flavio locking in and winning his first tour level title off the back of an eight match losing streak feels very in character

THE UMPIRE CALLED HIM CASPER

[imnotcasper]

medvedev is so art donaldson right now we need to get him playing tsitsipas in the final of a random 250 no one cares about to motivate him

[imnotcasper]

A serious AO25 men’s singles 1R review

João Fonseca, a child on a 13-match win streak, wins his first match against a Top 10 opponent in straight sets in his main draw major debut. In bigger news, Rublev smiled at the net and didn’t engage in self-sabotage (his one racquet throw was, in all honesty, understandable and frankly tame)

Jannik Sinner, whose 1R draw of unseeded Nicolas Jarry looks tough on paper, sweeps the match in 3 and says nice things like ‘it was tough in the first two sets,’ meaning we all heard him say ‘man, that third set was easy!’

Daniil Medvedev, friend of aforementioned Top 10 opponent, decides to try to one up his own record from last year of spending the most amount of time on court by getting into a five setter against an opponent who, and I quote, ‘surprised [Daniil] with how good he played… [because Daniil didn’t think] he was that good’

Tsitsipas flops his way out of one of his best tournaments, proving once again Paula Badosa is the one feeding that family. Get back to the kitchen, Stef!

Botic van de Zandschulp, upon realizing Alex de Miñaur is not retiring any time soon, decides not to go Killer Mode, laying the first stone in Alex’s never-ending quest to make an AO qf

Carlitos finds (yet another) fan in the gracious Alexander Shevchenko who repeatedly smiled at some of the more ludicrous shots off Alcaraz’s racquet

Novak drops the first set to another teenager, Nishesh Basavareddy, whose parents must surely be coming around to the idea of him dropping out of Stanford last month. Novak then remembers who he is and where he is, and wins the match after letting the kid show off a bit

Flavio Cobolli has time to regrow his hair in peace now, having lost to Tomás Martín Etcheverry. We all know he did this to avoid the certainty of losing to Jannik in the 3R

Tallon Griekspoor continues to suffer. This is a recurring story. Surely there is more pain in his future

Holger Rune for some reason decides to also get into a five-setter against Zhang Zhizhen, and makes the cat man earn his 1R paycheck

Francisco Cerúndolo, who had the bad luck of drawing unseeded Alexander Bublik, reminds everyone what a player who trains hard looks like and wins in straight sets. So. Who’s embarrassing themselves now?

Gael Monfils shows UP and shows OUT, defeating young compatriot Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in five sets, standing firmly w Novak in the camp of ‘fuck them kids!’

Stan Wawrinka, who is apparently nicer, loses to Lorenzo Sonego, but goddamn did he try! He took the second set 7-5 and lost the third and fourth 5-7.

Frances Tiafoe attempts to emulate post-puke Sinner by vomiting on court. Stay tuned to see if he’ll pull it off next round

Learner Tien sneaks into the second round in 5 sets. He plays Medvedev next which I guess is guaranteed to go to 5 also. The kids are coming up!

Arthur Cazaux, a slightly older child, tries to remind everyone how he was the shiny new thing at last year’s AO and knocks out poor old Sebastián Báez

I could stick around and get along with you (hello) - Stefaniil; crack, social media fic

Glimpses into one of UCLA’s most infamous feud through Rate my Professors.

Written for Advantage Tennisblr Promptfest 2024. Round 2.

Written for prompt: rate my professor au (shout out to anon who prompted this, ur a genius!!!)

Also I may or may not combined it with another prompt...which happens to be my own: Stefaniil - acadamia au, preferably when they’re both already professors. They worked at the same college and people thought they hated each other due to drama back when they first started working or some beef in the past. But they actually are married, students are trying to figure out if they hook up or not, chaos ensues!!!

My first ever fic written and published!! Sorry if it’s too short guys, I am simply code dumb😭

coco gauff is named the mvp of the 2025 united cup

Royal expectations weigh heavily on dutiful Prince Casper. During an ill-advised night at the tavern, meant to let off some steam and ease the pressure, he gets into a brawl with Holger, a sharp-tongued lad from town wielding insults (and his sword) with the precision of a trained knight. Holger beats him fair and square, and the Prince, furious, has him thrown into the dungeons. Holger pesters the guards relentlessly, forcing them to release him out of sheer irritation. In a bid to teach him discipline – and secretly impressed by his wit and skill – Prince Casper pardons Holger and makes him a knight at his court. The two of them begin adventuring together, and chaos quickly follows.
