He wasnโt โbarredโ from any slam. He chose not to comply with the conditions required to enter the countries where these tournaments were held. Ik this has been talked about too much, but Iโll continue to insist on this as long as ppl talk about measures put in place to save
Let's appreciate how last season he was completely barred from participating in both hard court slams because of politics.
Next year he just wins them both.

Garbiรฑe Muguruza will be flying over Chennai (India), my home city, sometime between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM. I will stay up all night, track her flight and will salute towards the night sky when she overflies my city. It's the least I can do for my champion.
Q: "Who is someone you don't like playing"
Sinner: "I don't like playing no, but one I take it as a very big challenge - that's why I practice for - is Medvedev. In H2Hs, I am far back. But these are challenges that I try to prepare in the best possible way for the next time".
The discourse around the golden swing on this app really annoys me. I think ppl donโt realize that when theyโre complaining about these tourneys and even asking them to be removed from the calendar, theyโre advocating for tennis to exist for a smaller and more restrained audience
Unpopular opinion: this is how we cheer on Latin America and weโre not going to stop bc some gringos are too used to their countries and donโt like it. Youโre an elite athlete, deal with the โnot nice atmosphereโ.
Not questioning anyone's citizenship here, but it's funny how this guy is not bringing up Cam Norrie, who was born in South Africa, grew up in New Zealand, went to college in the US and yet plays for GB. His British-sounding name is enough for Ricky apparently.

Stop using presumption of guilt bc you donโt have the guts to say you donโt believe women. Youโre faking impartiality bc youโre shielding him from scrutiny, not law conviction or any kind of consequences, therefore taking his side.
Until Zverev is charged and โguiltyโ in a court of law, he is innocent in my eyes.
I will not take the word of one person over another when there is not court case, no guilty judgment.
Can you guys imagine how unfair the hatred is if he is innocent?
Why is Break Point making an episode called โSaints and Sinnersโ that doesnโt feature Jannik? And why are there two episodes following Ajla and even her father is being interviewed? This show makes no sense.
When something a man says makes them โconfidentโ and a โbad boyโ but makes a woman โcockyโ and โarrogantโ, thatโs your internalized misogyny showing. ๐ซข

โs most thrilling driver talks with rare candor about his ruthless rise to the top:
Followers who don't know portuguese (I'll try to explain this the best I can considering I might not know the legal terms in english): Thiago Wild has been indicted for three offences against his former partner, including physical and psychological violence.
when ATP and WTA should be in more and more diverse places. Thereโs a large audience for tennis in South America and thatโs very special, even more than the 1000 tournaments in the same small European countries that would all fit inside Brazil, I dare say. And yes, clay is the
I have known Norr*e is an a hole for a while as I described in the past (anyone whoโs been following since last year might remember). He was terrible to fans in Rio Open last year.
Iga Swiatek on WTAโs return to China & Peng Shuai: โI just trust that WTA is making right decision. I hope that we, as players, can be safe no matter what country weโre from. I don't have any emotional influence bc Iโve never even been to China. It's hard for me to say anythingโ
I don't have a miserable life like you..
You are jobless to keep looking some player personal life 24/7 and passing a judgement when you don't know him 1% personally!
I just watch Zverev for his tennis and my personal life is good so I am happy!
Duplantis and Del Potro are two men I think are attractive but that I also think look like better looking versions of Quasimodo. I donโt know how to make sense of this.
Iโd rather watch Luรญsa Stefani and Gabriela Dabrowski or Pavic/Mektic, Cabal/Farah, Ram/Salisbury any day instead of a Reilly Opelka match. Honestly, this is rich coming from a servebot, which is exactly what Iโd like to get rid of in tennis.
Reilly Opelka on what he would change about ATP Tour: โGet rid of doubles, only time people watch are when its singles players or the Bryan Bros."
I am a news source first & try not to get involved in drama. But this is a sad statement. Especially by a professional tennis player
My mentions have been full of dudebros who have combined their lack of skill in highlighting subtext with the ongoing, palpable anger and frustration they feel with the larger discourse on treating others with respect. It's kinda sad and pathetic.
I know some people are going to be mad at me for this, but it needs to be said. In order to call someone a predator you need to establish pattern. A person being involved with someone younger isnโt a problem, someone who systematically goes after much younger people is.
@tsitsipxs
And donโt get me wrong, cheating is bad, obviously - but thereโs a difference between being a cheater with someone of legal age consensually and being a predator. Scummy? Sure, but itโs never gone past that. With AZ, real evidence backs it up at least.
ideal for us either, but itโs the slot we get). Thatโs no reason not to have tourneys being held here. We have an important tennis tradition that should be respected. Not only that, but Iโve come across ppl calling here a โsh*tholeโ and wondering why player would want to come
Acc the tournament didn't give her any cake lol, as it was revealed in Dasha's vlog. She acc tagged Conchita on the post on ig so she's probably the one responsible for the nipples cake.
Cuz if heโs not talking about Simone Biles, he couldnโt possibly be talking about the pressure heโs facing as one of the greatest athletes of his sport trying to accomplish a historical feat. Stop spreading lies, youโre doing nothing to support Simone with that.
To all of you who say that he was not talking about Simone Biles, Iโm sorry, youโre right; he was talking about his younger cousin, who quit her cheerleader highschool team
@tennisbish
Not only he doesn't follow Z, I checked just now and Med still follows Olya, while she follows him and Dasha. It might not mean much, but it makes me curious about what Med and Dasha think about the whole situation.
to โthe end of the Earthโ, not even trying to hide their xenophobia. About the players that come here, I donโt want to sound like a Rafan, but the fact most of the tour is played on HC makes some players ranking not represent how dangerous they are on clay and some of the
how clueless do you have to be to argue your country deserves a M1000 and a slam in close proximity?!! ๐ซ (I have to travel a longer distance to go to Rio to watch a 500 than someone would have going from Cincinatti to NY to watch a fckng slam, therefore they deserve a 1000 too?
