Frances Tiafoe Intends to Save Tennis

Mmmmm, crow I see him ingesting...

How did the Crow taste?

Well...








"...and lacks the IQ" Think about that one for a moment.








"...no mental capacity"

It all comes out, and in force, and yet this player with "no mental capacity" and "lacks the IQ" defeated the men's majors count leader--one of the "Best of the Rest" players of all time--in convincing fashion.

Amusing how certain perceptions never, ever hold weight and tend to blow up in the faces of those who spit that out.

When Federer told Tiafoe "keep doing what you're doing", I think he could see that Tiafoe's unorthodox and unique playing style can be an advantage. The compact forehand is an advantage on fast court. The unorthodox serving motion is actually working well and can be a reliable serve (he hit less than half of Nadal's total double faults and he had a much higher winning serve percentage than Nadal).

How did the Crow taste?

I didn't eat any, and stats wise it was a better call than the outcome. Though i did dove hunt this weekend, knocking down a few dozen, and those as kababobs are excellent. They are actually in the pigeon family and it is only nomenclature that seperates them, where they are not near a crow. Actually have eaten quite a selection of wild game and birds, but never had to eat crow.

Doubt he has the fitness. He'd need to hit Nadal off the court but that's tough to do in a 5 setter.

The guy is super fit. He could play first to win 30 sets.

Because those comments took no account whatsoever of Rafa’s issues with his form in the previous three rounds.

Members claiming Tiafoe "...lacks the IQ" and has "...no mental capacity" are the key takeaways. Speaks volumes.

Not really, unless he worked on his stamina a lot (muscles aren't stamina). He often loses 5 set matches to journeymen or loses the next round. Fast/slick surface really helped him deal with Nadal.

As I understand it this is why footballers are typically not that jacked.
