@madnessphobia @TheTennisLetter She earned her money. Why should she do what the Slams should be doing instead?

@TheTennisLetter she could donate the money from her battle of sex to the people who need it

Aryna Sabalenka says she has a responsibility as the world No. 1 to stand up for lower ranked players & to fight for a fair percentage for everyone, ‘It’s not easy to live in this tennis world with that percentage that we are earning’ “Guys, I feel like the whole point here, it’s not about me. It’s about the players who are lower in the rankings, who are suffering. It’s not easy to live in this tennis world with that percentage that we are earning. But as the world No. 1, I feel like I have to stand up and fight for those players. For lower level players, for players who are coming back after injuries, the upcoming generation. I feel like our point is pretty clear and pretty fair to everyone. That’s what we’re all about.” On the boycott: “I stand with my words. We just wanted to do it in a respectful way at the beginning. You guys know how much we respect you and appreciate you. It’s not your decision and it’s not about you. Just, we’re trying to fight for fair percentage.” (via Roland Garros Press)

@RBRHub Yeah, then F1 kills all of his racing joy yet again 🙁

Laurent Mekies on Max Verstappen’s participation in the 24H Nürburgring "We had a deal that he would hide the onboard footage from all of us if he was taking too much risk, so we could all relax a bit more. "He was spectacular. He narrowly missed out on the win, but his speed was incredible. "He came back with a big smile and full of motivation for this Grand Prix, and that’s what matters. "We support Max in what he’s trying to do there. As I said, he came back with a big smile. And that was really the case. "He already had a big smile the week before, because he knew he was going to do a different form of racing. It’s great that he’s so in love with this sport and every aspect of it. "Of course we were a bit relieved when the race was over and we knew he would get back on the plane to join us. It’s very positive for the motorsport world and for the team anyway." [f1maximaal.nl/formule-1/meki…]

@SCUDERIAFEMBOY When will they start to learn to rely on Max's input?

''isack had a good feeling in the car, was there a difference in set up?'' max: ''i tried something with the car, the team wanted that. i told them ''go ahead, but that's clearly not the right direction.'' i already could've guessed that but atleast we now know for sure.'' ''you said the team wanted it, did you agree to it because you didn't know what way to go either?'' max: ''no, i tried it a lot of times and it never works but they're convinced it does. but it's clear it doesn't.''

@eeajjo So proud of our Fox Boy. What a triumph. And fab recap as always! 💕

Jannik Sinner Rome GF Recap: Yeah, sex is good, but have you ever watched Darth Sinner become the Master of the Masters, and celebrate by tearing all the pages out of the tennis records book? For the twelfth consecutive day, tournament organisers had to be asked to stop cutting onions at the exact moment that the players and their angel baby mascots walked onto the court. 🥹 There were a number of records up for grabs this match, and Fox Boy thought he might even invent a few new ones of his own. He spent his first two service games striving to become the only player to win a M1000 title without landing a single first serve. ✌️ However, the immediate break suggested he might need to put that particular record on ice… Casper the Friendly Norwegian suffered a brutal thrashing in the 2025 Rome QF, which inspired him to set up the “Surviving Jannik Sinner” support group for victims who had suffered similar ginger carbohydrates trauma on tour. In the final, he bravely faced his tormentor again and went up 2-0, because it is important not to show fear to bullies. Unfortunately, his bully is a different breed of chilling malevolence, so he just smiled and nodded, and broke Casper straight back. Little Miss Variety saw the Italian President sitting courtside, and simply giggled nervously for eight games. Then, she remembered Servebotnnik was taking Rome off, and so finally tossed her hair, batted her eyelashes, and sashayed onto court to save the day. With a wink at the VIP box, she dished up three drop shot winners to break serve, and then closed the set out 6-4. Pre-match, the Louvre had agreed to loan out their popular artwork, “Sinnerball Backhand Down The Line”. Spectators in Campo Centrale finally got an up close and personal look at this masterpiece, on the first break point of the second set. Early reviews reported it was “some of the artist’s best work” and “the perfect blend of dirt and snow merging on the canvas”. After a tight second set with just one break, the ginger sat down at the 5-4 changeover, to prepare to serve for the championship. It was a high-pressure moment with the weight of a nation’s hopes and dreams on his shoulders, so he took a deep breath, exhaled……. and then bopped and sang along with the stadium DJ’s mix. 😂 🎵 Meanwhile, Mama Siglinde wanted to set her own record for the day, and so decided she would be the first person to see their youngest son make tennis history, through three solid layers of skin. 🫣 Four points later, and a bonus two second delay when the entire Italian viewership thought the final ball had actually landed out, Fox Boy raised his arms in triumph. Trophy won? ✅ All 9 Masters conquered? ✅ Italian hopes and dreams fulfilled? ✅ An entire match played without a single mangled Djokosmash? … ❌ In his speech, Casper continued to strengthen the argument for tournaments awarding two trophies if both final players score higher than a 9.5 on the “Nicest Person Ever” scale. After a standing ovation from the crowd, he congratulated Fox Boy, politely roasted the Italian football team, then sweetly thanked his fiancée and his newborn baby daughter for being his good luck charm - and, sorry, Casper, just give me a moment to profoundly regret not snapping you up first… 🫠 Now, it’s difficult to write this r̶o̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶ recap, without genuine admiration for the endless list of achievements gushing from the ginger’s racquet strings. To complete an entire level of tennis at just 24 is phenomenal, but to do it a full primary schooler’s lifespan sooner than the only other person, is generational. So, congrats, Jannik - you really are rewriting the terms and conditions of greatness in the tennis manual every week. 💪 Finally, on a totally unrelated note, before you fly to your next destination of potential tennis glory, just doublechecking that Brother Mark has DEFINITELY had his fortnight of Parisian holiday leave approved? .… Why? Oh, no reason….. ☘️💁🏻‍♀️ FORZA. 🦊🧡

@TennisDummies Well said. I'm a fan of both and I don't understand why fans can be so toxic. If you love the sport, you should appreciate what all players bring to the game.

@paulitiando46 @F1 Not to mention much much more affordable tickets!

@F1 Mmmmmm, let me see.... No WAGS No Celebrities No runway no tyres saving no battery no artificial overtakes

Heritage, relentless, triumph and legacy... Just some of the words that define Formula 1... ✍️ #F1

@Max33Verstappen Had a lot of fun watching the race. Your day will come Max! Fantastic stints 💪🏼💪🏼

Very unfortunate and frustrating ending, but these things can happen. I still really enjoyed the experience together with Jules, Luggi and Dani. Thanks to the team and everyone around the track for your support.

@eeajjo May we never see Breathless Betty again 🙏🏼

Jannik Sinner Rome SF Recap: This was Fox Boy’s first night match of the week, and his annoyance with the delay in reuniting with his bed and 26 hours of sleep, was evident from the first ball. Darth Sinner said, “Thanks, but no thanks” to Paolo’s plea for a late night crowd-pleasing epic, and broke the very first return game… and, then the second return game. 🤭 In just 33 mins, he had the first set done and dusted at 6-2 (NOT superstition, just coincidence 😉), and had lost TWO whole points on serve. With that embarrassing number, the ATP statisticIans could only award him a 9.7 for his performance #washed Unfortunately, Darth Sinner had a Friday night housewarming to get to, and so handed the match reins over to his offsider, Breathless Betty, at the end of the first set. She got broken immediately, when Meddy remembered that he once beat this dude 6 times in a row by simply making him sprint a marathon every ball, and then giving him eight hundredths of a second recovery between points. ✌️ Breathless Betty was too busy trying to remember what oxygen was, to even give the dads a spray about their 0.3 millisecond delays to stand and cheer. Vagno and Papa Darren applauded supportively, and simultaneously used their feet to push the spare inhaler further down in the kit bag, because, hey, a little teenage silence can be golden every now and again… This 2026 Meddy version reincarnated from the first hour of the 2024 AO final, continued to call and say, “Heyyyy, remember me? 👋” throughout the second set, and eventually won it 7-5. Poor Mama Siglinde’s tolerance for clay tennis adversity expired in the fourth set of RG 2025, so she exited Campo Centrale to poke her eye out with a stick, or individually extract her fingernails, or something just as enjoyable as staying and watching the match. Thankfully, Darth Sinner had been following the score in between sips of spiked punch, and he raced back to the Foro Italico for the third set. He broke early, and let out a roar which scientists have reportedly already begun trialling as a universal cure for depression. ❤️‍🩹💪 The ginger took a medical timeout for definitely-not-cramp-but-maybe-a-little-cramp, and Meddy happily said, “I actually think this should happen MORE often, so take as long as you need”. Meanwhile, the Roman weather gods looked at the latest pause in an otherwise uneventful match, and chose to inject themselves into the storyline to liven things up. As the rain fell at 4-2, Jannik looked at his break point, and decided that a little moisture never hurt anyone. When his break point disappeared, he remembered that sky water is actually toxic to humans, and they should vacate the court yesterday. Whilst Aurelie Tourte initially disputed this, Jannik simply muttered “Tsitsipas second serve”, and she immediately agreed the match leftovers would even better served cold the next day. After scrolling Tennis Twitter, ATP officials are considering regulations on players influencing the weather, as ̶N̶o̶l̶e̶f̶a̶m̶ ̶ impartial tennis fans rightly expressed their concern that Jannik Sinner had again received preferential treatment from the sky. Eighteen hours later, the two men were back on court. With Darth Sinner luckily having no other prior social engagements, he was able to close out the match 6-4, in ̶2̶8̶0̶0̶0̶ ̶h̶o̶u̶r̶s̶ ̶ 2 hours, 37 mins. 💪 Papa Hanspeter was immediately spotted texting, presumably advising Mama Siglinde that she could cut short her attempts to walk the length of the Tiber. Despite an epic battle, the fans, the media, and even the players, agreed the match MVP was Sofia, the sweet angel who accompanied the carrot onto court with a hop, skip, and a jump. 😍 Sorry, boys, but we’ve seen you hit a ball a thousand times, and we’ve only seen a sassy photo pose that cute once… Finally, Fox Boy, that was one of the gutsiest and grittiest performances I’ve seen. Bravo…. and, also, let’s never do it again, ta. 😉👌 FORZA. 🦊🧡

@eeajjo Don't know who the other writer is.. have only ever come across your recaps. Love them and I look forward to reading them after every Sinnerball match. Please keep em coming!

This is a strange post for me to write, and I’ve been going back and forth on the merits of doing so. However, there has been a false narrative quietly circulating in my comments today. And, whilst I usually avoid TT controversy and conflict like I’m Fox Boy when it comes time to pop a champagne bottle, given the personal nature on this occasion, I felt obliged to respond. A year ago, Jannik played his first match back in Rome. At the time, I was relatively new to Tennis Twitter. I tweeted a small joke paragraph about the match, which (shockingly) extended out beyond my 1.5 followers. One lovely individual (who to this day is still one of the most devout followers of my recaps 🩷) messaged me to request I post a similar blurb every match, because she would read “1000 words of this every day”. Whilst I laughed it off at the time, the lure of a new challenge had lodged in my brain, and I eventually dipped my toe in the ginger recap water at RG. Almost immediately, I became aware (through people tagging her) that there was another extremely talented individual who also wrote recaps of carrot matches, and had already been doing so for years. Delighted, I immediately followed her, because I found her writing to be hilarious, but also because, what were the odds?! Luckily, it quickly became apparent to me that, short of using the same descriptor in the headline, and featuring the same ginger heroine triumphing in all of the stories, there was no overlap in our work, and therefore no toes to be accidentally stepped on. And, until today, I was unaware that she, or anyone else, apparently did not share that perspective. I have now learned there is a perception that I directly plagiarised or piggybacked onto another person’s idea and work, and I will only vehemently deny this. In fact, whilst this was my first foray into tennis-specific summaries, I have actually been writing recaps on various topics for many years (and calling them exactly that). And whilst my MAFS (an Aussie reality TV classic) recaps were the most popular, my family and friends’ particular favourites were the “All The Ways I Avoided Death Today” recaps they received daily as I travelled around the world. 😂🤭SO, when I first used the word “recap” in the context of my Fox Boy posts, it was out of habit, and absolutely NOT imitation. I harbour no ill will towards anyone, nor have any desire to create a mountain out of a molehill. However, I also put a lot of time and effort (and lose a LOT of sleep) into ensuring every recap post’s content is unique (even when the ginger AI bot just hits CTRL-C, CTRL-V in some of his matches, and makes creativity difficult for me 😉). I also take pride in every single word I post being 100% my own. Therefore, receiving messages today which have accused me of “shamelessly copying” another person’s own creativity has been incredibly insulting and frustrating (regardless of how talent she is), and I am loath to allow that categorically false idea to fester and grow any further. I certainly do not profess to be anywhere near the accomplishment or skill of the other recap artist (if I can make someone snort-laugh, that’s the peak in my book), and am absolutely a fan of her writing myself. But I have never modeled or stolen my ideas and content from her (or any other writer), now or ever, and hopefully this will put that extremely disappointing notion to bed for her and anyone else. Anyway, I upload “serious” posts at the same frequency that Fox Boy dons non-Nike footwear, so I’ll leave it there. Back to roasting some carrots tomorrow… 🧡😊

@eeajjo So proud of our Fox Boy 🥺

I’ve been sitting here genuinely speechless since the final ball was struck. Partly because it’s 3am, but mostly because what Jannik Sinner has just accomplished is beyond what words can easily describe. There was a great injustice bestowed upon him 12 months ago, and he has continued to be nothing but gracious about the hand he was dealt. Instead, he has allowed his racquet to do all of the talking. And, in the most fitting finale to the most unassuming of revenge tours, he has just ended his final show with the most complete male performance on a tennis court since player ratings were first recorded. And he did it in a final. Of a Masters 1000. Against the #3 player in the world who had already won the tournament twice. And whilst he had the weight of making potential tennis history bearing down on his shoulders. Like I said, Fox Boy, I’m speechless. So, congratulations, mate. For being the tennis player you are, and the champion you always have been on and off the court. Enjoy this one. 🦊🧡💪

@SCUDERIAFEMBOY I'll believe it when I see it.

mekies about the RB22: “we haven't solved everything, but there is no doubt that progress has been made into giving something more consistent to our drivers. how does that make you fit in the classification? It's impossible to know. but in terms of us alone on the track, in terms of giving a more consistent product to our drivers, i’m confident we've made some progress.” [the race]

@eeajjo Istg we all have the same brain. When his opponents start cheering too much, we go ''uh oh..you've done it now..you've gone and poked the bear" 😅 Will never forget his rant against Duckworth 😂

Jannik Sinner Madrid R4 Recap: With Fox Boy’s first 11am match slot since he was merely a twinkle in his parents’ eyes, Papa Darren and Vagno were forced to employ the fog horn alarm to wake him in time. Pre-match, the ginger was reportedly spotted in a back alleyway having a “heated discussion” with one of the tournament’s IT staff. AND, in completely unrelated news, the electronic coin toss technology was “coincidentally” broken for his match. Enter the umpire “coincidentally” immediately producing an old fashioned metal coin from his pocket, which was “coincidentally” then thrown on his side of the net, and “coincidentally” then picked up by a little fox paw. I swear, the truth WILL come out one day… Cam Norrie had clearly downed a triple-shot espresso for breakfast, and kicked off the match with a 1-minute service hold, and four unreturned first serves. Fox Boy ̶s̶m̶i̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶n̶o̶d̶d̶e̶d̶ ̶ yawned and rubbed his eyes…. and then snatched the next five games in a row. 😂🥱 Yes, the ginger didn’t seem his usual vibrant and animated self this match, and there was heated Tennis Twitter debate over whether it was because the left leg was broken, the right leg was broken, the virus had finally infiltrated the ATP tour’s lowest immune system, the usual 47 hours of sleep had been disrupted, or just annoyance that the 11am time slot STILL didn’t provide a cement court under his feet. Surprisingly, the Camnik match-up only became Facebook official for the first time today. However, his lack of prior exposure to Sinnerball quickly became apparent when Norrie fist-pumped and “Allez!”ed loudly after the carrot hit a drop shot into the net. Uh oh, the ginger bear had officially been poked. Jannik’s face immediately morphed from 😐 to 🫤 to emphasise his extreme displeasure, and he blasted his way through the next five points to close out the set 6-2. Cam is apparently not a fast learner, because he then attempted an underarm serve at 40-40 halfway through the second set. Fox Boy barely contained his derisive laughter, and snatched the next two points to break. He turned and pointed straight at the team, who immediately jumped up and gushed tears and shouts of adulation, before launching into their pre-choreographed “Simply the Best” dance routine. Unfortunately, the ginger continued to fuel rumours he allows himself to get broken just to feel something, when he inexplicably lost his serve to 0 the very next game. There is also a strong possibility that he does it for the chillingly malevolent satisfaction of letting his opponents get themselves hyped up, only for him to come back and crush their dreams again with another break. Undoubtedly because of Norrie’s annoying shouts, he saved his retribution this match until 5-5, to really make it sting… 🤭 After 1 hour and 26 minutes of ranting at the dirt for daring to move under his feet, Fox Boy closed out the match 7-5. Unfortunately, this was just his 20th consecutive win, because his main opponent on tour continues to be his own mediocrity. Post-match, he confirmed that his desire to play tennis matches after 6pm is almost on par with his desire to extend his daily press conferences by another 10 questions. Finally, next up we have another round of babysitting. Hopefully, Fox Boy can get the little one off to sleep quickly and close the bedroom door, before his parents’ noisy dinner party with 12000 of their closest friends outside, wakes him up. 🤫🤞 FORZA. 🦊🧡

@eeajjo We've all been online too much 😭🤣

@Xian14 Hahah I actually had written “this match could have been an email” in my original notes! 😂 Thank you so much! 🙏

Jannik Sinner Madrid R3 Recap: This year’s tournament has a very Shanghai ‘25 vibe to it - only, instead of players being defeated by 9000% humidity, they’re being defeated by risky buffet choices. However, given the not-zero chance Madrid’s bathrooms are actually under siege from a contagious virus and not severe shellfish regret, no one was more surprised than carrot fans to see their Victorian child stroll onto centre court today, apparently unscathed. This match featured another first-time opponent in Elmer Møller. He has a backhand even more powerful than Fox Boy’s, and his rosy cheeks suggested he may also have the ginger beaten in the “inability to cope with heat” department as well. If you were unable to watch this match, I recommend picturing your dog’s reaction when it realises the exciting car adventure has actually ended at the vet’s front door, and then you will also be able to visualise Fox Boy’s enthusiasm level today. He was captured playing baseball in his warm-up, and his face for much of the match suggested he was severely regretting not choosing that as his primary sport 12 years ago. It was Servebotnnik who drew the short straw to play this match, and grudgingly fished up a 9.0 quality and 71% first serve. However, Returnbotnnik graciously agreed to a few cameos to get proceedings over and done with quickly, so everyone could get back to the real job of practicing their golf swings in the hotel room. 🏌️🏌️ Pleasingly, the pollen count was down on centre court, and so the ginger actually managed to hold in his sneezes 4/9 times. Møller had also helpfully read the establishment’s “How to Let The Golden Boy Win Everything” handbook, and so creatively dropped his racquet on set point to allow Fox Boy to close it out. R2-D2 continues to take every opportunity to try and dispel the lingering robot rumours. He reprogrammed his settings to incorporate a “rhythmic head nodding” function, and then cleverly activated this at the exact moment when a regular person’s noggin would also inevitably start bobbing - the opening chords to “Seven Nation Army”. 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ Successful daily impersonation of a real human being - CHECK ✅ The second set looked much the same as the first. Jannik set up a direct phone line to Møller’s significantly weaker forehand, and then peppered it with spam call grenades every 5 seconds. He even briefly forgot which Scandinavian he was playing against, and forced him into two consecutive double faults as payback for his other Danish love/hate situationship abandoning him on tour this season. To no one’s surprise, Fox Boy brought up the first match point. To everyone’s surprise, he closed it out first go. 🤭 Some fans reportedly googled “Is time different in Spain?” when they saw the match clock registering the win in 1 hour 17 minutes, because they could’ve sworn they’d been watching it for 256 hours... The highlight of the day came in the post-match interview when Jannik “let’s see what’s coming”ed his usual way to the final question. THEN, just one single misheard word later, and you had: - 2 mins of chaotic comedy genius - Voiceovers of Meddy’s infamous “This is going to be on Tennis TV, bro!” ringing out around the world - Papa Darren’s quickly scribbling down his next roast question, “How many times have you panicked and stammered that you don’t need a dating app, on a live broadcast?” for the second “Unfiltered” vlog - One satisfied girlfriend who will allow him to still sleep in the bed, and not the dog kennel, when he gets home - The Bumble & Babbel marketing teams immediately reallocating their funds because their advertising campaigns have just been sorted for the next decade #SINNEMA Finally, next we have another untested opponent who is also one of three players to beat Sincaraz at a M1000 in the last year #dreamscenario. So, rest up, Jan, pretend you’re actually just playing on a slab of brown concrete, and maybe stick to bread and water for dinner…. FORZA. 🦊🧡

sunshine double (funny version) 🎀🤖💀🥇💗

@eeajjo Him vibing to Seven Nation Army had me wondering what was happening with our favorite robot.

Jannik Sinner’s Match Stats: Overall performance = 8.7/10 Enthusiasm for playing tennis on higher-up dirt = 0.2/10 Tweaking the robot’s default settings to bop along with Seven Nation Army mid-match = 50/10 Singlehandedly quadrupling both Babbel & Bumble’s monthly downloads in 10 seconds = Priceless. 😂🦊💪

@eeajjo #trusttheprocess 🤣 Great recap!

Jannik Sinner Madrid R2 Recap: Ahhh, another country, another city, and another fortnight spent dealing with all the stress and difficulties that come with ̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶#̶1̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶ ̶ playing in tournaments that use electronic coin tosses. 😮‍💨😰 Fox Boy struggled to land his usually devastating groundstrokes early on. However, it was unclear if he was struggling to hit through the higher altitude, or through the 2848593 Tennis Twitter jinxes placed on him pre-tournament… Madrid’s M1000 is held in the European spring, and the seasonal allergies were visible on both sides of the court. Bonzi broke out in hives at the mere suggestion of running to retrieve a drop shot, whilst Jannik sneezed uncontrollably every time he reached 40 in a return game. 🤧 The ginger was the better player all set - generating 5 break points to 0, winning double the return points, and producing a 9.0 performance rating versus a 7.5…. so, naturally, he lost it in a tiebreak (#washed). Inside sources have since confirmed that Darth Sinner is not travelling with the team this tournament, and has instead tagged along on Ale-Alejandro’s family vacation. Fox Boy continued to show why the court-ordered paternity test is unnecessary, when he nailed two Djokosmashes in one game. Pleasingly, his dedication to developing variety in his shots is paying dividends, because he hit one of the overheads into the net, but sent the other one hurtling 4m past the baseline. #trusttheprocess👌😂 Papa Darren was an unexpected, but very welcome, sight in the team box again. He and Vagno had clearly spent their downtime playing Just Dance, and showed off their Rasputin skills (IYKYK) by bobbing up and down at every sniff of ginger adversity. Papa Darren calmly advised Boss Baby to stay strong and hang in there when he started to bubble over in frustration, and his moody teenager ̶t̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶h̶i̶m̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶s̶u̶g̶g̶e̶s̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶ smiled and nodded and thanked him kindly for his helpful tip. 😉 Despite successfully dismissing his first 8 break points, Bonzi received the “remember who your opponent is” signal from establishment mafia officials on his ninth opportunity. He dutifully served up a double fault, to ̶s̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶f̶a̶m̶i̶l̶y̶ ̶ allow the ginger his first break of the match. The carrot FINALLY remembered the #1 next to his name means he is apparently the best at hitting that yellow round thing with that other less round fibreglass thing, and got to work in the second set. He welcomed Bonzi to the real Sinnerball experience, and kindly plated up a fresh baguette to remind the Frenchman of home… 🥖🇫🇷 After 2.5 hours, 48 inner monologues listing off reminders of why exactly he wanted to play on this cursed dirt, 3 pickle juices, and 7395 memeworthy grimaces, Fox Boy finally closed the match out 6-4. Unfortunately, he was immediately delivered the devastating news that filming and production of Heated Rivalry 2 has been delayed until at least Wimbledon. 😢 Finally, this match was a real test in mental toughness, perseverance, and definitely not counting down the 98 days until cement season …………….. and the Sinner fans passed with flying colours. 😉🙌 FORZA. 🦊🧡

@signofhsab A stupid question that also insults the rest of the tour.

i giornalisti non ce la fanno a fare una (1) domanda giusta non ho parole, lui sempre un signore

Meine persönlichen Gedanken zu den teilweise ekelhaften Kommentaren und Reaktionen, auf den tödlichen Unfall von Juha Miettinen: Der tragische Verlust von Juha Miettinen, beim gestrigen Qualifying zum diesjährigen 24 Stunden Rennen auf der Nürburgring Nordschleife, steckt allen Motorsport Fans noch in den Knochen und trotzdem gibt es Kommentare dazu, welche mehr als pietätlos sind... Menschen die mit Motorsport vorher keinerlei Erfahrung oder Berührung hatten, aber auch solche die sich selbst als "Veteranen" bezeichnen, lassen sich zu folgenden Aussagen hinreißen: "Er war 66 Jahre alt, da sind die Reflexe einfach nicht mehr da" "Die langsamen Autos beim 24 Stunden Rennen, sind eine Gefahr für die GT3 Boliden" "Selbst schuld wenn man in dem Alter noch Rennfahrer spielen will" ----------------------------------- Ja, auch ich musste erstmal schlucken, als ich diese und weitaus ekelhaftere Kommentare gelesen habe. Es waren tatsächlich sogar Leute dabei, die sich lauthals darüber beschwert haben, dass ihnen der Vorfall "den Spaß" genommen hätte, denn "danach war ja nichts mehr Qualifying gewesen" Betrachten wir den Unfall mal sachlich: Im Bereich Steilstrecke hatte ein Fahrzeug im Vorfeld Öl/Kühlmittel verloren, was gerade in diesem Bereich (Hohe Geschwindigkeiten mit anschließendem hartem Bremspunkt) fatal ist. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit führte dies dazu, dass mehrere Fahrzeuge (insgesamt 7) dort hart einschlugen, unter anderem auch der BMW von Juha. Dieser wurde hart auf der Fahrerseite getroffen, während Juha sich gerade aus dem Wrack befreien wollte. (Weitere Details werde ich hier nicht nennen) - Es handelte sich NICHT um einen Fahrfehler! - Es hatte NICHTS damit zu tun, dass Juha in einem "langsamen" Fahrzeug unterwegs war! - Es hatte NICHTS mit Reflexzeiten zu tun! In einer Situation wie dieser ist es vollkommen egal, ob man mit einem VW Polo oder einem Bugatti Veyron unterwegs ist, man wird innerhalb von Sekunden von Fahrer zum Passagier! Unfälle wie dieser sind wieder einmal die Bestätigung dafür, warum die Nordschleife auch die "Grüne Hölle" genannt wird. Allein die Topographie der Strecke führt dazu, dass selbst erfahrene Piloten an ihre Grenzen kommen. Juha war ein erfahrener Pilot, mit unzähligen Kilometern auf verschiedenen Rennstrecken, aber besonders auf der Nordschleife. Er übte diesen Sport mit Herz und Seele aus, war stets ein fairer Fahrer und bei den Fans somit auch sehr beliebt. Ich selbst habe ihn bei dem ein oder andere Rennen der VLN/NLS getroffen und mich mit ihm unterhalten Juha war ein guter Mensch, ein guter Rennfahrer und guter Sportsmann. Diese ganzen unterirdischen Kommentare über ihn, von Leuten die keinerlei Ahnung haben, schmerzen nicht nur weil sie unfair, sondern auch mehr als unangebracht sind! Das einzige was man über Juha sagen sollte wenn man ihn nicht kannte ist: Ruhe in Frieden Juha Miettinen 18.01.1960 - 18.04.2026 Und alle anderen Kommentare, Vermutungen und/oder Äußerungen, sollte man sich alleine schon aus Anstand sparen! Ich würde mich sehr freuen wenn ihr diesen Post bitte in euren Timelines teilen würdet, um so das Ansehen von Juha zu wahren und den negativen Kommentaren keinen Platz zu geben Danke❤️ #24hNBR #RIPJuha 🕯️🖤🕯️ Danke fürs Lesen Euer Maxi 🔧🏁

@HamanaRiley @festivetables @tennis_insights @janniksin With a gif no less 🤣

@festivetables @tennis_insights @janniksin You obviously care since you commented 😄

Clicking into top gear💨 @janniksin produced quite the glow up to finish the match in the final of Monte Carlo👏 From a break down in the second set, he found his consistency on the forehand side increasing his in % from 80% during the first 17 games to 87% in the last 5📈 #TennisInsights | @atptour | @ROLEXMCMASTERS
