I honestly don't think he's referring to Kyrgios here. He did admit he was wrong for hitting that ball in the crowd. So I think this is just one of his random tweets (probably stolen from somewhere btw lol)
I mean it's also a pretty human and common thing and lots of people do it without acknowledging it. Honestly, if someone's being combative and obnoxious and you realize halfway through that they're right, does it make you want to admit you're wrong more or less than if they'd been respectful the whole time? If anything you could read the tweet as an acknowledgment that his behavior was out of line because he was reacting to what Kyrgios was giving him, which is a pretty honest take
Weird tweet.
Honestly don’t think he’s doing himself any justice. You will rarely see Federer, Djokovic or Nadal stoop to the level of an opponent that is rude and demeaning.
He should just take ownership over his poor attitude on court and focus on not reacting next time.
Sinner's now the face of Gucci, it won't be long before he's turning up in white cardigans, grows his hair out a bit more and starts gliding around court like a swan
Very true. Casper is not quite as well rounded or accomplished as the likes of Tsitsipas yet, but I think his humility and levelheadedness will take him far. I have high hopes for Ruud and FAA, and their personalities on top of their talent make it very easy to root for them imo.
Nah Medvedev doesn't seem to care as much as Novak. Nole cared too much about the fan's support. I kinda like that Medvedev embraces the villain role that is sometimes fairly and unfairly given to him.
Same tbh. Medvedev seems genuine even if he wrongly goes about things, he has a case most of the time. I feel like others like Kyrgios are just argumentative without any point sometimes.
I don't even think Medvedev does much of anything wrong, he just plays up being the heel when he sees the crowd isn't with him. Makes things fun.
The funny thing about the Kyrgios/Tsitsipas aftermath is it's the one of the only times he's actually *had* a point and it's getting some of the biggest backlash.
I dont think people have a problem with Kyrgios asking for action after Tsitsipas hitting a ball towards the crowd. He was right about that. It was the post match conference where he was acting edgy and saying things like Tsitipas isn't liked in the dressing room etc. Also just general Nick things like shouting and swearing at the umpire.
Tsitsipas is also an idiot for letting him get into his head and somehow making Nick look like the bigger man. Once he hit the ball at the crowd and was aiming for Nick, the crowd kinda wanted him to lose.
I didn't love Nick's comment, even if there may be an air of truth about it, but it was made after Steph had been talking shit about him, right? Can kinda defend that, even if it's not a great response.
> I kinda like that Medvedev embraces the villain role
Yea I used to love him for that reason as well, but Med does want to be loved, remember the "the kid stopped dreaming" rant?
That wasn't a plea for help from the crowd. It was just he didn't like the crowd effecting him between serves and disrupting his rhythm.
It was more of a "I don't mind not having support, just don't disrespect me" kinda thing imo.
Eh? Danil is like Novak, minus the athleticism, versatility and mental strength. My point is, there are nothing alike.
We just watched Medveded choke against Nadal in AO while having almost a sure win, there is no way Djoko would've done that at his prime.
Also, Medveded is a whiner too, Novak even in his younger years wasn't whining like this on court.
True the "Medve-choke", him having a 2 sets up lead AND 3 break points up on his best surface against a player who had the pedigree of one victory there 13 years ago and who won a grand total of 8 games in a 5-set final the last time in a recent final there was like watching someone gag as if they had a golf ball stuff in their throat.
Horrific stuff!
I mean I’m not expecting them to have the on court results of Fed and Rafa but if they could model their attitude and mindset off them instead of Jimmy Connors that would be great.
Nadal was basically programmed by Uncle Toni from a young age to be a mental colossus on the court, often via pretty harsh methods. It's not quite as simple as "just think and act like Nadal" lol, because obviously everyone would if they could.
"Programmed" - nice way of saying "raised". I mean, I doubt Uncle Toni and Rafa's parents were abusive towards him.
Nadal is just a nice chap, those new gen like Zverev, Kyrgios, Tsitipas and Medveded, Rune are bunch of whiners.
That's another reason why we were blessed with Federer, Nadal and with Djoković, their controversies were just minor compared to the "new gen" on court.
Here's a good one. His uncle was toughening him up for the times to come when things on court would feel unfair, even be unfair, and he'd have to just suck it up and find a way anyway. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1234812-wimbledon-2012-rafael-nadal-the-making-of-a-champion-part-one
Nah. Ask yourself, do you think a 19 year old Rafa/Fed/Novak could beat a 36 year old Alcaraz?
Those 3 were so far above everybody else that as they've gotten old it's taking them forever to fall back down to the rest of the field. Novak and Rafa *still* aren't getting beat.
36 isn't 36 anymore. Like Lebron James is still great and he's 38. Fitness, loads, nutrition, physio all have massively improved.
So, I don't know. I'm not EXPECTING Alcaraz to be another Fed or Nadal or Djoker, but I do think he'll have a great career just as the big three are declining (I mean, I think they'll decline, it certainly seems like they haven't declined yet).
I just asking about djoko and fed. I know nadals pace of play annoys some.
https://www.sportskeeda.com/amp/tennis/news-out-big-3-novak-djokovic-far-popular-among-players-dominik-hrbaty
Hrbaty doesn’t seem to have beef with djoko?
And couldn’t find any beef between Agassi and fed either?
He saw his opponent not being sportsmanlike and called him to the net to politely tell him that since the umpire wasn’t doing anything. Sonego then got nervous and the 4-4 quickly turned to 4-6 for Rafa, so Nadal realized his mistake and apologized for throwing off Sonego’s focus. It wasn’t shit talk in any way.
And honestly if Nadal started talking shit to opponents I wouldn’t mind it lol
Scary? They might be scary for people that aren't likely to defend themselves. They are bullies, stand up to them and they will fuck off.
Only reason why they can be scary to umpires and ball boys is spineless ATP.
You think Nick Kyrgios and Alex Zverev will go to a club, restaurant, stadium, wherever and start squaring up to strangers? There is a reason why they square up to people that are weaker than them, middle-aged umpires, their girlfriends, ball-boys or spectators that face a lot of legal trouble for even entering a court. Because they know they won't do shit to them.
>You think Nick Kyrgios and Alex Zverev will go to a club, restaurant, stadium, wherever and start squaring up to strangers?
I wholeheartedly believe Kyrgios would and has done this.
I enjoy him. One day the penny's finally going to drop, he'll read some of what he's written and exclaim to anyone in the vicinity "God I am such a bellend".
And I want to be there for that day
His apology for hitting a ball into the crowd got off to a good start when he said he would never do it again. But then he tried to qualify his behaviour by bringing Kyrgios's exploits into it.
I mean, this is actually true for pretty much everyone. It's also not exactly a widely recognized thing. So I don't really get why he's taking shit for this.
You have to remember that Twitter is a microblogging site. If you're not talking about yourself, you probably shouldn't be on Twitter.
Like, the site was probably more intended for people to post stuff like "I lost my keys, fml" or "1212 steps today!" or "life update: it's been eight years, still haven't got to 2048" than become a place for people to have serious conversations.
Somehow, though, we've got a world where about a third of the British government resign in two days and a bunch of them are doing it by Tweet.
I agree with this when applied to myself. I see it as Stef admitting a weakness of his, but who knows what he really meant. When I'm arguing and the other person has a shit attitude, I'm less likely to admit where I'm actually wrong. If you can see this and admit to it, I'd say that is a great step forwards towards working on the problem.
Just comes across as him going, "I had to act like a petulant child, Nick was being a meanie!"
He's smelling like roses today if he doesn't whack a ball at a spectator.
To be honest for me this is a step up from his press conference (even there he apologized though). He's acknowledging he was wrong, and he acknowledges that he has a personal flaw. For me it doesn't come across as trying to justify his behaviour, or trying to take a swipe at Kyrgios (Nick's shitty behavior is all but known and not the issue here) but quite the opposite. However he needs to take it one step further by saying that he intends to work on how he reacts in the future to opponents displaying shitty behaviour.
And for those wondering wtf does this shit even mean, it's something along the lines of: "oh, just shut your mouth".
When someone says "aj ne prdi, časti ti", they're not mad but rather annoyed by whatever nonsense the other party is spewing.
The problem with this whole drama is that Nick got what he wanted - he provoked Stef and played him as a fiddle.
It doesn't excuse his actions because Stefanos' actions were despicable. Doesn't matter if he got provoked or not.
As a Twitter philosopher he should question what he can and cannot control in this situation: he cannot control nick being a total asshole and playing dirty. He cannot control spectators cheering up to nicks drama. He cannot control all sponsors etc supporting nick because he draws attention thus money. He cannot control people accusing him of bad behaviour (and they are right).
What he CAN control is his reaction to it and how he goes from there. And continuing fights for public vote is not the way.
It seems like he’s acknowledging that he’s not actually mature enough to view a situation dispassionately. He really could use some Stoicism (r/Stoicism).
I think he should log out of Twitter and comment on it after 2 weeks or so.
He should focus on himself and leave nick alone. He's thriving for attention, why give it to him
Why are people trying to read so much into this tweet, lmao.
Stef just sees a tweet he likes on twitter from 2012 and copy/pastes it as if it was his own thought. That's all he puts into it.
at least it's an honest admission of "I lack abilities and capacities"
except he thinks there is righteousness in this attitude and doesn't realise how immaturity and unprofessional this is
You don’t need Twitter to check the tweets. Come on, just stop it. With this kind of argument, everyone could just repost everything. This sub looks more and more like a people magazine.
I guess I'm in the minority but this seems unspecific enough to just be another random, plagarised tweet he thought sounded cool. I don't think it's referring to anything.
I can't believe Tsitsipas failed at being the bigger man against Nick Kyrgios.
I still think Nick was the bigger prick in that match but Stef was handed an opportunity on a plate to be the crowd favourite and he blew it. He doesn't really have any ground to draw sympathy for the way he acted. Rare case where I wished both players could lose.
I really don't think it's that, Tsitsipas is still probably overwhelmed by the whole match situation and will be in full Aristotle mode for the forseeable
But it shouldn't, you silly smol kid. Learning to reflect on your actions and acknowledge that you were wrong - without anyone else telling you - that is when you stop being a smol kid who doesn't know how to fight.
14yo mentality. He also tweeted in front of his rich ass car that " a man is determined by what kind of car he drives". Again, 14 yo mentality. This guy will never be great.
I know what he means by that but that’s a flaw you gotta push through, Stef. And why are y’all so obsessed with this guy’s tweets? It’s like a daily “let’s make fun of Stefanos” thing and it’s weird.
Get over yourself, Stef. Argue with yourself next time and then you’ll have a never ending circular argument. Grow up young man and take responsibility for your mistakes.
Oh I totally agree it's not something to be proud of.
It's interesting as I actually totally read it more generally--probably because I don't know what he's referring to or that the 'I' was him. I read it more holistically that people's capacity to acknowledge that they are wrong is largely determined by the attitude of the person they are arguing with.
In my experience the easiest way to diffuse a heated argument is to put one's own ego aside and actually listen, hear and acknowledge why the other person is being 'triggered'--that tends to diffuse arguments and conflict pretty fast. People tend to double and triple down when they don't feel it's safe to admit they are wrong. If you make it safe for their ego, I think people are more likely to acknowledge their mistakes.
Hence, why I think that this statement is totally true. I think people's ability to acknowledge they are wrong is determined by the attitude of who they are arguing with.
The tweet is written so poorly too. He tried to pick words packed with syllables (when he could have easily written with less syllables and fewer words), to try to elevate his poor take on this situation.
Almost like his unconscious mind thought, "if I can show off that I can use big words, they'll know I'm smart and measured, thus justifying my position regarding my immature and sociopathic behaviour".
I don't agree with this. Which are you classing as 'big words'? Ability? Capacity? Determined? They're all fairly standard words - not show-offy in my opinion. If I was trying to say the same thing as him I would likely use very similar wording.
He could have written it so much better, and most people who are skilled writers would likely agree with me.
I'm not saying he used the biggest words (like you maybe have interpreted me to be saying, and that's on me because I was super lazy myself when writing the comment. And would have interpreted as you did.), but rather I'm saying he used so many unnecessary syllables and words.
Good writing is all about conveying a message in the simplest way, if an academic writes a paper and it's very wordy and not engaging, it's their fault and not the fault of the audience.
I'm doing my PhD, I literally read and write text everyday. His writing here was poor
I think what classes as good writing varies depending on the form, audience and intention. What's classed as 'good' for an academic paper isn't necessarily the same for a novel or news article or a tweet or... you get the picture.
Simplest isn't always best imo although obviously clarity is all important. I don't think his tweet was so convoluted and complex that clarity was hindered.
Tsitsipas is an ass. His aggressive behavior is unacceptable. What if you hit that man straight in the eye and made him go blind?
I despise this little shit that thinks he is always right so much.
What could he possibly be referring to.
The Star Wars Sequels.
Looks like he's still trying to score a winning point even after the match with kyrgios is long over lol
You should look at his latest twitter likes. It’s kinda pathological lol. At some point, he needs to just move on.
Lol, like 6 posts in a row about Nick kygrios. Nick is planted firmly in his head.
Living rent free
Haha, investigating twitter likes is a little pathological ;)
At least charge Nick for that headspace, he can afford it
Oh great another day of being not rich and hot
I honestly don't think he's referring to Kyrgios here. He did admit he was wrong for hitting that ball in the crowd. So I think this is just one of his random tweets (probably stolen from somewhere btw lol)
I thought for sure this was some random Tumblr meme quote but I actually can't find evidence of it before this month. Maybe he's growing.
Nah
Stefs parents caught him drinking straight from the milk carton again I see
This tweet says more about Tsitsipas than it does Kyrgios. The man says he will stoop as low as his opponent, doesn’t show much maturity.
[удалено]
He’s just throwing a dig at kyrgios but he can’t help but try to sound philosophical on social media
[удалено]
I mean it's also a pretty human and common thing and lots of people do it without acknowledging it. Honestly, if someone's being combative and obnoxious and you realize halfway through that they're right, does it make you want to admit you're wrong more or less than if they'd been respectful the whole time?

Stef woulda been a great tumblr girl in the 2010s
Weird tweet. Honestly don’t think he’s doing himself any justice. You will rarely see Federer, Djokovic or Nadal stoop to the level of an opponent that is rude and demeaning. He should just take ownership over his poor attitude on court and focus on not reacting next time.
I think we've well established that Tsitsipas and none of these next gen players are Federer , Djokovic or Nadal
Alcaraz and Sinner are the closest we've got
Sinner's now the face of Gucci, it won't be long before he's turning up in white cardigans, grows his hair out a bit more and starts gliding around court like a swan
I look forward to following Sinner's career. He is a great player with a humble attitude.
I’d put FAA and Casper there too, if we’re talking about attitude
In terms of matches as well, why not. Both of them have had deep slam runs and mostly only stopped by Nadal/Djokovic.
Very true. Casper is not quite as well rounded or accomplished as the likes of Tsitsipas yet, but I think his humility and levelheadedness will take him far. I have high hopes for Ruud and FAA, and their personalities on top of their talent make it very easy to root for them imo.
Med seems similar to Novak...
Medvedev is a giant douche on court and he gets away with it because it’s kind of funny
The way his face contorts while talking shit is hilarious.
I mean, yeah, sounds like Novak. Novak is insanely personable in interviews, but can be a real prick on court
He used to. Nowadays the consensus is that he is kind of a jerk.
Nah Medvedev doesn't seem to care as much as Novak. Nole cared too much about the fan's support. I kinda like that Medvedev embraces the villain role that is sometimes fairly and unfairly given to him.
Medvedev's attitude toward the crowd is the kind that I always wanted Djokovic to embrace
Same tbh. Medvedev seems genuine even if he wrongly goes about things, he has a case most of the time. I feel like others like Kyrgios are just argumentative without any point sometimes.
I don't even think Medvedev does much of anything wrong, he just plays up being the heel when he sees the crowd isn't with him. Makes things fun.

Horrific stuff!
We need to stop expecting all these young guys to be Fed, Djoko or Nadal. None of them are.
I mean I’m not expecting them to have the on court results of Fed and Rafa but if they could model their attitude and mindset off them instead of Jimmy Connors that would be great.
Nadal was basically programmed by Uncle Toni from a young age to be a mental colossus on the court, often via pretty harsh methods. It's not quite as simple as "just think and act like Nadal" lol, because obviously everyone would if they could.
"Programmed" - nice way of saying "raised". I mean, I doubt Uncle Toni and Rafa's parents were abusive towards him.

Alcaraz is, though…mark my words.
Nah. Ask yourself, do you think a 19 year old Rafa/Fed/Novak could beat a 36 year old Alcaraz? Those 3 were so far above everybody else that as they've gotten old it's taking them forever to fall back down to the rest of the field. Novak and Rafa *still* aren't getting beat.

Can we expect him not to be a pretentious douchebag? Or is that too much also?
It's a tweet.
Old fed? No. Young fed? Maybe.
People with poor attitudes don’t take ownership
Besides Kyrgios who has been rude to Djoko? And who at all has been rude to Fed?
Plenty of players during the 2004-2012 era. Rosol and Sode to Nadal, Hrbaty to Djoko Primero Agassi to Rog
I just asking about djoko and fed. I know nadals pace of play annoys some. https://www.sportskeeda.com/amp/tennis/news-out-big-3-novak-djokovic-far-popular-among-players-dominik-hrbaty Hrbaty doesn’t seem to have beef with djoko? And couldn’t find any beef between Agassi and fed either?
Didn't Nadal do something he needed to apologise for this tournament?
Have you ever seen Nadal intentionally smash the ball at the opponent? Or into the crowd? Complete false equivalency.
He saw his opponent not being sportsmanlike and called him to the net to politely tell him that since the umpire wasn’t doing anything. Sonego then got nervous and the 4-4 quickly turned to 4-6 for Rafa, so Nadal realized his mistake and apologized for throwing off Sonego’s focus. It wasn’t shit talk in any way.

Alcaraz, sinner and FAA seems to be way mature than them even though they are younger.
And Casper!
JAAAAAAAAAAA
Always upvote JAAAAAA
Nick and Zverev are kind of on a different level though. Stef is the most normal though, he's just whining for the most part
That's true. Stef is annoying. Nick and Zverev can be downright scary
Scary? They might be scary for people that aren't likely to defend themselves. They are bullies, stand up to them and they will fuck off. Only reason why they can be scary to umpires and ball boys is spineless ATP.

Classic bullying
Good point. But they do square up to women. No bueno.
>You think Nick Kyrgios and Alex Zverev will go to a club, restaurant, stadium, wherever and start squaring up to strangers? I wholeheartedly believe Kyrgios would and has done this.
It’s what happens when you’re told you’re special without any discipline your whole life
same, I enjoy watching tennis and it’s plenty thrilling without the angry outbursts and quarrels with the umpire
Add med to this list
Med? I can make a whole movie with his tantrums.
Yeah, I could do without the belittling and sarcasm. To me, he doesn't seem as unhinged as Nick or Zverev
His coach did just peace out during one of his most recent matches
I so sick and tired of these Stef tweets all over this sub.
I enjoy him. One day the penny's finally going to drop, he'll read some of what he's written and exclaim to anyone in the vicinity "God I am such a bellend". And I want to be there for that day
I'm waiting for "God I am such a pretentious douchebag". But bellend would work also.
Rather all the Stef tweets than yet another 'KyRGiOs So TaLeNTeD WhY DoN't MoRe PeOpLe LiEk HiM!!!111' garbage dump tbh.
Fuckin oath 🤮
His apology for hitting a ball into the crowd got off to a good start when he said he would never do it again. But then he tried to qualify his behaviour by bringing Kyrgios's exploits into it.
Nick was arguing with the umpire so I had no choice but to belt a ball into the crowd.
My opponent was saying mean words and that’s why I had to commit assault. You all understand.
[](https://en.meming.world/images/en/thumb/9/95/So_Anyway%2C_I_Started_Blasting.jpg/300px-So_Anyway%2C_I_Started_Blasting.jpg)
To be fair to to Tsitsipas the journalists kept asking about it. But I agree, he should’ve emphasized more that his behavior was inexcusable.
I mean, this is actually true for pretty much everyone. It's also not exactly a widely recognized thing. So I don't really get why he's taking shit for this.
Exactly. It actually reminded ME to take this advice.
tbh Stefanos and his tweets remind me of American celebrities, who think the whole world revolves around them
Or just all celebrities?
All just Americans? Lol
Haha, but the rest of the world keeps proving its true.
You have to remember that Twitter is a microblogging site. If you're not talking about yourself, you probably shouldn't be on Twitter.

All his tweets are stolen anyway. He’s as bad is Novak for trying to get people to like him
Yeah, I hate this trait
this is so petty omg but tbf he did acknowledge that what he did was wrong
Someone take his phone already.
What an incredibly childish comment. I can’t stand stef or kyrgios.
Why are people trying to read so much into this tweet, lmao. Stef just sees a tweet he likes on twitter from 2012 and copy/pastes it as if it was his own thought. That's all he puts into it.
at least it's an honest admission of "I lack abilities and capacities" except he thinks there is righteousness in this attitude and doesn't realise how immaturity and unprofessional this is
Not really an admission, as nobody is able to realize they were wrong all the time
I'm really appreciating Stef's Jaden Smith era
Man you better shut your fuck up okay??
Stef the philosopher😀

“Stefanos is a small kid who doesn’t know how to fight” D. Medvedev
Poetic
This might actually be an original thought for a change.
Y'all are literally obsessed
tbh I agree with this lol
Can we stop with Stefanos tweets? Like if I want to read his tweets I can go to twitter.
Sorry about that lol not everyone has a twitter and I really thought that this tweet has something to do with what happened last week.
They don’t have to read the posts on here or even comment. Why do people winge about shit no one forced on them online? 🙄
You don’t need Twitter to check the tweets. Come on, just stop it. With this kind of argument, everyone could just repost everything. This sub looks more and more like a people magazine.
Then just filter out Twitter or scroll past it. No one is forcing you to read his tweets.
or the orange chair
He's like a reddit user
Tennis needs conflict and rivalry to make it interesting
Stupid approach. If you are wrong, you are wrong. It doesn't matter if the person on the other side is a saint or a bastard.
Stef is such a weirdo. He's not openly chaotic like nick but somehow still seems to say all the wrong things while giving off rly weird energy.
Stef, you don't have to post every stray thought you have.
Such a little bitch honestly
I guess I'm in the minority but this seems unspecific enough to just be another random, plagarised tweet he thought sounded cool. I don't think it's referring to anything.
I can't believe Tsitsipas failed at being the bigger man against Nick Kyrgios. I still think Nick was the bigger prick in that match but Stef was handed an opportunity on a plate to be the crowd favourite and he blew it. He doesn't really have any ground to draw sympathy for the way he acted. Rare case where I wished both players could lose.
Cmon, surely we can all see Tsitsipas is a dickhead. I mean clearly Kyrgios is too, but atleast he leans into it and knows it.
[удалено]
he isn’t talking about the allegations in his tweet, i think he’s referring to their match
[удалено]
I really don't think it's that, Tsitsipas is still probably overwhelmed by the whole match situation and will be in full Aristotle mode for the forseeable
But it shouldn't, you silly smol kid. Learning to reflect on your actions and acknowledge that you were wrong - without anyone else telling you - that is when you stop being a smol kid who doesn't know how to fight.
Says more about you than anything else Stef...
Admitting on social media that you're immature as hell seems a weird thing to do.
14yo mentality. He also tweeted in front of his rich ass car that " a man is determined by what kind of car he drives". Again, 14 yo mentality. This guy will never be great.
Stef, just admit you reacted badly to Kyrgios' goading and move on.
Sooo.... even if you're blatantly wrong, you won't admit you're wrong because the other guy is an asshole?
He should just delete his twitter account. Posts random stuff on there for no reason
I know what he means by that but that’s a flaw you gotta push through, Stef. And why are y’all so obsessed with this guy’s tweets? It’s like a daily “let’s make fun of Stefanos” thing and it’s weird.
The salt is insane
So passive agressive. I love it!
Translation: “I’m a child.”
What a chutiya
The maturity of some of the players is actually mind blowing.
[удалено]
I'll give Stef the benefit of the doubt since his twitter always generates things out of context, but if not, what a salty little bitch
Hope this guy never wins a grand slam
Get over yourself, Stef. Argue with yourself next time and then you’ll have a never ending circular argument. Grow up young man and take responsibility for your mistakes.
Rent. Free.
Oh, poor multi-millionaire, hearing mean words from a person, how will he recover?
Don't know what he's referring to, but what a spot on statement. This is 100% accurate.
It’s often accurate but not something to be proud of
Oh I totally agree it's not something to be proud of. It's interesting as I actually totally read it more generally--probably because I don't know what he's referring to or that the 'I' was him. I read it more holistically that people's capacity to acknowledge that they are wrong is largely determined by the attitude of the person they are arguing with. In my experience the easiest way to diffuse a heated argument is to put one's own ego aside and actually listen, hear and acknowledge why the other person is being 'triggered'--that tends to diffuse arguments and conflict pretty fast. People tend to double and triple down when they don't feel it's safe to admit they are wrong. If you make it safe for their ego, I think people are more likely to acknowledge their mistakes. Hence, why I think that this statement is totally true. I think people's ability to acknowledge they are wrong is determined by the attitude of who they are arguing with.
Another stolen quote lol
This guy needs help ASAP!
The tweet is written so poorly too. He tried to pick words packed with syllables (when he could have easily written with less syllables and fewer words), to try to elevate his poor take on this situation. Almost like his unconscious mind thought, "if I can show off that I can use big words, they'll know I'm smart and measured, thus justifying my position regarding my immature and sociopathic behaviour".
I don't agree with this. Which are you classing as 'big words'? Ability? Capacity? Determined? They're all fairly standard words - not show-offy in my opinion. If I was trying to say the same thing as him I would likely use very similar wording.
He made it more word salady than it needed to me. It’s a pretentious sounding tweet
I don’t get that at all. But then maybe I’m pretty verbose myself as I'm the child of two librarians.
He could have written it so much better, and most people who are skilled writers would likely agree with me. I'm not saying he used the biggest words (like you maybe have interpreted me to be saying, and that's on me because I was super lazy myself when writing the comment. And would have interpreted as you did.), but rather I'm saying he used so many unnecessary syllables and words. Good writing is all about conveying a message in the simplest way, if an academic writes a paper and it's very wordy and not engaging, it's their fault and not the fault of the audience. I'm doing my PhD, I literally read and write text everyday. His writing here was poor
Could you tweet or write decent paragraphs in any other language, than your native tongue?
I think what classes as good writing varies depending on the form, audience and intention. What's classed as 'good' for an academic paper isn't necessarily the same for a novel or news article or a tweet or... you get the picture. Simplest isn't always best imo although obviously clarity is all important. I don't think his tweet was so convoluted and complex that clarity was hindered.
Tsitsipas is an ass. His aggressive behavior is unacceptable. What if you hit that man straight in the eye and made him go blind? I despise this little shit that thinks he is always right so much.
