Not a great match or a pretty one but Coco’s fight and smarts find a way against the ball machine. ✊🏻🎉

There are things about Coco’s FH that make me want to shout at the TV.

At that stage of the match when you realise ALL of the pressure is on Rinderknech. He’s been a nearly guy his whole career. To be this near to not being nearly…

Guy’s a cock. But even a broken cock is right twice a day.

It’s almost like the ATP top 20 realised that without Carlos and Sinner this was an incredibly rare opportunity to win a Masters 1000. And the pressure blew their minds. Instead we have two French cousins who were never ever going to win a Masters ever.

Tennis at its crazy best.

One of the peak tennis stories of year. Incroyable!

Felix looked at Rune and thought “I can do that too!”

And you wonder why Carlitos and Sinner are galaxies away.

Ha! Ain’t that the way, friend. 😂

His brain literally can’t play tennis.

No Alcaraz, no Sinner, no Fritz, no anyone in his path. And somehow he manages to blow it against the world #1000034. His mind is like a toaster in a bath.

He confused mentality with being mental.

Famously, the only way to negotiate and lessen cramp is to remain calm. Holger’s solution was to lose his shit and shout at everyone until he couldn’t move, fell over, and lost the match. Dude’s not trending upwards.

I have a vision of Carlitos on his parents sofa with his feet up watching his competitors dying on court in Shanghai. He chuckles with that accent of his:

“Well, this is great, to be honest. Not gonna lie.”

Medvedev throwing tantrums every two points, eight limbs flailing in every directions at once, while Tien doesn't even have a full facial expression will never not be funny. Who do we pay to make sure they're in the same half of every draw forever.

It’s so totally nuts it’s clearly meta at some level I can’t even comprehend. All I know is I want more. That said, I very much doubt they do. 😂💀

Every now and then total masochism delivers in spades. Hats off to Daniil Medvedev. He left the torture chamber smiling.

Tienvedev is Sincaraz without winners.

Their matches are becoming the stuff of legend. Every meeting one giant brutal rally to the death. Absolutely riveting.

I have a trad feral wife. It’s the same…but different.

Dudes in a death spiral. At some point all those losses searching for form become scar tissue. Taking a real break is always the brave and right thing to do.
