I wanna hear what you like so much about tien/ why he’s so special to you!!! I love hearing why fans are drawn to and love specific players :P
i love him sm because i can see his traits in myself, like how he's always trying to be polite to refs, interwievers etc, how he's always smiling in front of a camera, it's a habit that i also have, how he's so humble when talking about himself and i just feel like he has a similar presence to me so i can relate :>
i absolutely adore his play style and ofc his additude on court, i wish i could play like him, he never gets angry at the ball kids or refs or his coach michael, doesn't throw tantrums and it just instantly earns respect
i also like the fact that he's a very private person and doesn't share much about his personal life, i feel like it's a very good and mature approach
speaking of maturity he just feels mentally on another level compared to other players, especially those his age, he's got the tennis IQ needed to achieve big things because you won't get far just knowing how to hit a ball right??? there's a lot of fellas on tour who just spam the same moves and hope it will work and learner tries to solve it methodically and that's also what i admire him for
might be some spelling mistakes in this cause i cant type on a tablet 😭😭
