and oh my, short shorts are coming back to tennis......Gerundolo??? Not even sure where he's from....

[a kennedy]

But….wearing some kinda of short shorts. He’s playing Zverev……

1. If you think those are short, you'd better be sitting down when you watch

Machac or Rune.

example of Machac's attire:

example of Rune's attire:

2. I know.....that Ruud kid's ARE VERY SHORT.....and me personally??? Not a big fan of his.

Can’t remember Machac. But Carlos, is showing off his muscles in his shirts too…..skin, baby skin.

3. I think you mean Holger Rune, rather than Casper Ruud. Casper's outfits are pretty modest. :-)

malaise and I agree that Rune needs to grow up. But IMHO he is very talented and per TTC, hard-working.

[a kennedy]

5. Right, right, it's Rune, NOT CASPER RUUD.....I love the Norwegian Ruud. My husband was Norwegian

Sorry.

[spooky3]

7. No apology needed! One of the people I play tennis with is a HUGE Casper fan.

I like him too - and loved Norway when I visited. Every person I met there was kind.

12. Would love to go sometime.....

POST NORWEGIAN FLAG HERE.

[spooky3]

14. I hope you get to. I'm sorry about your husband. nt

[a kennedy]

15. Ya, I gave him his last valentine last year on this date.....

I have made my valentines for over the last 50 years…..numbers vary but usually over 25 love made valentines, even for their kids or pets I’ve made them all. First year my husband didn’t get one…..I have the ones I made him, framed and hanging all around my kitchen. I miss him so much.

[spooky3]

16. Awww....I am sure he treasured those.

4. Since you mentioned Carlos, here's a youtube of Machac vs. Alcaraz:

9. Oh my.....kinda glad I'm 74......

Makes me feel so young tho eh??

[spooky3]

10. hey, if they didn't want you to look, they'd cover up, eh?

hee hee hee

6. What are the white things hanging out the back? Pockets? At least he has the legs for it.

[spooky3]

8. good question! nt

[Srkdqltr]

11. Looks like the pants were cut down and the pockets not adjusted. Can't imagine no one noticed. Has to be something else

[spooky3]

13. Some of the men wear stretchy undershorts or bandages under their playing shorts but usually those cling to the body

So Holger's look weird to me too. And he surely has a clothing contract, so he must like them like that.

17. What if i posted what you did but it was a woman player?

Yeah.
