Yeah, I've seen that in tennis players over the years and barely have watched him but know what your referring to and that would annoy the shit out of me too. Tennis seems to create a lot of these Augustus Gloop attitudes for some reason.

There is "on court" and "off court". Most of the stuff he does on the court doesn't bother me. It is the stuff that isn't made public (some is, most isn't) as to why I can't stand the guy.
Fuck him.
Oh and Charlie Bucket rules.
yeah, what kick said. the man has zero class. he's a sore winner, for fuck's sake. he feels the need to rub it in his opponents' faces.
i get it... he sort of became "the villain" by default because of his lack of personality and the immense popularity of nadal and federer. but he really embraced the role and is just a total douchebag.
i'm not joking when i say i'd be fine with losing my bet if it means him not winning.
and since i haven't hit a bet yet in the tournament... maybe he WILL break a leg.
updated record:
parlays 0-3 -16.0

Ok, let's keep firing away on stupid big-chalk parlays. we'll see who we can get knocked out this time.
mannarino
shelton
tiafoe
tsitsipas
de minaur
hurkacz
(+286) 2 to win 5.7
and i gotta play my boy...
zhizhen zhang 2 to win 3.6
mannarino
shelton
tiafoe
tsitsipas
de minaur
hurkacz
(+286) 2 to win 5.7
and i gotta play my boy...
zhizhen zhang 2 to win 3.6
He's down to +40,000 now. Better jump on him before he drops below +25,000.
Also looks like I moved the line on his next match, from +180 to +165. I mean, the man hasn't lost a set yet this entire tournament!!
well, i had a feeling it was gonna be tiafoe, so i did maybe the smartest thing i've done so far this tournament (that's a low bar)....
so i just need hurkacz to take care of business. of course, he dropped from -500 to -450, so anyone who wants to hit a nice dog should probably hammer mensik.
and in other news... ZZ is now up to +215. probably has a broken ankle or something. fuck me.
current record
parlays: 0-4 -18.0

clearly this explains why he took a dive against humbert. i bet on him to win the wrong set of brackets!Zhizhen Zhang is now in the semi finals of the doubles
ZZ is struggling with a 43-year old man. Ok, full disclosure... that 43-year old is half of the team that's about to be ranked #1 in the world. But still.... he's 43!!
I actually played against that 43 year old guy way way way way way back in the day.
Friggen awesome that he will be number 1 in the world on Monday, just an incredible accomplishment.....
