Sascha: hi guys! happy new year!

Sascha: I’ve decided to make a top10 chat to celebrate my 300+ weeks in the top10

Bearvedev: so you’re just bragging basically

Sascha: don’t be mean Daniil

Rublo: this sounds like a very bad idea Sascha

Sascha: what?? why?

Imnotrude: probably because the top10 is constantly changing? what do you do when one of us leaves the top10?

Sascha: well… obviously you leave the chat

Sascha: or… well… you get removed

Sascha: and replaced

Rublo: that is just evil

Taylornotswift: what do we need this chat for anyway?

Sascha: to chat?

Sascha: we are the best players in the world we should be friends

Bearvedev: … sure

Janthefox: hi guys!

Demon: I like the chat I just hope I can stay here for long

Nole99: You know we had a top10 chat once

Nole99: It didn’t go too well

BigG: I remember

Carlitos 🐝: I’m so excited to make friends with you guys!! :)))

Bearvedev: you know Sascha

Bearvedev: you are insufferable

Rublo: nole is telling you it’s a bad idea but you persist

Bearvedev: typical Russian genes

Rublo: Засранец

Bearvedev: Мудак

Sascha: stop swearing in Russian

Sascha: I’m German

Bearvedev: sure

Sascha: also Demon likes the idea so we’ll keep the chat

Imnotrude: what happens when you lose a final to Jannik and we congratulate him on here?

Imnotrude: won’t you feel very bad?

Janthefox: that’s very specific

BigG: what do you know Casper?

Imnotrude: everyone is losing a final to Jannik if he continues to play like last year

Carlitos 🐝: not me >.<

Janthefox: you’re one of a kind Carlos

Carlitos 🐝: you make me blush >.<

Taylornotswift: ??

Sascha: well in the remote eventuality that that happens, you congratulating Jannik will make me more motivated

Janthefox: ♥️

Bearvedev: yes sure

Bearvedev: let’s just wait and see

Carlitos 🐝: does anyone want to train with me this week?

Janthefox: we’ll see each other at the AO we can train together there?

Carlitos 🐝: yesss XD

Bearvedev: it’s been ages since I’ve seen someone use “XD” and mean it

BigG: me too

Demon: I’ve just finished United Cup, but I would love to train with you Carlos

Rublo: I think you’re too late Alex

Demon: :(

Chapter Text

Imnotrude: Taylor congrats on winning the United Cup!

Imnotrude: you and Coco were great!

Taylornotswift: thank you Casper

Taylornotswift: we are trying to make America great again

Rublo: …

Taylornotswift: calm down I’m just joking

Rublo: congrats I guess

Rublo: Dasha and I really wanted to participate

BigG: Kasatkina?

Rublo: yep

Rublo: but I was playing Hong Kong

Rublo: also we can’t

Taylornotswift: well Coco and I are too good

Taylornotswift: we would’ve won against the two of you too

Demon: I thought Olivia and I were a good team

Demon: but then my own girlfriend contributed to eliminating me

Bearvedev: I don’t watch the United Cup but this is hilarious

Bearvedev: wasn’t Zverev also playing this tournament

Sascha: I was

Sascha: but I didn’t play the QFs

Taylornotswift: so you basically made Germany lose all by yourself

Sascha: I want to be prepared for the AOs, I don’t care that much about the United Cup

Bearvedev: see you don’t care about Germany

Bearvedev: you are Russian

Taylornotswift: you know, it doesn’t matter

Taylornotswift: I would’ve defeated you too Zverev

Taylornotswift: that’s the level I was playing at this week

Imnotrude: well you’ve actually defeated him quite a lot last year

Bearvedev: that’s true

Bearvedev: Sascha saw Taylor in the draw and fled

BigG: ahah

Sascha: shut up Medvedev

Demon: at least one good thing came out of this United Cup for me

Demon: I surpassed you in the rankings @rublo 😂

Bearvedev: that’s embarrassing

Rublo: you don’t have to announce every change that happens in the rankings

Rublo: I mean

Rublo: it’s not like I left the top10

Sascha: тупица

Bearvedev: weren’t you German?

Sascha: shut up

Rublo: Jannik is more German than you

Carlitos 🐝: but Jannik is Italian !! XD

Rublo: I know

Rublo: that was the joke

Janthefox: it was funny Andrey! ♥️

Rublo: stop being so nice

Rublo: why are the two of you so nice

Carlitos 🐝: because it’s nice to be nice :)

Demon: why is it embarrassing that I’m higher in the rankings than Andrey?

Demon: @bearvedev ?

Imnotrude: 😂😂

BigG: Daniil you’re cooked

Taylornotswift: I hate this chat

Nole99: Told you!

Bearvedev: Alex it wasn’t anything against you

Bearvedev: I was trying to make fun of Andrey

Bearvedev: I mean

Bearvedev: I’m sorry

Demon: …

Imnotrude: I actually love this chat

Sascha: SEE?

–

Imnotrude: OH MY GOD DANIIL

Imnotrude: your baby was born and you didn’t tell us?

Imnotrude: congrats my friend!

Rublo: he’s now a father of two

Rublo: he needs a good check at the Australian Open to keep his kids alive

Sascha: so you are playing?

Sascha: you just had a baby

Bearvedev: you know I was not the one giving birth right?

Sascha: ah ah so funny

Janthefox: congrats Daniil!

Bearvedev: thank you Jannik

Bearvedev: and Andrey wasn’t kidding I need a good check

Bearvedev: so if we meet in the final again… you owe me

Janthefox: ahah

Janthefox: okay

Chapter Text

Sascha: so when are you guys playing your AO R1 matches?

Sascha: I played yesterday!

Imnotrude: me too

Bearvedev: you can check this information on the internet

Bearvedev: or you can look at the draw

Bearvedev: my point is you don’t need to ask us

Bearvedev: some of us have trainings to do

Bearvedev: some of us have to feed newborn babies

Bearvedev: never thought about that?

BigG: that was a lot Daniil

Rublo: yeah you could have just answered with one word

Rublo: it would have taken you 2 seconds of your time

Bearvedev: shut up

Bearvedev: just wanted to say WE DON’T NEED THIS CHAT

Imnotrude: so when do you play?

Bearvedev: on Tuesday

Imnotrude: see? wasn’t so difficult, was it?

Sascha: I keep writing here because I’m trying to make friends

Sasha: let’s be friends

Taylornotswift: idk man

Taylornotswift: that’s not how you make friends

Taylornotswift: I mean you don’t beg your coworkers to hang out with you to make friends

BigG: Taylor has a point

Nole99: I’m older than you so I can teach you one thing

Nole99: In life you don’t need friends

Nole99: You need admirers

Imnotrude: …

Rublo: I don’t know about that

Carlitos 🐝: I think friends are very important

Carlitos 🐝: and having friends on tour is so much fun!

Carlitos 🐝: since we spend so much time on tour anyway

Sascha: see Carlos gets it

Taylornotswift: I agree with him but I already have friends on tour

Bearvedev: yeah

Bearvedev: everyone does except for Sascha

Bearvedev: so who’s the real problem?

Janthefox: nell’altro senso lui è veramente bello

Janthefox: però è difficile, capito?

Rublo: why are we speaking Italian in this group now

Janthefox: I’M SORRY THE TEXTS WERE MEANT FOR ANOTHER CHAT! SORRY!

Demon: who were you chatting with

Janthefox: Sonego :)

Bearvedev: Mr Gruntman in person

Bearvedev: see even Sinner “the robot” has friends

Imnotrude: Jannik is a very good guy of course he has friends

Imnotrude: and he’s certainly not a robot

Janthefox: thank you Casper 😊

Bearvedev: yeah exactly but Sascha is not a good guy

Bearvedev: that’s why he doesn’t have friends

Sascha: I hate you

Carlitos 🐝: Jannik what do you mean with “lui è veramente bello”? who is muy guapo??????

Janthefox: don’t worry about it 😇

Taylornotswift: these two are so

–

Carlitos 🐝: Grigor :((

Carlitos 🐝: I’m sorry you had to retire :((

BigG: yeah I couldn’t play

BigG: I’m sorry too

BigG: I thought I could have done a good tournament

Janthefox: :((

Janthefox: I hope you recover soon

BigG: could you do something in my honor?

Rublo: absolutely friend

Rublo: what should we do?

BigG: retire from your matches

Carlitos 🐝: XD

Imnotrude: 😂😂

Rublo: will do

–

BigG: well Andrey you weren’t kidding

Bearvedev: congrats Grigor you’re making all the top seeds fall

BigG: so you’re next?

Bearvedev: don’t even try

–

BigG: Daniil do you believe me if I say I’m sorry?

Rublo: at least he reached R2

Bearvedev: Grigor I’m going to kill you

Bearvedev: I have called the Russian mafia

Bearvedev: they’re watching you

Sascha: ahahah

Bearvedev: oh no I made Zverev laugh

Bearvedev: this is the worst thing that has happened to me today

Sascha: сволочь

Rublo: how do you even know that word lmao

Bearvedev: and he tells people he’s not Russian

Bearvedev: sure

Sascha: when I win this tournament you will have to kiss my ass Medvedev

Bearvedev: you will never win a slam so okay

Sascha: я тебя ненавижу

Rublo: хахаха

Taylornotswift: don’t know what’s happening but rooting for Daniil and Andrey

Bearvedev: you’re a real one Taylor

Nole99: Don’t listen to them Sascha!

Nole99: Keep believing!

Sascha: thank you Novak!

Chapter Text

BigG: well this is my last week in this chat!

BigG: at least for a while

Rublo: noooo

Imnotrude: you will be missed Grigor

Bearvedev: yeah

Bearvedev: who’s moving in the top10?

Sascha: it depends on how these AOs go

Taylornotswift: no I think it’s Tommy Paul for sure

Sascha: not another American…

Imnotrude: well he’s one of the last seeds standing

Taylornotswift: he’s so gonna make my life a living hell in this chat

Taylornotswift: Fs for me thanks

Demon: F

Carlitos 🐝: F

Janthefox: F

Demon: you guys are lucky to be out already

Rublo: not really

Bearvedev: I lost SO MANY points man

Demon: yeah I get it but

Demon: if I reach the QFs…

Demon: I’m already shaking with fear

BigG: well, Jannik has been playing at a scary level since October

Janthefox: oh you were talking about me Alex?

Demon: OBVIOUSLY

Demon: I’M VERY SCARED OF YOU

Janthefox: I’m not that scary 😄

Taylornotswift: sure…

Demon: you unleash all your power against me

Demon: I don’t know what to do anymore

Demon: @carlitos 🐝 that’s why I need a training session with you

Carlitos 🐝: I’m actually a bit scared about my next match too

Imnotrude: Novak is always scary

Nole99: I’m flattered to hear that!

Rublo: этот парень сумасшедший

Bearvedev: he really is

Carlitos 🐝: the Olympics had me a little traumatized >.<

Janthefox: you can do it Carlos!

Janthefox: this is a different surface and you’re one of the best players in the world

Janthefox: just reset

Carlitos 🐝: thank you Jan ♥️

Carlitos 🐝: and good luck for your match too :)

Imnotrude: you guys are so cute

Imnotrude: the future of this sport is so bright

Sascha: c’mon they are about to make me puke

Sascha: also if you couldn’t beat him on your favorite surface what makes you think you can beat him on hard

Sascha: which is Novak’s favorite surface

Janthefox: because Carlos is very good on hard courts too!

Sascha: he only wins against you

Rublo: 6-3, 6-1 Indian Wells 2024

Sascha: that was a very bad day for me

Sascha: it doesn’t count

Bearvedev: it’s always a very bad day for you

Bearvedev: you’re getting boring Sascha

Bearvedev: Carlos is 21 he can still improve

Bearvedev: can’t say the same about you

Sascha: shut up

Carlitos 🐝: thank you for your motivation guys!

Carlitos 🐝: I’ll try my best

[Sascha removed BigG]

[Sascha added Tommypol]

Imnotrude: SASCHA ARE YOU KIDDING

Imnotrude: I wanted to know

Imnotrude: couldn’t you wait a few seconds?

Sascha: you jinxed it when I made the chat

Imnotrude: well

Imnotrude: I’m sorry

Imnotrude: at least you reached the final

Imnotrude: and weren’t brutally murdered in R1/2 like the rest of us

Rublo: Даниил Сергеевич Медведев.

Bearvedev: извини

Taylornotswift: am I the only one that’s scared seeing them speaking in Russian?

Tommypol: nah it’s just your indoctrinated American brain

Taylornotswift: that makes sense

Imnotrude: see @sascha I’m not the only one jinxing things

Sascha: you jinxed ME tho

Sascha: that’s much worse

Imnotrude: someone should check if Meddy is alive after this 😂

[Sascha removed Janthefox]

Carlitos 🐝: WHAT

Carlitos 🐝: why did you remove him?

Sascha: haven’t you heard about his ban?

Carlitos 🐝: yes but he’s still in the top10!

Sascha: sorry but while he’s not playing he doesn’t need a players chat

Imnotrude: that’s very mean Sascha

Imnotrude: I think he’s already going through a tough time

Imnotrude: it could be better with our support

Sascha: well I don’t support him

Bearvedev: you won’t become #1 in his absence

Bearvedev: you’re too much of a loser

Sascha: Иди на хуй

Carlitos 🐝: what does that mean?

Rublo: you don’t wanna know

Taylornotswift: another kind person leaving the chat

Taylornotswift: only dicks remain

Rublo: you’re a dick too Taylor

Tommypol: well technically he does have one

Carlitos 🐝: I’m gonna miss Jannik :((((

Sascha: c’mon you’re not really gonna miss Jannik right?

Sascha: you can become #1 too

Carlitos 🐝: well I’ve already been #1 once

Bearvedev: yeah me too

Bearvedev: you’re the only loser Sascha

Sascha: shut up

Imnotrude: I’m going to miss Jannik on tour too

Imnotrude: he’s so nice

Imnotrude: and his father’s tiramisu is to die for

Taylornotswift: that’s TRUE

Taylornotswift: it’s the best one I’ve ever tasted

Tommypol: you say that as a tiramisu expert right?

Taylornotswift: yeah obviously

Nole99: I’m glad you removed Sinner Sascha

Nole99: This should be part of his ban so he will learn to be more careful!

Sascha: thanks Novak!

Nole99: You will make a great #1!

Sascha: 🙏🏻

Bearvedev: enough with this unserious wishful thinking

Bearvedev: let’s talk about serious stuff

Bearvedev: @sascha what the fuck are you doing on clay

Bearvedev: in South America

Rublo: right?

Imnotrude: it’s obvious

Imnotrude: he can become #1 on his favorite surface

Imnotrude: nobody else is there

Sascha: nah that’s not it it’s a sponsor thing

Bearvedev: Casper you’re onto something

Sascha: shut up

Sascha: stop thinking about me and start thinking about the fact that you’re leaving the top10 soon

Sascha: and not winning anything in more than a year

Tommypol: yo that’s harsh

Taylornotswift: Zverev you’re an asshole

Taylornotswift: I hate this chat

Taylornotswift: mean spirited Russians + Tommy Paul

Tommypol: yo what did I do to you?

Imnotrude: I’m not either of those things

Imnotrude: and neither is Carlos

Taylornotswift: the only good people on here

Taylornotswift: I’m gonna start missing Jannik too

Carlitos 🐝: WELCOME TO THE CLUB :)

Rublo: Danya are you gonna let Sascha own you like that?

Nole99: Sascha was only motivating him!

Bearvedev: I don’t need to

Bearvedev: I have a Slam

Bearvedev: I’ve been #1

Bearvedev: and I’ve beaten the best in the world to do it

Bearvedev: I’ve not played clay court 250 during hard court season to reach it

Bearvedev: we are not the same

Taylornotswift: woooo

Tommypol: OWNED HIM

Sascha: I’m regretting this chat

Sascha: hate you all

Sascha: c’mon man

Carlitos 🐝: I’m really motivated to play when he’s around

Carlitos 🐝: I also really don’t like all this pressure I’m feeling on me

Sascha: but you are n3

Sascha: I should be the one feeling the pressure

Sascha: and I am feeling it

Sascha: but it’s a good thing

Sascha: you are more focused on winning with pressure

Bearvedev: I don’t know

Bearvedev: not everyone thrives under pressure

Rublo: yeah

Nole99: I do!

Bearvedev: yes Novak we know

Bearvedev: but it’s important to remember that mental health is more important than anything

Bearvedev: and even if everyone expects you to win and you can’t win

Bearvedev: it doesn’t mean you are a bad player, and most importantly, you are not a bad person

Bearvedev: I joke around a lot with Zverev but you know

Bearvedev: we are all incredibly talented players, no matter if you ever win a slam or ATP finals or whatever

Bearvedev: the most important thing is to be true to yourself and have fun playing

Rublo: Danya :)

Imnotrude: Daniil that was beautiful

Imnotrude: you are a really good person

Demon: I needed that Daniil thank you

Taylornotswift: incredibly well said Daniil

Tommypol: agreed

Carlitos 🐝: you are right Daniil thank you 😊

Tommypol: also Carlos you already got 4 slams man you already a goat

Carlitos 🐝: I am a goat ?

Taylornotswift: lmao

Sascha: I don’t know if I agree 100% with what Medvedev said

Sascha: but I appreciate you admitting you’re just joking with me

Bearvedev: most of the times I am…

Bearvedev: but sometimes…

Sascha: why do you always have to ruin everything

Carlitos 🐝: I still miss Jannik tho :(

Carlitos 🐝: and now I can’t even talk to him

Demon: you do know you can write to him?

Demon: private chats exist

Bearvedev: yeah man

Bearvedev: I’m sure Jannik will appreciate a text from a friend right now

Taylornotswift: a special friend 😉

Carlitos 🐝: yes he’s special!

Carlitos 🐝: he’s world n.1!

Taylornotswift: sure that’s what I meant

Carlitos 🐝: okay I will write!

Carlitos 🐝: I’ll let you know :)

Imnotrude: tell him we all miss him!

Sascha: not true

Imnotrude: shut up

Sascha: Casper

Sascha: that was pretty rude of you

Sascha: you should change your nickname

Tommypol: I think he wasn’t rude, you were

Demon: I agree

Demon: Casper is an actual sweetheart leave him be Zverev

Sascha: I was just joking!

Bearvedev: sure

Carlitos 🐝: Jannik says he misses you guys too

Carlitos 🐝: he says he’s planning to do fun stuff in these three months and that we are welcome to join him 😊

Demon: I wish! we are so busy on tour

Imnotrude: I’d like that

Imnotrude: I hope we can organize something

Carlitos 🐝: he also says he will miss playing with me 🥹

Carlitos 🐝: and that he wants to go out for coffee sometimes

Bearvedev: I think that was meant to be a private text

Carlitos 🐝: oh >.<

Taylornotswift: kids these days…

Tommypol: we are the champions my friend

Sascha: fuck you I’m German

Bearvedev: sure, sure

Rublo: and that you don’t have friends in the chat

Bearvedev: tell him Andrey!

Sascha: I can’t go out if it means putting my career in danger!

Bearvedev: strange I really thought you would go

Bearvedev: since your clay swing went sooo well

Rublo: c’mon Daniil

Rublo: don’t be too mean

Tommypol: yeah you could make fun of Taylor for example

Taylornotswift: what does this have to do with me I did not play on clay

Demon: so everyone is training with you except me

Imnotrude: 😂😂

Sascha: what do you want from me Daniil

Sascha: it’s not like you’re playing much better than me

Sascha: I’m longing to remove you from this chat can’t wait honestly

Bearvedev: you will never get rid of me

Bearvedev: even if I drop out of the top10

Bearvedev: I’m the voice inside your head

Bearvedev: your consciousness

Tommypol: it’s just food poisoning

Tommypol: it happens to the best of us

Bearvedev: Sascha is mad with power and removed him from the chat because he says if he’s banned he should be banned from the chat too

Bearvedev: you know, our amazing world number 2 who just did a fantastic south American swing

Stef ☀️: that’s…

Stef ☀️: it sounds like something Sascha would do

Sascha: you’re an asshole Daniil

Sascha: you also lost early in Dubai

Sascha: to Griekspoor no less

Bearvedev: Griekspoor? the one who always kicks your ass in matches but then is too scared to close them out? that Griekspoor?

Bearvedev: proud to have lost to him

Bearvedev: and not to a small cat like you

Sascha: you are so

Sascha: you know what?

Sascha: let’s see who’s really good here at Indian Wells

Bearvedev: некоторые люди здесь любят его

Rublo: черт, я забыл

Sascha: stop speaking in Russian

Taylornotswift: what are they saying

Stef ☀️: you guys know I know Russian right

Bearvedev: I thought you couldn’t read

Bearvedev: you don’t seem that literate

Stef ☀️: fuck you Daniil

Carlitos 🐝: you guys don’t seem to like each other very much 😵‍💫

Carlitos 🐝: shouldn’t we be friends?

Bearvedev: in Sascha’s dreams

Taylornotswift: this chat is a nightmare

Taylornotswift: I’m missing Tommy Paul for fuck’s sake

Nole99: I had warned you!

Imnotrude: oh right Novak

Imnotrude: can you tell us what happened then?

Nole99: I have to train right now, I’m sorry

Nole99: Maybe another time

Imnotrude: okay I can wait

Imnotrude: I guess

–

Sascha: well I’m definitely cursed

Sascha: this isn’t possible

Bearvedev: so yeah I think Indian Wells already showed who’s the better player between us!

Bearvedev: losing to Griekspoor of all people…

Sascha: сукин сын

Sascha: can’t wait to remove you from here

Sascha: it’s gonna be soon

Bearvedev: that won’t help you win a slam or become n1!!

Rublo: you guys c’mon

Imnotrude: no don’t stop them Andrey I’m having fun 😂

Demon: you’ve made Casper become sadistic

Rublo: that’s Daniil Medvedev and Sascha Zverev for you

Bearvedev: we are just having fun

Bearvedev: it’s our way to say we love each other

Sascha: Какой же ты ебанько

Bearvedev: see? he just said he loves me

Carlitos 🐝: wow I love to learn new languages!

Carlitos 🐝: I just can’t understand the Russian alphabet

Carlitos 🐝: you can teach me maybe?

Stef ☀️: Carlos that doesn’t mean I love you

Stef ☀️: don’t trust them please

Rublo: I’m a better teacher than them

Rublo: I’ll teach you when we practice

Carlitos 🐝: OKAY 😊

Demon: I can’t even offer you language lessons while we train the only languages I know are English and Spanish

Demon: it’s not fair :(

Imnotrude: I can teach you Norwegian

Imnotrude: Norsk er veldig enkelt

Carlitos 🐝: YES 😊

Nole99: Good job Carlos, it’s important to learn a lot of languages

Carlitos 🐝: thank you Novak 🤩

Bearvedev: no I’m only mean to Sascha and Stefanos

Stef ☀️: you know what

Stef ☀️: I have to say

Stef ☀️: he’s becoming better with me too

Stef ☀️: maybe it’s because he’s getting old

Bearvedev: thank you for the insult Stefanos

Stef ☀️: how is that an insult it’s the truth

Stef ☀️: you are getting older

Bearvedev: well okay you’re right

Stef ☀️: Alex listen to me

Stef ☀️: the greatest battles are fought within. win those, and you win everything.

Bearvedev: here he is again with his incredible philosophical speeches

Demon: I don’t really understand what I have to fight

Sascha: Stefanos what are you saying

Carlitos 🐝: I like his philosophy, he’s so smart!

Bearvedev: he really isn’t

Bearvedev: he just copies things he finds on websites like philosophicalquotes.com

Bearvedev: or something

Stef ☀️: you fool

Stef ☀️: you just can’t stand me being smarter than you, can you?

Bearvedev: you wish

Rublo: Stefanos was also saying good luck to Danya for his next match

Imnotrude: no way

Carlitos 🐝: maybe they are becoming friends!

Rublo: it’s incredibile

Rublo: they are in front of me right now

Rublo: they seem to be very very friendly

Rublo: maybe too friendly even?

Taylornotswift: what?

Rublo: …

Rublo: okay I’m going away I feel like a creep

Demon: what did you see Andrey?

Sascha: stop talking about those two we don’t care

Taylornotswift: speak for yourself Zverev

Taylornotswift: Morgan and I care

Sascha: this chat wasn’t made to gossip

Nole99: Right!

Sascha: it was made to make friends

Taylornotswift: I don’t know how you wanna make friends with people by insulting them all day long but okay

Imnotrude: 😂😂😂

Sascha: hate you

Bearvedev: Андрюша

Bearvedev: замолчи

Rublo: I didn’t say anything

Stef ☀️: nothing happened friends!

Stef ☀️: we just discovered we have something in common after all this years :)

Taylornotswift: uh-uh

Imnotrude: yeah you’re not fooling me

Imnotrude: Andrey, what were they doing?

Rublo: 🤐

Demon: 😕

Bearvedev: sure grandpa let’s get you to bed

Sascha: so we finally have a totally new face in this chat

Sascha: hi Jack congrats on your win

Imnotrude: what a run my man!

Rublo: you are lowkey very scary right now Jack

Bearvedev: lowkey? I’d say breadsticking Alcaraz is highkey scary

Rublo: congrats on your first big title!

PrinceD: thanks mate!

PrinceD: happy to be here

PrinceD: feeling like a proper top player lately

Carlitos 🐝: as you should! you were great!

PrinceD: still took a bagel from you Carlos lol

Carlitos 🐝: that’s part of the process 😊

Bearvedev: congrats Draper

Bearvedev: you are surely more welcome in this chat than the person that made it

Sascha: you never stop being an asshole don’t you

PrinceD: oh so you straight up bully people on here

PrinceD: I love it

Stef ☀️: congratulations Jack

Stef ☀️: happy to have another handsome fella in here 😉

Bearvedev: what

Bearvedev: what is that wink

Bearvedev: and are we not handsome

Bearvedev: what are you implying Stefanos

Imnotrude: this is too good

Taylornotswift: thought without Sinner on here we wouldn’t see love quarrels but I was wrong

PrinceD: Jannik is not here?

Carlitos 🐝: what is a love quarrel

Carlitos 🐝: who is Jannik in love with ????

Taylornotswift: oh god

Stef ☀️: Daniil you are acting crazy

Stef ☀️: even blind people can see how handsome Jack is

PrinceD: thank you ????? I guess

Bearvedev: you are embarrassing him

Bearvedev: and me

Sascha: what is happening here

Nole99: Why is everyone in this group acting like this.

Rublo: чего он хочет

Nole99: I understand Russian you know

Rublo: yes

PrinceD: is nobody going to tell me why Jannik isn’t in here?

PrinceD: @Imnotrude can you?

PrinceD: just glanced at the top10 and you look like the only sane and trustworthy person in here

Imnotrude: I’m glad you trust me Jack

Imnotrude: Sascha removed him because of his ban

Imnotrude: it was a very unilateral decision

PrinceD: got it thank you mate

Taylornotswift: I don’t understand what’s going on between Tsitsipas and Medvedev but Morgan loves it

Taylornotswift: I think she likes this chat more than me

Taylornotswift: I told her I wanted to leave it and she got really scary and yelled at me not to

Rublo: my man

Rublo: I’m sorry

Imnotrude: I totally understand her

Imnotrude: I live for the drama too

Carlitos 🐝: @Imnotrude who is Jannik in love with?

Imnotrude: do you guys think I’m Google or something?

Imnotrude: I don’t know Carlos

Carlitos 🐝: 😔

–

PrinceD: what is this curse on the Indian Wells semifinalists in Miami?

Carlitos 🐝: yeah I would like to know too

Bearvedev: I fear that was Zverev’s doing

Rublev: it’s not only the semifinalists

Rublev: unfortunately

Bearvedev: the fact that Stefanos was the last one standing in this chat

Bearvedev: until tonight

Stef ☀️: 😢

Stef ☀️: I tried my best

Taylornotswift: no he wasn’t ???

Bearvedev: I was only considering the important players you know

Stef ☀️: are you really saying you consider me

Stef ☀️: important??

Stef ☀️: that is so sweet of you Danya

Taylornotswift: I know this was meant to be a dig at Zverev but it kinda hurts

Taylornotswift: also not going to talk about that nickname Stefanos just used but sending Morgan a screenshot

Imnotrude: yeah Daniil I thought we were friends :(

Bearvedev: Casper I’m sorry

Bearvedev: just coping with another loss

Bearvedev: making fun of Zverev is the only good thing left for me

Bearvedev: I’m also probably leaving the top10 after this tournament so

Bearvedev: you know

Rublo: WHAT

Rublo: you’ve been in the top10 forever

PrinceD: c’mon mate

PrinceD: I've been in the chat for two minutes and you're already leaving

PrinceD: no time for me to enjoy that Zverev bullying

Sascha: you guys are obsessed with me

Nole99: See Sascha? They are admirers!

Sascha: I’m personally really enjoying this Daniil downfall

Sascha: he’s losing to Munar on a fast hard court

Sascha: truly impressive

Sascha: can’t wait to remove you from this chat

Sascha: and I hope I never have to add you back

Bearvedev: you are going to miss me so much

Bearvedev: I’m your grip on reality

Bearvedev: and when you are surrounded by new younger faces in this chat

Bearvedev: you are going to miss the good old times when I was here

Rublo: this is too much

Rublo: you don't even know if you are leaving the top10

Rublo: and even if you do you are probably going to be back in here in like two weeks

Bearvedev: don’t interrupt my dramatic exit

Chapter Text

Bearvedev: so now that this is officially my last week in this chat

Bearvedev: (how did this happen I was like n.5 two months ago)

Bearvedev: I want to do something special before I leave

Bearvedev: one last thing together with my friends in the top10

Bearvedev: any ideas?

Rublo: you know we can see each other even if you are not in the chat anymore, right?

Bearvedev: yes but it’s easier to organize when I’m here

Bearvedev: also I had a lot of fun when we went out in Rotterdam

Carlitos 🐝: I’m already in Montecarlo tho :(

Bearvedev: I’m also in Europe!

Carlitos 🐝: oh that’s great!

Carlitos 🐝: I was thinking about going karting with Jan

Carlitos 🐝: he said he’s going later this week and he wanted some company 😊

Carlitos 🐝: I’ll ask him if you can come!

Bearvedev: Carlos… I think he wants to go out with you

Bearvedev: I mean only with you

Bearvedev: not with us

Carlitos 🐝: you think so?

Bearvedev: he asked you, didn’t he?

Carlitos 🐝: oh well he just texted me and said that he’s happy if you come too!

Rublo: should we impose ourselves on the two lovebirds?

Stef ☀️: I love karting!

Stef ☀️: I would love to come!

Bearvedev: of course you’re coming Stef

Bearvedev: I mean if you really want to…

Taylornotswift: Daniil you’re not fooling anyone

Taylornotswift: fuck I really wanted to be there to see the drama

Taylornotswift: why did you decide to do this when I’m finally doing well at a tournament

Taylornotswift: this is TaylorandMorganphobic

Imnotrude: also Casperphobic

Imnotrude: can you imagine the tension in the room?

Taylornotswift: Morgan is going feral

Taylornotswift: she just scolded me for not losing to Sonego like ??

Imnotrude: 😂😂😂

Carlitos 🐝: Jan said we will go on the 27th, is it okay?

Bearvedev: perfect

Rublo: should I come and be a third wheel?

Taylornotswift: @rublo you have to go and give me inside information

Rublo: is @princeD coming? Jack?

PrinceD: yes mate

PrinceD: doing it for you

Rublo: thanks 🙏

PrinceD: also I’ve already been karting with Jannik before

PrinceD: he destroyed me last time

PrinceD: I have to get back at him this time

Carlitos 🐝: oh so you go karting with Jan?

PrinceD: yeah we went once or twice

PrinceD: it’s fun

PrinceD: he’s also friends with some F1 driver, and invited Leclerc once

PrinceD: that lad can race I’m telling you

Carlitos 🐝: ah

Taylornotswift: I’m starting to see why Morgan is furious this is incredible

Taylornotswift: jealousy, drama, F1 drivers

Imnotrude: cinema

Carlitos 🐝: okay Jan said we can go 😊

Carlitos 🐝: he made a reservation

Nole99: Have fun guys!

Bearvedev: translated – have fun being losers while I win the tournament

Nole99: 😂

Bearvedev: @sascha aren’t you jealous this time?

Sascha: not really I don’t like karting

Sascha: also I’m a tennis player and I’m winning tennis matches

Sascha: unlike you

Bearvedev: та же Старая история

Bearvedev: you are no fun

Sascha: проигравший

–

Imnotrude: so guys?

Imnotrude: did you go karting?

Bearvedev: yes we did

Bearvedev: and we had a lot of fun

PrinceD: Jannik destroyed me again by the way

Carlitos 🐝: Jan was sooo cute 😊

Carlitos 🐝: he taught me a lot of things 😊

Rublo: they were unbearable

Rublo: but Stefanos and Daniil…

Stef ☀️: what?

Rublo: they just couldn’t shut up

Rublo: always screaming at each other

Rublo: I’m starting to think what I saw two weeks ago was a hallucination

Stef ☀️: yeah because Daniil has a god complex and I can’t stand him

Bearvedev: I DO ???

Bearvedev: what about YOU

Rublo: fuck

PrinceD: not again

Imnotrude: I thought they were friends now

Taylornotswift: Morgan says they are in a situationship

Taylornotswift: whatever that means

Nole99: I don’t really understand this generation

Sascha: you are not the only one Novak

Bearvedev: can I just say something

Imnotrude: what?

Bearvedev: we can’t keep doing this

Bearvedev: we can’t keep letting Djokovic reach finals at 50 yo

Taylornotswift: blaming this on SebiKorda

Taylornotswift: can’t blame Grigor because he was literally standing on half a leg during the semifinal

Imnotrude: Korda was also injured and played through a wrist injury

Taylornotswift: fuck

Sascha: you brats

Sascha: instead of congratulating a champion for reaching another final

Sascha: you complain

Sascha: and now he’s going to win his 100th title!

Nole99: Thank you Sascha!

Bearvedev: you know I hate to say it

Bearvedev: (I truly truly hate it)

Bearvedev: but you are right Sascha

Bearvedev: Novak I’m sorry I was rude to a champion like you

Bearvedev: to a goat like you

Bearvedev: that has won as many slams as you have

Nole99: Thank you Daniil

Nole99: You are a good kid

Bearvedev: from now on I will only be rude to Sascha

Bearvedev: who was enjoying my downfall

Bearvedev: but hasn’t won anything at all this year

Sascha: I can’t stand you

–

Bearvedev: sorry Novak this was Zverev’s fault

Rublo: he really killed you with that message lmao

Imnotrude: that kid Mensik is really good tho

Imnotrude: won’t be surprised if we see him in this chat in a few months

PrinceD: he is

PrinceD: and also I feel better about losing to him in straights

PrinceD: it was his tournament

PrinceD: it was meant to be

Carlitos 🐝: Fonseca is also very good!

PrinceD: yeah he is

Stef ☀️: all these new faces

Stef ☀️: they make me feel old

Stef ☀️: and I’m not that old

Bearvedev: you are old Stef

Bearvedev: we are

Bearvedev: the 90s era is finished

Bearvedev: we are never winning another Slam

Sascha: speak for yourself

Sascha: I was just in a Slam final

Bearvedev: yeah exactly

Bearvedev: just as I said

Carlitos 🐝: don’t be so hard on yourselves!

Carlitos 🐝: you are still young!

Bearvedev: I have two children

Bearvedev: I couldn’t be older if I tried

Bearvedev: Novak is the only one that doesn’t want to understand how old he is

Nole99: Age is just a number

Nole99: And my favorite number right now is 100!

Bearvedev: … what the hell, sure

Rublo: Daniil ahah

Imnotrude: you are making me sad Daniil

Imnotrude: but I still believe in us

Imnotrude: we can still do it!

PrinceD: yeah mates c’mon

PrinceD: it’s still your time

Bearvedev: well

Bearvedev: okay I guess

Bearvedev: not Sascha’s tho

Sascha: маленькое дерьмо

Chapter Text

Sascha: this is the happiest day of my life

Sascha: I’m about to remove Daniil Medvedev from this chat

Bearvedev: damn man what an unhappy life you have then

Sascha: shut up

Rublo: Даня

Rublo: возвращайся скорее :(

Stef ☀️: I’m going to miss you Danya

Bearvedev: thank you Stef but we can always talk

Bearvedev: we don’t need this horrible chat that was made by a washed player

Stef ☀️: true

Imnotrude: c’mon the chat is not that bad ahah

Carlitos 🐝: I love it!

Bearvedev: I also kind of liked it in the end

Bearvedev: I think I’m going to miss this chaos

Nole99: It may be fine now, but bad things could be awaiting.

Imnotrude: that is very creepy Novak

Imnotrude: I'm so curious about the old chat

Sascha: I'm not

Imnotrude: :(

Stef ☀️: Daniil always remember

Stef ☀️: a new page doesn’t erase the story. it adds to it

Bearvedev: … I guess ?

Bearvedev: anyway

Bearvedev: I’m going to come back

Bearvedev: but until then

Bearvedev: I’m going to haunt Sascha’s dreams

[Sascha removed Bearvedev]

[Sascha added Demon]

Sascha: welcome back Alex!

Imnotrude: Alex it’s good to have you back!

Imnotrude: see it’s only been a couple of weeks!

Imnotrude: you were good in Miami!

Demon: thank you Casper!

Demon: the Italians really have my number lately

Demon: I thought it was just Jannik but apparently it’s Berrettini as well

Taylornotswift: don’t worry Alex

Taylornotswift: Matteo was playing out of his mind I just barely made it through him

Taylornotswift: while Jannik… well he’s Jannik there’s not much you can do against him

Taylornotswift: it’s not an Italian curse (I think)

Taylornotswift: but now for the most important question

Taylornotswift: did you actually train with Carlos?

Demon: I…

Demon: well I didn’t 😭

Demon: Carlos lost pretty early and he went away

Demon: he said he had forgotten about our practice 😭😭

Carlitos 🐝: sorry Alex I did forget >.<

Carlitos 🐝: but we will train in another tournament!

Demon: yeah I hope so 😵‍💫

Stef ☀️: since Miami Open is over…

Stef ☀️: it’s time for the best surface!!

Stef ☀️: finally!!!

Imnotrude: I’ve been waiting for this moment 🙏🏻

Carlitos 🐝: I love playing on clay 😊

Sascha: I also like clay very much

Sascha: and I hope I can’t get revenge in June this year…

Carlitos 🐝: against me?

Sascha: obviously

Sascha: I was so close to that fucking trophy

Sascha: I want it

Sascha: I deserve it

Nole99: You will get there eventually Sascha!

Nole99: Use these masters to prepare and you’ll do very well!

Sascha: that’s what I intend to do, thank you Novak

Carlitos 🐝: I hope I’m injury free this clay season so I can play my best tennis 🙏

PrinceD: I hope I can get a few good wins on clay this year

PrinceD: last year was pretty disastrous

PrinceD: but I think I proved myself this year

PrinceD: I can do this!

Imnotrude: sure you can Jack!

Imnotrude: I also would like a good run in a clay tournament this year

Imnotrude: maybe winning a Master?

Imnotrude: is that too much to ask?

Rublo: no

Rublo: I want the same

Rublo: I won a clay master 1000 for two years in a row now

Rublo: I want to make it three

Demon: everyone has big ambitions for this clay season

Demon: winning RG, masters

Demon: I just want to train with Carlos and I don’t want to lose R1 matches

Demon: that’s it

Demon: and let’s not forget that Jannik is coming back in Rome

Demon: that means that after Rome I’m never seeing the light again

Taylornotswift: I get it man, but c’mon you are too scared of Jannik now

Demon: have you seen our h2h?

Taylornotswift: yeah it's tough

Taylornotswift: but he’s not THAT good on clay

Taylornotswift: you might have a shot

Imnotrude: I’d say he’s pretty good

Imnotrude: he couldn’t play most of last clay season, but he got a few big wins

Taylornotswift: yeah, but I mean, he’s not going to double bagel you on clay, right?

Taylornotswift: he’s not that insane

Stef ☀️: he lost to me last year!

Imntorude: yeah but Stef

Imnotrude: you are insane in Montecarlo

Imnotrude: you turn into prime Rafa in there

Taylornotswift: you know who’s very scary on clay?

Taylornotswift: Carlos

Carlitos 🐝: >.<

Imnotrude: by the way

Imnotrude: is any one of you playing the clay 250s this week?

Imnotrude: in Morocco or in that weird USA clay?

Stef ☀️: absolutely not

Stef ☀️: I’m preparing for my moment to shine in Montecarlo!

Carlitos 🐝: I’m so happy I can also play Montecarlo this year!

Stef ☀️: oh shit

Stef ☀️: I have no chance of winning this tournament this year, have I?

Taylornotswift: I’d say you have a very high chance of losing it

Sascha: don’t worry Stefanos it’s not like your presence in this chat is tied to this particular trophy

Sascha: right?

Stef ☀️: …

Stef ☀️: well…

Demon: good luck my friend

Stef ☀️: 🥲

Chapter Text

Sascha: hi guys

Sascha: can I entertain you with a game this week

Sascha: while we wait for our tournament to start?

Carlitos 🐝: oh that should be fun!

Imnotrude: I’m interested

Rublo: I guess?

Demon: let’s do it!

Taylornotswift: I’m not playing this tournament I’m injured

Taylornotswift: can I still play the game?

Sascha: sure Taylor

Taylornotswift: also before I agree

Taylornotswift: what is this game

Sascha: a game like the ATP media day ones

Stef ☀️: quick Sascha I have to go practice

Stef ☀️: I’m practicing 3x more so I can be in perfect shape when I play with Carlos

PrinceD: aren’t you going to get tired though?

Stef ☀️: nah don’t worry

Stef ☀️: I never get tired in Montecarlo

Sascha: wait but you can only (eventually) play with Carlos in the final

Sascha: are you so sure of reaching it?

Stef ☀️: I’m not playing bad at all this year

Stef ☀️: I can do this

Sascha: sure

Sascha: winning Dubai and then flopping is “playing well” now

Stef ☀️: Danya would surely defend me if I was still here

Stef ☀️: what would he say

Imnotrude: something like

Imnotrude: “look who’s talking, do I have to remind you of your South American swing?”

Imnotrude: and then Sascha would say “at least I’ve been in a slam final this year, can’t say the same about you”

Imnotrude: something like this

Rublo: and then Daniil would reply “yeah at least I had break points against Sinner when I played him in a slam final. and won 2 sets”

Rublo: and then Sascha would say “at least I didn’t spend 24 hours on court to reach the final”

Sascha: this is all very specific

Sascha: and also very real (unfortunately)

Taylornotswift: Casper Andrey what the hell

Taylornotswift: that was so accurate I thought Daniil was back for a second

PrinceD: missing that old but gold Daniil bullying

Stef ☀️: I showed Daniil the texts and he says you guys did a good job

Stef ☀️: but he would have been meaner

Taylornotswift: are you guys together?

Stef ☀️: well yes

Taylornotswift: @imnotrude told you

Taylornotswift: you owe me 25$

Imnotrude: wait

Imnotrude: @stef ☀️ do you mean you are physically together? in the same room?

Stef ☀️: yes, I told you

Stef ☀️: we are at the bar next to the gym

Stef ☀️: Daniil just finished his match

Stef ☀️: you can come if you want to

Imnotrude: no don’t worry

Imnotrude: @taylornotswift the bet is still on

Taylornotswift: fuck

Sascha: what is this bet

Rublo: why didn’t you guys let me participate in it

Imnotrude: because you already know important information but won’t tell us

Carlitos 🐝: didn’t we have a game to do?

Sascha: right Carlos, thank you

Sascha: so in this game I’ll write some emojis, and you have to “decode” them

Sascha: are you ready?

Rublo: sure

Sascha: first round

Sascha: 🇩🇪 🏆 🇲🇨

Demon: Germany defeats Montecarlo

Nole99: I don’t think Germany and Montecarlo were ever at war with each other

PrinceD: I just checked on Google and apparently they occupied Monaco for 4 years during WWII

Sascha: what are you talking about

Sascha: why would I ever make an emoji rebus about a 4 year occupation of Montecarlo by Germany

Sascha: are you crazy

Taylornotswift: I know what it means

Taylornotswift: Germany is winning in Montecarlo

Sascha: close

PrinceD: Germany wins the Montecarlo tournament

Sascha: okay I’ll give you a hint

Sascha: it’s not Germany, it’s a German player…

Stef ☀️: Struff wins Montecarlo!

Sascha: …

PrinceD: don’t you think it’s bad luck to say you will win a tournament Sascha?

PrinceD: Jannik taught me to be a bit superstitious

PrinceD: Italians are incredibly superstitious

Sascha: I'm not

Sascha: well since nobody answered correctly

Carlitos 🐝: WAIT I KNOW THE ANSWER

Carlitos 🐝: Zverev wins Montecarlo!

Taylornotswift: I don’t think you are going to but alas

Imnotrude: I want to try one!

Imntorude: guess

Imnotrude: 🐂 🐐 🔴

Taylornotswift: is that a bull?

PrinceD: a red ball?

Rublo: something about Christmas maybe?

Imnotrude: you guys are soooo far away from the answer

Carlitos 🐝: I KNOW

Carlitos 🐝: Rafa is the goat on clay ?

Imnotrude: YES good job Carlos

PrinceD: that was impossible

Rublo: how the hell did you get THAT from those emojis

Carlitos 🐝: it was easy >.<

Taylornotswift: is there anything this guy can't do?

Stef ☀️: I’ll do one too!

Stef ☀️: 🦊 🏆 🇦🇺 😢

Stef ☀️: Daniil sent this with my phone while I was deciding

Carlitos 🐝: I think it’s “Sinner won the Australian Open and Zverev cried” or something?

Stef ☀️: yes! you are very good at this game Carlos

Carlitos 🐝: thank you 😊 I love using emojis!!

Sascha: 😠

–

PrinceD: Montecarlo is always so fast

Demon: that’s because it’s only one week long

Sascha: no it’s because you always lose early

PrinceD: don’t need to be so mean lad

PrinceD: besides, I lost in the third round and you lost in the second

Stef ☀️: my adventure in Montecarlo has come to an end

Stef ☀️: gone are the days of fame and fortune

Stef ☀️: but I know that the secret isn’t to avoid the storm, it’s to build an umbrella that doubles as a parachute

Rublo: what the fuck does that mean

Imnotrude: I don't think he knows either

Carlitos 🐝: wait does that mean you are out of the top10? :(

Stef ☀️: unfortunately I am

Stef ☀️: but I am confident I can come back

Imnotrude: you are right not to be discouraged Stef

Imnotrude: clay season is just starting!

Imnotrude: also Musetti is playing pretty well so losing to him doesn't mean you are not playing well!

Imnotrude: @taylornotswift do you have him in the top10 this year?

Imnotrude: last time you made a good prediction with Jack

PrinceD: so I owe my top10 spot to you Taylor?

Taylornotswift: basically yes

Taylornotswift: I don’t know with Lorenzo…

Taylornotswift: I’m watching a lot of tennis since I’m at home recovering

Taylornotswift: and he’s playing pretty well indeed

Taylornotswift: he’s very talented but he can be inconsistent… I’m torn…

Taylornotswift: final prediction

Taylornotswift: he’s entering the top10

Demon: oh no

Demon: I have to play him in the semis

Demon: why is there always an Italian man on my path to a final

Demon: what have I done to deserve this

Rublo: the Italian mafia is doing this to prevent you from winning titles

Demon: 😵‍💫

Chapter Text

PrinceD: Carlos! congrats! you’re already pretty scary on clay this year

Rublo: enhorabuena amigo

Rublo: back to n2 in the world

Imnotrude: incredible clay court player!!

Imnotrude: congrats friend!

Taylornotswift: congratulations!

Taylornotswift: I don’t think anyone is beating Carlos on clay this year

Taylornotswift: Musetti was playing like a god and he couldn’t

PrinceD: he probably got injured because he was forcing himself too much

Taylornotswift: yeah I don’t think it’s anything too serious

Demon: he truly was playing like a god

Demon: fuck he’s also very good on clay

Demon: I don’t have a good track record with Italians

Demon: congrats Carlos by the way!

Demon: we couldn’t play together in the final

Demon: this time it was my fault

Stef ☀️: congratulations Carlos

Stef ☀️: I told you that you’d reach the final

Stef ☀️: I just wanted to reach it with you

Stef ☀️: but it’s okay, lose your ego, find your peace

Nole99: Enhorabuena Carlos!

Nole99: The new prince of Montecarlo

Carlitos 🐝: thank you everyone 🤩

Carlitos 🐝: Stefanos was right Montecarlo is soooo much fun!

Carlitos 🐝: I feel soo good on clay this year I can’t wait for the next tournaments 😊

Taylornotswift: so what you are saying is

Taylornotswift: we’re fucked

Imnotrude: completely and utterly

Carlitos 🐝: >.<

Sascha: congratulations Carlos

Sascha: @stef ☀️ what I am about to do is entirely your fault and I hate it

Stef ☀️: I’m sorry I tried my best 😢 goodbye everyone

Sascha: goodbye

Sascha: come back soon

Sascha: or someone else

Sascha: let’s leave this person out of the top10 for a longer time please for my sanity

[Sascha removed Stef ☀️]

[Sascha added Bearvedev]

Bearvedev: hello dear friends

Bearvedev: it’s so good to be back

Bearvedev: I couldn’t leave you for too long

Bearvedev: especially my dearest friend @sascha

PrinceD: so glad you are back lad

PrinceD: I’m your biggest fan

Bearvedev: thank you Jack

Imnotrude: we missed you Daniil

Sascha: you are only back because Stefanos flopped

Bearvedev: and I thank my beautiful Greek friend for doing that

Rublo: друг? или парень?

Bearvedev: Андрюша…

Imnotrude: @taylornotswift use google translate

Rublo: no don’t please

Rublo: he’s going to kill me

Bearvedev: I’m going to do it anyway don’t worry Andrey

Taylornotswift: @imnotrude WHAT THE FUCK

Sascha: I don’t care that you're back

Sascha: you are going to flop this week

Sascha: and you are going away again

Bearvedev: I’m not even playing this week

Bearvedev: everybody is welcome to surpass me if they can

Sascha: I hope they do

–

Carlitos 🐝: @princeD Jack I saw you in a video with Jannik!!

Carlitos 🐝: how is he?

PrinceD: he’s great he can’t wait to be back

PrinceD: I very much enjoy training with him

PrinceD: also he’s bloody ripped now

PrinceD: very fit

Carlitos 🐝: oh well

Carlitos 🐝: qué bueno saberlo

Demon: 😂

Rublo: Carlos ahah

Carlitos 🐝: why do you all know Spanish that’s not fair

Carlitos 🐝: you can have your secrets in Russian but I can’t?

Sascha: basically everyone understands Russian in this chat to be honest

Sascha: also you can google translate stuff you know?

Sascha: so Sinner is training now?

Sascha: he’s coming back in Rome, isn’t he?

PrinceD: yep

PrinceD: don’t think he will be scared of a home crowd

Demon: he’s already prepared to kill us all when he comes back

PrinceD: truly, yeah

PrinceD: he was a little rusty at first but he’s just too good

Demon: basically the same as when I trained with him in January

Imnotrude: oh so you have trained with Jannik this year?

Demon: yes

Demon: but I also want to train with Carlos 😭

Carlitos 🐝: I promise we will in Madrid maybe?

Carlitos 🐝: but you know we have to play each other in the next round in Barcelona XD

Demon: unfortunately I do

Demon: I’m soooo going to lose

Bearvedev: everyone is killing each other on court and then there is Sascha

Bearvedev: who ran away to Germany so he could be the only top10 player and scam a title

Sascha: obviously I’m playing in my home country

Sascha: since I’m German

Bearvedev: sure

Sascha: why should I play in Spain

Bearvedev: because you don’t have Carlos Alcaraz there

Sascha: as if I could never win with Carlos

Sascha: I can beat him

Bearvedev: we will never know for sure

Demon: what we do know is that I can’t

Demon: but I’m going to try 😵‍💫

-

Sascha: guys it's a special day

Rublo: why?

Bearvedev: because he plays a final after 200 years

Sascha: I played a slam final this year can't say the same about you

Sascha: but anyway

Sascha: that's not the reason

PrinceD: do we have to guess?

Taylornotswift: I don't know I give up

Taylornotswift: I'm a bad guesser

Sascha: it's my birthday.

Imnotrude: oh my god Sascha sorry

Imnotrude: happy birthday!

Demon: happy birthday <3

Taylornotswift: happy birthday man

Taylornotswift: have a fun day

Bearvedev: you didn't wish me a happy birthday

Bearvedev: but since I'm a better person than you

Bearvedev: С днем варенья

Rublo: happy birthday Sascha

PrinceD: happy birthday!

Carlitos 🐝: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Carlitos 🐝: do you have a birthday wish?

Sascha: obviously my birthday wish is to win the title tonight

Demon: you shouldn't say it

Demon: it may not come true if you say it

Sascha: it will. 

Nole99: Happy birthday Alexander 🎂

Sascha: thank you Nole it's an honor to recieve birthday wishes from a legend like you

Bearvedev: no need to do all that he sends the same exact text to everyone on their birthday

Sascha: shut up

Demon: it's true he sent that to me as well

Sascha: I don't care mine is more special

Bearvedev: if you say so...

Chapter Text

Rublo: Carlos :(

Rublo: are you okay?

Rublo: being injured during a final sucks

Carlitos 🐝: yes it does 😞

Carlitos 🐝: I probably won’t be able to play Madrid as well 😞

PrinceD: I’m sorry mate, hope you recover soon

Nole99: You can do it Carlos you are young!

Carlitos 🐝: it seems like you are always younger than us Novak!

Imnotrude: true

Demon: the recovery he made with his knee last year was impressive

Rublo: magical

Sascha: yeah sure Carlos lost but

Sascha: you guys know that someone won something last Sunday, right?

Bearvedev: yeah we know that someone won a tournament where he was the only top10 player

Bearvedev: congratulations for winning the tournament hosted in your backyard exclusively for you!

Sascha: must be difficult congratulating someone when you haven’t won a tournament in years

Carlitos 🐝: congratulations for your title Sascha!

Nole99: Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

Rublo: поздравления

Sascha: thank you Novak for congratulating me in my native language, unlike Andrey

Rublo: xaxaxa

Imnotrude: congrats Sascha

Demon: congratulations mate!

PrinceD: congrats

Taylornotswift: good job Zverev

Sascha: thank you everyone 😊

Sascha: this is what this chat was made for

Bearvedev: to congratulate you?

Sascha: yes

Bearvedev: that is so...

Imnotrude: I'm not going to comment on the reason this chat was made but

Imnotrude: I will use it to make an announcement

Imnotrude: since I lost in the QFs

Imnotrude I’m unfortunately out of the top10

Imnotrude: I don’t know if I will be back

Imnotrude: I will miss all of you and all the drama and all the love quarrels

Imnotrude: @taylornotswift please continue to give me precious info about you know what

Taylornotswift: fuck Casper

Taylornotswift: we can’t lose you

Taylornotswift: you are the most interesting and caring and kind member of this chat

Demon: I’ll miss you here mate

Demon: hope you will be back soon

Rublo: Casper :(

Rublo: first I lose Daniil now I lose you

Bearvedev: I’m back in the chat ??

Bearvedev: but I guess I will probably have to leave soon so I understand your sentiment

Bearvedev: goodbye Casper!

PrinceD: we are losing the ancient members here

Sascha: that is not very kind Jack Casper is not ancient

Bearvedev: he’s not but you are

Sascha: you are older than me

Bearvedev: no Slam no opinion

Sascha: I SWEAR TO GOD

Imnotrude: I’m going to miss this banter 💔

Imnotrude: you know what

Imnotrude: before I’m removed from this chat

Imnotrude: I really wanted to ask Novak about the old top10 chat

Imnotrude: @nole99 I only know that Rafa made it in 2018

Imnotrude: Grigor told me last time I asked

Imnotrude: what happened next?

Nole99: Oh it’s a long story

Imnotrude: I don’t think I have a lot of time but I really want to hear it

Nole99: I’ll start

Nole99: In October 2018, when Rafa made the chat, he was world number 1

Nole99: After being added to the chat Roger was furious

Imnotrude: what? why?

[Sascha removed Imnotrude]

[Sascha added Shortyshorts]

Nole99: Oh well I guess I’ll wait for him to come back to the chat to tell the story

Demon: what if he doesn’t tho 😭😭

Nole99: You are right, I forget that people don’t just stay in the top10 forever

Bearvedev: what the hell

Sascha: what are you guys talking about

Sascha: you don’t have to talk about the old chat

Bearvedev: why don’t you want us to?

Sascha: because we have to talk about our friend Holger Rune being in the top10 again!

Shortyshorts: what is this

Shortyshorts: I don’t want to be in a chat with you

Shortyshorts: you are already sending too many texts for me

[Shortyshorts left the chat]

[Sascha added Shortyshorts]

Sascha: c’mon Holger give the chat a chance

Sascha: you will like it!

Shortyshorts: ugh

Shortyshorts: I guess

Shortyshorts: I’ll give it a try

Shortyshorts: but I won’t like it

Carlitos 🐝: Holger! I’m so happy you are here >.<

Shortyshorts: you shouldn’t

PrinceD: always so pleasant

Shortyshorts: always so stuck-up

PrinceD: love you lad

Shortyshorts: love you too

Rublo: I really don’t understand this generation

Bearvedev: me neither

–

Shortyshorts: first match as a top10 player this year and I already have to retire

Shortyshorts: is this the Madrid curse once again or is this chat cursed?

PrinceD: probably both

Carlitos 🐝: why is Madrid so cursed though

Carlitos 🐝: I really want to play in Spain :(

Bearvedev: last year was insane everyone was injured

Bearvedev: and Andrey won while he had a very high fever

Rublo: I liked Madrid last year!

Taylornotswift: I’m sure you did

Sascha: let’s see what this year’s Madrid brings us

Sascha: I’m confident

Demon: I’m not

Demon: but let’s try

Chapter Text

Taylornotswift: why is this tournament always cursed

PrinceD: it’s insane

Bearvedev: last year it was all injuries but I wasn’t expecting a total blackout in all of Spain this year

Bearvedev: what is happening

Rublo: you should save your battery life friends

Rublo: we don’t know when electricity will be back

Sascha: what do you need electricity for Andrey?

Sascha: to see your free fall in the live rankings?

Sascha: defending champion OUT against a bum

Rublo: тупой мудак

Rublo: Bublik is crazy you never know what to expect from him

Taylornotswift: just saw the score

Taylornotswift: why did you bagel him in the middle of two 6-4 ??

Rublo: he’s so

Rublo: I can’t stand him

Bearvedev: Sascha you are so unsufferable it’s incredible

Shortyshorts: I hate Spain

Shortyshorts: why don’t they have electricity

Rublo: it’s not always like this ??

Carlitos 🐝: ay Holger

Carlitos 🐝: don’t say mean things about Spain :(

Demon: this is a good opportunity to do stuff we like and never do

Demon: because we are so addicted to our phones

PrinceD: I’ve never experienced anything like this

PrinceD: I don’t know what to do

Nole99: Why don’t you read a book?

PrinceD: reading a book…

PrinceD: I guess I can do that…

Sascha: tennis players reading

Sascha: now I've seen it all

Demon: I actually like reading very much!!

Demon: I recommend you Stolen Focus it’s a great book about how our generation is slowly losing its ability to pay attention to things!!

Sascha: Alex

Sascha: no one is going to read that

Rublo: I might

Rublo: I like reading too

Bearvedev: I also love reading

Bearvedev: I usually read thrillers

Demon: we should do a reading club!

Bearvedev: let’s do it

Bearvedev: who wants to be in it?

Nole99: I will join your club!

Rublo: me!!

Shortyshorts: no thank you

PrinceD: I can’t

PrinceD: I’ve read a bit of my book

PrinceD: but I really can’t concentrate on it

Taylornotswift: how much of it did you read?

PrinceD: something like 10 pages

Rublo: you really need Demon’s book then

Demon: 😂

–

PrinceD: FINALLY ELECTRICTY IS BACK!!

Shortyshorts: I’m so happy I can finally go in the hotel’s hot tub

Shortyshorts: to celebrate my birthday

Rublo: best way to celebrate

Rublo: + happy birthday :)

Carlitos 🐝: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOLGER

Bearvedev: happy birthday!

Taylornotswift: have a good birthday Holger

Sascha: happy birthday

Sascha: enjoy it without anything to do since you lost early

Shortyshorts: I actually retired but okay

Nole99: Happy birthday Holger 🎂

Rublo: the magical cake emoji I hope I can receive it too one day

Demon: if you can believe it you can do it

Demon: happy birthday Holgie :)

Shortyshorts: what is that

Shortyshorts: it's like me calling you Alexie or something

Demon: that is cute :)

Shortyshorts: ugh

PrinceD: happy birthday lad

PrinceD: Spain terminated their blackout exclusively for you

Shortyshorts: I know I'm too important

Taylornotswift: what did you do yesterday without any electricity?

Carlitos 🐝: I went to the park with my brother and we played card games

Carlitos 🐝: it was a lot of fun 😊

Sascha: I don’t understand how Spanish people could be so unbothered by what happened

Sascha: I was going crazy

Demon: they are just chill like that

Demon: that’s why I love them

Rublo: same

Taylornotswift: Morgan and I also went to the park

Taylornotswift: we had a picnic

Taylornotswift: it was cute

Sascha: yeah but it’s back to business now

Sascha: I have to play today

Sascha: let me concentrate and stop writing here

Shortyshorts: why tf did you make this chat if you don’t want people to use it

Bearvedev: that’s a great question Holger

Sascha: I do want people to use it

Sascha: but not right now

Rublo: what does “tf” mean

Taylornotswift: nothing good

Shortyshorts: @sascha you can just mute the chat like I do

Shortyshorts: out of sight out of mind

Sascha: I guess I'll do that

–

Sascha: why is Lorenzo Musetti lowkey having the best clay court season this year?

Bearvedev: him and Fokina

Bearvedev: and obviously Carlos

Shortyshorts: not acknowledging the only player to beat Carlos on clay this year…

Shortyshorts: you are jealous

Sascha: he was injured but okay

PrinceD: I’m also having a good clay season I reckon

Rublo: you are Jack

Rublo: certainly better than mine

Bearvedev: don’t worry Andrey

Bearvedev: you will always be better than Zverev

Bearvedev: who said we couldn't write on here because he had to concentrate and then lost

Sascha: you can speak but you are leaving the top10 again next week

Sascha: I’m having the last laugh!

Bearvedev: nobody cares

Sascha: Daniil and Andrey probably leaving next week this is exciting

Sascha: we’ve never had a double change in this chat

Sascha: also

Sascha: are we about to have two Italians in the top10?

Carlitos 🐝: that is great 🤩

Carlitos 🐝: I love Italians!!!!

Rublo: it's great that me and Daniil leave the chat?

Rublo: also I almost forgot we already have one Italian in the top10 since he’s not been here for a while

Taylornotswift: same

Carlitos 🐝: nooo Andrey I didn't mean it like that sorry >.<

Rublo: no te preocupes Carlos

Rublo: solo estaba bromeando

Carlitos 🐝: 💛

Demon: I don’t love Italians they are mean to me

Demon: I mean I actually like them but they bully me on court

Demon: I don’t know what to do

Carlitos 🐝: I can teach you a few tricks!

Carlitos 🐝: I will be back in Rome we can train!

Demon: I’m refusing to believe this

Demon: there will surely be something bad that happens

Demon: and we won’t be able to train

Demon: I know that already

Taylornotswift: poor Alex

Carlitos 🐝: Alex I promise!!

Carlitos 🐝: and you know who else is returning in Rome????? 🤩

Carlitos 🐝: JANNIK!!!!!!!!!

Sascha: I’ll pretend I don’t know that

Demon: I’m fed up with Italians please free me

Taylornotswift: #freeAlex

Nole99: I do understand Italian!

Nole99: We can speak in German or Russian if you want Sascha

Sascha: I’m not Russian

Imnotrude: (in Daniil’s voice) sure

Carlitos 🐝: you can speak in German with Jan!!!

Janthefox: es wäre mir eine Freude!

Sascha: no thanks

Shortyshorts: there’s no such language as “Scandinavian”

Shortyshorts: but I understand you are very ignorant Zverev

Sascha: 😒

Imnotrude: another 00s in the top10 btw

Imnotrude: where are the old people (90s gen)

Taylornotswift: here

Taylornotswift: but I think other youngsters are coming for our places

Sascha: they will have to kill me

Shortyshorts: Musetti is Zverev’s daddy too

Shortyshorts: like Fritz

Shortyshorts: oh sorry wrong chat

Sascha: …

Imnotrude: who were you sending those to

Shortyshorts: a groupchat

Shortyshorts: with the 00s top10 players

PrinceD: much better than this one btw

Sascha: I’m still wondering why did I make this chat

–

Demon: hello!

Demon: just wanted to say

Demon: I FINALLY TRAINED WITH CARLOS

Demon: thank you Rome thank you Carlos thank you Italy thank you clay

Demon: I don’t know who else to thank

PrinceD: good job lad!

Imnotrude: congrats friend ahah

Imnotrude: I know how much you wanted this

Taylornotswift: should we be scared of you now?

Demon: I hope so!

Taylornotswift: you know I really love Rome

Taylornotswift: one of my favorite cities in the world

Taylornotswift: the draw ceremony was in front of the Trevi’s fountain it was crazy

Imnotrude: yeah it’s sooo pretty

IlMagnifico: I like it too but Florence… ❤

PrinceD: Florence is beautiful but it doesn’t have the Colosseum!!

Taylornotswift: Jack Draper, always thinking about the Roman Empire

Shortyshorts: do you guys think about the Roman Empire a lot?

Janthefox: should we?

IlMagnifico: Jannik non conosci il meme?

Janthefox: no

Shortyshorts: sometimes I think Jannik is a hundred years old

Janthefox: I do too

Carlitos 🐝: I also love Rome 😊

Carlitos 🐝: Jan showed me all the cool places the other night

Janthefox: we had a lot fun

Carlitos 🐝: YES WE DID 🤩

Carlitos 🐝: I’m so excited to play here this year

Carlitos 🐝: we had a good training session @demon didn’t we?

Demon: absolutely

Demon: I was out of breath almost all the time but it’s okay

Taylornotswift: feel you @demon I trained with Jannik and he was insane

Taylornotswift: and he didn’t play for three months

Janthefox: I was not insane ahah

Taylornotswift: you were

Imnotrude: so Taylor are you not going to comment on Jannik and Carlos having a romantic date on Carlos birthday

Taylornotswift: I mean we can talk about it in the other chat

Demon: what chat

PrinceD: the chat where we talk about the bet

Carlitos 🐝: a bet?

Imnotrude: it's actually two bets

Taylornotswift: don't worry about it Carlos

Sascha: Rome is amazing because I’m the defending champion!

Sascha: and I’ll win it once again!

Shortyshorts: *crickets*

PrinceD: Holger ahahah

Sascha: I will show you

Chapter Text

IlMagnifico: guys what was your strangest start after a rain delay?

IlMagnifico: yesterday I had to train and all just to serve a match point because the day before we couldn’t finish the match

IlMagnifico: it was so funny

Imnotrude: oh god ahah

Imnotrude: I’m sure it was

PrinceD: I don’t think I would handle that situation well

PrinceD: just one point on your serve

PrinceD: a lot can go wrong

Carlitos 🐝: I have experienced a weird delay

Carlitos 🐝: a small black and yellow delay 🐝

Janthefox: ahah

Janthefox: that was truly an incredible reason for a delay

Imnotrude: some tennis delays make for the best sports graphics

Imnotrude: minutes since Djokovic started playing the violin on court –> 22

Nole99: I don’t think I've ever played the violin on court

Demon: 

Nole99: Oh you mean that violin

Imnotrude: yep ahah

Nole99: But I usually play at the end of a match so that doesn’t count

Shortyshorts: oh god it was just a joke let it go

Imnotrude: no need to be rude Holger

Shortyshorts: I can’t be bothered by all of this

Shortyshorts: Zverev won’t let me leave this chat

IlMagnifico: stay Holgerrr

PrinceD: yes stay lad

PrinceD: we have to talk about Jannik going to meet the Pope

Taylornotswift: WHAT

Sascha: Jannik I don’t think you need the Pope’s blessing

Sascha: I think you’re good enough without him on your side

Shortyshorts: you’re talking about the Pope like he’s an Avenger or something

Demon: he IS like an Avenger

IlMagnifico: JANNIK MA CHE FAI

IlMagnifico: dovevi portare anche me

Janthefox: scusa Lore 😜

PrinceD: Lorenzo you say a lot of blasphemies, Jannik told me

IlMagnifico: no way I’m really good 😇

PrinceD: uh-uh

IlMagnfico: I’m just from Tuscany it’s not my fault

Imnotrude: Jan what did you do with the Pope

Janthefox: apparently he’s a tennis fan!

Janthefox: we talked about tennis and Wimbledon and he wished me luck

Imnotrude: new Wimbledon champion incoming?

Janthefox: me or the Pope? ahah

Demon: obviously the Pope

PrinceD: you should play doubles with him

Taylornotswift: wait a minute the Pope is American I should be playing with him

Carlitos 🐝: Jan I can play doubles with you!!

Janthefox: I don’t think I’ll play doubles at Wimbledon Carlos I’m sorry ahah

Carlitos 🐝: oh yeah 😅

Taylornotswift: I can’t stand these two

–

Shortyshorts: told you Lorenzo was Zverev’s daddy

Shortyshorts: oops wrong chat again

PrinceD: c’mon lad 😭

Taylornotswift: you didn’t go to the Pope but you were blessed anyway Lorenzo

Taylornotswift: that was some crazy tennis you played

Carlitos 🐝: true!! you were great

Sascha: nah Rome has the problem that the balls are too big

Sascha: it’s impossible to hit them properly

Sascha: and it’s been like that for years

Sascha: impossible to play

Imnotrude: so how did you win last year then?

Sascha: well

Demon: CASPER 😂 😂

IlMagnifico: I’m sure Jannik asked the Pope to bless me

Janthefox: I didn’t but you played so well today

Janthefox: the end of the first set was insane

IlMagnifico: thank you friend

Shortyshorts: starting a poll to upset Zverev

Shortyshorts: did you have any problems with the balls this year?

Carlitos 🐝: not really, no

Janthefox: nope

IlMagnifico: absolutely not

Sascha: okay okay y’all can stop

Sascha: I’m going to mute this chat forever

Sascha: bye bye

Imnotrude: did we go too far?

Shortyshorts: he’s still in the chat so

Shortyshorts: not far enough

–

PrinceD: Jannik that was

PrinceD: fucking brutal mate

Demon: how are you playing like this after not playing for three months??

Shortyshorts: fucking hell what did Casper do to you Sinner

Shortyshorts: he was even kind to you these last few months

Taylornotswift: that was the Pope’s doing somehow

Taylornotswift: but he’s American he should’ve blessed me

Imnotrude: Jannik I just can’t believe the match we just played

Imnotrude: I’ve never felt more useless in my life

Imnotrude: I though I was a pretty good clay court player

Carlitos 🐝: oh you are Casper

Carlitos 🐝: but Jan was…

Carlitos 🐝: muy sexy honestamente

IlMagnifico: these two oh my god ahah

Taylornotswift: Lore would you be interested in joining a bet

IlMagnifico: obviously

IlMagnifico: can Cobolli join too?

IlMagnifico: he’s currently here with me and he’s a gambling addict

Taylornotswift: that… doesn’t seem to be a good thing for him then but okay!

Janthefox: oh Casper I’m truly sorry

Janthefox: I don’t know I just felt so good

Janthefox: it’s either the Italian air or the Pope blessing I guess

IlMagnifico: why not both

IlMagnfico: the Italian air is fantastic and everything

IlMagnifico: but can I avoid playing Carlos for once? it feels like we’re always playing against each other in the last months

Carlitos 🐝: you are right friend

Carlitos 🐝: you just have to lose earlier >.<

IlMagnifico: you wish ahah

Janthefox: Carlos did I just read what you wrote correctly

Carlitos 🐝: what?

Carlitos 🐝: that you are sexy?

Carlitos 🐝: no I was referring to the match sorry 😊

Janthefox: ??

Taylornotswift: what the hell is this

Imnotrude: I don’t even know anymore at this point

Chapter Text

PrinceD: Carlos!!! Congrats mate!!!

PrinceD: makes me feel better about you destroying me in straights

Imnotrude: that’s what I call being in form!!

Imnotrude: congrats!

Taylornotswift: congrats Carlos!

Taylornotswift: also Jannik you do know that coming back after three months and reaching a Masters 1000 final on your worst surface right away is insane, right?

Demon: congrats! these two are too good

Demon: I can’t believe that was only their first final in a big event

IlMagnifico: I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the first of a huge number of big finals

IlMagnifico: enhorabuena amigoo

IlMagnifico: defeating the 2 top Italian players to claim Rome it’s pretty badass

Nole99: Enhorabuena Carlos!

Shortyshorts: congrats

Janthefox: congratulazioni Carlos <3

Janthefox: troppo forte

Janthefox: I’m so happy I was able to reach the final I thought I would be able to do like 2/3 matches

Carlitos 🐝: GRACIAS EVERYONEEEE

Carlitos 🐝: Rome it’s so fun! I like it! I’m so glad I could win here >.<

Carlitos 🐝: I don't but I always understand you <3

Carlitos 🐝: also the Italian lessons are working

Carlitos 🐝: è bellissimo parlare con te!

Janthefox: I’m glad they are working :)

Shortyshorts: Mi amore

Shortyshorts: Espresso Macchiato por favore

Janthefox: ⬆️ my Italian level in 2015

IlMagnifico: AHAHAHAH

IlMagnifico: how do you know that song

Shortyshorts: I watched the Eurovision, duh!

Taylornotswift: what the fuck is that

Demon: it’s like a song competition among European countries

Demon: and Australia!

Demon: but nobody votes for us 😞

Shortyshorts: because it’s EUROvision we don’t need you

Demon: 😞

–

Taylornotswift: I just saw that Sascha lost in Hamburg and I realized he hasn’t been writing on here

Taylornotswift: have we scared him away for good?

Sascha: unfortunately, I’m still here

Sascha: I’m just so tired of everything

Sascha: so yeah, you can make fun of me all you want

Sascha: I’m immune

Imnotrude: oh Sascha

Imnotrude: if you need someone to talk to we are here!

Demon: yes, we can always help!

Janthefox: Was auch immer Sie brauchen, wir sind hier :)

Sascha: I need you guys to lose against me thanks!

PrinceD: no chance lad

Taylornotswift: can’t do that

IlMagnifico: same

Sascha: fuck you then

Shortyshorts: this chat is becoming entertaining

Shortyshorts: I like it now

Sascha: I don’t

–

Imnotrude: happy birthday to one of the legends of our sport

Imnotrude: the man that has completed tennis

Imnotrude: happy birthday Novak!

Demon: the cake™️

Sascha: finally you kids show him some respect

Sascha: happy birthday Novak

Nole99: Thank you everyone, you are so nice

Nole99: I was wrong about this chat

Nole99: I think this one was a success

Nole99: Not like the other one

Sascha: thank you that means a lot to me

Nole99: Now I can finally eat some cake

Demon: didn’t you say that you didn’t eat cake some time ago?

Nole99: It’s a special cake without sugar and cream

Nole99: No carbs and no fats

Taylornotswift: that doesn’t sound like a great cake

Taylornotswift: but it’s your birthday so… it’s okay

PrinceD: what is it made of? 😭

Nole99: It’s a secret!

Imnotrude: Lorenzo ??? I just read on some website that you’re going to be a father again! is that true?

IlMagnifico: yess 😊

Imnotrude: ohhh congrats

Janthefox: Loreeee congratulazioni

PrinceD: I bet this baby is going to be a great tennis player

Demon: and when the baby is world n1 he will be playing against Novak Djokovic

Taylornotswift: FOR SURE

Nole99: Ahahah

IlMagnifico: Nole can you be his coach?

Nole99: If I’m not still playing…

Imnotrude: 😂 😂

–

[Nole99 changed his name in Nole100]

Imnotrude: Nole that was a great way to celebrate your birthday! congratulation!

Taylornotswift: Novak Djokovic - the icon the legend the moment

Sascha: title number 100… that’s literally insane

PrinceD: Novak you’re mad

PrinceD: don’t have the words to congratulate this achievement

PrinceD: simply incredible

Janthefox: congrats 🐐

Carlitos 🐝: CONGRATULATIONS NOVAK!!

IlMagnifico: congratulazioni Novak!

Demon: congratulations!

Demon: 100 titles…

Demon: I’m only 91 away…

PrinceD: you can do it Alex ahah

Taylornotswift: for sure

IlMagnifico: I’m 98 away 😭

Nole100: Thank you guys!

Nole100: I’m sure you will all have incredible careers!

Shortyshorts: I’m sure I will

Shortyshorts: don’t know about the others

Imnotrude: Holger ahah

Chapter Text

Demon: that Rafa tribute guys…

Demon: I cried

Demon: not scared to admit it

Taylornotswift: we really lost one of the best tennis players ever

Imnotrude: you make it sound like he’s dead 😭

Taylornotswift: fuck you’re right

Nole100: It was very emotional for me as well

Sascha: not ready for the day you retire Novak

IlMagnifico: he will never retire he has to play against my second child

PrinceD: right

PrinceD: he has to reach 100 slams first

Nole100: You guys flatter me

Carlitos 🐝: that tribute was so beautiful

Carlitos 🐝: I WILL MISS RAFA SO MUCH :(((

Carlitos 🐝: he was like a father to me

PrinceD: I also love Rafa

PrinceD: I was so lucky to have the honor to play against him

PrinceD: my inspiration as a lefty <3

Imnotrude: I don't have any tears left

Imnotrude: there's never going to be another tennis player as legendary as Rafael Nadal 💔

Janthefox: seeing the big 4 all together and 3 of them being retired made me very sad 😞

Janthefox: it’s sad we are losing so many good players on tour 😞

Janthefox: Gasquet is also playing his last tournament 😞

IlMagnifico: well a 6-0 6-0 6-0 loss in R2 against Jannik Sinner is going to give him a great send-off

Janthefox: c’monnn I’m not that mean

Taylornotswift: if Jannik feels kind on that day it’s going to be like a 6-1 6-0 6-1

Demon: 😂

PrinceD: do you guys like your draw?

PrinceD: the top half is crazy

Demon: I’m in the same quarter as Jannik Sinner so I’m dead already bye bye

PrinceD: you’re also in the same quarter as me Alex

Demon: well good luck to you to, we will need it

Janthefox: I think it’s pretty difficult, but I like challenges!

Sascha: I will win this year

Sascha: I can feel it

Sascha: it’s my year

Shortyshorts: you always jinx yourself it's so funny

Sascha: I don't believe in jinxing things

Sascha: I'm not superstitious

Shortyshorts: and we are seeing the results

Sascha: you little shit-

Imnotrude: I’m in Carlos’s quarter

Imnotrude: I’m probably cooked

Taylornotswift: I have the other clay god of this year @ilmagnifico

IlMagnifico: clay god addirittura ahah

IlMagnifico: not that good yet (unfortunately)

Shortyshorts: I’m also in your quarter

Shortyshorts: you should be more scared of me Fritz

Taylornotswift: another early exit for me for sure then

Taylornotswift: at least it’s the last tournament on clay

Taylornotswift: no more of this cursed surface

IlMagnifico: why do you have to remind me? 🥲

Carlitos 🐝: I will miss clay!

Carlitos 🐝: but I’m also excited for grass!!

Carlitos 🐝: and this year I want to improve on hard!!

Demon: please Carlos we already don’t have any chance

Imnotrude: at least I won Madrid this year

Imnotrude: I’m happy with my season

PrinceD: basically a good season this year is winning a 500 and a great season is winning a 1000

PrinceD: while our 2 aliens play for every other title

Carlitos 🐝: >.<

–

Shortyshorts: death taxes and Daniel Altmaier taking out a big seed at RG

Janthefox: I know something about it unfortunately

Janthefox: he can be really scary

Janthefox: he’s a very good player, powerful, big strokes

Taylornotswift: why why why did it have to be me

Taylornotswift: I’m already doing so bad this season

Taylornotswift: and then the injuries

Taylornotswift: fuck him honestly

Sascha: hey please don’t insult my fellow German players thank you

Shortyshorts: I always forget you are German

Shortyshorts: you look so Russian

Taylornotswift: because he’s half Russian

PrinceD: no he’s actually fully Russian

Demon: ethnically Russian

Demon: but he’s German because he was born there

Sascha: why are you guys all so interested in my personal life wtf

Nole100: It’s a compliment! It means you are an interesting person

Sascha: with these guys?

Sascha: I don’t know

Imnotrude: guys I have something to say

Imnotrude: since I couldn’t defend my semifinal from last year…

Taylornotswift: NO

Demon: NO WAY

Janthefox: Casper :(

Taylornotswift: we can’t lose you again Casper please

Imnotrude: I’ll try my best to come back <3

Carlitos 🐝: you are still staying one more week right?

Imnotrude: yes because of RG being a 2-week event

Imnotrude: you can still have a little piece of Casper

Imnotrude: 

Demon: ahahah

–

Taylornotswift: POV you refuse to give a night match to the WTA because you think the matches will be short and you end up with 1 hour and 30 minutes of Jannik Sinner brutally killing Jiri Lehecka

Imnotrude: almost 70% of points won is crazy

Imnotrude: I thought you couldn’t top the match against me in Rome

Imnotrude: but apparently you also like France

Demon: also Casper being a trend-setter with the celebrating the only game you win against Jannik Sinner trend

Janthefox: c’mon you guys

Janthefox: it wasn’t that bad

Taylornotswift: Jannik it literally was

Carlitos 🐝: Jiri is not a bad player

Carlitos 🐝: but Jannik is the best 😊

Janthefox: I can't be the best because you are :)

Carlitos 🐝: 😍

Taylornotswift: these two are so blatant

Taylornotswift: Casper why do you have to leave me

Taylornotswift: who am I going to freak out with about them

Taylornotswift: Lore is not really that interested

IlMagnifico: sorry

IlMagnifico: still doing the bet tho

Taylornotswift: I know but…

Taylornotswift: @sascha can you let Casper stay

Sascha: no

Sascha: if you go out you will be removed

Taylornotswift: Casper you need to win Wimbledon then

Imnotrude: Taylor I’m going to hold your hand when I say this

Demon: AHAHAH

Shortyshorts: I think even Zverev winning a match against Musetti or Fritz is more likely to happen

Sascha: HEY

Sascha: I have already won against both of them

Shortyshorts: not in the last 12 months

Sascha: 😑

Chapter Text

Imnotrude: so this is my last week here

Imnotrude: (again)

Imnotrude: but it’s not important

Imnotrude: because what’s important is that

Imnotrude: I checked

Imnotrude: and I discovered that

Imnotrude: when the old top10 chat was made

Imnotrude: you know who also was in it?

Janthefox: no

Janthefox: who was it?

Imnotrude: SASCHA ZVEREV

Janthefox: what???

Demon: so you’re telling me

Demon: Zverev knew what happened with the old top10 chat and still decided to make another one?

Carlitos 🐝: 😵

Imnotrude: @nole100 was the old chat really that bad?

Nole100: Yes.

Imnotrude: I’m so curious

Imnotrude: please tell us what happened

Imnotrude: before Sascha removes one of us

Demon: yes I’m curious too

Nole100: Ok I will tell you

Nole100: Ask me anything

PrinceD: why was it so bad?

Nole100: Because it was cursed

Nole100: And it was especially cursed for Roger

Nole100: Rafa made it right as Roger was trying to gain his 100th title

Janthefox: deja-vu?

Imnotrude: RIGHT?

Shortyshorts: Sascha made this chat to curse Nole?

Taylornotswift: he would be completely capable

Nole100: I thought about it

Nole100: But I think Sascha is a good guy he would never do that

IlMagnifico: wait but Federer won more than 100th titles in his career

Nole100: Roger eventually won his 100th title

Nole100: But the chat had been cancelled already

Imnotrude: oh

Carlitos 🐝: would Rafa really make a chat to curse Federer? I don’t think so

Nole100: Rafa had good intentions

Nole100: Let’s say Roger and Rafa got along very well

Nole100: Even too well

Taylornotswift: was there a bet going on in 2018 too?

Imnotrude: I would 100% be in on that bet

Nole100: There was one, yes

Taylornotswift: knew it

Nole100: But it’s still going on

Imnotrude: so you never knew if Roger and Rafa were a thing?

Nole100: No

Nole100: Even if we suspected

Janthefox: but why do you say it was cursed?

Janthefox: just because Federer wasn’t able to win his 100th title?

Nole100: It was worse

Nole100: It made Rafa and Roger angry

Nole100: Roger said that Rafa made it to distract him specifically

Nole100: So that he wouldn’t win the ATP Finals

Nole100: The chat was pretty distracting

Nole100: Every time I was training there were 200 messages

Nole100: Sascha was the one who wrote on it the most

Nole100: Especially the night before the ATP Finals semifinal

Nole100: That phone was always ringing

Demon: wait

Demon: that was an important match

PrinceD: Federer against Zverev

Shortyshorts: AND ROGER LOST

Janthefox: wait so you think?

Shortyshorts: Sascha probably used the chat to disturb Roger’s sleep and beat him in the Finals?

IlMagnifico: that’s crazy

Imnotrude: why does it make sense tho?

Imnotrude: he made this chat too

Imnotrude: and he’s always so sure he’s going to win the slams

Taylornotswift: he wants to distract us with the chat so we won’t win the slams against him?

Demon: holy shit

Carlitos 🐝: but Jannik won the Australian Open!

Shortyshorts: yes because GenZs always have their phone on silent mode

Shortyshorts: he can’t disturb Jannik’s sleep

Shortyshorts: what a fool

Imnotrude: how did the chat end?

Nole100: After the Finals Roger was very sad

Nole100: And told Rafa he didn’t want to fight anymore

Nole100: Rafa agreed to delete the chat

Nole100: But the chat was cursed even for us

Nole100: We were always fighting

Nole100: I still don’t talk that much to Isner after that experience

Imnotrude: thank you Novak for all the gossip

Imnotrude: @sascha did you have bad intentions with this chat?

Sascha: what??? me??? never!!!

Sascha: @nole100 why did you have to tell them

Nole100: They asked!

Sascha: ugh

Demon: I’m happy we were able to defeat the chat’s curse!

Demon: I’m proud of us!

PrinceD: yeah we became best lads

Janthefox: I’m happy too <3

Janthefox: I really like you guys

Taylornotswift: we truly bonded

Taylornotswift: I didn’t think we would

IlMagnifico: I feel at home here :)

IlMagnifico: I love you guys :)

Imnotrude: we truly bonded while bullying Zverev and wondering if Sinner and Alcaraz are a thing

Carlitos 🐝: you wonder? >.<

Janthefox: we are not??

Taylornotswift: yes we TOTALLY believe you guys

Shortyshorts: I was unsure about this chat

Shortyshorts: but the Zverev-bullying part truly convinced me

Sascha: I’m happy I could be of some help I guess?

Demon: ahah

–

Shortyshorts: @ilmagnifico don’t ever speak to me again

IlMagnifico: ahah

Shortyshorts: I’m very serious

Shortyshorts: I wanted to win this slam

IlMagnifico: well I wanted to win too!

Shortyshorts: I hope you do

Shortyshorts: or my sacrifice was in vain

PrinceD: @demon why didn’t you tell me that Bublik was going to kick my ass

Demon: I didn’t think he would be?

Demon: he used to be so bad on clay I don’t know 😭

PrinceD: Jan you should start worrying

Taylornotswift: he breadsticked Rublev today

Taylornotswift: I think he’s okay

Janthefox: I am a bit scared

Janthefox: Bublik is so unpredictable

IlMagnifico: never in a million years you are going to lose to him

Demon: sounds like jinxing to me

PrinceD: from an Italian no less

Janthefox: NON PORTARE SFORTUNA LORENZO

IlMagnifico: esagerato

IlMagnifico: non pensavo fossi così scaramantico

Janthefox: un po’ :)

IlMagnifico: allora…

IlMagnifico: Bublik will win for sure

Shortyshorts: now you’re manifesting a Bublik win?

IlMagnifico: I can’t win with you guys, can I?

–

Taylornotswift: holy shit

Taylornotswift: Alcaraz vs Sinner

Taylornotswift: in a Slam final

Taylornotswift: that’s cinema baby

Shortyshorts: excited to watch, to be honest

PrinceD: Jannik Sinner makes the final without LOSING A SET

PrinceD: INSANE

Imnotrude: CAN’T WAIT

IlMagnifico: who wants to bet on the outcome?

Shortyshorts: pretty sure it’s going to be a 6 hours long match and then they passionately kiss at the net

Imnotrude: I would win the bet in that scenario @taylornotswift

Taylornotswift: it’s romantic and everything but I don’t want Casper to win sorry

Janthefox: why should we kiss 😂

Shortyshorts: Jannik Sinner stop being clueless wtf

PrinceD: he’s right you know?

Janthefox: not being clueless but realistic

IlMagnifico: Jack Draper do you know something we don’t?

PrinceD: probably

Janthefox: Jack?

PrinceD: 🤐

Janthefox: good

Carlitos 🐝: CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY WITH JANNIK 🤩

Carlitos 🐝: I always play my best when I’m with him!

Janthefox: you always push me to the limit

Carlitos 🐝: you do too!

Carlitos 🐝: can’t wait to see the best player in the world on the other side of the net

Janthefox: could say the same

Carlitos 🐝: but you are the best

Janthefox: I’m not first in the race tho!

Taylornotswift: you are both the best

Taylornotswift: now stop and go to sleep

Taylornotswift: you have a 9 hours tennis match to play tomorrow

Janthefox: ahah

Imnotrude: it’s clay so it could really happen

IlMagnifico: I was thinking the same ahah

Nole100: Good luck!

Janthefox: thank you Novak

Carlitos 🐝: thank you :)
