Novak Djokovic on crowd being against him at Wimbledon:
“They’re doing me a favor. The more they cheer against me, the better for me. They wake something in me that they perhaps don’t want to see… a winner.” 😂
Statement made.
Punditry in English football is so so poor. Shearer just said Mason Mount must be thinking "What an opportunity... I get to run at a guy for whom United paid £50m"
Why would he be thinking about any players' transfer fee?
@Strzewa91
Difference is Iga takes the maximum wardrobe break each time she loses a set. On top of that, when her opponents are ready to serve, she is coming back from her towel or holding her racket up. She’s exceptional but her tactics are deliberate. If you don’t see it, you don’t wanna.
I just want Rafa to go out on his own terms and with dignity. Nothing else.
It's too selfish for Rafa's fans to ask anything more from him after last year.
Toni Nadal: "Many say that to win you need a good environment. Well allow me to question it. Look at what Djokovic has won when his environment is what it is. In any case, the Nadal family is normal and always has been."
Where was Nadal on Social Media congratulating his great rival Djokovic when he won Australian Open, French Open & US Open last year??!!
Yet Sinner wins today & immediately Nadal congratulates him, by coincidence or Nadal just being a hypocrite??!!
#Nadal
on his relationship with
#Federer
“We have been playing in every big stadium. Not in New York, that’s the only thing that bothers me. We push each other. Our relationship have always been very positive, friendly”
*People* thinking Rafa's legacy on clay gets damaged because of any potential losses is so funny to me.
10% of his lifetime losses on clay have come this year lol

📝 Mínimo: 2 finales
If Novak holds from 0-40 in the fourth vs 200 in the world in R1 you'll get the reaction of a normal elite player, unimpressed muttering. Someone make this make sense. Fucking weirdo.
This clay season just feels so weird and no, it's not just because there's no Rafa. I just don't think there's going to be a consistent performer.
2018-2020 Thiem would've been so good rn...such a huge miss for the tour.
This with the Alderweireld thing basically says United want to spend most money on a marquee signing. Basically not fixing the main problems just like the Sanchez signing didn’t.
Fed : Do you want him/her to stay that far back on returns?
Rafa : Yes
Fed : Even on second serves?
Rafa : Yes
Fed : What am I supposed to do here?
Rafa : Get sponsors.
As mentioned on

moments ago, the agreements for 25-year-old Argentina forward Paulo Dybala to join Tottenham are now very close

Wimbledon have always taken themselves way too seriously and have played a part into making people think it’s the pinnacle of tennis.
That Cow grazing obsolete surface deserves nothing but contempt.
Been watching players like Tsitsipas, AZ, and that gen for 5-6 years now and they have actually regressed as tennis players.
Domi's fate makes me so sad though. He would've been a top 2 contender at all 3 other slams.
The beautiful boy once derided as a “caveman with a cudgel” gets the last laugh again.
Sleeveless is just one of Rafa’s trademarks that used to be hated & has become emulated.
His clothes, water bottle habits, return position, etc. were all ridiculed—now they’re the blueprint.
just amazing😁 which match was it? Who knows?
Boris was so impressed and afraid 😂 "I tell you what, if there's one player.... but this guy I would be careful" 😅 yes, never provoke him or the Matador sees red 😡😆
