i honestly gave no idea how people are still supporting to the 1975??? i hopped off that train like 5 years ago when the first whispers of healy's fucking awful shitstain rainbow of racism started popping out in the media. like... the comments about hip-hop and rock and roll in 2018, the islamophobia in 2019, the centering of himself and his music in the midst of blm movement in 2020???? fucking weird as hell sexual behaviour with fans at concerts, nazi salutes, wanking off to woc getting brutalised??? there's even more that gets buried when you try to search for it because there's just so bloody much of it that it pops up again every other news cycle!!

like there's so much wrong with this guy. it's repeated behaviour. the guy isn't evolving or changing, he's just getting louder about his bigotry and continuing to make himself the centre of everything and damn the consequences it has for anyone else.

fucking asshole narcissist. HOW are people seeing anything he does as anything other than something to inflate his ego and get the hero white knight worship he so desperately craves. it's not even a lack of critical thinking at this point it's just people's own fucking idiocy and bigotry.

even your standard formula one driver is better than this dude like jesus fucking CHRIST????!??!??

Oh bars??? It's like how many times can you do racist until it clicks that the man is an Actual Racist. But he's charming right. He makes music you like. Sometimes he's nice to his fans. So it doesn't appear you can push this faults deep down. To be honest it's the same with any white artist, filmmaker, musician whatever. They can say the most vile shit, do the most insane batshit like straight up racist stuff but you can never get people off the teat of a white man no matter what they do. The story never changes.

And the other thing as well is that no Man In A Band is a perfect person but what truly grates my is the audacity to do it so publicly and so loudly and be like Oh My God Matty Healy loves and supports queers <3 Like if I knew I stanned an aint shit dude I'd just be so quiet about it.....

Roland Garros Men's Final: Will It Be Alcaraz's Third or Zverev's First?

The stage is set for an electrifying men's final at Roland Garros, where a new champion will be crowned. The contest pits the tenacious Carlos Alcaraz against the formidable Alexander Zverev. Will Alcaraz secure his third Grand Slam title, or will Zverev finally achieve his maiden Grand Slam victory?

Alexander Zverev's Red-Hot Streak

Zverev enters the final riding a wave of momentum, having recently triumphed at the Rome Masters. His path to the final has been marked by impressive victories over top players such as Rafael Nadal and Casper Ruud. Despite these opponents not being at their peak, Zverev’s wins are a testament to his current form and resilience. Notably, Zverev survived two grueling five-set matches against Tallon Griekspoor and Holger Rune. Against Griekspoor, Zverev was down two breaks in the fifth set but showcased remarkable grit and determination to clinch the victory. Zverev's potent combination of a big first serve and relentless consistency in rallies makes him a formidable opponent on any surface.

Carlos Alcaraz: Overcoming Nerves and the Competition

On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz has had a more tumultuous journey. His recent performance in the Roland Garros semifinal was shaky, characterized by an unusually high number of unforced errors. In his match against Jannik Sinner, Alcaraz committed 35 unforced errors and managed a first serve percentage of only 58%, leading to a nail-biting encounter that showcased more nerves than finesse.

To put this in perspective, while his average unforced errors in shorter best-of-three matches is around 23, the increase during the longer best-of-five sets highlights the pressure and intensity of the semifinals. Despite these challenges, Alcaraz remains the favorite to win the title. A victory here would mark his third Grand Slam on a different surface, putting him just one Slam away from achieving a career Grand Slam. Moreover, winning Roland Garros would bring Alcaraz within 1,000 points of Jannik Sinner in the ATP rankings, a crucial factor as he defends his Wimbledon title points while Sinner only defends semifinal points. This is key for Alcaraz's aspirations to end the year as World No. 1.

Head-to-Head Record

Overall Record: Alcaraz and Zverev have faced each other 5 times, with Zverev leading the head-to-head 3-2.

Clay Court Record: On clay, they have met 3 times, with Alcaraz leading 2-1.

Their encounters on clay have been particularly telling, showcasing the strengths and weaknesses of both players on this surface. Alcaraz's superior clay court record against Zverev could be a deciding factor in the final.

Key Stats and Comparisons on Clay

Carlos Alcaraz:

Win rate on clay in 2023: 84%

Average first serve points won: 72%

Break points saved: 68%

Alexander Zverev:

Win rate on clay in 2023: 78%

Average first serve points won: 74%

Break points saved: 65%

Alcaraz’s proficiency on clay is slightly higher, underscoring his tactical adeptness and comfort on the surface.

Strategic Keys for Victory

Alexander Zverev:

Consistent Rallies: Zverev’s ability to outlast opponents in long rallies, reducing unforced errors, will be crucial. His first serve will need to be on point to win easy points and put Alcaraz on the defensive.

Aggressive Return Game: Capitalizing on Alcaraz's second serve with deep, aggressive returns to force errors and seize control of points.

Carlos Alcaraz:

Topspin Forehand: Utilizing his heavy, high topspin forehand to push Zverev back and create opportunities to attack. This strategy can neutralize Zverev’s aggression and allow Alcaraz to dictate the pace of the match.

Variety and Drop Shots: Mixing up play with drop shots to exploit Zverev’s movement and pull him out of position. Alcaraz’s ability to change the rhythm and pace of rallies can disrupt Zverev’s game plan.

Mental Fortitude: Maintaining composure and minimizing unforced errors will be key for Alcaraz. His previous Grand Slam experience gives him an edge in handling the pressure of the final.

Finally....

While Zverev’s current form is undeniably impressive, Alcaraz’s overall proficiency on clay and his experience in Grand Slam finals make him the favorite. A victory here not only cements Alcaraz’s status as a clay court maestro but also brings him one step closer to a career Grand Slam and significantly impacts the ATP rankings. However, this match promises to be a thrilling encounter with both players having clear paths to victory. The player who can best execute their strategy and handle the high-stakes atmosphere will emerge as the new champion of Roland Garros.

The tennis world waits with bated breath to see whether it will be Alcaraz lifting his third Grand Slam trophy or Zverev celebrating his maiden triumph. Stay tuned for what promises to be an unforgettable final.

would highly recommend getting into motogp! some of the best racing in all of motorsport (well tbh in my opinion moto3 is hands down definitively the best racing in all of motorsport) and a LOT of very interesting characters and lore. it’s also just kind of unhinged?

i have watched a couple of moto3 races i think! i remember ayumu sasaki and deniz oncu. but it's tough following so many series 😅 i feel like i'm already at my limit with wec + fe + f2/3, and the occasional imsa race thrown in. my tv does show it so if i ever have some free time (getting rarer nowadays) i'd love to watch, although it'll probably be a bit harder to get fully invested. thank you for the recommendation tho 🫶
