Just a guy who loves to play all sorts of games, read, write, draw, play sports, watch sports, listen to music, and watch court case videos on YouTube.
@RazOlsRF Only one tournament in the 2006 season where he didn’t make it to the final: Cincinnati Masters, falling in the second round to 19 year old Andy Murray, snapping his 55 match win streak on hard courts.
@courzier@nadalprop_ Here you go: First US Open Final was against prime Federer in 2007, second against prime Nadal in 2010, third loss was against Murray in 2012, lost to Nadal again in 2013, lost to prime Wawrinka in 2016, then lost against the red hot Medvedev in 2021.
AL East (division wins) since 2013
(4) Red Sox - 2 chips
(*3) Rays - 1 pennant
(3) Yankees - 1 pennant
(2) Blue Jays - 1 pennant
(2) Orioles
Thank you Hal for turning the Yankees into an average organization... and anyone who thinks Brian Cashman is a great GM is dumb...
🍔 KYRGIOS’ 2019 ACAPULCO RUN: FAST FOOD, PARTYING, AND 3 TOP-10 WINS
In 2019, Nick Kyrgios won the ATP 500 title in Acapulco in what might be the most unprofessional championship run in modern tennis history.
During the tournament week, Kyrgios:
• Didn’t practice on off-days, opting to jet-ski and party in Mexico instead
• Ate fast food before major matches
• Turned up to his match against Rafael Nadal complaining of food poisoning and a hangover 🇲🇽
He proceeded to save three match points to beat Nadal, went on to destroy Stan Wawrinka and Alexander Zverev, and lifted the trophy at the end of the week without having hit a single practice ball off the court all week. 🏆⚡
@thefedexpresss The late 2000s to the entire 2010s is definitely the greatest era in the men’s tennis history, but I do understand if people want to make arguments for the 1960s or the 1980s.
I can’t believe Roger Federer is 45 years of age. Where does the time go?
Getting to watch his entire career, from match 1 to match 1526, is something I never have and never will take for granted.
No one has ever played the sport the way he did. We will never see anyone like him again.
For those who never got to live through his career and are only new to tennis… I feel for you. It’s hard to put into words what it was like watching Federer on a tennis court. Pure magic, pure artistry, shotmaking that you’ll never see from anyone else.
But it’s not only the way he played the sport, which by itself is absolute perfection and beautiful. it was the way he handled himself on court, hitting an outrageous shot and he would often not even react, everything he ever did on a tennis court will never be replicated
I remember being a little kid, and whenever a Slam, Masters, or even a smaller tournament he was in was about to start, I’d go outside with my racket and hit against the wall. Pretending I was Federer. Trying to serve like him, slice like him, hit all those impossible shots he often did.
He had such a deep impact on me and on millions of others, and i am genuinely sad these days knowing I’ll never get that feeling back. But I’m so grateful I got to live through it all.
Happy birthday to the GOAT.
The greatest player to ever step onto a tennis court.
The greatest athlete in the history of sports.
🐐 🇨🇭
