Frenchvedev!

"moi, chui quelqu'un qui réagit à ce qui se passe, parfois dans le négatif, parfois dans le positif"

"on va voir comment ça se passe cette année... il y des jours ou il y a tout le stade pour moi, il y a des jours ou il y a tout le stade contre - ouais, les français ils sont durs à - comme vous dites - à séduire"

"c'est des émotions, un jour on t'aime un jour on t'aime pas"

"ben on aime bien... next gen, old gen, moi, chui mi-gen"

"j'ai plus le même feu de jeunesse, quand on monte, on vient de rentrer dans les 100, dans les 10, je suis plutôt là à progresser, à garder cet feu"

"le service [de Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard] m'inspire, c'est vrai. C'est marrant parce que déja... on s'entrainait quand il, je ne sais pas quelle place il avait, mais autor de 500-600 et ouais, c'était dûr de le retourner déja!"

et il termine par la petite anecdote en racontant que Karen s'entrainait avec GMP lors des US Open et avait décidé de rentrer dans le terrain un peu plus pour les entraînements à la deuxième balle, puis était assez choqué par les "missiles" qu'il recevait - et GMP qui lui explicait calmement qu'il avait bien réduit la vitesse de service de 10 km/h 😂

Holger Rune is so weird.

like, I am aware that he has said some stuff in the past and that he has done some stuff in the past, but he’s fucking weird man- can you really blame the guy when he clearly doesn’t know what’s coming out of his brain next?

Does anyone want a snippet of the tennis au? (She asked, knowing damn well that she's going to give it regardless)

Charles doesn't find an empty court. Instead, he finds Max practicing—no, playing because no one gives this much of themselves over while just practicing—against someone Charles doesn't recognise. Charles can't help it, he lingers, takes a seat in the bleachers and just watches.

He's slightly off kilter as he sets his duffle bag down onto the empty seat next to him. It's way too early for anyone to be here, the sun only made an appearance minutes before. Point is, no one's supposed to be here. Maybe that's why Max is, though.

Charles watches as Max sends the ball flying and watches some more as his opponent misses it entirely. While he's at it, he watches the way Max's eyes stay on the ball, never straying away, watches the scruff of his shoes, the swish of his shorts with every movement, and the way sunlight shines down on his hair making it look golden. The ball thuds against the clay ground again, Charles hears it happen. Despite him not watching it happen, he knows it wasn't Max who lost track of it. The sunlight catches again, this time on the newfound curve of Max's lips.

Charles thinks maybe this is why the sun is here so early.

The thought stays for a minute, simmers under Charles' white polo before burning and biting—hard and hot. It has him running warm—skin sizzling like the beginning of a fever.

He hastily grabs his bag and leaves feeling like a fucking vouyer.

No listen. I stan deeply problematic people because like recognises like. I strongly believe people deserve second chances if they’re genuinely trying to learn and grow.

Which leads me to Marat Safin, who has been a long time favourite player of mine. His career was definitely negatively affected by his temperament so if he’s helped Andrey Rublev in any way, it comes from hard won experience and there’s absolutely nothing surprising about it.

Wapeach because why not?

Oshitari: Why are you following me?

Gakuto: Because we're dating now.

Oshitari: Yeah, okay... But what about Jirou?

Gakuto: We're a package deal.

Jirou: Buy one idiot, get another one free.

arthur cazaux breadsticking pcb this is what me and flops like me dream of

[jabeur]

sometimes tennis commentary is so ridiculous cause imagine saying the world number 2 "didn't realize how important this point was" while 30-40 on the number 1's serve during a 1000 final...........

To be honest I did not have Max Purcell on my radar as a possible threat for Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals in Cincinnati
