‘Barely broke a sweat’

"I don't mean to offend Lorenzo, but he does not belong on the same tennis court as the mighty Jannik Sinner. He is nothing more than a greasy little fu@#$% tuscan spaghetti merchant with a shitty forehand and a worse backhand. A nobody, a stepping stone and as everyone expected I just stepped over Lorenzo to the semi-final. I have taken shits that have lasted longer than that tennis match I just played. I barely broke a sweat against a guy how underwhelming and yes they told me they are making me play some fu@#$ Canadian hockey player on Friday, how pathetic," he said after the game.
