I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm getting pretty tired of all these spoiled, entitled guys on the ATP tour constantly playing the victim.

Yeah, it certainly is. The outbursts on successive days by Zverev yesterday and Oikos today are mainly fueled by the realization that the days for them contending for grand slams are fleeting. Zverev has all the tools, but he gets way too passive in the big moments of matches and just waits for his opponent to make a mistake. The problem is guys like Alcaraz and Sinner and Djokovic (still) will punish any short or weak ball and will take the match from you unless you decide not to give them that chance. Stef suffers with the same tight moments in big matches, but also has that shaky backhand wing which opponents will punish knowing it will break down.
So, for both Zverev and Stef, the easiest thing to do is blame others rather than trying to fix their respective games.

I was privileged enough to watch Rafa in person 3 times. This might be an insensitive analogy right now, but he was a hurricane on a tennis court, often big enough to engulf even his goat rivals. I don’t think anyone else gave that same feeling of “yeah not only is the other guy gonna lose, he’s gonna suffer the whole time through as well”.
There will never be another Rafa Nadal. Vamos!

Never his biggest fan, but glad I got to see him in the flesh at Rod Laver. What a career, what a player.

If you had to pick one player and a court to play for your life, it would be Rafa on Philippe-Chatrier. Just a phenomenal player who had an illustrious career, it's always dangerous to say a record will never be broken, but 14 French Open titles might just stand the test of time.
