    Hamad "Jedi" Medjedovic, a Force to be reckoned with

    Oh, is Novak going to give him a watch battery to tape to his chest? Or will it be another of his "mysterious" performance enhancements?

    Hamad "Jedi" Medjedovic, a Force to be reckoned with

    Wow, some of you guys are pretty rough. You are gonna give some of us eating disorders.

    Slams Joining 10 Masters?

    I'm sorry, but this makes absolute no sense to me (and not just because this article is poorly written). What are they guys thinking? Are they so out of touch with the average fan, average person, and the overall sports landscape? First and foremost, 95% of what they are supposedly trying to...

    ATP Next Gen Finals, 11/28-12/2

    Watched a little of the semi-finals, and a good bit of the final. The level in the final seemed pretty good, withs Fils and Medjedovic playing big boy tennis at certain points, and really hitting hard. Still not convinced that the location is good for the event. I wouldn't put it past the...

    Davis cup 2023 Nov 21-26 Mallarga finals- Djokovic will play

    Oh wow, I had no idea. I guess that's what I get for avoiding the gossip rags. Anyway, I'm glad it's not a new thing, so it shouldn't disrupt his current path...

    Fils attitude is a little bothersome to me for some reason.

    Oh dear, I thought he was single as well, but this bit of trash journalism seems to imply otherwise. I guess the good part is that it implies they were already dating, so seemingly she isn't bad for his tennis...

    ATP Next Gen Finals, 11/28-12/2

    No, not bad for young players... but really relatively paltry compared to the ATP tour finals. Certainly not enough to motivate someone into playing both.

    Slams Joining 10 Masters?

    Not sure how this would be a good thing, or really change much of anything. Those events already exist, so would they just get more marketing hype? As it is, I think only "hardcore" fans care about anything outside the 4 slams. None of the casuals seem to be aware of the Masters events, unless...

    ATP Next Gen Finals, 11/28-12/2

    What is the prize money? A big payout is one of the only reasons I could see someone going for it, if they perhaps don't believe in themselves and want to bank as much as they can, when they can. This sport can be fickle...

    No, actually, I didn't see him today. Just a few games from his match against Fils. But I see the scoreline doesn't look great.

    Ha, just saw him for the first time, and this description is pretty much perfect. I've seen 55 year olds with more toned and athletic legs than him.

    What's embarrassing about Nardi? He pushed Fils down to the wire in their match.

    2023 Yonex VCores

    I also have the 23 Vcore 95 and 21 Vcore Pro 97 in my bag right now. I agree that the paint on the 97 is a little nicer, since it's one of the best looking racquets out there, but I still think the red on the 95 is quite nice as well. In terms of play, while they are generally similar and easy...

    ATP Next Gen Finals, 11/28-12/2

    Every time I start to think something like this, I see Djokovic or Nadal (or so many other examples) playing in some exhibition that seems completely unnecessary. We have that upcoming Saudi exo with Djokovic and Aclaraz, that seems like a terrible decision for both of them. Not just in terms of...

    Nobody beats Djokovic twice in a row at the same tournament!

    ATP Next Gen Finals, 11/28-12/2

    @Znak and @Baseline_Bungle Ok, I see what you mean now. I just watched a little of the Fils v Nardi match replay, and indeed it sounded like they were playing in a school cafeteria during lunchtime. Certainly sounded like kids. Anyway, it is indeed a shame that they do these things for the...

    How so? Serious question, as I haven't seen any of it yet. Curious as to what happened.

    Nobody beats Djokovic twice in a row at the same tournament!

    How often does Jannik ever play doubles? I mean, it doesn't really tell us anything, but Jannik was way better than Novak in that doubles match.

    Davis cup 2023 Nov 21-26 Mallarga finals- Djokovic will play

    I regularly check the Corriere Dello Sport site (not because it is good, it's actually pretty bad, but because la Gazzetta virtually ignores my preferred team), and I've never seen so attention given to tennis, and Jannik in particular. Even today, two days later and with Champions League...

    Nobody beats Djokovic twice in a row at the same tournament!

    But apparently somebody (named Jannik) can beat him twice in one day!

    Davis cup 2023 Nov 21-26 Mallarga finals- Djokovic will play

    As usual, I don't post over the weekends, so here are my reactions: QFT Sinner really spared them the embarrassment of this senseless decision. What were they thinking? Kecmanovic was playing really well, yes, but surely Sonego or Arnaldi would have at least put up a better fight. Musetti had...

    Davis cup 2023 Nov 21-26 Mallarga finals- Djokovic will play

    Draper had one good tournament (losing to Mannarino) and a few other decent results here and there, so that is enough to make any British player the next big thing. They are the ones who invented the "Big 4" after all...

    Davis cup 2023 Nov 21-26 Mallarga finals- Djokovic will play

    Yes, if Sinner skips the first tie, they have a strong chance of being eliminated immediately. And I'm glad you are on team 'anyone-but-Musetti.' His on court attitude is so frustrating to watch. That he is the favorite of the federation somehow doesn't surprise me. It's like Zaniolo on the...
