He's not the only one with a serve good enough to win it.

Not everybody plays tennis for the same reasons. The fact is, he's a celebrity, he's got tens of millions of dollars, whenever I see him play it looks like he has loads of fun doing it. People are just motivated by different things and it's possible he never would have done as well as he had...

Well, if those lines people and referees got their calls right, he wouldn't have needed to yell at them. Duh!

I noticed that adidas hats went up by $3-5 about six years ago. It doesn't surprise me that the Nike ones did too.

It's also interesting how many top juniors very quickly shed that level by winning those tournaments.

There should be a way to self report and hand over the potential contaminated product for testing, with evidence of the emergency situation requiring treatment prior to a medical exemption. If said product is found to be contaminated, if the level wouldn't provide any benefit, keep results of...

Maybe but I love the baseball type of swings! Kill itttt!!!

Maybe. I guess it depends on what you mean by this. Monfils always struck me a someone who enjoys tennis, enjoys the celebrity status that comes with it, and although I have no doubt he did work hard, never really put in the same level of dedicated hard work that someone like Murray or Del...

Is there a ball on the racquet during Nadal's follow through?

Even Medvedev. Perhaps you are confusing a backswing with what I was saying.

Lol, I agree. Imagine if the next player caught for the same substance uses, "Exposure to known contaminated player, Jannik Sinner." as their "source" of contamination.

Pick a pro, any pro. Once the swing starts moving forward to hit the ball, I don't think I've seen any pro yet that doesn't have near identical movement for shoulder, torso, hip, footwork and arm ratios to each other. Different grips and racquet swing angles doesn't change that. It's...

Tennis TV is the same.

Fantastic. mtommer says Federer is the best fast serve returner ever. Nailed it dead center bullseye.

No. And lest we forget, one SABR return is worth 1,000 Djokovic returns.

It's also about mentality. Are you someone who will sacrifice hitting balls out, a lot, to get faster and gradually better at hitting them in?

Interesting that they're on the X now but their outlet store (by me at least) stocks new 8's.

One is returning at or near the baseline, one is 20,000 ft behind it. Not equal. That it is a 2% difference just goes to show how poorly Nole returns. He should be leaps ahead. Thank you for showing and admitting how much better Federer is.

It's not an exaggeration, it's an appreciation and something that Djokovic doesn't elicit in kind. Many of us don't give two flips what anyone one standing twenty feet behind the baseline can return. Get your behind upto or inside the baseline and make consistent and great returns. If you...

Normally, I'd agree but I've been vocal as to where I believe that type of endurance comes from, for any player frankly and I'm not a fan of any tennis player. That said, I won't get into again.

In other words, he couldn't hack it at the real tournaments so he had to focus on the Olympics. Bwaaahhhaaaaaaa........haaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhaaahhahaaahaaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaaa............

Because Federer has always been better at tennis. Federer won by skill. Djokovic by endurance and flexibility.

Kudos for your honesty. Would that most here stop trying to "debate" whatever subject they're pushing and just be honest.

I have before. They're just socks to me. The thinner ones are nice in the summer geat since I'm a heavy sweater. That said, this is true of all brands with the same thickness and material that I've come across, which are numerous.

I'm sorry, but who?

I think this only true for those sports where the Olympics are the major showcase for that sport. For sports with their own major showcase, I think there are many athletes and people in general that are "meh" on the Olympics. Tennis is a great example of this. Some care, some don't. When...

How could I think that, oh great intellectual one?

I've actually stated my experience before. I've been a part of Nats at the Zoo for well over a decade. While there may very well be reasons to criticize the bodies spoken of here, those with real experience with said bodies wouldn't make your claims. All your criticisms amount to is: "I, the...

So, no names? You haven't worked with them at all? You have no personal relationship with any of them? Not even friends with just one? No personal knowledge with regards to what they do or do not care about? Do you know if they even play tennis?

I didn't ask you what you thought. I asked you to name who, exactly. Now, answer the question.
