Rafa gets angry when he gets time violations and plays better. Rafa fans should be applauding the use of the shot clock. More angry Rafa as he is bound to break 25 seconds between serves.

Bogus stats.
I am appalled by your blissful ignorance. Nate Silver is considered the foremost statistician in the statistics and political communities and covers a variety of topics with his famous mathematical models, including sports, politics, and music.Bogus stats.
Although our current era may suggest that saying "fake news" is acceptable in deflecting inconvenient facts, I implore you to understand that not everything that disagrees with you is false.
This is very true. When even the statistics and work of Nate Silver and 538 can be dismissed, something has gone terribly wrong.It's a horrible trend in the world. I hope to god it dies out soon

Just enjoy the tennis. Stop fretting about a few seconds here and there, life is too short.Lahyani showed the way last night; told the score 2-3 seconds after the point is over and starts the clock in the same moment. The match was played at a very comfy pace, no problemo. But the umpires who wait for the last clap to silence before announcing the score, really slows things down in a manner which hurts tennis for the viewers and makes it unnaturally slow for no reason.
