SO WHAT'S WRONG WITH TIME VIOLATIONS
YOU'LL NEVER SHINE IF YOU'RE NOT BOLD
YOU'LL NEVER WIN IF YOU DON'T ROID
HEY NOW

Not Nadal.
Now Dj0j0v1c can claim the French Open.
#teamsimongilles
#svitolinacrew
What the hell is up with that chant in the Simon game? Sounds like paki shit.
I know it won't happen, but every time he makes it to R4 I let myself think maybe Isner finally wins a slam.

Will wawrinka go into super sayan mode?
sometimes when i watch stanimal, i am amazed at how drastically different he is from cuckrinka
how does one fluctuate between two extremes so frequently
>>67886208
>Spanish grammar
>>67886208
Fucking hope so, only he has the code to defeat Djok.
>>67886224
Cocaine probably, like Jekyll and Hyde
rate wawrinkas serve motion.
how can it look so clumsy yet aesthetic?
>>67886184
Djoko should win the FO by beating the best tho.
Djoko is my fav Tennis player after the Claybabby.
>>67886238
sorry pham
>>67886260
Germanbro, is that you?

Have received NEET money for almost 1 year now.
Didn't apply for welfare before.
>>67886357

>>67886374
I'm waiting for some britbong to do it.
Don't fuck this up now Stan. Got 10€ on 3:0
>>67886106
Pretty neat song. SEETHING that my favourite is out.
>You will never hit forehands to Rogers backhand till it breaks down.
peperonie pizza for dinner mate
Is there a bet as safe as Djokovic to win? Literally 1.000000000001 odds
>>67886453
Haram
>all these nadullfags
kill yourselves
>>67886474
He might fuck up like in Rome when the weather goes full Monsoon next week.
wawrinka playing EXTREMELY well
>>67886513
he can't fuck this up. if he does his GOAT status will always be questioned
>>67886527
6-0 6-1 6-3 GOAT status intact. He'll be fine.
who here stay for simon match
holy shit
that return
>>67886546
not me senpai.
troiki has a serious look in his eyes, like he might be able to have you shot.
>>67886106

>>67886398
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1KmAgXgiyQp
needs to be an amerifat doing it imo
has troicki found out novak's secret regime and taken it himself?
will he KEK NOVAK ?
>People though Kryigios would beat Gaskek
lmao
>>67886805
Bit late lad.
>>67886716
Haha thanks for that.
>>67886833
At work, not dumb enough to go on 4chan there
please don't choke it away now
>Stan ruining my safe bet
>>67886887
he won't lose. only delay the win
>>67886910
i bet on 3:0
simon gilles is basically djokovic with heart and without a microchip
>the city of shitzerland
>>67886919
if it goes to the tiebreak, stanimal will win it
Simon is not really that good on clay.
>you now remember this game

>>67887205

I dislike troicki's face. He just looks like he'd be an asshole to almost anyone
Who can stop Stan from reaching the final and BTFOing Djokobitch like it's 2015?

>>67887247
I want Simon to win so I can watch something.
I have literally nothing to do.
Pls stop being bad.
>gillou
>>67887366
cannot be unseen
Troicki might be a dark horse
>>67887366
oh fuck
>nadal couldve been the goat if it wasnt for injuries
hate to see such potential wasted
I really REALLY wanna touch Troicki's t-shirt. The fabric looks so soft
>>67887375
Never noticed the resemblance?
>>67887366
why did you do this to me
>>67887433
thought it was already a meme desu
>>67887393
>wasted
hardly. the man has won 14 grand slams. he could have had a better career had it not been for his never-ending injuries but i guess that is the cost of greatness
What I ask myself is how can Djokovic with all that sloppy and cringing movement not be injured all the time?
Is he made out of rubber?
who's the mongface?
glad simon is being crushed
boring negative moonballer
>>67887262
Gasquet
french waves m8
>>67887499
idk either. must be buying the most expensive healing supplements on the planet.
watching him just makes muh knees ache
>>67887541
thank god I'm not the only one. His match against kyrgios today was great, haven't seen him chase down balls and play so intensely for a while. Can he do it..?
>>67887366
>>67887605
probably not
agree he looked great today but he's never been able to string it together consistently
>>67887605
If he can beat Kei I will believe in him, but I don't think it will happen, though 5 sets and the French crowd could make is possible, provided Gasquet doesn't blow up mentally, I was worried he would choke the 2nd set against Kyrgios but he held on and won it
>>67886924
And without wins
Why is Simon pooped? he should be fit as fuck.
>>67887629
come on pink man, crumble
>this crowd
Real classy.
>>67887702
Fucking hell why do I keep quoting people by mistake.

Basically everything that's good about carbs.
No fun allowed diet.
>>67887732
Hell is other people.
Well fuck m8, now I have nothing to do. ;_;
Looks like another few hours of browsing the net.
Need to get my damn pc back from the store, want to play overwatch and other games so bad.
>>67887857
A Swiss won last year man, that's basically the same thing as a Frenchman winning. Wait until Belgium wins the Euros this summer.
>>67887811
>French "athletes"
>>67887926

>yfw you remember that Andy Murray literally beat the entire French Davis Cup team singlehandedily

I actually watched eurovision with /int/, was fun.
>>67888159
U wot?

they seem like polar opposites
>>67887811
>French athletes in charge of winning anything
Corrected :^)
>>67888285
Seems plausible. Serve and volley guys. Good serves. Milos should really be doing well at Wimbledon. Also change his fucking disgusting ice man personality.

Hello lads, currently working at Roland-Garros, ask me anything ;)
Here is the schedule for tomorrow : http://www.club.fft.fr/_adc/services/resprog/pdf/Day_14_OOP_Saturday_28.05.16_20160527204339.pdf
Men single draw : http://www.club.fft.fr/_adc/services/resprog/pdf/Men_s_Singles_20160527204339.pdf
Women single draw : http://www.club.fft.fr/_adc/services/resprog/pdf/Women_s_Singles_20160527204339.pdf
>>67891224
What lid
>>67891348
nothing m8, strongly agree is all
>>67891307
are you a qt ball grill?
>>67891449
Nah I work in the offices of the french tennis federation, but you should see the hostesses and outlets staffs, tons of qt grills all day long, those are worth the ticket
>>67891487
Do you contact with players?
>>67891487
Are you the arab french? What is your job? Do you have the chance to speak with any relevant player?
>>67891568
have contact*
>>67891568
>>67891582
I'm totally french, and unfortunately I can't really meet the players, unless they come in our office.
Players have a separate lounge and the access is highly restricted, only a very few people can actually meet them.
I'm in charge of TV channels informations (logistics, informations, web platforms), so I can maybe get some sneak peeks of the interview rooms, but I never tried. At least I can access most of the courts (on the best seats) as much as I can, makes my lunch break much more enjoyable !
>>67891307
how do the players deal with not knowing exactly when their match starts?
are they practicing or chilling in a waiting area?
are they together or alone and focused?
is it like the olympic village where if they are knocked out they stay around and start fucking amongst the athletes?
>>67891659
what do you do for the other 50 weeks of the year?
>>67891659
is it a part time job where when the slam isn't on you don't go there every day? obviously with like a lot of preparation leading up to the slam
what happens after the slam like there has to be a big period where not much is happening? is the venue being used for other things and this is just the really big one?
>>67891672
The national training center is very close to the stadium, it contains training courts and lounges players can use anytime, we also have other lounges and player only areas.
Most of them practice at least 4 hours per day, I guess the rest of the time is gym, massage and cryobath (I don't remember the name).
And about knocked out players, I didn't see roger federer around so I guess they go straight back to training for the next tournaments to come
>>67891692
>>67891721
The stadium is indeed empty for the rest of the year, which is a shame, I admit it.
But we also prepare other tournaments, like BNP Paribas Masters, and many other minor tournaments (ATP 500, 250, etc) in France, also Davis and Fed Cup.
So this is a full time job, Roland-Garros takes at least 7 months to be prepared, so between the grand slam and the BNPPM, it never really stops
>tfw functional and responsible adults post in this literal thread
>>67891746
that's a nice amount of time, easy to forget they play like every day
>>67891799
i like that a lot, if it was only temporary i imagine things would be much more difficult both for the people employed but also for when you need to work towards making an event happen, now you can have these teams with people who all know each other and have a lot of job security
sounds comfy man don't fuck it up
>>67891836
Well actually I'm just an intern (still a student) and my job ends in the end of june ;)
But yeah tennis events happen all year long and it's the federation's job to support that, and it's going quite well for now, some people have been working here for more than 27 years and know so many gossips about players and the tennis world in France and abroad, it's always interesting to talk with them when you're somewhat interested in the sport
>>67891914
>and know so many gossips about players and the tennis world in France and abroad
e.g.?
>>67891836
Yeah I could watch them training sometimes, they even play friendly matches to practice, I remember watching nadal vs goffin or berdych vs nishikori, but only for practicing, and it was already going quite hard
>>67891948
For example, Gasquet had the potential to be world #1 but his surroundings were fucked up, not to mention tthe fact he was sleeping in his mother's bed until he was 18 while the father was sleeping on the couch (I never checked that fact desu), or some more basic stuff like Federer is boring as fuck, murray is unbearable, but nadal is a fucking good guy, he knows many people in the offices here, calls them by their first name and so on
>>67892014
Wew.
>>67892028
There are many things I don't remember also, but as anywhere else, you always have gossips about everybody, we even saw Djoko meditating in the national training center, that was impressive, he spent 15 minutes without making a single move, even with many people around him, I like him but he seems so obsessed with performance, must be hard for the family
>>67892089
I sincerely don't buy this meditation crap. How did you get into this job anyway?
>>67892014
Murray is a cool guy. Just don't think it comes across cos of language in France. But his humour is very subtle. Fed is boring as fuck. Kek Gasquet. Inbred and cuck. Nadal is a qt
>>67892128
I mean unbearable when he plays and get angry because he's losing, then he's complaining about everything
>>67892117
Well I'm not into this either, but I guess it's all in the focus a high level players needs to have.
And I just applied on the french federation website, they regularly post job offers when the tournament comes up. They hire dozens (hundreds ?) of people between march and may to work during the tournament, only 345 people work there all year long
>>67892128
But yeah I saw him having fun during practices, but I feel like he gets easily angry and then he hates the entire world and is complaining about everything, but it's just frustration
>>67892014
>tthe fact he was sleeping in his mother's bed until he was 18 while the father was sleeping on the couch
hahahaha holy shit wtf
>>67892014
>he was sleeping in his mother's bed until he was 18 while the father was sleeping on the couch
da fugg
>murray is unbearable
really? He seemed so chill from his Twitter and interviews.
this has given me a good insight about gasquet, no wonder he can't play consistent tennis
>>67892276
yeah but he also has a serious temper and seems like he could go off at any time
>>67892014
>but nadal is a fucking good guy, he knows many people in the offices here, calls them by their first name and so on
NADAL IS OUR GUY
vamos rafa
btw your "job" sounds comfy. wouldn't mind having it

He meant on court he's unbearable.
Rafa out. Might as well give the trophy to Andy.
>>67893758
lol
Who /djokovic/ here?
Tennis may be djokovicwinslol, but the much more interesting contest is between Djokovic and Fedal for the love of the fans.
As an autismo neckbeard, I have to feel for the guy. He thought that if he just wins enough tennis, people will love him as much as they loved Federer or Rafa, so he turned himself into a perfect tennis machine, but it's never enough for them, because being good at something won't make you likeable.
>>67894610
I loved Djoko from 2008-14 now he's king. Gotta support the underdog.
