veronyxk84: Tennis players Sinner and Alcaraz, Wimbledon 2025 (Vero#ITFsincaraz)

Navigation Button - Tennis

Jannik Sinner (ITA, world #2) and Carlos Alcaraz (ESP, world #1) kicked off the season with a performance match in Seoul (KOR).
The Hyundai Card Super Match went to the Spaniard (7-5, 7-6) after a couple of hours of high-level but rather playful tennis.

Sincaraz H2H – 2026
Sinner — Alcaraz
0 — 1


This match had nothing to do with the adrenaline-packed matches we saw back in November and October for the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin or for the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh, even though the latter was also a performance match.

Today’s match felt way more relaxed and playful on both sides, with more focus on entertaining the packed Inspire stadium (15,000 seats) and the fans watching live.
At some point Jannik left his racket and the court to a little fan, who played a few exchanges with an amused Alcaraz... and the boy even scored a deuce for Sinner! It was a very cute and enjoyable moment.

The whole match was rather entertaining, although I did miss the usual adrenaline. And I am of course not thrilled about the result, unofficial as it may be—I always root for Sinner! 😉

Well, the adrenaline will be back soon: the Australian Open (Slam) awaits and surely Carlitos will try to snatch the title from two-time defending champion Jannik (while securing a Career Grand Slam for himself, should he succeed).
Both champions are one slam title away from scoring a Career Grand Slam: Carlos could accomplish that by winning the Australian Open, while Jannik could do the same by winning the Roland Garros.

An adrenaline-packed season is about to kick off... today was just a little taste.

Forza Jannik! ♥

Help me pick next month’s character!

Would you help me pick next month’s character from a selection of the main BtVS ensemble?
I had to leave out a few... Only 11 spots available. But if a character gets enough votes I might make doubles for some months.
So feel free to suggest someone I left out and you think should be featured.
Preferably no big “villains” or minor characters or characters from the AtS ensemble, unless they had a prominent role in BtVS (Cordelia, Harmony, Wesley, etc).

The “suggested quote” text box has a 255-character limit. Feel free to drop a comment if the quote doesn’t fit.
