Wilander in '88 was also the hardcourt 128 draw best of five triple... Can't be done again

The trajectory of the ball clearly would have had an impact point with the ground in line with the white wristband on Draper's arm, had he not played the ball. That is an impact point 6-7 inches behind the actual impact point that occurred with the racket, clearly well in front of ground...

There is no double bounce There is also no double-hit with the racket. Ball changes trajectory close to the racket face, not caused by second contact with the racket face, but by the topspin kicking in after an initial delay Topspin is generated from the racket frame pushing the ball at force...

You can clearly see the racket PUSH the ball into the court. As a player you would know you haven't picked that ball up air first or after a legit bounce because the approaching open racket face of the racket upon impact instantly closes in a downwards motion, and the racket is lifted 3 inches...

"Unacknowledged Double bounce at match point costs FAA the match!" There wasn't a double bounce. You can see from the trajectory and angulation of the incoming ball that the ball clearly hit racket first and ground fractionally after. ( Point FAA) Flight path of the ball after hitting racket is...

Can and will Alcaraz meet his the potential and fulfill a quest that results in six consecutive AELTC trophies... It's not been done since the 1880's and never been done playing through the draw:- Borg won five in a row then runner's up in the sixth to the guy he beat for the fifth (had...

Another record is Grand-Slam 6/0 sets:- Djokovic = 48 - 4 Federer = 43 - 3 Connors = 43 - 6 Nadal = 40 - 2 Sampras = 10 - 1

Djokovic at 1), 2), 6), 7), 8) And only -1 at 4) & 5) to make it 6/8 or 7/8 At some point you have to hand Djokovic the past It's interesting to note, on the then list, Federer was 6/8 on the shelves Only the future can unshelve Djokovic, the past is a wrap.

If you're looking at longevity then the Swedish players all underachieved; starting with Borg So Borg beats Wilander 6-1, 6-1, Geneva clay/September '81, and eight months later Wilander goes on to collect RG '82 vacated by Borg. Borg must have been crying in his beer, especially with that final...

This woman is younger and hotter than F-M-C And when she's F-M-C's age another woman will be younger and hotter

Great Stat... Even when you reverse the stats, Djokovic comes out on top... Most Slam Finals won after having dropped at least a set:- 1) Djokovic = 14 2) Nadal = 13 3) Federer = 10 And Further... Most Slam Finals won after dropping two sets:- 1) Djokovic = 5 (Lost 2) 2)= Nadal = 4 (Lost...

Higher peak ELO rating ~ 1) Novak 2629 Nadal has bigger yacht... Nadal has bigger salt dispenser on table

Alcaraz is clearly rotating into a slump after a high end start of the year on outdoor hardcourts. Started the year on outdoor hard 10-0 in matches and 20-0 in sets IW thru Miami up to playing Sinner in Miami. Since then he's not won in 6 hardcourt tournaments and struggled in these matches:-...

It's going down to Torino... Even if Alcaraz goes Vienna/Basel WIN, Paris WIN and Djokovic goes nowhere Even if Djokovic goes Paris WIN and Alcaraz goes nowhere... Who's going to get out of Torino with the prize?

Humbert's game and intensity makes him a winner

Djokovic goes to Paris level with Alcaraz or ahead, so No.1 on his racket, not chasing They could meet in semis/finals Atp cup, potentially one match decides YE No.1/... One reason why Djokovic didn't overplay after US Open is because several of the last years he has had a cold...

And a reversal of the semis where he saved 5 match points spread out over several games and even saved three in a row in the tiebreak... He actually led 6-1, 4-0 and 40/40 on Pellegrino's serve, which meant at the time he had won 20 of 24 games played, going back to the semi-final. Not as easy...

Over the long haul, Nadal running 100% intensity on clay and 50% everywhere else is going to encounter problems with the level of somebody running 75% on everything, everywhere.

With respect the last 2 segments, the guys kept passing the torch around to one another, the torch never went out on whomever wasn't holding it at any particular time.

The Italians create super elite fast cars and high fashion, as well as being masters of the Giallo. There is always a savage plot twist that you don't see coming. This guy is well and truly in the mix. Let's see how it pans out.

Djokovic conversion rate is 1/3 of all events played, as it stands Federer's conversion rate is just below 1/4 of all events played Djokovic needs to win 3 out of the next 9 entered to keep his conversion rate compared with Federer's conversion rate, over the same number of Slams played.

Djokovic winning nearly 1/3 of all events played and Nadal winning less than halfway between a 1/4 and a 1/3 of all events played. Over a rollover of 4 tournaments recurring you will repeatedly see it playing out...

So 24 (to be attempted in 24) isn't to tie Court; (Courting controversy by melding the women's records onto Djoko's numbers), it is to one-up the +four crowd In fact it's 23 versus 28 if you pitch Djokovic as the one against the field

Everyone goes on about the 41 match streak by Djokovic until he ran into Fed at RG 11, but forget that the rivalry was a lot closer than people think... How many people know that Fed was on an 11 match winning streak before the loss to Djokovic at AUS 11 and won 48 of 51 matches (plus conceding...

Flexibility. Mental / Physical / Spiritual Flexibility extends your reach to the ball, to the winning line, to the records, to the dreams.... Flexibility is Hunger born of an Offensive Mindset And Murray don't slide

It's likely Djokovic is playing Davis Cup to guarantee qualification for Serbian team at Olympics in 24 In the race Novak is +775 Let's say they both play Paris/YEC, will Alcaraz have made up -775 before Paris ? The No.1 switch likely hangs on Alcaraz excelling before Paris. You can say...

Let's ratchet this up a bit:- Since the beginning 2011 and start of peak period Djokovic has WON 23/48 Slams he has entered (inc USO '23) That's a WIN ratio of 47.92% over a thirteen year spread..... If you half that thirteen year spread:- You get Federer's peak six and a half years spread...

And since making US finals in '07 the ratio has accelerated out to 36/61 Which is 59.016%... The only analogy that creates the same ratio of probability comes from the 2015 film Focus:- Margot Robbie, "You can't tell me that's 100% real ?" Will Smith, "It's probabilistic, uh Farhad has...

Hard to comprehend stats. 4 titles at a standalone slam is in the higher echelon:- At AUS; Only Emerson, Federer and Djokovic have won more than 4 titles At RG: Only Cochet, Borg, Dechugis and Nadal have won more than 4 titles At AELTC: Only Laurence Doherty, Borg, Renshaw, Sampras, Djokovic...

Wrong but you're right Nice draw till finals just like 2016
