When Meddy lost to Nadal in 5 at the AO rematch of their US Open final, THAT was when it was over for me.
Still, some remained optimistic, especially after his Wimby performance, but it doesn't matter...
every now and then random players make a run at Wimbledon.
 
I'm curious, what are the tax rates like there for the Israeli athletes who earn a lot of money?? Is it higher, lower, or about the same as the USA percentage-wise??
First of all tennis is unique sport,you play in different countries every week(paying taxes there)
In israel you are not paying extra taxes(after you paid in country you currently work) if you live outside israel for 9 months of the year.
 
Just saw the result, tough loss for Daniil :sad:

However, Opelka can be very dangerous on grass for anyone with his service. Ideal surface for servebotting.

What on earth is going on with MeddyBear?

MeddyBear was an integral part of the hyped New Big 3 together with Zverev and Ttsisipas, but he hasn't won a tournament for more than 2 years as I recall and it is almost 4 years ago since he won his single Slam at USO 2021.
 
3 DFs in the second-set breaker from Medvedev sealed the deal.

Medvedev was terrible against Mannarino and this wasn't much better.
Imagine being dumb enough to even hit 1 when you know on this surface that it's almost enough to lose the tiebreak against a guy with THAT type of serve.

Handing out free coupons Medvedev was.... lol
 
Great win for Reilly very happy for him hope he wins the title and stays healthy!
 
Dude he is playing not for himsef(he will be ok),he is doing this for his kids future.
Next time dont bring wrong numbers
I didn’t bring “wrong numbers.” His kid will be fine as well. Saying that medvedev isn’t that rich is just a ridiculous take. His whole family is set for life. It’s not like his take home after everything is barely enough to break even
 
:smash: :smash: that number is before taxes.
and before you say he is living in Monaco,you pay taxes in countries you play.
For example 3,5 million us open win in commie state(NY income tax) ,leaves you with around HALF.
And he plays for his CHILDREN future!!!!
Actually he loses 30% off the top which is foreign tax but then living in Monaco he avoids double taxation.
 
He is not that rich,has alot sponsors so he will play until they dump him.
Ive also heard bill gates isnt that rich either

Dude he is playing not for himsef(he will be ok),he is doing this for his kids future.
Next time dont bring wrong numbers
What are you smoking? Or are you talking 46m rupees?
 
He’s literally in the top .1% of the wealthiest people in the world. Acting like he is in the poor house because of some taxes is just delusional. If his kids can’t live off of $45+ million then they have other problems cause the rest of the world does fine off of way less. Please come back to reality.
 
Opelka knocked this dude out of the top 10. No way he deserved to be in the top 10 anyway. Haven't won a title in over two years!
It's taking WAY too long to get aging filler out of the top 10, but we're almost there. Four new top 10ers this year. 2024 & 2025 have been exciting transitional years.
