As you said, not saying there’s anything in it, but in his last match he called for a toilet break when he was two sets down. Then came back out from the bogs to make a three straight set comeback! Nothing in it though. Quote

Then came back out from the bogs to make a three straight set comeback! To be fair, a lot of elite players do this when they're a few sets down. I honestly think it's as simple as retiring for a pep talk and a rest and also the psychological strain on their opponent who now has to sit there and wait for 10 minutes while their momentum ebbs away.

Members SuperBacon Posted July 10, 2022 Author Members Posted July 10, 2022 Kyrgios fucked that in the most glorious way possible, melting down in the biggest match of his life. Djokovic was sensational to be fair. Incredible composure from him. Quote
BrodyGraham Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Fucking pissed me sides when the umpire asked Kyrgios which spectator he wanted removing to which Kyrgios responded "The one who's had seven hundred fuckin' drinks!". Should have got the trophy for that quite frankly. Quote
Loki Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 I didn’t watch but did Djokovic do his usual thing of playing like a tired man in the first set, then popping off to the loo and winning the next 2 sets like he’s 21 again? I’m beginning to wonder if the top of tennis is like the top of the cycling world a decade ago - riddled with performance enhancing drugs but just under the radar. Quote

I'd be very surprised if any of the major sports in the world aren't rife with doping, especially individual sports such as tennis. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 10, 2022 Moderators Posted July 10, 2022 I don't know how this shit works but is there actually such a substance that will instantly improve performance for a short period of time like that anyway? Like, it would have to be something short-lived and instantly working for that scenario to make any sense. Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted July 10, 2022 Paid Members Posted July 10, 2022 Wouldn't you take it before the match as well, rather than half way through in the bogs? Quote
Keith Houchen Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 Coke. You’re thinking of coke. Can help in darts though. Quote

Playing darts I’ll often take beta blockers before an important game, and it really does make all the difference. Pressure? What pressure? Quote
