When actual match results don’t go the way you wanted or expected it’s important to adapt. Here are some techniques (aka coping mechanisms):
what else am I missing?
- Claim money won is the key indicator in measuring tennis achievements
- Redefine CYGS so that players that lost the first slam of the season can be considered as equally likely to win as someone who won the first 3 slams of the season

- weak era discussions. This is one of the most classic approaches
- if your favorite player can’t win actual matches surely he can do better in hypothetical ones
- Injury and illness excuses are always welcome
- forget what you posted in the past. Did you use to claim that weeks at #1 and most slams won were the key metrics? Or the H2h? Time for something new!
