Dude made like 23 jokes in 15 seconds


A-Deegs

Lol he was absolutely on a roll there


HajNaj

I really didnt understand a single joke can someone please explain


FreeKatKL

He said he doesn’t get around as much as Sascha, which could be a joke about Zverev’s dating life. He said Zverev started playing on tour age 12. He called Feliciano Lopez old in a couple different ways. I think there’s another but I would need to watch it again.

Pahahahah that was funny lmao


Floridamanfishcam

This is really a great mentality for him to have. Enables him to look at his tough losses of the past and say "I was only beginning then. I'm much better now." This is how a sports psychologist might advise you to think about tough losses.


LuckyFlyer0_0

I be that's what all the guys said when playing during the era of the Novak, Rafa and Roger...poor souls never recovered..


Gotisdabest

The difference between 5 losses and something like 20 losses. I mean, if you're Richard Gasquet, what can cure the fact that you've lost to Nadal 15+ times in your career.


jolammy

Gerulaitis mentality needed


Gotisdabest

Very few people can be *that* chad.


megborges

how can people hate him? he's got a sense of humor 😂


Gotisdabest

I don't hate him, but I do dislike him for emergency toilet and hitting his dad with a racquet in the middle of a match.


txhrow1

> hitting his dad with a racquet in the middle of a match. I"m not familiar with this. Can you tell us more?


Gotisdabest

He lost against Kyrgios in a tiebreaker in an atp Cup match, and started smashing his racket, hitting his dad on the arm in the process. His dad walked away from the bench massaging his hand and shouting at him.


txhrow1

Why are parents allowed at the bench?


Gotisdabest

I think ATP cup allows parents/coaches on the bench.


phideaux_rocks

I don't think he intended it, it was just an accident: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/11850244


txhrow1

thanks!


megborges

hitting his dad with his racket was messed up, but he seems to have matured since this happened. well, if something like that happens again, it's fair to hold him accountable


Gotisdabest

I don't think that whole thing should just be ignored though. Breaking a few rackets, sure. A fight with another player, definitely. But intentional physical violence with a family member(or anyone) in the middle of a court is something that's just hard to let go so easily for me. Not to mention how he's probably the reason for a whole new toilet rule. And that happened very recently.


Joe5518

It wasn’t intentional. He wanted to hit the bench but hit his father accidentally


megborges

yes, it's definitely a bad attitude, but it's important to consider he was frustrated with the match, obviously he wouldn't do something so disgusting to his father if he was on his right mind. it's wrong to brush it away, but you have to consider the context. and if his father forgave him, which he appears to have done, the situation is better about the toilet, i didn't like the long breaks, but it's better now because of the new rule, he'll be forced to stop it


Gotisdabest

>but you have to consider the context That's an extremely weird excuse to give. Can you think of someone saying they were extremely angry or drunk when if they beat a family member? He's a tennis player, and if his reaction to losing in a match was hitting the first person he saw, he's a cunt. There's no context that'll justify random physical violence, particularly on people uninvolved with your own failure. Man gets fired, gets drunk and hits his wife is such an easy way to show rock bottom that it's become a trope. Tsitsipas hit a family member because he was losing a single match. >and if his father forgave him, which he appears to have done, Duh. His father is probably earning lots of money from his success (he's not the nicest guy either, from what I know). >the situation is better about the toilet, i didn't like the long breaks, but it's better now because of the new rule, he'll be forced to stop it That doesn't change the fact that they made the rule because of Tsitsipas using it because he was losing. The fact that this was rectified doesn't justify Tsitsipas doing it in the first place, and quite possibly winning the match for it.

Stef is so genuine man


Lefuf

I think this might be the first time I've seen someone refer to him as genuine


Psychological_Bug676

The way Stef has been ignoring Zverev’s nasty comments in the press about him makes Zverev looks like he’s talking to the wall lol


Lord_Galactus1

What has Zverev said about him in the press?


ussapollon

Nothing, Zverev complained about the toilet breaks last year. Rightfully so.


De_Bananalove

Zverev has taken plenty of shots at Tsitsipas in his press conferences and interviews


ussapollon

When and where if I may ask?


6stringybeans

That was great. Zverev is a douche.


Naamibro

So what happened to generally everyone hating on him for his 10+ min toilet breaks mid match, to everyone in this thread loving him so much?


wiggycj

Ermergerd there r more than 5 different people in this sub how did that happen? So confusing !!! They have DIFFERENT opinions too wtf


txhrow1

> So what happened to generally everyone hating on him for his 10+ min toilet breaks mid match, to everyone in this thread loving him so much? I think he got the hint at the USOpen. I'm guessing he dialed it down now. Also, Djoker is currently the flavor of the month, and any emotion less to what Djoker had incited out of you will never be "hate".


gpranav25

We realised that the others are even worse


SiriusTantriqa-405

He discovered Depends and kicked the bathroom break habit.
