It’s been a long time since I last posted here, and I am back to say that Donal Trump needs to fuck right off with his Monroe doctrine, and fuck right off of Latin America.
Fuck Trump and his enablers.
I find it fascinating, and honestly a little infuriating, that so many people have so many negative things to say about any men’s tennis outfit that doesn’t follow the very strict norm, going so far as even body shaming in a “joking” manner.
That’s why men’s fashion is so scared of trying.
Hello Twitter friends! This is fully not tennis related, but recently I started a YouTube channel with a friend back in Brazil: he develops games, and I play them!
It would mean a lot to us if you could like and share this 😊

Won’t put this on Twitter/X because that’d be a headache, but too many people out there comparing Sinner’s ban to Djokovic’s decisions during the pandemic. Novak missed two slams and Sinner will miss none.
But the cases aren’t analogous or similar in any way. They’re fundamentally different.
João Fonseca.
Puta que pariu, viu? 😤🇧🇷
Fuck, even when he’s bad, Fonseca’s SO good.
That’s the concept I was thinking of, exceptionalism - and yes that’s exactly right. Just like conspiracy theories.
Let me also be clear here: this isn’t a generalization of ALL peoples living in the US. It’s a comment mostly about Trump, what he represents, and the people who put him there - voters and politicians included.
And you know, there’s many other countries with similar history, with China still promoting heavy nationalism which they use as a tool to claim ownership over Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the way it exists in the US is just… weird? It’s stuck up, condescending, and in many ways ignorant.
I think that one of the stupidest things about Canada becomes the “51st state” is that the whole of this one state would be larger that the entire US altogether.
I love the US in many aspects, but gosh their “chosen people” history of imperialism is disgusting.
Let’s gooo big win for Denis Shapovalov!!
First Top 10 win since 2022 (since beating Fritz himself in Vienna)
. @andrerolemberg.bsky.social shares some thoughts post Australian Open before the whole Tennis and Bagels team sits down to review 2025's first major!

After seeing some of Zverev’s match against Paul and Djokovic, I really don’t see how he can walk out with the trophy. He’s playing an uninspiring, passive, boring brand of tennis and has relied solely on timely good serves and chokes from his opponents to win. A level-headed Sinner takes this easy.
Gauff completely imploded in these pst couple games. Seems to have conformed to be playing badly. Maybe the heat has something to do with it (it looks unbearably hot on that court)
Tough losses in Grand Slams probably feel like the saddest possible thing that could happen to someone in sports. Maybe only topped by World Cup and Olympics losses.
Yea it’s not looking great 😓
Oh man, plenty of injury retirements these past couple of days, plus Krejcikova withdrawal from AO.
Pretty rough start of the year.
Reseted my Instagram algorithm and now am getting moon landing denial videos. What the fuck is wrong with social media.
Glorious hair era
It’s such a boring and frustrating narrative.
Yuuuup
Imo you can’t start comparing until they’re realistically close to breaking any of their records. We’re nowhere near. So let them make their own history!
Zverev’s pretty much only got himself to blame for not winning a GS yet, and I actually think there’s poetic justice in this
It’s refreshing - not about history books, but about tennis on the court.
What I find exciting about the next couple of years of tennis is that we are switching focus from the record breakers to the new stories. It’s not about which is the next all-time record to be broken, it’s about who are going to be the next players who will play the next best matches of the decade.
João Fonseca, man. That kid is AWESOME.
Top 50 2025 At LEAST.
If he’s not knocking on the door to Top 10 by 2026 I’ll be surprised (though it’s quite some time and anything can happen. Wait and see, and hope)
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I seriously am completely flabbergasted at Trumps decision to pick on Canada of all places.
Why does he hate borders so much??
Always a blast to talk tennis with Steve Flink
So many 2024 ATP topics covered on this ⬇️
We’re coming back, and now we have a plan! 😜
Hoping the new season of Tennis & Bagels will be a lot of fun and good tennis talks :)
