I just noticed this. A curious choice IMO. I occasionally checked the player profiles as the stat breakdowns were interesting, but not sure how many out there would be willing to pay for that kind of content.

I remember that the tennis stats page "Tennis Profiler" categorized players into maybe five or so different types based on the statistical profiles of the players. From what I recall: - Retriever / counter-puncher (relies a lot on errors from the opponent). - Tempo players (take the ball early...

A good chablis would be nice to have on hand. Craft IPA, perhaps from Nøgne Ø or something, would also work. Or a Belgian wit. A constant supply of Scotch might be too much. But a good speyside with subtle smoke would not get boring.

my takeaway here is that stefan kozlov is the moral winner of the Australian Open

lmao, i had no idea the match was this crazy some of the weirdest stuff i have seen on a court of course it had to involve kozlov and dimitrov

Ah yes the daily "federer: fraud or god" thread Can't wait to see if TTW gets to the bottom of this

Lucky loser Koz beats unlucky loser Dimitrov. Legendary. Bull is in deep trouble, should he get there.

I have to assume that his chances would have improved. Both the jump up and down in weight and having his eye socket caved in by GGG took a lot out of him. As it was, he was already winning rounds and giving Spence a good fight for most of the bout. A fascinating thought. I'm not buying it...

Therese Johaug is the best endurance athlete in the world, the craziest engine. Will be interesting to see if she gives a bit more effort into track running after this, in the fall of her career.

Oh dear, Khan on jelly legs in the first round:laughing: *** edit: at this pace, you'd think that Khan will eventually tire and Brook will get to him.

I am currently halfway through this one. In a curious way, I both find the book somewhat dated / of its time, yet still also very modern at the same time. There are extended discussions about rationality vs. emotion, a topic that was both very much typical of its period, but not that dissimilar...

to quote the venerable SoBad, this should not come as a surprise in an era "when the likes of Sampras and Kafelnikov battled all-time greats in virtually each and every slam round."

And that is just the shortlist. Davydenko, Nalbandian, Baghdatis, Schüttler, Kafelnikov and Krickstein should all at the very least enter the debate.

how canadian of him

No. Drawing hard, categorical distinctions between prime / non-prime is clearly arbitrary and nonsensical. In this case, for instance, saying that a 30 and 31-year-old Sampras (USO 01-02) was in his prime but a 30-year-old Federer (AO12) was not in his prime is an entirely arbitrary...

That one version of a player can be better than another version of a player doesn't at all mean that it's fruitful to make categorical distinctions between prime and non-prime. This is entirely arbitrary, a lazy way of thinking, and if we delved deeper into it, we would readily see that it rests...

In your unsubstantiated and motivated opinion, that is.

An entirely arbitrary distinction that you may tailor to suit whatever argument you wish. In reality there is no clear-cut binary distinction between prime / non-prime. It's the folly of lazy thinking.

I'm guessing most would have Djokovic and Federer as the two best hard court players ever. I don't see how one can maintain that and still pick Agassi as the substantially greater HC player. Yeah, Rafa didn't beat Fed/Nole in every title run, but he did both beat them and lose potential titles...

^ thinking about it some more, I really have no idea about this one. They have both been so inactive in recent years that there is little go go by to gauge their form, or how they will respond to making weight in their current states. Looking back at it, Brook did have a bit more success early...

you would probably say this if rembrandt graffitied his name on the front door too smh philistines

Ok but in a few generations, kozlov will be recognized as the true artist of this generation, like van gogh. Fedal will just be period fads who were popular in their own time.

Safiullin destroys world number four Tsitsipas. Right on track for a year-end top five in 2022. #NextIsHere

I have honestly not paid much attention to this one, so wouldn't know. It seems to be a big thing in the UK, understandably. Khan's mandible vs. Brook's eye socket. I am tempted to go against the odds and say Khan late, Brook to be drained at the weight. Who you got?

Sadistic

sounds like an all too familiar scenario from one of your legendary PF Chang visits !

Essentially every player listed in OP hits some variation of the modern forehand..

destiny is finally catching up with Stefan

Maria will coach him now.
