    What are your hot takes

    Wimbledon should be played on a synthetic turf surface that mimics R1 grass and stays consistent throughout the fortnight.

    Sinner.. was a fan but boy what a boring player..

    The Med return position on 2nd serves is a deal breaker. Someone please learn a C- level serve and volley, or start sending in 20+ underarm serves.

    Crazy lopsided US Open - 3/4 win probability of a single quarter thanks to Sinner and Medvedev!

    Nothing tops the Wimby '13 quarter that went from Fedal to all Poland all the time. ("HOW MANY TIMES?") 2nd place is US '14 Nishi/Chilly Super Saturday.

    Tiafoe is not good.

    His weird duck walk is certainly unique...

    How will Grigor 'Grigorius' 'Greg' Dimitrov let his fans down at USO 2024?

    Was novak out of form or opponent played game of his life

    Statistically, defending the US Open is the most arduous achievement in the Big 3 era. No shame in coming up just a tad short.

    Who is ready to believe in Dimitrov one last time ?

    Bweh is not stopping this train! (though just in case he does)

    For those of you who believe in rigged draws…

    The rigged draws that produced what felt like a decade straight of Jokerer semis likely decided the Slam race.

    2028 Olympics - predictions

    Team USA will make a serious run at 55 gold. If they eclipse it the American media will claim that this breaks the modern record held by the Soviets. While ignoring the fact that there are now nearly 100 more events.

    Jannik Sinner tested positive twice for banned substance but investigation finds no fault

    In the ATP, once you win a slam you're "too big to ban." Too much money on the line.

    2024 Paris Summer Olympics - Sports discussion

    No "Miracle on the Hardwood, part deux". Rigging the weightlifting quota ultimately decided the medal race.

    The US has more then enough capable sprinters that they could send a relay only quartet to every Olympics. But, American pride, plus the egos of the top sprinters (who apparently are incapable of learning handoffs?) will continue to produce these gems:

    3x3 is stupid, But, it would be fun to see Curry camp out behind the line and hit 9-10 shots every round and easily win Gold.

    Swimming events that easily could be cut: 800m freestyle (it was such an easy move. instead they added more freestyle events!!!) 4x200m freestyle relay 200m individual medley The other events are similar to track. You don't see backstrokers winning gold in other individual events. That being...

    Bolt's iconic jog in 2008 was still a tenth faster than today's race.... Gonna be awhile before someone touches 9.58 Event inflation saves the US in the pool gold count. China becomes the first team to EVER beat the US men's medley relay. (had won 15 straight gold)

    An argument could be made that Marchand's 4 golds are basically equal to Phelps' 5. (I don't count relays in sports that are majority individual. Phelps would have maybe 3 career relay golds if he were French) Two non-freestyle golds (in the same day!) will stand for a long time.

    Ledecky is the best freestyler. But, hard for me to say she's the goat when none of her medals are for non-freestyle events.

    Winning a medal, in the same Olympics, in two non-freestyle strokes is probably a very small club. What Marchand just did is incredible.
