Thanks for the information. The aluminum is definitely thicker-walled than most later aluminum rackets were. I like the extra heft. I think it is a great racket; it feels solid when you hit the ball,...

Okay, this is fast becoming a "Broph" style argument, so I'm going to skip some of the fluff here and get back to the actual issue:
I realize the players are aware of the tie-break format before...

Yes, arguments work by, at the very least, responding to arguments with arguments of your own, which you were not doing.
And you misidentified and mischaracterized the "implicit premise".

This is getting way off track. Go ahead and answer this question:
On average, does a single lucky or unlucky shot have a greater impact on the results of a tie-break or on the results of an ordinary...

A coin-toss or racket spin to determine who serves first is often a component of tennis as well, though few people would call them tennis. The tie-break was simply added in around 1970 to a game with...

As they say, "It ain't over till the fat lady sings." Sometime around 7-7 or 8-8 he could start figuring out his opponent's serve, or the opponent could get tired, mentally and/or physically. Any...

Agreed 100%.
Yeah, the "super tie-break" is a complete joke, along with the WTT style of play IMO.
LOL, I'll keep that in mind. However, if you play at 5.0 level, you'd smoke me. That's around the...

Your crystal ball is in need of repair. This thread is about tie-breaks, regardless of who they affect.
BTW, I'm not really a fan of any of the modern players.
That has nothing to do with anything...

It doesn't show anything of the sort. When the opponent beats you by 2 games, that shows you deserved to lose the set. Losing a tie-break at 7-0 only shows you deserved to lose the tie-break, which...
