#tennis asks

[bluespring864]

murray fan. that explains everything. stanning that snooze fest pusher fraud must be very difficult. i would dismiss rog and carlitos struggles too. i hope you can start appreciating real tennis soon and see past your fanaticism. i will be blocking you now. bye

oh you are very amusing. You said goodbye once before but you came back. So just in case you haven't blocked me yet, enjoy a few pics of my fave <3

(just for you i included one of him hugging Roger bc you said you were a Rog fan! Roger doesn't share your opinion on Andy btw. He called him a "special man" last year and said he was a big fan of his :))

Thank you!🫶🫶

2. how did you come to choose your favourite player(s)?

Mostly cause of their off court personalities and stuff like that. I always chose my faves for everything based of their personalities

8. favourite on-court moment this year?

Grigors above the head jump thing in Paris was truly iconic

10. do you have a favourite tennis fan(dom) moment from this year?

After Italy won the Davis cup was so fun on here

Why do I not see people talking about how angry Patrick got when Tashi asked him to throw the game??? How insulted he was on behalf of Art, that Tashi no longer believed in his own ability to beat him??? How he saw nothing wrong with her fucking him but that he drew the line at cheating Art out of a fair win?? What about the difference in how he reacted when Art asked the same from him vs when Tashi asked ????

so i have a question, if you are stuck between two ROs, will that affect anything in the story? would they notice that or not?

Yes, they will definitely notice!!

Some brief spoilery notes about how I think the routes/thoughts running through each RO's mind if there are multiple ROs involved:

Tobin / Rayyan are an especially tense pair if you end up serious about the two of them, because tbe stakes are similar (tennis team etc.) and Tobin is less likely to stand down ("if you're gonna risk things going to shit, you can risk it with me") but on the other hand Rayyan and Tobin actually know each other and respect/like each other, so there's that. Rayyan wouldnt back down from anyone, but with Tobin... they might be just a tad gentler /more conflicted about it.

Tobin or Rayyan competing with anyone else... Tobin might think maybe MC would be better off with someone who gives them a life outside of tennis. Rayyan would only fight harder, asking if they'd truly get it.

As for Sam ... I think they'd initially back off because these other ROs are THERE with MC- G i suspect theyre most comfortable with. In their mind maybe G could just be a fling. And at the end of the day, maybe even at the end of college, theyre hoping theyll find their way back to MC somehow.

As for G... I think they'll first think, "all's fair in love and war" and go all out to win, because they can, but then as they realise they actually do like MC, do really care about them, they'll start to think maybe MC's better off with someone who won't break their heart after a year. Then they'll realise that even thinking that means they're already in too deep, and that sends them into a bit of a... "oh no what have done" moment, as they come to terms with just how difficult it'll be to go leave MC after a years up. And then, upon realising the depth of their feelings and how little time they have, they'll go for it.

hello! I HAVE FOUND YOU!!!

Farewell message to my dignity

After years of vaguely talking about the 'tennis' and 'singaporean' game I am writing,

My girlfriend has finally found my IFs / tumblr.

She has threatened to expose the link to my younger brother.

I fear I shall never live this down.

I love your style so so much! Your art is gorgeous. If you have the time and inclination, I would love to see you draw Ryker Evans, he’s so so special to meee

ONE GARTH COMING RIGHT UP

Did you just describe novak as a late bloomer? 💀

Him and Roger, yes. Purely tennis-wise of course. As you can see from those stats on which i made the comment they weren't exactly teenage sensations, in direct comparison to Carlos and Rafa (Or rather to be exact they were expected to do well at a young age and did show a lot of promise and then it took a while for their careers to actually take off as crazily as they did. In Novak's case this was very much related to his health issues and coming onto the tour at a moment when there was absolutely crazy competition as well. I don't know as much about Roger's early career but I've seen some old match clips where commentators speculated whether he would live up to his talent because he wasn't winning stuff as quickly as expected.) I certainly don't claim to be an expert, this is just how their careers look to me at a glance :-)

Favourite commentator? Bro idk I watch the matches that aren’t on espn on this german streaming site with german commentators 😭😭😭😭😭

If you could choose any four players, retired or not, to play a doubles match together, who would you choose? naomi iga jannik and shapo mixed doubles purely because I like them

Who is the most underrated player? he’s playing like dogshit rn but jack draper. The players I like are rated fairly tbh

[sinnerruud]

6,8,24 and thank you for making this 💕💕

heyy!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

6. best masters 1000: i think overall indian wells has the best vibe, its just so pretty and the first masters of the year, the environment and courts are beautiful!! (my only wish is that it should’ve been actually in india 💔)

7. prettiest trophy?

i love the australian open men’s trophy, Norman Brooks trophy, its just so elegant and the engravings and details are so pretty! also if we’re counting separate for men and women then the Wimbledon’s venus rosewater dish is iconic and prettiest ✨

24. best outfit?

honestly i need time to think on this (and yes i didn’t even decide on it when i made the questions skjdks) but these are the onew that came to my mind first:

such a winning kit. the black. the purple. it suits him so well <3

look at that man. no words. just ICONIC.

finally, serena’s last USO kit is just so gorgeous!!

thank you @jcferrero !! have a great day <3

Heey! 2, 9 and 5 please? 🩶🩶

Hiii

Already answered 2

5. are you superstitious when it comes to tennis?

Kind of but it’s not consistent at all. Like sometimes if I accidentally say something then I’ll knock on would but other times I won’t to cause it’ll jinx it or whatever. It’s just really random

9. favourite off-court moment this year?

Andrey at the finals this year🫶 Him in the interview and with daniils daughter and the press conference thing was just so fun
