Someone who’s good at moving a player around and can side spin the ball away on both sides. Med likes to hit the ball close to his body.

$$$ from nostalgia.

Yes, if someone knocks out Djoko for him and the other top players don’t get into a hot streak, then it’s possible to take an AO or USO.

The British aren’t the only country with honorific titles. Many European countries do as do elsewhere. Maybe even in Dubai they can make him a prince. Isn’t that a higher title than knight? Or having a British title is more prestigious than any other country’s title? I don’t know, not British...

Nadal will be at the French. Djokovic I suspect would be year end ATP WTF. That’s if he still has the ranking to qualify, else if he ends up like Sampras, then it would be at whichever is the last slam that he wins and then unexpectedly announce.

I’ve seen guys who do a whole song and dance before every serve. I think it’s from watching too many Bollywood movies.

2022 is turning out to be a memorable year for tennis. Curtain calls for Federer and Serena. NFL too with Brady retiring and then un-retiring.

Charles III?

Even D1 college guys hit as hard as the pros. I mean there are exceptions like Del Potro’s forehand. The pros don’t even hit as hard as him.

Is coaching allowed like in the WTA where the coach can go onto the court during breaks or it’s just whatever they can convey from the player’s box?

Could be as easy as coming up with a color code system. Wear a certain colored hat and it means to do something. Hand signals too, but it could get ridiculous like in baseball.

The upside are more rallies and less serve-botting.

The old Taylor Townsend and today’s Taylor Townsend has maybe a 50 lbs difference. The weight loss is dramatic.

If you’re that much of a fan, don’t play it with anymore and buy a replacement racket to play with. Doing anything to the signature including taping over it will ruin it. Best thing to do is just leave it alone and store it in a cool dry place.

JCF has done a good job. The mosquito has created a wasp.

I think a lot of “next gen” players could. The skill and talent gap between Alcaraz and the rest of the tour isn’t as great as what the big 3 had during their prime.

I think the real Osaka racket is the Ai98 which is now considered pro stock since it’s only made for her.

I am wondering if someone with short legs and long arms would do good. Rally wise, short legs allow changing direction and quickly sprinting, while the long arms make up for the shorter stature, but still generate the power. The only disadvantage would be in serving. Are there any groups of...

The racket shaking and fist pumping could be out of habit like when Nadal has to touch all the acupressure meridian points on his face before every serve.

I remember one early round slam match where he gave Federer a run for his money. It might have gone to 5 sets.

Thiem also plays like Alcaraz going all out on every shot and Thiem is always beset with injuries.

He’s also good at pretending the enjoy the tournament or maybe he really does.

Mansour Bahrami would be the perfect coach for Kyrgios.

They’re probably the same duo that pulled a similar stunt on a new bridge in Los Angeles. This guy got a haircut in the middle of the bridge in between opposing traffic. Update: Different people. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/local-2/haircut-video-sixth-street-bridge-boyle-heights/2943671/

For a minute you lead me to believe being in the top 50 at the same time with both father and son being active.

Today’s loss will almost guarantee Nadal will play next season to win another RG title.

If the writer was US based and it was for a US publication, he or she would be finished and permanently canceled. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-11176401/Serena-Williams-NOT-GOAT-despite-worshipful-cult-adoration.html

Nadal’s chances have improved with Med gone. No Djoko, no Med. #23 is within grasp.

This is beginning to be like those minutiae major league baseball stats. What are the his stats when he eats pollo versus carne the day before a match?
