  • Tennis hangover?

    From Kalevi Kolttonen@3:633/10 to All on Wednesday, May 20, 2026 17:55:54
    Hello!

    Anyone else suffering from a bit of a tennis
    hangover after all those brilliant ATP1000
    events? I am certainly feeling the effects.

    I was just watching ATP500 Hamburg, Davidovich
    Fokina vs De Minaur. Awful, second rate playing.
    Makes me wonder why am I even watching this,
    getting disgusted by the lame and cheap errors.

    I guess I will watch the Hamburg semis and the
    final and skip everything else, getting ready for
    the Roland Garros starting on Monday.

    I saw Davidovich-Fokina play some old French fellah yesterday. D-F is a
    very uninspiring, if stolid, player who is no fun to watch, and the
    Frenchman was a hystrionic mediocrity.

    As you say, KK, not very good viewing.
