“you are more than just tennis” /// “there is more tennis in you” aka my sinbublik rpf manifesto

i think sinbublik dynamics is really appealing because they are so different in the first place. jannik is very technical and procedural; he is the one who wants to execute every shot perfectly, and the notion of being “never enough” is very adjacent to him. jannik is all about craft and hard work, strategies and cautiously planned attacks. he keeps everything to himself. any slip of the tongue—gifted vulnerability to his rivals.

sasha, on the other hand, is pure chaos. he never has a plan, he is hard to predict, and that’s his main weapon. he gets praised for his natural feel of the ball and despised for his carelessness. he plays tennis for fun and makes it look effortless. easily carried away by emotion, he usually doesn't suppress it and prefers to be open about his losses. his hard work is overlooked: they call him lazy, they call him a clown, they accuse him of giving up and never trying. always too much, never enough. and while one is blamed for wasting his potential, the other maximizes it. sasha is too offhanded and too human to be a serious athlete; jannik is too mechanical and structured—too much again and never enough. and yet, they are in the same sport—two sides of a coin—and there is a place for both of them.

jannik gets stuck in this cycle of being better for the sake of just being better and beating his rivals, but here comes sasha, who states that playing tennis is fun and you can truly enjoy it. that it’s not necessarily only a sport but can also be a game. also worth noting, that jannik, usually so focused and detached, face unemotional, grins and smiles with sasha (and carlos, but that's not on the current agenda). he starts celebrating, too, allowing himself to show more of the real him. matches with sasha remind jannik why he plays tennis—not only because he desires to win, but just because he loves tennis.

jannik craves to prove to the whole world that he is worthy enough, that he is truly number one, but he doesn't need to do it with sasha, because sasha knows, he has always known. he recognised his talent years ago. that’s why their matches are not all blood, teeth, and hunger. they are not hunting, they are playing. they are more natural, and with all that playfulness, you can see true jannik—young, ambitious, and sometimes childish. jannik, who is not afraid to make a mistake and laugh about it.

i like to think that sasha, due to his chaotic nature and unpredictable moves, shakes jannik’s stable stance and makes him think out of the box. makes him feel a bit itchy and out of place, control slipping just slightly—but for sasha, this is just enough.

jannik is one of the greatest and strongest, he will be remembered in the sport. he wins like he breathes. sasha doesn't. he will never be that big, he will never make history. he is, however, the one out of the top 10, top 20, top 30—you name it—who can dare jannik occasionally. and that’s how an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object.
