Well if you're talking Thiem, I'm gonna call it; he's going down early! These guys are all the same; a great win, then go into the next event wasted! I'll be surprised if he wins 2 matches even with a bye! Checking the draw, he might go out in his 1st match in the 2nd round to Raonic who's quite able and likely to serve Dom right off the court!

Raonic? Not bloody likely. He's got injury issues, he's barely above 50% for the year, and he moves like a sloth through jello.

I have a perfect natural and rational reason to hate Zverev: I don't like his necklaces.

I never hate anyone for a specific reason. Hating based on a specific reason gets you into trouble with laws on protected classes. You can get sued by people who wear necklaces, for example.

That is why I always hate those whom I hate for the unique individual they happen to be.

Joking aside, it's irrational and personal. I do it, we all do. But there are a few players who tend to find themselves on the wrong side of the beneficence of the forums, and I do sometimes wonder why.

I always think hate isn’t the right term. Dislike is more proper. Is the word hate used in another term meaning in your countries?
Hate , in my understanding, always consists of something personal, I didn’t know anyone of them personally, and what is more important, they didn’t nothing bad to me. So I surely didn’t hate them.
But the jokes are funny, and to have some fun in this forum isn’t forbidden. Am I right?

I hate that. The only fundamental human right I recognize is the right to hate. If they prohibit hate speech, fine. I can silently hate. I can sit down and just hate. I can sit down and think that I hate to meditate, as well. It always makes me feel better when I spend long hours quietly focusing on my hate for meditation.

And Zverev's necklaces.
