#making this one big exercise in 'is garcia still on my shitlist for everything she did to naomi earlier this year....yeah....no.....no yeah

[realpersonfacts]

tennis tierlist for intro purposes

ATP

my ride or die, my losing dog, my guy, my fave forever :((((( i would wage 1000 battles in his name i would kill all of his enemies in cold blood i would give him my shoulder so that he had a working serve again. i'm not fucking playing around i love him in a crazy way and i hate anyone who beats him: daniil medvedev

my second-favorite professional male tennis player, mr evilvillain himself: novak djokovic

holger: rune

technically he is public enemy number two but i like his tennis and endearing nature so i do like to see him winning: carlos alcaraz

i have a bit of a soft spot for them but you will not catch me rooting for them over any of the above: frances tiafoe, grigor dimitrov but only when serena is in the crowd cheering for him, taylor fritz, arthur fils

i couldn’t care less if they live or die: everyone else on the tour

WTA

faves (Actually can i have five more of these little blond bitches): aryna sabalenka, elena rybakina

i still believe in them because i’m STUPID: karolina muchova, naomi osaka

it’s nuanced in a different way for each one and i don’t feel like typing all of that right now but overall i like them but they don’t always compel me: iga swiatek, coco gauff, qinwen zheng, daria kasatkina

fun but i will not be rooting for them over the first two tiers and only selectively over the third tier: jasmine paolini, barbora krejcikova, jessica pegula, donna vekic, madison keys, mirra andreeva

NEVER RETIRE: victoria azarenka, sloane stephens, ons jabeur

parasocial enemies: emma navarro, caroline garcia, anna blinkova, peyton stearns, i’m sure there are a couple others i am forgetting but apart from these select enemies assume i am mildly positive on everyone else on the tour 👍

fedal, novandy, igaryna, fedole, rafole, ruru
