Love not having a ”””fandom””” specific blog. Something new will just consume my mind and everyone has to accept it. My house

don’t be mad at flavio, jakub, or rafa for losing. don’t be mad at sincaraz or taylor fritz for not being there to beat him. be mad at the slams and the atp for allowing him to play, to be a public figure.

horrible, horrible thing that just happened, but remember: men being successful doesn't erase them being abusive

the world is one vicious cycle of tennis is supposed to be enjoyable to watch and it’s okay for me to turn it off if i need to and being too emotionally invested in the outcome to turn it off.

as we come closer to the likely outcome i think i have figured out what i want to say about this. this being zverev winning a slam.

i understand that winning a slam comes with an amount of pedigree within tennis, and it’s an achievement that comes with a lot of publicity and lauding. on this level i understand the frustration with him winning one.

what i dont agree with is the idea that this fundamentally changes anything. zverev is good at tennis, this is not a moral judgement. he has been a serious contender for many years. as much as it feels vindicating to call him a choker, to make fun of him for not winning one- that is ultimately a selfish feeling because it doesn’t serve any purpose. and in some ways directly obfuscates and trivialises the real issue.

obviously, i don’t think making a joke here and there is necessarily wrong, but i do sometimes worry the overwhelming amount of posts treating players beating him like a game is diluting the seriousness. the posts that only ever call him the rat or another nickname, the posts congratulating people for “exterminating him”- i worry these miss the point. he isn’t some funny little issue, he’s a serial domestic abuser. whether or not a player beats him isn’t them doing a favour for women or for viewers who don’t like him, there is no morality in it.

if it’s more important for you to be able to make fun of him for not reaching some arbitrary point of success than it is for him to be recognised and face consequences for being a serial abuser than your priorities are wrong. i don’t actually think anyone is doing this on purpose, but i think it’s easy to get caught up in our own anger, our own desire to feel better short term.

the first allegations came out i believe in 2020, if zverev had won a slam before that it would not have changed the fact that he’s an abuser. if he’d won every slam since it would not change that fact. on the other hand, if he lost every slam first round it would also not change anything. the truth of it though is that he does make deep runs frequently. that’s why he’s been top 5 for so long, and him being top 5 for so long has already made him a face of men’s tennis regardless of his slam success.

no longer being able to say he’s a choker or he’s a slamless loser or whatever insult in that vein you want is not even remotely relevant when the real reason people should be upset is that he is, once again, a serial domestic abuser.

maybe flavio pulls off a miracle and he wins this one, zverev will continue to be a contender in the next and the next and the next. the issue has never been that he might win one, but that he’s able to compete at all.
