sometimes when your sports guys are doing badly, you will get struck with the idea that if you just got into a different, better sport !!! it will dilute the feelings you currently have. all of your problems will be solved. please remember that is the DEVIL SPEAKING. you will now have DOUBLE THE CHANCES of being miserable. and baby the chances? were already 100%

further thoughts on sincaraz winner's room:

bff: ok but i want the version where after umag '22 carlitos was practically vibrating out of his skin with anticipation because it's finally happening, they're going to make love fall in love and live happily ever after bang or whatever uh yeah that's cool it's chill and then he discovers that jannik doesn't believe in this sports tradition and is very politely but firmly like I Will Not Force You Into Anything Like This, Carlos, I Have Too Much Respect For You ...so i guess the answer is carlos just has to win every single final they ever play from now until forever so HE gets to control the outcome!

alacants: kajgkgkjl;fdgkldgfkl;fdgkl;gfgf scream oh my god that. does explain so much about roland garros. also lfjdkafjdfjdlk hahahaha no WONDER he was pissed about ao

bff: i'm laughing to myself thinking about this and beijing last year actually

alacants: UH HUH jesus yeah like

bff: SUDDENLY, HONEYMOON BECAUSE THEY BANGED

alacants: beijing → the week of—YEAH EXACTLY

bff: CARLOS WAITED TWO YEARS FOR THIS

alacants: wow are we sure this isn't actually happening

bff: i mean honestly i think this is just truth there's also something there about... there's no winners room for non-finals matches obviously but carlos does just turn up at jannik's door after their matches anyway "that was basically the final!" is not an excuse that flies when you're saying it because u want to bang ur rival, carlos

alacants: "i have a rival and i'm not afraid to say it" vs "this is the best rivalry in tennis"

bff: the most damning part will be the one time jannik actually gives in

alacants: wow... UH, YEAH, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING JANNIK

bff: this also explain novandy ok we're not going there

alacants: NO I KNOW like every single novandy fic from a certain era is just this idea writ large but there is something here about novak loses miami final → two uninspired first round losses → novandy split → novak wins geneva i can't quite put my finger on it but. it's there.

No actually literally sincaraz five times they met in the winners room (youthful fumblings -> tense mind games/power plays) plus one time they didn’t (post-retirement exho where there’s technically not even a winners room but they hook up afterwards “for old times sake” and without the pressure of rivalry and titles and rankings, everything is Different)

I am at heart only interested in angst if there’s an eventual happy ending so I know this won’t appeal to everyone but it did just hit me as the most perfect set up when I reblogged those last two posts from you 😭

no you are RIGHT and this IS the perfect set-up. 5+1 concept a genius addition from flap. and i am with you on the timeline here (both wrt this ask and your other tags), i also think that time will ultimately be on their side. because i am an optimist, and because carlitos is learning from the examples before him and jesus christ does he have whatever the opposite of a murderer's row is rn.

one time they didn't for "for old time's sake"... carlos i expect this from you but jannik sinner that is so damning. hang on this is very similar to some additional sincaraz winner's room thoughts which i am gonna post separately for space reasons. and tangent reasons.
