Novak sucks. I cannot with his sexist, anti-vax ass. Serena is the GOAT. Period.
Ariana DeBose is a force. She really makes everything she’s apart of better.
Anti-vax dude.
Don’t care about his career at all. Mens tennis has no one I can root for these days.
Serena is the GOAT in tennis.
Class, talent, smart. 👍
Novak can win 100 Grand Slam titles, in my opinion he will always be a poor example of Sportsmanship.
Same. No question he’s a great tennis player, but I can’t help but contrast the way he talks about himself with someone like Roger Federer (who, when he retired, said he was just really lucky to be able to do this and play tennis with his friends for so long).
It also drives me nuts that ND can’t seem to figure out why people dislike him.
False modesty is the meanest species of pride.
@Matilda. Completely agree. And it doesn’t matter if he retires with the most GSs for a man or overall. He will never have the love, admiration and respect that Nadal and Federer receive, which he so desperately wants.
I think that’s what eats him up, too. He knows that no matter how many slams he wins, everyone will always place Roger and Rafa above him.
I used to work in a professional sports pressbox, not to mention just working in society at large, and I cannot tell you how hard I shipped anyone but Ted & Rebecca. It’s WAY beyond time we see appropriate work behaviors & respect on shows.
I couldn’t agree more. I was just watching some English cop series the other night where the senior detective was having a fling with a subordinate. Somebody mentioned ‘well, it’s not against the regs’, and I thought, it isn’t??? It sure as heck should be! What is wrong with England?!
It never crossed my mind that they would get together until I saw tweets about it. The scene where Rebecca gags on a biscuit after hearing Sassy describe her night with Ted was all I needed to know to be sure it would never happen.
It was so much fun having Alex Skarsgard on Succession, but I wouldn’t put his performance even in the top 5 of the show, although I suppose he’s probably in a different Emmy category than the stars. I think it’s crazy that the stars are all up against each other, though. They were all brilliant and vibed off one another’s brilliance, so how can one of them be the winner? I guess if I really had to pick one, it would be Jeremy. I loathed Kendall so much, but he changes personas constantly throughout the series, while the others more perfected their singular persona.
Novak is a great tennis player, even with all his weird health regiments and anti-vax stances BUT he’s only tied with Serena in Singles slams. She also has 14 women’s doubles slams titles, 2 mixed doubles slam titles and 4 olympic gold medals. I don’t even remember how many year end titles she has, so yeah, Novak has some catching up to do 🙂
I also find it weird that they only want to compare (pretend he’s surpassed) him to a female tennis player when it’s Serena 🙁 Stick to comparing him to Nadal and Federer and leave Serena out of it.
It is very strange to compare the 2. Especially when men need to win 3 sets for a grand slam. So if you are truly comparing the two, you could start there.
Yeah, that’s a difference that isn’t the fault of the women, though LOTS of people bring it up as a way to denigrate the women’s tour. The WTA has offered to play best of 5 and been told no. But think of the scheduling issues. So the tournaments nor the broadcast rights folks want everyone playing best of 5 in a grand slam.
The Women’s year end championship use to be best of 5 ( I think I remember Seles playing Graf in one) but they were scaled back for those reasons–scheduling and television time. So, when the men screech about the women not “deserving” equal pay because of Bo5, it sets my teeth on edge. Would you prefer to watch Serena play a best of three match or two ATP players who aren’t household names grind out five sets? I say that as someone who enjoys both men’s and women’s tennis but get really annoyed when there’s a women’s tournament being played and the Tennis Channel is showing men’s matches all day, many of them from unknown or not well-known players. The men have the better broadcasting packages because men are the ones making the decisions about who gets television time.
Casper Rud – No Vax’s opponent -performed so well that I was thinking it would take magic and a biblical miracle to beat him.
Djokovic emerged the victor: the man is hot as hell and a modern-day gladiator🔥😍.
Djokovic will never hold a candle to true greats like Roger, Rafa, Serena. Congrats to him on his tennis accomplishments, but his biggest claim to fame is being an antivax douche.
Serena is Serena and there won’t likely be another, at least anytime soon. Comparing is really dumb imo. Makes me question the motive. That said, Novak is an outstanding tennis player. His personal decisions don’t take away from that.
