San Miguel de Tucuman Ch SF: Andrea Collarini [3] def. Lautaro Midon [WC] 6-1, 7-6(5) Match Stats

📸 ATP official website

L. Midon had to overcome a nervy start to the match, while A. Collarini stayed solid as he trusted his point construction, which also paid off in the middle of the second set as he broke back when the former should have served for the set. His possible redirections midway also contributed to some of his break points, generating 11 of them compared to L. Midon's 8, converting 45% of his break points compared to L. Midon's 25%, most of those came from the second set.

Besides, A. Collarini was also consistent on serve. Scoring 2 aces than L. Midon's 1, A. Collarini still stood out on his first serves as he won 65% of his first serve points, 15% more than L. Midon as the latter seemingly had difficulties in landing them, especially in the first set, which made his first serves more vulnerable compared to the second. In addition, even if the third seed double-faulted thrice, he still had the slight edge in the second set as he won 5% more points from his second serves than L. Midon with a 58% percentage.

In A. Collarini's first Challenger-level final since the Piracicaba Challenger 2023, he will face fifth seed Hernan Casanova, who defeated seventh seed Valerio Aboian 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 in a topsy-turvy battle several moments later to reach his maiden Challenger final. This could be a tricky contest for their power and aggression, and maintaining the balance could be the biggest challenge for both players to stand out in this match. Should be one of the matches to look forward to with a potentially exciting finish between them!

did you guys know about courtly love??? because I didn't

My introduction to courtly love was reading a Diana Wynne Jones novella that made no sense unless you know what courtly love is. After crawling confusedly through ancient Livejournal reviews to piece together what the story had been about, I took away that it was a weird medieval knight thing where you talk a lot of guff to a (married) woman without ever expecting it to turn into more than what it is.

The first chapter of CS Lewis's The Allegory of Love explains the concept much more thoroughly. His account is pleasantly bonkers. I now relay it to you. (Note: not only am I skeptical of parts of his account, I read it while sleep deprived, so salt liberally.)

First, a sketch of the relationship:

The lover is always abject. Obedience to his lady’s lightest wish, however whimsical, and silent acquiescence in her rebukes, however unjust, are the only virtues he dares to claim. There is a service of love closely modelled on the service which a feudal vassal owes to his lord. The lover is the lady’s ‘man’. He addresses her as midons, which etymologically represents not ‘my lady’ but ‘my lord’. The whole attitude has been rightly described as ‘a feudalisation of love’. This solemn amatory ritual is felt to be part and parcel of the courtly life.

This seems to have been both literary trope and a real-life interaction pattern (of which the former came first). A specific example in Arthuriana:

It is only later that [Lancelot] learns the cause of all this cruelty. The Queen has heard of his momentary hesitation in stepping on to the tumbril[, a humiliating cart he rode into the city where she was held captive, to rescue her], and this lukewarmness in the service of love has been held by her sufficient to annihilate all the merit of his subsequent labours and humiliations. Even when he is forgiven, his trials are not yet at an end. The tournament at the close of the poem gives Guinevere another opportunity of exercising her power. When he has already entered the lists, in disguise, and all, as usual, is going down before him, she sends him a message ordering him to do his poorest. Lancelot obediently lets himself be unhorsed by the next knight that comes against him, and then takes to his heels, feigning terror of every combatant that passes near him. The herald mocks him for a coward and the whole field takes up the laugh against him: the Queen looks on delighted. Next morning the same command is repeated, and he answers, ‘My thanks to her, if she will so’. This time, however, the restriction is withdrawn before the fighting actually begins.

So, huh. How did this cultural script come to be?

Courtly love as a literary trope began in 11th century Provence. Here's Lewis's sketch of that time and place:

We must picture a castle which is a little island of comparative leisure and luxury, and therefore at least of possible refinement, in a barbarous country-side. There are many men in it, and very few women—the lady, and her damsels. Around these throng the whole male meiny [i.e. attendants], the inferior nobles, the landless knights, the squires, and the pages—haughty creatures enough in relation to the peasantry beyond the walls, but feudally inferior to the lady as to her lord—her ‘men’ as feudal language had it. Whatever ‘courtesy’ is in the place flows from her: all female charm from her and her damsels. There is no question of marriage for most of the court. All these circumstances together come very near to being a ‘cause’; but they do not explain why very similar conditions elsewhere had to wait for Provençal example before they produced like results. Some part of the mystery remains inviolate.

So that's the material background – a lopsided gender balance. But more fascinating is the cultural background where the passion and devotion of romantic love – a passion/devotion Lewis claims simply did not exist as a mode for men to treat women in Europe before courtly love was invented – could not be channeled into marriage because such a stance is incompatible with the social role of a husband:

The same woman who was the lady and ‘the dearest dread’ of her vassals was often little better than a piece of property to her husband. He was master in his own house. So far from being a natural channel for the new kind of love, marriage was rather the drab background against which that love stood out in all the contrast of its new tenderness and delicacy. The situation is indeed a very simple one, and not peculiar to the Middle Ages. Any idealization of sexual love, in a society where marriage is purely utilitarian, must begin by being an idealization of adultery.

In fact, courtly love's rightful predecessor is not heterosexual love but the love of a vassal for his lord. (I am quite skeptical of this as a claim about reality, but less skeptical of it as a claim about literature.) Reiterating a sentence from the first quote in this post:

The whole attitude [of a knight in courtly love with his lady] has been rightly described as ‘a feudalisation of love’.

CS Lewis on that feudal relationship:

We shall never understand [the affection between vassal and lord], if we think of it in the light of our own moderated and impersonal loyalties. We must not think of officers drinking the king’s health: we must think rather of a small boy’s feeling for some hero in the sixth form. There is no harm in the analogy, for the good vassal is to the good citizen very much as a boy is to a man. ... He loves and reverences only what he can touch and see; but he loves it with an intensity which our tradition is loath to allow except to sexual love.

So it's that relationship that courtly love remixes into heterosexual romance. Courtly love ennobles the lover – there's a religious parallel here for sure. And it is necessarily adulterous because marriage is not a matter of personal passion, because distance is conducive to recreational idealization, because the lack of potential sexual consummation is pleasantly purity-coded in a Christian society, and because a wife, being a knight's inferior, cannot ennoble him. So, finally, Lewis says bluntly:

The love which is to be the source of all that is beautiful in life and manners must be the reward freely given by the lady, and only our superiors can reward. But a wife is not a superior.

Coming back briefly to Diana Wynne Jones's The True State of Affairs: I understand much better now the behavior of the protagonist's love interest. He's a bored would-be king in captivity who decides to make the other visible prisoner his midons. He expects her to understand the convention he's following. Why shouldn't he take her on as a concept like this? She, also bored and deprived, benefits from his gifts and minor heroics. He wants an ennobling influence. And besides, isn't idealizing a beautiful woman you never intend to make a move on fun?

A little collage comic inspired by Garak and Julian's "neurotic cross morality courtly love in a time of imperial decay". Not the most readable on mobile without zooming in but plotted this on paper so I didn't realize that before it was too late.

Text by itself:

Courtly love.

What a strange concept.

"a love at once illicit and morally elevating, passionate and disciplined, humiliating and exalting, human and transcendent"

It comes from Arabic love poetry.

All very fantastic.

Here's some concepts inside it.

Love will enable- ennoble and inspire you. The honor of your lover is on the line because the midon is associated with you.

She watches you as well.

She sees your deeds.

She weighs them.

Because your lover's honor is on the line, you must be chaste with her. She's married, after all.

Not to you. Never to you. Neither of you is that lucky.

It comes in stages.

Another Arabic influence.

First is the look, where you catch it.

Some steps later:

The declaration of passion

The lady rejects you. Reasonably.

You try again. The adventure is supposed to be the final part. But who doesn't love a good ad-lib?

Death approaches. Is love killing?

Does your valour win her favor?

Her love?

Do you even have valour?

What if she asks you to loose?

To keep loosing?

Is nobility killing?

Are you really noble?

Thats a joke. You know you aren't.

You know you aren't.

A. Collarini almost dominated the second set, but L. Midon put up a good fight until the moment shifted again toward the end of the second set. A forehand error from L. Midon generated A. Collarini's latest break point once again before the latter broke early to 2-0 to start the second set, but the third seed got broken back as soon as L. Midon found his range due to the latter's backhand misfire to set himself 2 points ahead before breaking back to 2-1, holding his serves to 2-2 afterward.

Interestingly, L. Midon produced a crucial game point thanks to his drop shot to the volley after surviving several break points along the way, holding his serves to 3-3 as a result. This became a crucial hold as L. Midon's preceding backhand down-the-line winner secured his break point prior to its conversion due to A. Collarini's +1 error (4-3). L. Midon proceeded by consolidating to 5-3, and had his fair chances to serve for the second set two games later, but A. Collarini's inspired point construction thanks to his intuitive backhand finish saved L. Midon's second set point, followed by the latter's backhand error that forced another deuce. By the end of the set, A. Collarini's smooth forehand down-the-line winner secured his break of serve to 5-5 to get himself back in this match.

The tie-break became inevitable as soon as both players held their service games (6-6). A. Collarini initially had the moment due to L. Midon's backhand error to 3-1 only to be mini-broken back for the equalizer. However, it was not until the very end of the match where A. Collarini became more clutch, where his slightly deep return got L. Midon run over at the net to set up his match point (6-5), which was immediately converted for the third seed to take the second set 7-6(5), thus securing his spot in the finals.

AYW8:

Let these boys treat R to a fancy dining experience at McDonalds! 🥹

Ugh the awkwardness of seeing him for the first time since the argument has ME anxious. 😂😭

‘“The hearts…one’s for Ryan, one’s for Luke, and one’s for, um, me,” Eddie explains bashfully as he slips his hands into his pockets.’ *okay okay okay*

“She would love that.” She smiles at him, then whispers in your ear, “the best way to get over Eddie is to get under someone else.”

She sticks out her hand to the mystery man and introduces both herself and you. I don’t want to get over Eddie,“ LILY I’M GONNA NEED YOU TO TAKE FIVE AND STEP OUT FOR A MINUTE.

Wayne Munson <- Y’ALL ALREADY KNOW! My mans Mac daddy Wayne at it again coming in clutch!

Our man coming to our rescue. 🥹

“It’s so cute that the boys wanna buy me MiDonal’s! They’re the sweetest boys ever. Where are we goin’? Oh, hey! You’re movin’ into your new aparment soon. Do you still wan’ me to—hey look, a dog!—wan’ me to go shopping for the stuff that you need? Eddie? Are you still mad at me? I hope not. I don’t like when we fight. I never wanna fight witchu. I love you! I never loved no one before, ya know. Just you! I was only bein’ such a pain in the butt because I wanna be by your side. Like partners. Wanna help you and have fun with you and do all the things with you. I hope you wanna be that with me too! Like Bonnie and Clyde! But no stealing or dying. Do you, hey, hey Eddie, do you remember that time a long time ago you said you liked that blue shirt I wore? Ya know, the one with the buttons and sleeves? Well, now it’s my favorite—” <- this is me talking to my husband anytime about anything. 😂

‘What you said tonight about Eddie not loving you definitely has to be addressed tomorrow—whether you were drunk or not when you said it, he doesn’t care.’

“Can I beat her?” 👏🏼

With every thrust of Eddie’s hips, he lists another thing he loves about you.

UGH I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR!!! I am glad they came to their senses and finally worked it out 😂❤️

@corroded-hellfire @munson-blurbs ❤️

B, I have missed your reviews!! Honestly, these always make my day
