😭💔 Poor Matteo B seriously cannot catch a break with injuries. Devastated.

Absolutely heartbreaking 💔

he’s clearly too good looking to be healthy all the time as well

It's so sad.
I do love the camaraderie amongst the Italian men. Not sure how much it extends to Sinner though.

I don’t think it does. Musetti in particular doesn’t seem to be a massive fan of him. Maybe the others are closer because of their shared language and German speaker Sinner is a bit of an outcast?

yeah i think it’s tricky for people from tyrol (and the surrounding regions) because they’re so heavily german/austrian in origin and usually quite fair and so they don’t get seen as “real” italians (not even basing this on sinner himself, just other things i’ve read about it!) - it must be quite ostracising for him.

i find sinner’s relationship with his italian-ness really interesting though and wish he spoke about it more (though get why he doesn’t!)

Cobolli and Mensik have impressed me the most on the men’s side this tournament, I’d love if they could play the final against each other.

So sad for Kostyuk, was hoping for a match like the Madrid's final. Curious what got into her, she has been on fire for weeks :(

I hope for a Mensik-Cobolli final too !

Dominic Paris (skier) is from the Sud Tyrol and he is embraced by the Italian team and population.

I wasn't aware of this at all, and it explains a lot. Thanks for the info. 🙂

that’s okay! 💙 it wasn’t aimed at your post or anything at all, it’s just a thing i find interesting about him, especially with him also moving away from the winter sports that are more popular in that region. i would love for him to do a proper interview about it but 🤣

I don't think anybody had Maja Chwalinska making the final of the French Open. Fair play to her.

I’ve heard him speak German (with German interviewers, not ones from Tyrol) and he’s quite sassy tbh 😁 that doesn’t come across at all when he speaks English for example and maybe also not when he speaks Italian.

The 114th tennis player against the 6th in final is funny (but great imo, love an outsider). Edit : it's also great to see someone much shorter than "the norm" and with a different style

Apparently she was short of 2000euros during the qualification and stressed about paying bills and now on saturday she will for sure win 1+ million (2+ if she wins the final).

And yet she is still going to have to go through the qualifiers at Wimbledon due to the rankings being set prior to Roland Garros unless they give her a wildcard.

What a great ladies final we’ve got. I like them both but I’d like to see Mirra win.
