How can Djokovic respond next time they play to all this you listed?

Well John McEnroe stated they should be able to review it soon after at least to determine if it's blatantly unintentional and no one got hurt (some degree of discretion). So I'm not the only one who thinks there's room for flexibility to the rule to prevent "overkill".

Pressure from Djokovic has broken the dam

This is insane. The rule is overkill and needs to soften to some warning or lesser. Stupid

3 Big Toes and 1 Pinkie

187-190 or 6'2 - 6'3 looks like optimal tennis height for men today. I wonder if it's going to be 6-4+ in 10 years. When does it stop? I'm 1.83, past the golden age of 6ft dominance.

measuring in feet is the only thing that makes sense because one's foot can be used to measure things without a measuring tape. all these are jokes

As ridiculously outdated as it sounds, one can easily measure things literally just using his feet, if has no measuring tape. I do this as my size is roughly 12 inches. Have to know both here, but on the other hand, Americans only have to know one universal language at least lol

Why don't they play more grass tournaments to match the pinnacle of tennis surface?

Why isn't the National Tennis Center named after Jack Kramer who was the leading advocate for professional tennis and a champion player, paving the way for Billie Jean King? Was he even considered? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kramer

Because he won 3 slams in 3 different venues. Murray only 2 and on the outdated grass surface twice.

It was invented. IF it did exist it was Wawrinka as the 4th big.

Some people are hesitant to pick as they have not seen Otte play yet

Bencic or Swiatek were my picks, so now it's Bencic.

I picked Harris after watching a few games in the first set, seeing how much less resistance Opelka gave with Harris serving.

And?

Very good points. Future changes are unpredictable and this estimate assumes homogenization.

Settle down lol A 15 year period with 2- 3 slams per year comes out to about 38 (far from 100) and the motivation (lacking competitive Bigs playing with them at same time) would be surpassing the Big 3 as much as possible.

Well we can see Grandpa Federer has reached a limit in his Slam count, so we can expect the other 2 to continue to dominate for another 3-4 years before they hit the wall. 2024 the Lost Generation should start winnning regularly.

Not Leo Borg?

Consider today the Big 3 cancel out (or have for most of their careers) each other's total slams, but imagine in the future there is just one as talented, he should dominate and accumulate 40 slams+ over a 15-20 year period and surpass any of these with a "weaker era" situation. Agree?

Hurkacz

Fun fact: Hurkacz in Polish means "The Federer Slayer'

Hilarious commentary :-D:-D:-D. The only way to compare is by the numbers, not by visually looking at how they played with those rules and technology. And in that regard Rosewall is GOAT, beating any of the Big 3 today.

Absolutely a first from the usual hardest draw he gets.

What was the betting line, anyone know?

Roddick got me interested in tennis actually. I now think Sampras would have been earlier if I followed then.

yeah I keep hearing about him not being done, of course, he can compete on the tour, as a #10 player going to QF maybe tops.

Agreed. I think it's time to face reality - a QF actually surpassed my expectation for him (he was very lucky to get past the 1st round). This is maybe his ceiling now, as he's chosen to keep playing.
