Guys what did Roger Draper do I’m acc so confused rn?? I’m new to Drapernation sorry chat 😔😔

he didn't actually do anything, he just gives me bad vibes 😭

jack has publicly mentioned that there was a time their relationship was strained so i'm sure you can infer that it has been rocky to say the least

i love how everyone seems to have decided to adopt carlos.

rafa, roger, djokovic, andre agassi, jimmy butler, neymar jr... they all saw him once and went "yeah, I like that one. i think i want him"

sorry did juanki cut his hair again??? why does he hate me

someone said he did, i havent seen the pics yet, and i dont want to bc ill die. he doesnt hate us he just wants us to obsess over him hes doing it for attention or something be gets a sick satisfaction from his fans going NNOOOOO PRETTY DADDY WHY . it feeds his need to be reminded of his beauty and how obsessed we all are with it

my other theory is that his haircuts are his yearly attempt to look more masc bc he came up in the 90s/00s locker rooms and prob got teased (bordering on sexual harrasment, of the homophobic variety) constantly for being a pretty boy, that complex rears its ugly head once in a while and he gets the impulse to shear off his luscious curls

putting on my rpf glasses in these trying times to Cope. carlos sr finding out juanki is fucking his son and demands that he stops being his coach and then carlos being like. but daddy i love him

this is my theory too lmfao. i've said it before on here too, maybe the real reason snr is beefing w/ jcf is bc he saw carlos falling in love with him, and didn't like it. also as me and some oomfs have discussed, fathers, and honestly especially sports fathers cant stand not being the most important man in their sons' lives. look at how three separate coaches from carlos's life have apparently had issues w/ senior lol. like at this point why dont you just coach him senior? samu keep your resume up to date, who knows how long you have in seniors good graces.

90s men's tennis is so underrated in terms of Narrative... a nightmarish vision of the American dream mixed with daddy issues mixed with psychotic coaches mixed with rivalry bordering on psychosexual obsession filtered through the nascent lens of Nike monoculture

find it fascinating how differently journalists wrote about cruyff & van basten's relationship based on which countries they were from. like italian* newspapers portrayed cruyff basically as this creepy old guy who was obsessed with the handsome and indifferent van basten while spanish journalists depicted marco van basten as this crazy guy with daddy issues who was hopelessly devoted to cruyff

* dutch newspapers were usually interviews with marco van basten and johan cruyff complaining about how much they hated italian and spanish sports journalists

griekspoor’s coach is his brother??????

[mousemannation]

okay i googled this bc it was confused and apparently so Tallon originally was with kristof vliegen for ten years better splitting in 2024 bc they “had grown too close together” and he tried a few different coaches but it wasn’t working so his brother SCOTT who is a TWIN became his coach but also he rehired vliegen June last year also ? nothing is updated like his Wikipedia still says daniel sorrel is his coach but that’s who he split with last year and atp website just has it blank lol

sainz snr famously not liking sharl because the incestuous father doesn't tolerate other men + sharl getting married recently = sainz junior no longer wanting daddy's approval... beautiful

sibling rivalries in sports are so interesting. this is such a compelling relationship to explore. you're two of a kind, the only two of your kind, because it's lonely at the top but you're lucky enough to have a sister - and yet part of it is defeating the one person who's of a kind with you!
