I bet you anything I destroy you in tennis.

I have only picked it up a year ago but I played with a guy who has been playing for 10 years and nearly beat him.

I guess my athletic background and past of playing sports like Badminton and Table tennis came in the clutch.

I picked up tennis remarkably fast according to my coach because I add a lot of top spin in my backhand and forehand while a lot of people can't properly add top spin even playing for years.

But maybe you can beat me..how long you been playing?

I just fucking love tennis

I see yea racket sports translate over well.

Like 10 years or so but very casually. Not like I can play the entire year where i live with it snowing over half the year.

We out to the courts?

Backhand obviously

Funny you ask this. Not trying to brag but I had a nasty two handed backhand, very consistent winners with it. But I stopped playing for a couple years and when I came back I randomly felt more comfortable with a one handed backhand, idk maybe I was too young for a powerful one handed backhand at that time and when I came back it felt natural.

I tried two handed but its hard for me to generate a lot of power with it.

One handed back hand just comes naturally to me.

Plus part of the movement is similar to slice back hand so I can confuse my opponents

I already got plenty of hobbies..tennis being the biggest

Roger, Nadal and Djoko, who’s your favorite?

 

[ShishioIsBack]

Roger, Nadal and Djoko, who’s your favorite?

Federer for sure

I try my best to copy his one handed backhand.

He's the most fun to watch.

I think Djokavic is the most consistent player tho..his forehand is one of the best.

 

[HA001]

Federer is the goat.

 

[ShishioIsBack]

Its fucking hard because I would say Nadal might have surpassed Federer as a player and Djokavic is more technically sound


But Federer is still my favorite among three.

Exactly the same thing happened with me. One handed just felt much better for generating power ontop of the mixups you can throw out. The tradeoff traditionally is consistency.

Also Kyrgios is funny af, a lot of the tennis community hates the guy for being "classless" but that makes me like him even more. He's a natural.

All around Djoko is the most efficient but Federer is an artist, we may get a better player than Djoko but no one will have Roger’s touch.

 

[Franosuke]

Used to be a massive Federer fan when I was younger. Got disappointed with how he aged.

Arguably he's already been surpassed by Nadal and Djokovic but he's still the GOAT in my eyes.

He's shenanigans are the reason why I like him

Ironically tho dude is one of the best players ever but even that gets outshined for all the extra bullshit he pulls.

Dudes serve is like a bullet out of a shot gun.

Thing is it's gonna be hard to argue with the results when it's all said and done. Djokovic is simply too consistent. He's a robot.

Tennis fans will never admit it, but Djokovic might just be the goat.

I would always see Federer as Michael Jordan of tennis.

Where as Nadal and Djokavic are like LeBaron James.

I guess Djokavic is treated same way by tennis fans as LeBron is treated by Basket Ball fans.

Not sure if I'd call LeBron consistent tho

Yeah he’s definitely the best, if you watched football back in the days it’s like comparing Ronaldinho with Cristiano, the latter has insane numbers and is stylish in his own way, but Ronaldinho was just pure magic.

Was so disappointed when he lost Wimbledon this year. I wanted him to succeed so badly.

Used to be a big fan but quit around 5 years ago, passionate football is dead
