Mbappe is right, Mao Zedong is a dictator and China is a totalitarian state.
My name is Alexander Zverev and I am the next ATP World no.1.
Sinner said Mediterranean & flamboyant. A man who is a PR trained bot just copy pasted the two most obvious words associated with Carlos. We have now gone from calling him 'salty' to 'evil' to 'racist'. 😭
Can someone explain what is offensive about this? Like I am genuinely trying to understand here.
#Sinner a Repubblica: “La mia rivalità con #Alcaraz che piace al mondo? Non siamo tutti uguali, i contrasti esaltano. Magari io vengo vissuto come il campione disciplinato e ostinato e Carlos come quello mediterraneo e stravagante. Questa è la cosa bella, avere qualcuno che ti spinge al limite. E il tennis ha sempre vissuto di questo: da Borg-McEnroe a Sampras-Agassi fino a quando la rivalità a due è diventata a tre con Federer-Nadal-Djokovic“
Anyone who supports this kind of over reaction needs help. CCP just keeps bullying ppl into total submission. Even Chinese celebs have to constantly walk on eggshells cuz you can get into trouble & get cancelled over anything.
🚨💣 CONFIRMED: China State TV SUSPENDS La Liga coverage after Kylian Mbappé’s comments on Mao Zedong. @EFEnoticias ❌
I understand ppl revere Mao in China cuz the country's industrial base & infrastructure was established under him but it's completely possible that not everyone is educated about everything & this is completely blown out of proportion.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mao Zedong is under any single social metric a dictator. Not a single popular election, single government party and lifetime leadership. Not even taking into account the millions of deaths under his reign.

Cummins getting cooked but that man has always been open about his inability to read pitches. Wonder what the rest of the coaching staff is doing. As usual, being tactically inept. I mean this is the same bunch that thinks batting order is overrated.
Andrew McDonald: Dude isn't assertive enough & goes with everything Cummins says.
Daniel Vettori: Sucks ass.
Pat Cummins: Can't read the pitch, doesn't care about batting order, can be passive as f*ck.
This is just blind leading the blind at this point.
You want him to play despite not being 100% and sabotage whatever is left of the team's chances? So you can then drag him for being selfish??
My hot take is that Sinner would have hired JCF if he wanted him & believed that he'd help him do better. They are all adults & Carlos let JCF go voluntarily so it's not necessarily 'poaching'. If he hired Magnus, it's because he genuinely believed he's the better option.
Let's go. I was waiting to see this 'Binner is ruthless' narrative cuz his inability to cut the umbilical cord was getting tiring.
“These things happen, no? Sometimes you've feelings for someone maybe you shouldn’t but this is life. You've to accept it & try to do your best. For me, tennis is important so I try to stay focused on that. There are other things in life also no? So yeah, let’s see whats coming."
Binner must be under the delusion that his alleged return to tennis must be the talk of the town. As always, aesthetic Italian prince Musetti stole his thunder.
Tbh, all this SKS thing might still result in him withdrawing again or the event itself getting cancelled but the fact that he's considering participation is positive enough cuz we are in the trenches. 😂
