Sports, mostly tennis.

@ObsidianTotalus @TunedIntoTennis "Sinner is still Sinner" yeah that's the point. Zverev will probably never beat Sinner again. He hasn't been close. He has to pray that an act of God takes out both Alcaraz and Sinner, and that will very rarely happen.

[Cory Le Guen @coryleguen]

Petit rappel si Alexander Zverev parvient à gagner aujourd’hui, il comptabilisera toujours plus d’accusations pour violences conjugales que de « grands chelems ».

[Remeli 🎾 @RemeliTennis]

Zverev va sûrement gagner son 1er GC et ça pose un problème. Pas du tout pour son niveau de jeu, mais parce qu'il ne devrait pas être sur un court de tennis

Il faut profiter du fait qu'il aura une immense médiatisation ajd pour rappeler qu'il a été accusé de violences conjugales par DEUX de ses ex compagnes.

(Je me permets de rappeler l'histoire pour celles et ceux qui en n'ont pas forcément connaissance)

Sa première ex n'a pas voulu porter plainte mais a témoigné des violences qu'elle a subies pendant leur relation. Certains médias ont repartagé son histoire mais ont fait face à des procédures baillons de la part des avocats de Zverev. C'est à dire des poursuites pour diffamation dès qu'ils décidaient de partager ces accusations (afin de les emmener dans des procédures juridiques coûteuses et donc de les dissuader d'en parler).

Sa 2e ex compagne et mère de son enfant a témoigné d'EXACTEMENT les mêmes faits et a décidé de porter plainte contre Zverev.

Les charges étaient suffisamment solides pour qu'il écope d'une amende de 450 000€ fin 2023.

Le procès a été interrompu par un accord à l'amiable entre les deux personnes. Mais il ne faut pas être dupe, ces accords sont souvent acceptés pour mettre fin à la pression financière, médiatique et l'harcelement que subissent les victimes.

Les deux ex de Zverev ont bien sûr été une deuxième fois victimes dans cette affaire en témoignant contre lui. Accusées d'être des menteuses, de faire ça pour l'argent etc.

Pour toutes ces raisons ça dégoute de voir ce joueur une nouvelle fois au sommet du tennis mondial (et voir certains journalistes/consultants être super complaisants vis à vis de lui mdr).

Mais bon c'est ça d'être un homme, riche et puissant 👍

@Joracle_ This is why I never bought the hype. You get a couple exciting middle rounds in exchange for absolute ass in the semis and finals. We need Carlos and Jannik.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@deucegoddess I can't believe anyone thinks that's a relevant stat after last year's RG final. Came back from 5-3 against Alcaraz to force a TB over 5 hours in. Clearly he can play well in long matches, it's never just length.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@mariahcandylamb Yep. But because he is, it's starting to look pretty bleak.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@Hubdidu @AnnaK_4ever We know why. It’s because of the indoor hardcourt swing. The shock would be him showing a similar level on outdoor clay.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@TunedIntoTennis Lol well Germany has about 75x the population of Montana. Richest and most populous country in Europe

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@Bitc0inBuLL @BarclayCard18 Nah it's not "convenient," it was intentionally negotiated that way. Sinner wouldn't have accepted a ban that forced him to miss a slam, and WADA wasn't confident enough to force the appeal, so they made a deal.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@alter_writing @Olly_Tennis_ I thought so too but the real answer is simpler: he took a pic of the wrong mark. The ball clearly lands closer (arguably in) on replay.

[Jess 🍵 @jessica4stein]

Yep, never trust these players when it comes to line calling, double bounces, touching etc. They were taught to lie and cheat since juniors.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@Kevin_Allen98 @jessica4stein This video? Yeah, looks in. And def isn’t the mark he posted.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@CameronFawcett @Zwxsh Agree, but they’re disguised AS drop shots, and that what makes them so effective.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

Like, he’s lost 4 straight to Fritz, hasn’t beaten post-puke Sinner, almost lost a set to a one-legged Djokovic. He’s consistent, but he doesn't (or can’t) attack when it counts.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

Why is everyone saying Zverev is on the verge of winning a slam? He got to the final through a Tommy Paul choke and a Djokovic retirement, then he lost in straights to Sinner without creating a single break point. He’s just not good enough to beat the best.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@tennisywilliams @juanignacio_ac These are ranked based on betting odds. The bookmakers were way too high on Fonseca after R1.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@BastienFachan @christianscourt This is just a bigger advantage for top seeds. Lower seeds get tougher draws and are more likely to have to play 5. Top seeds get easier draws. When two players meet, we want the best player to win, not the less fatigued player who had an easier path.

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@BenRothenberg Shelton probably favored, but if Gael can keep playing like he did tonight, he’ll make the semis.

(I’m guessing his body won’t let him do that, but who knows.)

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@asud683385 Insane how you can be a huge name in tennis media and consistently make such laughably bad predictions

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@ausportstrends Wow, what makes you so confident in Palace over an in-form Chelsea?

[Andre 3000 @jac_aran_da]

@Betting526 Love this pick, partly *because* the money is all over the Nets.
