“It was really good to play you today,” Jannik said without thinking. There was no describing it with words, the strange intimacy of knowing exactly what those hands could do, of feeling his racquet handle vibrate as he struck the ball and thinking, Yes. Yes. Of course this is how it feels, to play you.

No, he had no words. But the least he could do was introduce himself.

why's it giving divorced moms at their kid's parent-teacher conference

that ray of sunshine was sent down from the tennis gods

catholicbishops.ie / religion - lana del rey / 'tis the damn season - taylor swift / seoul super match - carlos alcaraz / contradictions - adrienne rich / false god - taylor swift / for m - mikko harvey / a sunday kind of love - etta james

they really really really like each other's backhand

serious study on the evolution of carlos THE grip alcaraz

so

step 1 - only the start, could still be seen as a hug but why do you need to touch his shoulder and be so close carlos he is SICK

step 2 - the grip is evolving, now fully grabbing (i can't prove it but i know jannik could feel the fingers on his skin even through the shirt)

step 3 - it became a thing, there is no shame anymore, slowly, slooowly climbing, that man had a vision

step 4 - where is your shame where is your decorum, fully grabbing his neck in front of everyone's salad, he's not going anywhere carlos you both are taking the SAME plane

“hopefully see you on sundays” is an insane thing to say because he’s really finally saying the quiet part out loud. this is a monogamous rivalry. they want it to all be between the two of them and just the two of them. the others aren’t welcome here. they want to see each other on the other side of the net, always. is there anything more romantic than declaring that you want the two of you to destroy everyone in your path to get to each other in the end?
