The Gays and Tennis - Part 182 Clay Continuing Currently

Da, molim.

You fucked up that first post well & good…

Fortunate to spend yesterday at the Madrid Open, with incredible eye candy matches. Tommy's mustache is a mistake, but he has lovely thighs. Khachanov does indeed look like a Helmsworth, albeit with less muscle. Musetti is lovely -- he's the only one who doesn't wear a baseball cap or a headband, presumably because it would mess up his perfect hair -- he's also tiny compared to the other blokes, although it doesn't seem to matter. The Dmitrov-Fearnley match comprised one game (leftover from yesterday's blackout); Dmitrov is, indeed, lovely, but Fearnley is a doll. Draper and Berretini are both as beautiful closeup as you'd imagine -- I don't understand why the latter retired after a set (no evidence of injury into the tiebreaker).

It's a great place to watch tennis -- no bad seats in the main stadium (unlike the Grand Slams), and Court 3 (main stadium tkts get access) is about as close to the players as you can get.

On the tennis front, I haven't been to live tennis in 6 years, and the game has changes, I think for the better -- the power, the focus, the accuracy, the shots that have no margins of error. No tedium of Nadal's OCD every serve and Djokovic's annoyance (I am already writing him off as yesterday's news). The men are much hotter, as well.

Madrid is the nicest city in the world.

Thanks for your observations, r3. Are you going back today?

Thank you, Madrid Correspondent R3

I always enjoy DL G&Ter's live reports. You are so right about Madrid - an amazing city. I haven't been for about a decade but such a fun and exciting vibe.

RFC has anger issues. I totally believe the allegations made towards him.

r3, Do you watch/listen to the "Nothing Major" podcasts? Those American boys were saying they were never able to figure out Madrid as a city. Didn't think the Caja was that Magica, either.

Happy for Ruud!

Going out in Madrid in the late 90s and 00s was a blast. Out for a dinner at 10pm - hit a first bar about midnight. Get chatting to someone at the bar - they introduce you to their friends. Leave with them en masse at 2am, and off to the next bar. Get talking to someone else at the new bar - meet their friends - leave with the new people to go to a club - rinse and repeat until you finally run out of juice/sanity at some afterparty at someone's apartment in Chueca in the middle of the next afternoon.

Unlike Barcelona, no-one cares where you're from - if you're up for an adventure you're 'new family'. Think of a European version of the 70s 'Tales Of The City' San Francisco.

Grand architecture, a beautiful park (The Retiro), a brilliant Metro system. and great food and drink. Seriously, what's not to love?

Nice.....

yes, please

Substitute his dick for that water bottle...

[quote] Those American boys were saying they were never able to figure out Madrid as a city.

What did they mean?

They can’t read a Metro map.

r13, The primary complaint seemed to be they never knew where to go to eat (and that the Spanish dining hours were a bad fit for a player's schedule). But it also seemed like they couldn't figure out where they were supposed to go for fun/tourism.

I will add that I don't have a clear sense of Madrid as a tourist destination, either. It seems to lack the iconic must-see attraction and/or neighborhood.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read here in a while.

“1will add that I don't have a clear sense of Madrid as a tourist destination, either. It seems to lack the iconic must-see attraction and/or neighborhood.”

Sad, last days for stupid Americans.

R15 I understand what you mean, R15. Madrid lacks the grand statement landmarks of a Paris, Rome, London, or even Seville, but... I know this sounds 'wanky'... it's more of a vibe city. You hang out, observe, and get drawn in to what's going on. It doesn't really lend itself to the experience of visiting tennis players who are looking for things to easily do and see in the few hours they have to spare during a tournament.

It doesn’t sound wanky. It sounds ill-informed and moronic.

If you had only one morning and afternoon to spare you could see three of the world’s greatest art museums within a 15 minute walk, with time to stroll through one of Europe’s greatest public parks.

Captain Jack makes short work of ODS Tommy: a 6-2, 6-2 steamroller.

Also American boys take to clay like certain politicians take to the truth. Have we had any American ATPers master the clay since the days of Agassi, Courier and Chang ?

"Good match. Lose the PP and you'll play better."

Another American clay flopper

Flopos Americans!

Young GD levels up against Not So Young GD!

Tough day at the office for my beloved Demon.

R26 I can't help but feel it was a big opportunity missed for Demon to take his first 1000 title, with the top 5 already out or absent.

Another fun day at the Madrid Open -- I can't imagine a tournament that gives you better value for your money -- no bad seats, and you can visit the other main courts if you're not feeling the match on the main court.

Draper v. Paul: They both play the same sort of game -- stand at the baseline and wait for the other handsome guy to make an error. But Jack is much bigger, much stronger (Paul would clearly be the bottom) and was not missing at all yesterday. Tommy just totally outgunned (think 8x6 vs. 5x4). After the match, Big Jack took off his baseball cap so that his perfectly coiffed here (still perfect after the match) would be just so for the interviews...

Maddy v. Iga: First set, Maddy didn't miss a thing. Iga Bageled! But somehow we knew that Iga would win. Iga looks...scrawny. But focused. The final set was tense.

The funnest match of the day was on Court 3, for dessert: Ro Bopanna, looking grandfatherly at 45, playing doubles with Ben Shelton (less than half Bopanna's age) against two veteran Argentinian fellows. I'd love to know how this pairing came about. Ben is handsomer and much smaller in person! Looks barely 5'8". But more power than the other three put together -- plays very exciting tennis, and when it works, it's amazing, but it often doesn't work...All charisma, little control. Bopanna has quite the cheering section. Doubles here they play sudden death games (no deuce/ad) and no third set -- the third set is simply a ten point tie break, which the Argentinians won 11-9. Men's doubles on a tiny court > Women's singles on a stadium court.

Those above who don't get Madrid...Really? True, it doesn't have an Eiffel Tower or a Sagrada Familiar or a gay beach, but fantastic museums, great neighborhoods, amazing parks, fantastic food, and the street vibe is just wonderful (even during the blackout on Monday). In nice weather (which can be a problem, admittedly), my favorite city in the world.

Thank you for the report, R28.

It’s doubles match!

Lorenzo... and the faintest whiff of a treasure trail.

R28 You nailed it. I don't get why Madrid gets a bad rep. Sure, it doesn't have the Eiffel Tower or the Colosseum or Sagrada familia. And it's in the middle of the country, so not exactly close to a beach (just a few hours away by train though!) On the other hand Madrid is amazing in many other ways, it has an amazing park (Parque Retiro), great museums (Thyssen, Prado etc), a great gay neighborhood (Chueca), great food, good public transportation (the metro), a good vibe and the weather is really nice (in summer, even though it gets really hot it is never unbearable thanks to the altitude, it's a dry heat). The best part is that it isn't overtly touristy. Barcelona has become horrible. Madrid is a very underrated city imo. It's very fun and can be recommended. The people are friendly and fun too.

A French tennis player has claimed that he was given a death threat at the net by his opponent in a Challenger tournament on Wednesday afternoon.

Corentin Moutet was taking part in the Open Aix Provence Credit Agricole in Aix-en-Provence this week, playing his first-round tie against Pavel Kotov.

A place in the second-round remains in play for both players, with bad light having suspended their tussle at 7-5, 3-6 to Moutet, and with the third set at 5-5.

But the 26-year-old could yet be unwilling to return to face off with his Russian opponent, having alleged that Kotov said that he would 'kill him' if he returned to face off with him at the net.

In a post on social media which was later deleted by the player, Moutet claimed that Kotov had told him: 'Next time you come to the net, I'll kill you.

'One day, someone will kill you.'

Directing the remainder of the post at his followers, and the ATP, Moutet added: 'There wasn't even a warning. Apparently, those words are allowed on court.

'How do you (the ATP) expect me not to get involved if you don't do your job?'

After deleting the social media message, Moutet later returned to the platform to reshare a report of the events, adding: 'I'm going to have trouble sleeping...'

World No121 Kotov has not responded to the allegations publicly.

The pair were forced to continue their clash on Thursday, with Moutet taking the match 6-5. 3-6, 7-5. The pair refused to shake hands at the net.

Moutet has often courted controversy on the tennis tour, most recently embroiling himself in a showdown with world No75 Alexander Bublik during which the Kazakh star offered to 'meet (Moutet) in the car park'.

'You want to fight? The French kid is speaking and he doesn't want to fight.' Bublik said after both players had shaken hands with the umpire.

'Let's go. We meet in 10 minutes outside.'

Last year's Madrid Open also saw Moutet engage in a battle of words with the umpire after she denied him the opportunity to drink a coffee during his four-hour epic against Shang Jungcheng.

'It doesn't matter where we play, we don't provide coffee,' the umpire said in an attempt to placate the Frenchman. 'I cannot bring it to you.'

Moutet instead went into furious detail about the other refreshments on offer at the tournament, before adding sarcastically: 'Am I asking for caviar?'

I didn't realize Diallo is so tall (6ft8). He's another player who can't stop shouting and fist pumping

Is this the real life? Is this just Fran-tasy?

Cerundolo outlasts an ailing Mensik to join Casper in the semi finals.

Frantastic!

r40, the article on the ATP site doesn't mention Mensik being injured. Was he hurt or just fatigued?

R42 The Sky TV commentators mentioned several times that Mensik had been nursing some kind of virus all week. He definitely looked fatigued from the middle of the second set.

Big Jack D is now sporting the most delightful highlights in his hair.

Yesterday Jack grabbed Tommy at the net to give him a big hug

Coco NO choke-o. …whips Iga’s ass on clay.

A very demure, very mindful Captain Jack takes care of business - 6-0 6-4 over Twinknaldi.

Today at the Madrid Open...

Neither Ruud nor Coco crumbled. The latter was VERY impressive: Calm, collected, unrattled, the serve and forehand working beautifully. Totally dialed in. Even after the first set during the "toilet break," (I love it that they actually call it that), while Iga went potty, Coco practiced her serves. Beautiful. Ruud's game isn't flashy, but his shots hit the lines today just a few more times than Medvedev...

Wonderful doubles match with Americans Harrison (yum if you like Abercrombie boys with abs) and King (yum if you like handsome African American men) firing on all cylinders and making the semis. Again, open access to smaller courts makes this a fantastic tournament for spectators. Couldn't be easier to get to the Caja Magica by metro (which is immaculately clean, calm, polite)...A lovely place, this.

Thanks for the entertaining updates R48 - eres una estrella!

Iga always takes a “bathroom break” when she loses the first set. Odd how that happens. Shades of Citybus.

Christian Harrison and Evan King

Cap'n Jack!

luverly Lore

Impeccable taste R51!

Frantastic Team or Wudd Team?

Cap'n Jack Team or Luverly Lore Team?

Wuud team.

Hard to decide for me as well between Jack and Lore. I’ll go with Lore.

Thanks so much for asking.

Coco v She Hulk should be a great final. Coco plays Saba tough for some reason.

Wuud and Lore. A visual feast tomorrow.

Non-white/yellow final, per favore. Grazie mille.

[quote] Non-white/yellow final

What does this mean? You don't like predominantly white clothing like Agassi at Wimbledon?

I'm actually happy whoever gets through to the final - nice to have a bunch of non-asshole players - who are all pretty easy on the eye - at the sharp end of a tournament.

R61 Completely agree. I will watch both matches and let the best win.

[quote] Non-white/yellow final, per favore. Grazie mille.

You want Cerundolo to win because he has a yellow and black kit?

I love the Frangomint color on the ballspersons.

If coco wins the MO, she takes the World #2 spot from Iga .

I hope Coco takes the trophy tomorrow just to see her unseed Iga from the #2 spot

Anyone can ein but Draper

My God, that was a sloppy match.

On the evidence of that match whoever wins out of Draper and Musetti should walk the final.

Happy for Casper!

Casper was apparently nursing a rib injury during the match so I doubt his maiden 1000 title is gonna happen this weekend.

First set to The Captain.

Good match so far. Both players playing better as the set wore on.

R45 got me hard

Into the Madrid final, Draper knocks Novaxx out of the top five.

Boo! white/yellow final is no fun

Wow, that second set was a doozy. Lorenzo finding his groove and starting to outplay Jack, who really dug deep, stepped up, and pulled out the tie-break.

[quote] Boo! white/yellow final is no fun

What does this mean?

Just ignore it, r75. It won't go away but let it have its pathetic little fun and carry on with your life.

It’s satire—aren’t you familiar with DL theories of race?

[quote] It’s satire—aren’t you familiar with DL theories of race?

I thought it was a reference to the colors of the players’ kits.

So who is white, and who is yellow?

Yes, do tell R77. I'm sure it will be hilarious.

Cap'n Jack, bishes!

luvly, forlorn Lore

Lore in flight

R81 Saint Lore!

I hope Iga loses Madrid, Rome and RG

^ well aren't you a lil ray of sunshine

R89 just read the tennis & gays threads…we are not your reference librarian. It’s replete with references to Brits and Scandinavians vis-a-vis Italians and Latins/South Americans…not hard to parse out.

R79^

What a boring MO Men's final - 😴

Exactly!^

So very tired, unoriginal stereotypes is 'satire' now, is it?

Well, back to putting you on 'ignore', I guess.

Cap'n Jack will be in the top 5 as of Monday

Pity Musetti has tattoos. They are blemishes on an otherwise nice body.

[quote] Boo! white/yellow final is no fun

Is Draper white and Ruud yellow? What's the reasoning behind that?

She-Hulk team or CoCo team?

I have yet to watch tennis this season which is odd to me. Has Djokovic retired yet?

Replacing Novaxx, r91

R95b Djokovic hasn't retired, but he's started making hints that it might not be too far away.

He said that i might be the last time he plays in Madrid during his press conference after his second round loss earlier this week.

Gays of Tennis, does your sport have a "serious pickleball problem"?

Which one is white and which yellow?

R112 "Just read the tennis & gays threads…we are not your reference librarian. It’s replete with references to Brits and Scandinavians vis-a-vis Italians and Latins/South Americans…not hard to parse out."

WE HAVE (NOT) BEEN TOLD!

[quote] WE HAVE (NOT) BEEN TOLD!

Yeah R86 tells us nothing.

Wuud wins first set. 7-5. I thought he was going to lose it, but he came back.

First blood to Casper!

Ruud's really tightened things up since the semi with Cerundolo and seemed to be really getting under Draper's skin towards the back end of the set.

[quote] Draper's skin

But is it yellow or white?

Angry Draper is so hot. Fuck!

Angry Draper levels up.

This could definitely go either way.

Is white ahead or yellow?

R120 I know but if I told you I'd have to kill you.

Did white win or yellow?

CAPTAIN COOL & CONSISTENT CASPER GETS FINALLY HIS 1000!

Great match!

[quote] CASPER GETS FINALLY HIS 1000!

For Wuud that's like winning four tournaments at once!

Casper is cute.

Yellow 1000

Nice moment at the net. Follow up in the showers later.

Happy for him. He has said that he is consulting with a therapist for his mental health. How can someone not like Casper?

Captain Jack shaved his chest :-(

Tacky

[quote] Yellow 1000

Why "Yellow"?

It's 'satire', allegedly. Not sure I'll ever stop laughing...

So so happy for our Wuud.

Wuud team.

Wuud winning.

^^^^ WTF with that trophy? It looks vaguely like a flamenco fan but only vaguely.

Will Wuud win Wome?

R126 That trophy...it’s almost yellow AND white!

Possibly Wome followed up by a win at Woland Gawwos R138

[quote] That trophy...it’s almost yellow AND white!

Representing what?

That's weawy impwobabwe.

The two finalists…maybe. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Which ATP players are white and which yellow?

I'm very happy for Casper!

[quote] I'm very happy for Casper! —Norwegian

Is he yellow though? Are any other Nordic male athletes yellow?

This has become an off-color thread.

Time for willage party.

This is a big accomplishment! Norway is a tiny country with only 5.5 million people. A Norwegian winning Madrid Open is huge!

Not really, Norgie.

R150 Sweden has twice the population.

What does population have to do with winning ATP 1000 events?

Yeah, you're so right R152, Sweden has 1.85 X the population and not twice the population *eye-roll*

Seriously, you are such a pompous JERK.

You’ve lost the thread. This is a fun thread for tennis fans, not for unrelated angry rants…there are other threads for that.—chill out in one of them.

Oh, the irony. All you ever do is mock other people's likes and contributions, without ever contributing anything positive yourself.

[quote] Loyola High School tennis star, ‘a shining presence,’ killed in Manhattan Beach crash; DUI suspect arrested

Meanwhile, the contenders' field to take the men's singles title this year looks more open than for a long while: rusty Sinner, Carlitos physically ailing, doddering Djokovic, wobbly RFC. Top contenders in terms of results so far, making a dent in more than one clay 1000/500 event: Alcaraz-Monte Carlo title & Barcelona finalist, Ruud-Madrid title & Barcelona QF, Musetti-Monte Carlo finalist & Madrid SF, Cerundolo-Madrid & Munich SF, Fils-Barcelona SF & Monte Carlo QF, Demon-Monte Carlo SF & Barcelona QF, ADF-Monte Carlo SF & Barcelona QF, Tsitsipas-Monte Carlo & Barcelona QF. Plus Draper's Madrid final leading the freak runs of RFC to the Hamburg title over Mopsy, and Rune taking Barcelona. We need Rome to give us a better idea of what's what and who's where.

FIrst round Rome matches likely worth a watch: Diallo-Giron, Navone-Cina, Marzipan-Fonseca, Cobolli-Nardi, Hijikata-Moutet, Comesana-Altmaier, Djere-Etcheverry, GMP-Thompson; and potential second round clashes: Carabelli-RFC, Navone-Sinner, Berrettini-Fognini, Fonseca-Rublev, Arnaldi-Paul, FAA-Borges, Demon-Cobolli, Comesana-Rune, Alcaraz-Struff, Musetti-Medjedovic.

RG contenders, that is.

For fans of white.

For fans of yellow.

I have a question whose answer I should know, but don't.

Watching the Madrid Open last week, it occurs to me: Why do the players wear the exact same outfits every day? I mean, they wash the shirts between days, of course (I suspect...). But Jack D wore the exact same blue and white (not particularly flashy or flattering) shirt every day. When he (thankfully, it was lovely) changed shirts several times during a sweaty match, the replacements were exactly the same model of blue and white shirt.

I understand that they shill for various corporations, but you could still have your corporate logo on different colored shirts -- say, blue and white one day, green and white the next, etc....Is this a tennis tournament rule? A strict contract with the corporate donors (Jack, you will only wear that blue and white model day in and day out)?

That’s too dumb to even answer—but, so you know, it’s not the same pieces of clothing…just the same kit. And they wear/rotate kits as they’ve arranged with their sponsor(s). Duh.

[R167] As I clearly wrote, "When he (thankfully, it was lovely) changed shirts several times during a sweaty match, the replacements were exactly the same model of blue and white shirt.]] Your polite response doesn't answer the question of why he can't wear a different color with the same logos, or a different style...

It did answer: And they wear/rotate kits as they’ve arranged with their sponsor(s).

…mean, they wash the shirts between days, of course (I suspect...).

You suspect? That they wear the same clothing day after day? It’s fast fashion —one and done. New out of the package for each match.

R166 a player's "kit" remains the same during the each tournament. It's almost like wearing a "jersey". Most top ten players will then have a new kit for the next tournament.

It makes a statement. For players like Serena, it was meant to be fashion.

Rafa is probably the most famous male player known for his colorful kits. And him (or anyone) wearing the same kit over and over helps sell tennis outfits all over the world. It's all preplanned and the kits are revealed a week or two before the big tourneys. It's kinda a big deal for certain players.

Also, here's actually tennis fans who rate kits, obsess over kits, criticize kits, etc.

R268 you can always watch golf instead….

They have outfits for each round—with a focus on Sat & Sun for TV. Why do you think Tiger wore red on Sunday?

R168^

Sunday the Golfer Wore Red

So mightn't it attract even more attention -- for the player, for the designer, for the corporate sponsor -- if the player did as golfers do, and, e.g.. kept the same design and same logos but changed colors every day? Is there an actual rule against that?

No.

No.

R175 we've answered your questions. Thoughtfully (at least on my part) and repeatedly.

You're just being annoying now.

Porna wins a massive nipple ring at Sunday's Challenger at Aix-en-Provence!

Porna's shorty-shorts are much appreciated.

Kvitova has put on weight.

R180...she had a baby.

She had a baby?

I don't know if you know, but I had a baby.

I'd never seen this booty cam angle before. Jack and Casper are not ATP Best Buns candidates, but there are certainly some other players I'd love to watch from this angle.

I’ve missed our Porna

R185 Porna's been winning or making finals in several Challengers so far this year, and has got his ranking back up to c. 80-ish. This should mean that he starts to get direct entry into 250s again. Dropping down to Challengers seems to be a good policy for a lot of players who have suffered a loss of form. The UGOAT did the same thing back in 2023 after falling to around 150: got his confidence and momentum back.

I like Porna with longer hair and more ass.

I'm with doge and gurlfrend!

My boyfriend Camilo has a lovely ass.

Link please, r189.

R190 Yes, he does. But as R189 well knows, Camilo is MY boyfriend, not his!

For you Captain Jack fans.

For Wuud fans.

White and yellow respectively.

Our smiling, swashbuckling sleeveless Adonis, Fran C...omesaña gets off to a flyer in Rome: 6-1, 7-5 over Altmaier.

Question: who is prettier - Fran C or The Princess of The Pampas: Gabriella Sabatini?

Fran C (Francine?) is a cutie.

Is his ATP nickname 'the shark'?

R196 Fran comes from Mar Del Plata - their local soccer team's nickname is 'The Sharks' - Fran does a 'shark fin' victory celebration in their honor.

Why, thank you, R197

R198 I think I'm starting to know far too much about him. A Wimbledon 'stalk' of his matches at SW19 might be in the offing later this summer...

Watch out, r191, they're still holding my earrings.

Our beautiful boyfriend, Camilo UC , safely though to round 2! 3 set win over PCB.

DL fave Ugo won!

SO happy for Ruud. Love him. And Draper, too. Awesome guys and fucking hot.

Papa Leone is a tennis fan!

“As a self-described amateur tennis player, Pope Leo XIV has expressed a longstanding passion for the sport. In a 2023 interview conducted by the General Curia of the Augustinian Order, then-Cardinal Prevost stated that he had fewer opportunities to play since leaving Peru. Reflecting on his years there, he expressed a desire to return to the court, suggesting that tennis had been a regular part of his routine during his time in the country.”

Guardian article quote from Big Jack Draper:

“I think I’ve got certain strengths that are good for a big guy, and all the skills I had when I was younger, when I was scrapping, I can still do that but at the same time I’m big now so I can also rip the ball quite hard and use my serve and use my size. It’s an interesting one,”

The only bad thing about Collins beating Swiatek today is that Ostapenko will now have to wait until the French to potentially increase her H2H against Iga to 7-0.

Do you prefer Giron of the Great Ass with or without facial hair?

'Soft' Ben YELLton has his shorts whipped down and is roundly spanked by Jaume Munar: 6-2 6-2.

R277 Looks good with, actually!

Actually Mopsy got unstrung even worse by Munar, 6-2, 6-1.

And Sinner serves notice that he's not rusty at all, beating our Sunshine Boy Navone 6-3, 6-4, even more impressive since Navone's strongest on clay.

R280 FLOPSY!

Instaho Oliver Muhl “interviewing” famous ATP players.

DL fave Peppa looking radiant as usual.

It's all getting a bit 'extra' in the City bus / Fils final set. Arthur is being very over the top in amping the crowd up, and Stefanos has just obliterated a racquet. Spicy.

Just saw a FB reel of Comesana changing his shirt. (Sorry, I'm too old to know how to link that here, as if the Facebook reference wasn't enough of a tell.)

Anyway, A) YUM! and B) why the hell is he wearing a sports bra?

R286 That's a lot of cunt!

Limber Laslo Team or HUNGcaraz Team?

Alcaraz (Garfia) team.

Djere is very hot.

How come we haven't discussed the Joao Sousa nudes?

When did Sanchez become so less unattractive? Good for her.

[quote]the Joao Sousa nudes

link pls

Are you referring to that TikTok Instagram thing called jwow_sousa, R292?

The link to Joao in a towel fresh out of the shower is the closest I could find for our tennis Joao, though he does dabble in Instagram too, link in the next post.

I'd hit that

One more--Joao and Domi, 2018

Down a Joao Sousa rabbit hole...

He's hawt. Those obliques. Not an ounce of body fat. I hope someone is pleasuring that bussy.

This thread has taken a compelling turn.

R302 is Ben and Courtney not Jim.

Laslo is very handsome.

Legz+ and ODS Tommy into a 3rd set...

Peyton Stearns makes Danielle Collins look like the Queen of England.

Terrible collapse from Osaka especially with Stearns cramping and puking. Pathetic for Naomi.

Battle of The Bel Ami Twinks;

Mensik Team or Marzipan Team?

Ostaspenko, serving peak cuntitude against Paolini. Hands on hips, long stares at the ref, she is EVERYTHING!

God, 2 double faults on serve for Ostapenko to lose the first set. She gonna come back to the second furious. Of course Tennis Channel is switching to the snorefest Gauff/Raducanu

Hottie Cerundolo is playing now against Ofner.

Did the announcer just say Peppa has committed 46 UEs????

Peppa receiving praise for today's on-court couture!

You can put lipstick on a pig…

Jack smashed his racket yesterday when he couldn't convert a billion BPs, lol.

New interview with Jack. He is so cute here.

Which one of you made this video? Lol.

Good win for Jaume Munar over Korda - he's gradually been building momentum over the past 12 months. Hoping that he can push on to break the top 50 for the first time.

Berrettimi or Wuud team?

R318 Spanish tennis could use a break. It's bleak behind Alcaraz.

Berrettini retires... again. Not clear why, no obvious sign of injury, just appeared to run out of energy.

Walkover. Wuud wins. Wome.

My laugh for the morning. The Italian Open website men's draw translates some of the men's names into English literally: Musetti = The Little Snouts, Navone = Rutabaga, Altmaier = Old Maider, Sonego = I'm Singing, Menzik = Monthly, Cerundulo = Cerundulous, Barrios Vera = True Neighborhoods, Tien = The Hold On, Berrettini = Caps, Gigante = Giant, Dellien = Of the Lord, Bu = Well, Darderi = The Darts, Kopivra = Cover, Fils = Son, PCB = Carreno Envelope, etc.

Is another horny nympho PP making Matteo work overtime fucking?

R323, I think the translation feature of your browser automatically kicked in when it detected all the Italian names in the draw. Because it didn't do it for me until I clicked on the translation tool in the address bar to manually enable it and then the Italian names became... Meaningful. And hilarious.

Matteo has a huge entourage

now serving cuntitude

Queen of the Baltics

The second set of She Hulk vs. Kostyuk was great.
