Just Tennis

Hi. Just wanna talk about tennis.

[tennisobsessed]

Hi everyone. I have been on tumblr for a long time but recently I got myself an account. Tumblr is amazing in the way it allows us to build a community and talk about our interests with people who also love the same things a us. I love tennis, which is currently on my thoughts any time have any free time to myself. So I will be posting about that. My favourites are Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek.

Anybody wanna talk about them, tennis, feel free to ask anything or post anything to me.

What a Great Match.

Iga was strong in the first set. I was hoping for a bagel, but a breadstick is good too.

Plíšková was stronger in the 2nd set at first, which seemed to mess with Iga's game a bit. But she recovered and came across strong.

Congratulations to Iga!!!! Continue playing very well. JAZDA!!!!

What a great match. I am just happy he won in three sets.

It was an intense match, with a wobbly first serve but good court coverage, winning after 40-0 to going to a deuce from the same.

Congratulations to Jannik on his win. FORZA!!!

PS: Now we know he associates golf to his inability to play as well as Carlos. Just like Tennis, Golf is something he is linked to with Carlos.

Walking around, fist-bumping while his blood paints his shoes red. OKAY.

[tennisobsessed]

Missed the match after the first wo sets, but holy shit was it a match!!!

He started of so well with wonderful aces, but would then go down or lose games from 40-0. I saw him up 40-0, I would go to get water or something, when I would be back he would be batting an advantage against Kecmanovic in the same game. I felt his court coverage wasn't that great in the little I saw, but I am sure he will improve wonderfully.

I saw the horrific fall and had my heart in the throat. I was so relieved when he got up, but apparently he broke a nail and bled through his pristine white shoes. As someone who has broken a nail and couldn't walk without limping, hats off to Jannik Sinner for not only playing an elite match of Tennis but also winning.

All in all, congratulations to Jannik!!! FORZA!!!

PS: I hope he went to sleep with a smile seeing his fated grown into rival liking his posts implying he watched the match.

imagine you had never won a clay title over 250 level in your ENTIRE LIFE and people were calling you a HARDCOURT MERCHANT. and you had to play the MONTE CARLO FINAL against your BIGGEST RIVAL in a match that would decide WORLD NO.1. and you beat him in STRAIGHT SETS to win a fourth CONSECUTIVE masters title. and afterwards you jump into a POOL and he takes a video of the whole thing for SOME REASON. now what if i told you this is just one day in the life of my close friend jannik sinner

Never really get thoughts on Carlos's photo dumps, but this one punched me in the gut and made me feel a lot of things and reared al lot of thoughts in my head.

The first thing I want to say is Carlos looked absolutely adorable with his little bun. This is the hair style little kids have when they are starting to grow hair and want to have hair tied like the adults. And just as with them, all I wanted to do was pinch his cheeks and give him a hug. (Special mention to his long hair, he is really going for the classic prince look).

The thing that absolutely floored me was his happiness. Carlos has always come across as a person who is bubbly and happy, but even going through something like an injured wrist (something that affects his primary life goal), he is optimistic, playing tennis with his left hand and practising. His hand brace is significantly reduced, so he is recovering well and recovering fast. I am so pumped for his return.

The thing that gutted me was his family and holiday pics. When was the last time he got such an extended time with his family? When was the last time he had both his parents and all his brothers? When was the last time he could go on extended vacations with all his friends? He is only 23 and this might be the first time in a long time he is having a normal summer and that too because of a injury. And despite that he is enjoying, practising and just being a ball of positivity.

I can't wait to see him back on court but I hope he also gets more opportunities to spend time with his family and friends.

@carlitosalcarazz: A different kind of May! ❤️

[tieheartbreaker]

waittt these have to be THE ice cream cones carlos got angry at jaime over (in the documentary) because jaime had eaten them all 😭

(fun fact the subtitles in english are wrong, and the spanish ones too because they didn't understand his accent well lol) carlos, asking about the ice cream cones: "¡no! ¿te los has comido todos? acho, tú te los comes todos", in english: "no! you ate them all? acho, you always eat them all"

I abhor this year's RG. It is my favourite tournament but with Iga gone, all my favs are gone. I cannot watch all the matches but always make sure to catch the finals. Now i don't know if I am going to. I know this is a sport outside our control, but couldn't if have the way for anyone I root for?

Well with the rant out of the way, I feel terrible for Iga. She worked so hard for the clay and had some very nice first rounds. But in her words, she couldn't make her body do what she wanted and I hope she comes back stronger. The highlights were only 3 minutes long so I couldn't understand anything but hope they had a good match.

Come back stronger Iga !!!!!!!!

[tennisobsessed]

Absolutely absolutely gutted for Jannik. I really hoped both of them would have achieved their Career Slams this year, especially after Carlos won the AO.

I watched the highlights, but couldn't really understand much beyond that Jannik was playing very strong at first, and a little less later.

he said he couldn't find any energy and had been feeling off since the begining. I hope he and his team can solve the issue, and jannik can recover and come back way stronger in Wimbledon or Halle before that. But he put up a valiant fight despite everything and that makes him a great athlete.

I believe him when he says the heat wasn't the cause but I can't help but feel if the conditions were better, Jannik could have pulled through. The conditions in which all of them are playing is quite bad with this year's heat and the tournament organiser's should do better.

His hair ! 😅😍😍

And of course his smile

[tennisobsessed]

Carlos out of Grass court season as well. I hope he focuses all his energy on recovering properly. It is so much better to recover well rather than try to do things fast and compromise yourself.

Hopefully we see him for Cincy.

GET WELL SOON CARLOS!
