Harry24 July 23, 2021 Share July 23, 2021 Why do I find Olympics doubles so much more intriguing than doubles even at the slams? I’m totally psyched. Link to comment

Dandesun July 27, 2021 Share July 27, 2021 How is badminton this fun to watch?! We had a set in our backyard when I was in the 6th grade and we just tried to see how high we could make the birdie fly but competitive badminton is crazy! I'm loving it! 3 Link to comment

On top of that, he lost at mixed doubles today as well. Since he never plays doubles, this could be the first time he has ever experienced the double losing on the same day that many others have. Hah. 1 10 Link to comment
emmawoodhouse July 30, 2021 Share July 30, 2021 Novaxx losing was the best news to wake up to this morning. 😁 3 5 Link to comment
kittykat July 30, 2021 Share July 30, 2021 Yes! He's already tied with Fed and Rafa in majors and I don't want him to overtake them. At least the other two have gold medals. Pulling for Zverev at this point. 4 Link to comment

Pulling for Zverev at this point. Fed doesn't have a singles gold medal. He's often stated that it's his dream to win one but he's only* got a gold medal from doubles with Stan and a singles silver from London. Rafa has both. He won the singles at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and doubles with Marc Lopez at Rio in 2016. *I don't mean to diminish Fed's accomplishments by using the word 'only'. It's a praiseworthy feat and I mean it as a description of the number of times he's won a medal. 3 Link to comment

I’m just taking glee that of the Big 3 (plus Andy Murray’s 2) that Novak has been denied. I really don’t know much about Belinda Bencic but congratulations. Another Swiss steps up. And she has a shot at a doubles gold too. 1 Link to comment

galaxygirl76 July 31, 2021 Share July 31, 2021 What an asshat. If I were his mixed partner I would be fucking livid. I just read up on it and apparently he claimed to be injured, he probably hurt his shoulder while destroying his tennis rackets against Busta. 8 Link to comment

blackwing August 1, 2021 Share August 1, 2021 I guess Djokovic is at the point where he knows many people don’t like him, and he just doesn’t care. Threw a fit because he lost the bronze medal and then rage quit on his partner for the mixed doubles bronze. If there’s any justice, the Serbian Olympic Committee should refuse to pick him for Paris. 5 Link to comment

I wouldn't. I have no idea how you just throw a tantrum like that, ruin someone else's chance at a medal, and it's all okay in his head. If i were his partner i'd tell him to sleep w/one eye open. 6 Link to comment

xaxat August 1, 2021 Share August 1, 2021 He claims he dropped out of doubles because of a shoulder injury. Sure. And, on top of all of that he criticized Simone Biles for not being able to deal with pressure. Fuck that dude. 12 Link to comment

You will not find a bigger Djoker hater than me; however, in the interest of fairness, that quote seems to have been misrepresented. He was talking about the pressure of chasing the Golden Slam (*sad trombone), not about Simone. He has said and done an infinite number of other things that deserve enmity and hatred, so let's focus on those. Like, for instance, making up an injury to explain his indefensible, impetuous withdrawal from mixed doubles and fucking over Nina Stojanovic and her medal chances when we all know he's just having an extended temper tantrum. Go fuck yourself, asshole. 1 3 Link to comment

The comments section of the Washington Post article about ND’s behavior yesterday was full of ‘us’ too. You would feel right at home, BlackberryJam! Maybe unrelenting hate for ND can unite this divided country! 6 2 Link to comment
