amanda seemingly rehiring rick as her coach is kinda interesting….i can’t really see what the plan is longterm but everything has seemingly gone backwards over the past few months and sachs clearly wasn’t a good fit

The first thing Jannik registers is the fact that this is the first person not from South Tyrol or its vicinity to get the J in his name right on the first call.

The second thing he registers is that the man on the other end is unusually and offensively chirpy for this hour of the morning. Maybe it was later in the day for him? A hint as to the timezone, though it'd likely prove unnecessary -

The third thing he registers is that he's definitely heard this exact same voice and its unique cadence before. He knows this man - even if it's not mutual.

sui generis

for the prompt - Jannik Sinner/Novak Djokovic; Jannik isn't a tennis player AU, he is an Etsy witch hired by Nole.

I haven't written rpf in a while, don't know where this is headed, kind of crack and fully gen but I hope you have fun reading it! :)) tagging @tennisrarepairpromptfest

“That’s the best thing about language: every time you use a word you are summoning so many other things—all the times that word has ever been used. I know this sounds a little psychedelic, but maybe I have an ancestor one hundred years ago who used this word that I choose to write now. What does it mean that everything that we are writing is recycled? Words are full of ghosts. Poetry is full of ghosts.”
