I was going to put 'The Fans' as an option but then I figured everyone would just pick that one and the whole thing would be pointless.

Justify Tell me your reasons for your choice in the replies/tags.

Celebrity tennis coach Bollettieri dies | The Express Tribune

MIAMI: Nick Bollettieri, the celebrity tennis coach who helped develop such icons as Andre Agassi and Monica Seles, died on Monday aged 91. While his methods were sometimes controversial, his academy in Florida churned out top players. Agassi, Maria Sharapova, Seles, Jim Courier, Anna Kournikova and Mary Pierce all passed through his Bradenton complex. Bollettieri also advised Venus and Serena…

watching tennis for the first time ever on YouTube because of your story. for reference i’m watching the 2008 Wimbledon Federer v Nedal match (i hope i spelled their names right)

BROOO that's one of the most epic tennis matches ever to have been played. And probably my fave of all time!!

Other faves:

Novak Djokovic v Roger Federer - 2019 Wimbledon Final

Novak Djokovic V Rafael Nadal - 2012 Australian Open Final

Also, I've not watched this but after reading The Rivals: Chris Evert Vs. Martina Navratilova: Their Epic Duels and Extraordinary Friendship, I was obsessed with them and this match has been on my to-watch list for a long time: Chris Evert vs. Martina Navratilova, French Open Finals, 1985

Other honorary mentions:

Bjorn Borg vs. John McEnroe, Wimbledon Finals, 1980

Monica Seles vs. Steffi Graf, French Open Finals, 1992

Hi 6,13,17 for you, please!! <3

thank you!!

6. do you have any tennis-related pet peeves?

Yes, the commentary! I hate the flashy 'let's use weird metaphors' commentators and love it when they have actual tactical and shot selection insights, which doesn't happen often enough. And I hate nothing more than the commentators praising a shot just because it worked in that specific instance

13. name a player you dislike that everyone likes

okay, it's not dislike at all but I am kind of weary of Roger sometimes, when he's in bland poster boy mode. Also I dislike Cam Norrie for absolutely no reason other than that he gives off frat boy vibes to me but then I don't think everyone likes him. So i guess both those answers are a bit of a cop out. let me think about is some more

17. ATP: I am retiring Zverev for obvious reasons and because everyone who doesn't follow tennis closely but knows I like it keeps bringing him up to me 💀And I am immediately bringing back an injury-free Juan Martin Del Potro, thank you very much

WTA: I have some trouble retiring someone here... maybe Eugenie Bouchard. And I'm bringing back Monica Seles I think.

I was wondering why protestors on tennis courts was making me so nervous. Monica Seles. I'm not old enough to remember the incident but I know about it and it makes me nervous everytime someone gets close to the players.

This is relatively minor but Jay Clark also apparently "remembers" Monica Seles being stabbed while signing autographs. Which would be hard to do given that she was actively playing a match and the man ran onto the court.
