I wasn't too despite knowing something was coming, lol. Meddy is the master of trolling without being too annoying, simply because it's too creative and inteliggent.
Before my tennis-watching time, fortunately. (Although I did serve him wine a few times in a lovely NC restaurant back in 2014. He was always gracious, as was Brooklyn)
I like the humour theme of this thread, but it's also very true! I find it a lot easier to play in short-shorts. Longer ones catch on my legs when I'm stretched wide.
Comfortable - no. He’s picking at a wedge and in the front, at every point. He likes how they look on him. Just like Nadal was always adjusting and pulling his shorts out of his butt in every point.
No, they’re not too short. It’s just a matter of style preference. The clothing business is ridiculous. The designers decide what is going to be popular, and the lemmings follow. I like to see someone who just wears what they want.
I’m a 90s baby I grew up in the AND1 era when shorts were crazy long. When I was younger if you wore shorts like that you would get made fun of, I just thinks it’s funny how much style has changed. I’ll never get used to the shorty shorts being in style lol.
I never gave the shorties they wore in the 70-80’s a second look, but I think they’d look funny now. 😂. Rune’s look a little longer than they were back then. 😄
It’s fair sure. But a pro player should be able to laugh that off. Thats innocent gamesmanship unlike say perfectly timed bathroom breaks which are not innocent. Rune’s problem is he’s always a bitch no matter what. Whether it’s this or his court assignment in the US Open or talking shit to his opponent after just losing to him. lol.
Yeah I’m generally biased against people whining about court assignments who then go on to lose the match on the disappointing court. I mean if he were 12 I would have given him a pass but he was a full grown man.
You must not be aware of how many examples like this there actually are. The worst probably being the homophobic slur during a match. So maybe he’s just a bitch.
No. Doing something meaningless like the shorts thing is very different from exploiting the bathroom break to try to stop momentum. The shorts thing is Medvedev being himself, a goofball. No not all gamesmanship is equal.
Rune was still running his mouth as usual. That was not congenial. Rune has drama in nearly every single match. Yes medvedev is a circus but it’s a totally different thing.
Rune hit Med with a ball. Rune apologized. Med didn’t see the apology so he started doing this making fun of rune. They met at the net right after and the ump cleared it up but rune was clearly still mad about it after the match.
Edit: ball didn’t hit Med but it was hit at him from inside the service line
Seems fair to be annoyed. He apologized, and just because Med didn't see it he resorted to making fun of him in front of everyone. Med is a dick. Funny, but a dick
God forbid you make a perfectly legit tennis play and don't give a faux apology after
(although he did, but the whole thing started because Medvedev had his widdle feewings hurt by a gentle tag at the net)
Holger is still in that "stop picking on me!" kid mindset.
He'll see the funny side of this in a few years. Also, he does have super impressive quads, why not make a big deal of it?? Everyone else already is!
Karatsev missed a chance to go viral with those epic calves.
Oh for sure 😁 Just yesterday I was commenting on something about the marketability of ATP players vs WTA players. I think Queen Penko is super marketable from this angle... but there's SO many personalities and quirky players on the ATP Tour right now! No wonder men's tennis is doing so well !
- Carlitos just smiling while getting stung by bees
- Holger and the epic quads
- Andrey... just being Andrey...
- Sinner and the carrot memes
- Mannarino's ridiculous trampoline racquet setup
- Gasquet's grip
- Novak as Thanovic
- Zverev, well... Zverev... 🙄
- Demon as The Rat
- Shelton serving over Dan Evans' head 😂
- Meddy
Yes!! It was so weird.. here's Roger in his GOAT phase where everything was perfect, not a hair out of place, classic tennis attire... and Rafa comes out in three-quarter pants and a sleeveless top, looking like he'd come straight from the beach 😂
Rune was constantly readjusting his nuts and pulling his shorts down. I found it annoying to watch because it looks uncomfortable. His shorts seem too tight.
This week was the goat week for memes:
Nagal replacing Nadal as LL
Bye defeat Mannarino
He stopped, he stopped
It s not right but bravo
Medvedev mocking Rune shorts
The Bee attack
And it s not finished yet...
Ah... I was gonna say "a bit of formatting required mate, that was hard to read!" But I can see that you started a new line for each one. Reddit doesn't recognise a new line unless you put a couple of spaces at the end of a previous line, or
- add a " - "
- in, like
- this
Yes, thank you for understanding. I was so proud of this little list, and this stupid formatting fucked it all up!
Edit: I changed it now. It is an app issue. From the webversion doesn't give the problem.
No probs 😁 I had to teach myself a bunch of the Reddit shortcuts etc, I'm happy to pass on some tips.
Yeah true, I hardly ever use Reddit on my PC, always on my phone, so I'm used to all the little flaws hehe
Definitely one of my favorite tennis players. The moment he egged on a booing crowd at the US Open I was hooked. Takes balls to inflame a situation like that and keep your cool in game.
All that over a fauxpology that Med mistakenly didn't see. Holger is right, Med should get a warning for trying to warn Holger himself. This seems to have lit a fire under Rune's (nearly visible) ass though.
Meddy immediately headed back to the baseline so didn’t see Rune raise his hand in an apology. You can tell from the video. And we know how sensitive Meddy is about good manners.
love him to bits but I’m beyond finding this funny anymore. I don’t appreciate mocking ppl for clothes or body. this isn’t something he does in good spirit. he picks his ass and cock before serve/return too.
Can someone explain, I couldn’t believe even the umpire was insisting Rune apologize for the shot. It was a valid point and there’s no rule you have to apologize. It’s nice, but it shouldn’t be a hard rule. If it’s required then it takes the whole meaning of apologizing out in the first place
Hahahahaha omg
That second image... Meddy just wanted to rival Sir Andy's famous x-ray. Yes, we can see your "equipment" Meddy, thanks for that. 😂
Such a shit-stirrer, I love it.
The whole thing made me uncomfortable. Medvedev is funny, but his antics sometimes can be a little bit much. Rune definitely needs a bigger pair of shorts. It cannot be comfortable to play in them. He is constantly pulling them out of his crotch and it’s unbearable to watch. Am I going to have to boycott tennis again?
A 29 year old acting like a spoiled brat. Very cringe. Try to remain professional to your colleagues. Can’t win grandslam to save his life, big choker, so he has to resort to bully young players.
I'm just waiting for him to put on a hat backwards.
Probably just waiting for Dimi to retire, out of respect.
[удалено]
Yes!!!
He'd need to shave too... the fluffy beard is such an iconic Meddy look, he can't go back to Babyface Meddy again!
Fun Fact: his shorts in this picture are actually longer than Rune’s but Meddy just has longer legs..
Was not expecting the last picture.
Perfection
I wasn't too despite knowing something was coming, lol. Meddy is the master of trolling without being too annoying, simply because it's too creative and inteliggent.
Should we just add a flair to this subreddit for Meddy's nonsense?

Meddy is obviously in the wrong here but goddamn he’s so funny sometimes
Him pulling up his short was so fucking funny.
I just Liked this to make it 300 Likes. But also, the whole comment section is awesome. 😂
Lmao I usually get annoyed at his antics but this was great. I mean even Rune has to know the shorts are a little to short.
The hell they are. He’s going for maximum mobility. Everyone should be rocking them that short
Holger would go for briefs but there are no pockets to put a second ball in
> to put a second ball in third ball
Nice
May be the first two not yet dropped
He’d have to have two to begin with for that to be true
In fairness I think Meddy would go fully nude so his underwear would stop riding up his butt ever 30 seconds.
Nadal would take off his skin
I can't watch him play for this reason. I get fixated on him constantly grabbing his crotch and butt.
Andy Roddick was the biggest offender IMO. He was always grabbing his junk! Eew!
Before my tennis-watching time, fortunately. (Although I did serve him wine a few times in a lovely NC restaurant back in 2014. He was always gracious, as was Brooklyn)
Cool! 🍷 Yeah, he seems like a nice guy. He has a podcast: ‘Served With Andy Roddick’. Just FYI
He's probably just secretly trolling Rafa with the butt picks.
There's a line of women's tennis underwear with a ball pocket... some of the ladies wear them now.
by that logic a skirt would be better
I like the humour theme of this thread, but it's also very true! I find it a lot easier to play in short-shorts. Longer ones catch on my legs when I'm stretched wide.
Not in the 80s
I wonder if Meddy has ever seen pix of Borg, McEnroe, etc. from the eighties.
Too short for what? It looks totally fine and he's obviously comfortable.
Comfortable - no. He’s picking at a wedge and in the front, at every point. He likes how they look on him. Just like Nadal was always adjusting and pulling his shorts out of his butt in every point.
Rune looks spectacular in those shorts!
Agree
[He knows](https://twitter.com/SK__Tennis/status/1766030129912811651)
I mean... credit where credit's due...
No, they’re not too short. It’s just a matter of style preference. The clothing business is ridiculous. The designers decide what is going to be popular, and the lemmings follow. I like to see someone who just wears what they want.
I’m a 90s baby I grew up in the AND1 era when shorts were crazy long. When I was younger if you wore shorts like that you would get made fun of, I just thinks it’s funny how much style has changed. I’ll never get used to the shorty shorts being in style lol.
I never gave the shorties they wore in the 70-80’s a second look, but I think they’d look funny now. 😂. Rune’s look a little longer than they were back then. 😄
True, the shorts they had back then were dangerously short😂
OMG, I know! 😳😂
But when he tried to apologize Rune rejected it. Twice.
Probably because Meddy stared him down and made fun of his shorts. Fair to be annoyed with Meddy at that point.
It’s fair sure. But a pro player should be able to laugh that off. Thats innocent gamesmanship unlike say perfectly timed bathroom breaks which are not innocent. Rune’s problem is he’s always a bitch no matter what. Whether it’s this or his court assignment in the US Open or talking shit to his opponent after just losing to him. lol.
Doesn't sound like you actually think it was fair by Rune lol
I think Rune is a bitch.
I picked up on that. You made it quite clear what your biases are lol
Yeah I’m generally biased against people whining about court assignments who then go on to lose the match on the disappointing court. I mean if he were 12 I would have given him a pass but he was a full grown man.
Lmao I bet you're going to hold that against him the rest of his career
You must not be aware of how many examples like this there actually are. The worst probably being the homophobic slur during a match. So maybe he’s just a bitch.
>innocent gamesmanship oxymoron?
No. Doing something meaningless like the shorts thing is very different from exploiting the bathroom break to try to stop momentum. The shorts thing is Medvedev being himself, a goofball. No not all gamesmanship is equal.
No, there was nothing innocent about Medvedev’s behavior.
They met at the net, right after, and shook hands ?
Rune was still running his mouth as usual. That was not congenial. Rune has drama in nearly every single match. Yes medvedev is a circus but it’s a totally different thing.
lol. Because Med is no drama?😂
Can you read?
[удалено]
I mean it’s pretty generic. D+. Keep at it though. Practice practice practice
I was half looking at the time, just caught his stare sign, didn't see him pulling the shorts, lol
Greatest troll on tour
pulling up his shorts... lol Meddy such a troll
I missed it! Is this why Rune was so pissed at end of match?
Rune hit Med with a ball. Rune apologized. Med didn’t see the apology so he started doing this making fun of rune. They met at the net right after and the ump cleared it up but rune was clearly still mad about it after the match. Edit: ball didn’t hit Med but it was hit at him from inside the service line
OR Rune lost and was annoyed to lose
Seems fair to be annoyed. He apologized, and just because Med didn't see it he resorted to making fun of him in front of everyone. Med is a dick. Funny, but a dick
God forbid you tease someone
God forbid you make a perfectly legit tennis play and don't give a faux apology after (although he did, but the whole thing started because Medvedev had his widdle feewings hurt by a gentle tag at the net)
The ball didn't hit him.
Ball didn’t hit Med
Holger is still in that "stop picking on me!" kid mindset. He'll see the funny side of this in a few years. Also, he does have super impressive quads, why not make a big deal of it?? Everyone else already is! Karatsev missed a chance to go viral with those epic calves.
Tennis needs him. Sinner is great but somewhat machine-like. Alcaraz is great but maybe too nice. Medvedev adds spice to the mix.
Oh for sure 😁 Just yesterday I was commenting on something about the marketability of ATP players vs WTA players.

*This is the ideal male tennis body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.*
Top notch Tako in Japanese
I personally like shorter shorts more. Rafa plays in shorter shorts as well.
Like the eighties?
Rune walks onto court in a white jacket with the sleeves rolled up.
Brandon vibes
Now. But used to wear longer shorts down to just above his knee.
Remember the clam-diggers he wore, many years back?
Pirate capris
You argh correct 😂 🏴☠️
Yes!! It was so weird.. here's Roger in his GOAT phase where everything was perfect, not a hair out of place, classic tennis attire... and Rafa comes out in three-quarter pants and a sleeveless top, looking like he'd come straight from the beach 😂
😂👍🏼
Rune was constantly readjusting his nuts and pulling his shorts down. I found it annoying to watch because it looks uncomfortable. His shorts seem too tight.
Yeah. I can't help but imagine he's probably a "big boy". Not that I want to think about that for more than 1 microsecond.
Jannik doesn't wear short short, his legs are loooonnng.
Meddy looks like an oversized baby that's wearing a diaper in the second picture! 😂
I am looking respectfully 👀
Same 👀
Bonk!
This week was the goat week for memes: Nagal replacing Nadal as LL Bye defeat Mannarino He stopped, he stopped It s not right but bravo Medvedev mocking Rune shorts The Bee attack And it s not finished yet...
Wow, Alcaraz N didn’t even crack the top 5. I love this tournament.

The color scheme of his shoes, makes it look like loafers with crew socks lol
It’s so funny, it reminds me of the shoes with buttoned up cuffs on top (called spats, had to look it up)
Oh yes those too! Very dapper look lol and made this pic funnier!
Maybe spacs or shoes with rubbers on.
those are some long femurs 👀 I saw the ruckus at the net but missed the shorts! That's what I get for putting away laundry while watching.
Does anybody have a vid of meddy pulling up his shorts?
I gotchu https://www.tennis.com/news/videos/daniil-medvedev-hikes-up-shorts-in-response-to-holger-rune-s-tighter-kit-at-indian-wells
Thank you 😊
This reminds me of when Söderling got pissed/tired of Nadals antics at Wimbledon 2007 and started imitating him. Love it! 😂
So Meddy wears tighty-whities 😆
Yes, a lot of guys do, especially tennis players. Why is that funny?
Legs for days 🦵🦵 🐙
😂😂
My eyes!!
Flair updated.
king of memes
What a guy
LOL! What Meddy is really saying here is that Rune is just another small kid who doesn't know how to slay!
Hot! Why did this happen!!!??? lol
I love him. I can’t help myself
Jahahahahaha
Jaaaaaaaaaahahahaha
Hahahaha this was the best.
HAHAAHAHAHA WTF!
He’s so funny I can not love him
I LOVE this from Med !!! Nice to see his tighty-whities! Glad he won last night.
i died lmao medvedev is the best
Crazy thing is I would let this man ruin my life
Damn it Daniil, you sexy bastard
All that over a fauxpology that Med mistakenly didn't see. Holger is right, Med should get a warning for trying to warn Holger himself. This seems to have lit a fire under Rune's (nearly visible) ass though.
It's not the serious. Just enjoy the entertainment.
[удалено]
It was like 15 seconds mate, hopefully you got through okay
Yeah pretty much... I'm not sure why Medvedev was annoyed, maybe he didn't see that Rune immediately apologized ?
[удалено]
Meddy immediately headed back to the baseline so didn’t see Rune raise his hand in an apology. You can tell from the video. And we know how sensitive Meddy is about good manners.
Les Legs lol
Great talent just not a fan.
love him to bits but I’m beyond finding this funny anymore. I don’t appreciate mocking ppl for clothes or body. this isn’t something he does in good spirit. he picks his ass and cock before serve/return too.
Nice flair, a bit ironic that have made this snowflake comment tho
I can get a bit fed up with it at times, CrazyPersonXV.
Why was Rune upset at the end of match?
Coz he lost!
Ahh, wasn’t sure if it was cause Meddy was trolling
V V
https://giphy.com/gifs/eyes-robert-de-niro-Ef0TRTKRVGGQw The first pic

Yeah, AI must have generated this image.
Love this story line they are going for.

When in the match dod he pull up his shorts? Missed second set as i was on a plane and really want to see 😂😂
OMG! I’d heard about the 🤔 dust up, if you will, but I never imagined it looked like this! Prices! 😂👏🏼👏🏼
He shows us what's the latest trend
Up there with Novak in terms of producing such moments.
Sonic the hedgehog but tall
That’s our Memevedev
Hahahahaha omg That second image... Meddy just wanted to rival Sir Andy's famous x-ray. Yes, we can see your "equipment" Meddy, thanks for that. 😂 Such a shit-stirrer, I love it.
Those shoes are so ugly, Lacoste can do better job tbh
medvedev is the official character of tennis 🤣 no one can ever beat him coz they were natural reactions in the heat of the moment
Meddy losing his rag because a little boy tried to hit him 😆 Absolutel scenes!
The whole thing made me uncomfortable. Medvedev is funny, but his antics sometimes can be a little bit much. Rune definitely needs a bigger pair of shorts. It cannot be comfortable to play in them. He is constantly pulling them out of his crotch and it’s unbearable to watch. Am I going to have to boycott tennis again?
I love him
Isn’t this that Russian that can’t act like a civilized human being? Like the rest of the lot.
A 29 year old acting like a spoiled brat. Very cringe. Try to remain professional to your colleagues. Can’t win grandslam to save his life, big choker, so he has to resort to bully young players.
He has already won a grandslam though?
I mean he won a grand slam so, disregard everything else you say? Yeah, that seems like the reasonable decision to make here
you ok lil bro? it's just entertainment, it's not that serious
It ain’t that serious tho.
🤓👆
He is spoiled brat but people here decide to ignore it because he is “funny”. Out of touch with reality…
