omg tennis is perfect and i love how this extends to the rest of the cast so thanks for the detailed response! if you don't mind making it longer... what's the deal with jgy's one (1) slam? and how does he feel about doubles?

No problem, thanks for the ask since it gave me the opportunity to ramble about tennis and Xiyao.

The way I have this outlined, the entire AU is larger than just their tennis careers, which means their careers are analogous to their Sunshot experiences rather than the entire novel. I'll talk about JGY's one slam and touch on his doubles career too.

JGY's slam is obviously a stand in for the climax of the Sunshot campaign. However, at the start of his career he's coming from nowhere, having taught himself mostly by watching others and training with ridiculous if not always effective dedication. His mother used all the money she had to try to get him a good tennis education, but that really just extended to buying equipment and the occasional lesson. As in canon, he's a prodigy whose development is held back by a lack of resources but who develops his own style by synthesising various different techniques.

He's too short to have a formidable serve, so his playing style is a bit like Diego Schwartzman at his peak i.e. clay his best surface, stellar return game, hits winners from defensive positions. But he also has amazing hands and good touch at the net. Just fantastic at disguised drop shots and disguised shots in general. He reaches a number of finals but not a slam final, and hasn't won any singles tournaments. Wins some minor doubles tournaments with NMJ, like 250 level and maybe also a 500, and then NMJ catches him colluding with the Wens to rig games for money at the Challenger level.

NMJ considers JGY dead to him after this and JGY ends up playing doubles mostly with other players who went to the Wen training academy and are still part of that circle. His ranking is as high as it's ever been, but still no slam and no reasonable expectation of one. Anyway, I won't go into more detail, but suffice to say that by the time we get to the equivalent of the endpoint of the Sunshot Campaign, NMJ is as close as he's ever been to finally beating WRH in a slam final because only JGY stands in his way at the semifinal.

Except NMJ is carrying an injury and this is his worst surface and JGY's best, so JGY exploits said injury and wins the match. Obviously everyone expects JGY to have expended all his energy taking down NMJ and thinks he'll get flattened in the final, but instead JGY comes out fresh as a daisy and beats WRH in straight sets, taking match point with a lob worthy of 2015 Davis Cup final Andy Murray. Right after this match is when WRH finds out that Someone Anonymous has whistleblown the entire illicit Wen betting operation and there's a huge scandal in which JGY comes out smelling like roses.

After this, JGY steps back from singles and has much more success in doubles with LXC, mostly because it's a conscious and deliberate move to keep that FO win shining bright in people's minds rather than let them see him not replicate that success. Doubles with LXC is both a move to build a popular brand and also just a thing they really enjoy doing together. At this point LXC is probably the only male top tenner who regularly plays doubles. LXC is also the first doubles partner JGY has who actually respects his abilities as a player and doesn't make snide comments about carrying JGY with his serve. Instead LXC waxes lyrical about JGY on the return and they win, like, everything together.

JGY retires from playing relatively young and ends up director of the FO because I refuse to let realism interfere with my fantasy. He is so good at his job that the FO becomes the most diplomatic and gracious and progressive of all four slams RIP to Mauresmo but he's different. He basically becomes a leading light in tennis despite the haters, and is instrumental in providing greater financial support and resources for lower ranked players plus ploughing funding into grassroots tennis.

#ask #testblog-54 #maybe the tennis au needs its own tag #i did say you have no idea how deep this goes! #alas the whole nmj issue does end up being addressed #can't avoid a canon beat that significant #(i say with no intention of having the ending resemble canon) #and he lived happily ever after hitting exquisite dropshots to the end of his days #roquen's xiyao tennis au

6. favorite surface to watch?

probably clay! objectively it's my favorite, plus imo clay matches are generally more fun and a lot of my favorite players are good on clay

23. what's your favorite stroke?

this is one of the ones i can't really answer 💀

more recently learned about the term "inside-out forehand" and have subsequently become very fond of it

25. if you could change the result of one match, which one would you pick?

my god, i mean. the easiest one would be rg final 2023, but idk, i feel like it's difficult bc at the time i actually was very happy with the result...and if iga didn't win she wouldn't have been year end #1. i think i don't have enough knowledge of tennis from previous years to give a non-recency-bias answer but my next would probably be wimbledon final 2023.

#nothing against marketa but ons getting her slam and then being able to have kids is something i think abt a lot #also i always feel the need to express that i did not grow up playing or watching tennis #like it wasn't even on my radar until ~2022 #so i've been learning a lot about it and still don't know terminology and stuff #hence why i don't feel like i can say what my favorite stroke is bc up until recently i only knew two (2) #forehand and backhand #idk does serve count as a stroke? #serve and volley and dropshot? do any of those count 😭 #i still don't really know what strokes are my brain is very much programmed for football terms #thank u for the ask <3

two meters inside the baseline on a second serve return on break point in two consecutive matches and laughing at himself for even trying it as a tactic but winning the crucial point both times? Welcome to Sascha Bublik's world ;-)

photos from the Open Sud de France quarterfinals and semifinals 2024 (in both cases he had to jump backwards pretty hastily in order to actually return serve - see below)

#alexander bublik #those matches against alex shevchenko and against felix were absolute popcorn matches #such an entertainer #even when he's trying hard to play serious tennis like this week :) #lots of dropshot wizardry #backhand slice to die for #almost running out of challenges in game 1 of the third set during the semifinal iirc #double faults aplenty in important moments #but hardly ever backing down from his commitment to hit faster second than first serves :D (several well over 200 km/h today) #in short: the two best matches i've seen here so far #tennis #open sud de france 2024 #my photos
