ATP Tier List, 2024, colorized

something that has really irked me about jannik's anti-doping case are the idiotic reactionary players who want the maximum ban and punishment for him like...you realize if that precedent was set, it would negatively impact you too ??

the whole damn system needs a change without a doubt but the reactionaries are just that, reactive, because whatever precedent is set for the World No. 1 will impact everyone

Juan Carlos Ferrero and the bowling myth:

(via Instagram (Story 20.08.23) @ juankiferri)

and do I have to say it, tennis is predominantly a white sport, and every single fucking time a woman of color is not like, quiet, humble and polite to the point of becoming a rug for others to step on. And idk they show personality, like Coco being mad because the umpires were making terribke calls and she was getting frustrated, they called her rude and childish, Zheng being called rude because she's not greeting everybody with a hug, and she prefers to do her own thing, they did the same to Serena, to Venus, to other non white players. like how can you not fucking see it

everyone needs to leave her alone. enough

juanki swatting at him like a fly 😭 carlos leave the man alone

WADA I am in your walls

Aww Carlitos🥹🥹🥹🥹

I mean this new rule of having only 24 seconds between serve and point is sooo ridiculous and the atp should revise it and change it

we need another one of this (or a series with different languages)!!

please don't tell me im the only one 😭

Carlos and Coco seem to be wearing a ming/qing inpired hanfu pattern? But in a very modern "stylization".

okay imma nerd out about chinese traditional clothing a bit (a lot)

so here they are both wearing mid-late Ming dynasty (roughly mid 15th century - mid 16th century)style traditional Chinese clothing. in this period the economy was good so everyone were wearing pretty cloths with fancy patterns (in a lot of the times peasants were not allowed to wear bright colours and complex patterns), and the clothes and their sleeves were quite long and wide.

Carlos here is wearing a Ming dynasty style round collar robe （明制圆领袍）and I am quite sure that this one is of the mid-late Ming period because there are added pieces of cloth to hem of the robe which started to exist in mid-ming. also they managed to cover up his pants and made the whole thing look a lot more proper lol 😭 and carlos' robe has dragon patterning, which would be extremely bold of him if he wore that in early ming (in that period of time only the emperor or very important members of the government could wear clothes wth dragon patterns) but in mid-late Ming the economy was good everyone were quite happy so people didnt really care anymore. But! looking at the cloth and the pattern design and print the maker of this particular robe probably did not think that much about it because this one is probably from the average try-on-some-tradtional-clothes type of stuff at tourist attractions, and would cost around 300CNY if you want to buy one. The better quality ones can easily go 2000+CNY.

Coco here is wearing a stand-up collar side opening short coat （竖领大襟短袄）. yes there is actually a stand-up collar, but this type of collar is usually super tight and shes taller and more muscular than the average asian women so no wonder why she wasnt able to buckle the buttons up😭 this type of collar stated to become popular around mid ming dynasty too. she is also wearing a horse face skirt （马面裙）, which is essentially a really large piece of cloth (its actually two pieces sewed together but anyways) with a lot of pleats but three of them are super wide, and you wear it by wrapping it around your waist with the wide pleats at the front and the back of your body. its the standard lower body clothing for women through out the Ming dynasty, and were also quite popular in the Qing dynasty too. on a side note this thing is actually super comfy and easy to move around in, i some times wear mine on a normal day with a shirt or a sweater or any top and they go together quite well

to explain the two pieces sewed together part ⬇️

and im getting a bit unnecessarily emo over this because when rafa and jcf and moya did that very similar photo shoot in 2005 they were wearing very historically incorrect costumes because knowledge about traditional clothings of the Han ethnic group (ie the majority of chinese people) was largely lost because of several historical events and also people genuinely didnt care. from around 2010 people started to recover knowledge about our traditional clothing again and it started with a very niche group of people (including me) making, buying and wearing very poorly made, quite ugly and historically incorrect clothes lol😭😭😭 so its quite nice to see even though they just pulled out several pieces form the average try-on-some-tradtional-clothes at tourist sites type of collections, these pieces are more or less based on actual historical clothing (tbh the patternings are still kind of sus but its still a huge step forward 😌)

some people just lack critical thinking skills, istg.

Carlos: the atp schedule is too long and it's tiring

Jannik: yes! The ATP schedule is too long and tiring. But it's good we can choose, sometimes I don't play tournaments because I need breaks.

Tennis stans on Twitter: Sinner is clearly targeting Alcaraz, he's a terrible person. *Adds more unspeakable insults like wishing him injuries or bringing up how he should be grieving his aunt*

We basically can't win here. Whatever Jannik says pisses people off at this stage. I'm extremely tired. 😢🫠

jesus christ carlos it’s been like TWO MINUTES

Winning together twice a year, what, like it's hard?

oh dear. poor carlitos, he deserves a big hug after all that happened during this month.
