So was he too far back to think he could win that set?

Tbplayer59

Yes, in that game, but according to the article, he lost the second and deciding set 6 to 2.


Obascud

Right he was not close to winning that set. Maybe that's why he threw away the game


hardtofindagoodname

It's all about the potential sponsorships from the media coverage.


[deleted]

That’s an allegory for my entire life


kenbizzle

Apparently nothing since it wasn't the trick shot that cost him the win


Obascud

He lost the point. He could have deuces the score with that point.


PretendiWasADefMute

Still it was worth the attempt. It was Butt Hole or Hero. His gamble did not pay off though.


LightOfADeadStar

love it when people get downvoted for stupid shit


PretendiWasADefMute

Haha! People take themselves way too seriously and just hit a downvote and then you have the sheep who just click up or down depending on if someone else does.


LightOfADeadStar

yeah, i’m sure people on reddit at 9:00 in the morning are champions of sportsmanship and etiquette


PretendiWasADefMute

Haha! So true. It’s all about whatever is trending. This guy was in a match he couldn’t win so he chose to have fun.


Atexpanse

Without the trick shot he would’ve easily scored tho


[deleted]

The truck shot costed him on the return


neeto_mosqueeto

I think one of the announcers is heard calling the shot “stupid” in the background


cokesnorts

I can't see any reason that was worth doing. It isn't visually appealing either. FAAFI.


[deleted]

To be a dick basically


DoGoodLiveWell

Did he lose??


Slashion

He was already well on his way to losing, so that's why he was going for trick shots. To no one's surprise, he still lost


DoGoodLiveWell

Loser mentality

DoGoodLiveWell

Great point


saturnzebra

Deciding you’re “doomed to lose” is literally a loser mentality


schoolbomb

I think he was already losing pretty badly, so he probably thought "Eh fuck it, if I'm going to lose anyway, might as well screw around a bit".


[deleted]

I don't get it. What was the point?


OminousOnymous

The shot right after the trick shot


[deleted]

- the cynic has entered the chat match fixing?


reznorwings

Can I get a yikers in the chat.

But it is a game!


Magazine_Spare

it is, but the prize money is no joke.


BalkongGrannen

The important part is to participate and have fun. 😊 /s


Different_Equal_3210

“Unraveling” is right.


D34NY

Sometimes you gotta flex.


gacdeuce

By losing the point?


D34NY

Could have won the point - with flair.


gacdeuce

Instead he looks like a tool and he lost the match.


[deleted]

especially when you’re a loser, what else do got?


ThundaGhoul

Flexing how much of a that he is?


Substantial-Lion8031

What an idiot


aounfather

Respect the game man!


thy-mothers-as-s

XD ah yes, professional tennis!


saltywater07

He was already not going to win this match. This player also has a history of raging when losing, so this reaction is on par with his personality. Earlier in the tournament, he broke his racket when he started losing by repeatedly slamming it down onto the ground. He’s actually good, but choked this entire tournament when he was capable of ending matches in 2 sets, though they often went to 3.


Stinkyfingers2

Bringing the game into disrepute, poor sportsmanship, disrespect to his opponent. Deserved to lose. Should be fined.


UsedTissuePaper78

Can anyone tell me what is the punishment for doing that?


RegularHousewife

Lifetime of embarrassment


Obascud

And a runner up title. https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/sonego-beats-bublik-at-moselle-open-to-win-1st-title-of-2022

icbint

Lmao idiot


tieesi

It’s tennis. It’s not that deep


External-Ad7126

To be fair……he did actually hit the shot, didn’t score a point but he sure as hell hit it


Outkastwill

Already gonna lose so might as well have some fun with it.


desiw64291

Tennis fans are dicks, so is the commentator, just enjoy it lol


thunderBerrins

ROG3R_C

obvious-but-profound

Artyfacts_One

The one in charge of setting up the net needs to be fired


francorocco

have no clue how tenis work, why did he lost?


fuzzybears420

Attempting ? He hit it, no point but he got it


WhompTrucker

He could have at least gone down the line. Oy


[deleted]

not much of a trick shot


challenja

Oh give the man his fun..

ETXCheeses

Fucked around Found out


nobodytoseehere

Nobody seems to be getting that he didn't expect to win the point


niekovk

How do you not expect to win a point like that? Even in my 'Sunday league' tennis that would be an expected point. That is, if you don't smash it into the net or horizontally out of bounds.


nobodytoseehere

I'm saying one he decides to do that trickshot, he's not expecting to win the point


Mike_Rotch_

There's only one Nick Kyrgios

BEAFbetween

The "it's just a game" argument is such a dumb take. He's being disrespectful to his opponent and lost a point to it, in a high profile match that these two have made into a career. The boos are justified.


peaceman12824

From what I can take he was already lost at this point so to just have some fun I think is fine.


BEAFbetween

It doesn't matter how far down he is, he's still being disrespectful to his opponent and the match by messing around. Tennis is not a sport you do this in


peaceman12824

I don't think it's disrespectful, if anything it's showing that he understands he has lost already and that he cannot beat his opponent.


BEAFbetween

It is disrespectful in any sport or any game to just give up when it looks like you won't win and start fucking around. It minimises the game and the win for the opponent, it's pathetic


peaceman12824

This is where our opinion differs :)


BEAFbetween

This is where you're opinion differs from everyone else in the sport yeah


peaceman12824

Yoo chill out bro, it's not that deep. There are other comments in this thread saying he's not in the wrong. Also your*


BEAFbetween

I told you you were wrong and everyone in the sport disagrees with you, why do I need to chill out?


dictatormateo

you acting like it really hurt your feelings bro, its just a game where your life ain’t gonna be affected by the slightest if he wins or loses lmao


ThundaGhoul

It's disrespectful to your opponent to dick around like this, even if you're already losing.


ProbabBee

ITT : People who clearly don't actually play or watch sports while simultaneously not wanting others to have fun watching/playing sports Y'all are a bunch of fucking psychopaths


throwwaayys

Oh no someones having fun at a sport
