A TTW expert on whether they know more about tennis than Andy Roddick and James Blake:
"Yes I am ahead of Roddick and Blake as long as I have Stats on my side, Stats are beyond the players as well, as once said by Boris Becker that during coaching in previous eras one could not argue with a superior player but now we have these analytics and so we can show stats."

Our resident expert has seen fit to derail a thread about Gauff throwing her racquet and almost striking a fan after losing the doubles final. In place of commenting on that incident they decided to rant about a supposed plot by USTA/USO to whitewash poor behavior by the world’s #2 in her 3R match loss vs Leila (sic) Fernandez. They even ask who and why the media is hiding this incident via heavily edited match highlights released a week after the match.
It’s perplexing to me: if world #2 Aryna Sabalenka did lose to Leylah in 3R, how did she also lose to her in the SFs? Why is our expert again fudging the facts?

Then there is another level of peculiarity reserved for the man who uses the royal "we" and has been behaving in a very naughty manner.

Something that is more of a niche topic but currently our resident expert on everything is arguing about serve mechanics and is adamant that end range shoulder external rotation with the racquet drop is 90 degrees
Our favorite expert fails to realize that this normative value applies to the population, not to overhead throwing athletes, and that throwers frequently have ER range well beyond 90 degrees from adaptive changes that occur due to repetitive throwing

Did you miss his post where he referenced a graph from a publication on shoulder internal rotation and couldn’t understand how the researchers could be plotting IR when the shoulder was clearly externally rotated?
It’s because the graph was depicting joint speed, not position. But I trust Raul and his alternative facts, so I’ll assume that’s a typo

"Perhaps you need the benefit of age to know how sad it was to see the Grand Slam slip away last night.
When Laver won the Grand Slam in 69, when I was a young man, I took it for granted that I would see other attempts: some would succeed, some would fail. Yet here we are 52 years later -and I am no longer a young man -and only one male player has got within touching distance of the summit.
When you are young, you think opportunities will always come along, there will always be another chance.
As the song says:
"Life had no reason and life had no rhyme,
I knew there were mountains to climb,
but at the time I thought I had time".
But time is the one thing we have less of every second.
I'm devastated that I didn't get to see a second Grand Slam. I very much doubt I'll live to see another one. I'll never understand the bitterness of people who can be glad that Djokovic failed. And I say that as a Nadal fan. It would have been a memory as a tennis fan you would have held forever. You would have been able to tell your grandkids you saw the Grand Slam be achieved.
I'll just have to add experiencing the Grand Slam in 1969 to my ever-growing list of beautiful things I once experienced but will never experience again: seeing David Bowie in concert, shaking hands with my sporting hero, Muhammad Ali, standing on the top of the twin towers.
All of these moments have been lost in time. Like tears in rain..."

Keep the faith. If all the armchair analysts here are correct and this is a DudGen to rival Lost Gen then maybe all it takes is one of the really young ones to step up and start taking names. It’s ironic that the one surface that really represents the biggest hurdle will be the one that all the men’s CYGS was competed on 75% of the time. Maybe Rune can pull a Borg and morph into a grass champion. Maybe Alcaraz stays healthy and grabs a slam in his teens and the ranking to make the path at all the slams smoother. Maybe the guys who have made QF or better on all three surfaces get a decent draw at their weakest slam and go two rounds further.
It’s not impossible.

Today I read from two great minds here that a) Lloyd Harris is a “Walmart Tsitsipas and b) his moniker is now Lloyd Christmas.
Well, 2021 has included an ATP500 final (from qualifying), a slam QF and he has at least a dozen wins over players ranked above him so he can probably buy the services of Greek vlogger Citypass to be his personal shopper on the Neiman Marcus aisle at Wallyworld.
As to Lloyd Christmas, the Cape Town Lloyd was named after the great British (Welsh by birth) statesman Lloyd George and he’s neither dumb or dumber plus he really does have a chance except for in the twisted minds of those who hate on him because he’s the last one to beat their idol.

Hello, who won USO in September, Toronto in August, was a finalist at AO in February and has numerous victories over top 10 players at slams? How would he be rated behind the choking choker with the Mr. T starter kit? In fact, he’s had a better record on HC in 2021 than Earth’s Neediest Lunatic, no?

It will be an exciting race for Ruud through about Karatsev for the last two spots. Norrie wisely dropped out of Antwerp so Sinner can leap up to be in a virtual tie if he wins the Diamond City Cup. FAA is not far back of them but also looks to be skipping Antwerp. Karatsev Is headed to Moscow as the #2 seed (1R bye) in a much weaker draw than Antwerp.
This may all come down to who does what in the last week at Stockholm.
