i hate some of these joke wildcards.
Ooooh That's a tough one Erm Med wins easy 6-0 6-0 ?
LOL ! Yes ! - the "age of Grigorgeous" ROTFLMAO - I forgot that piece of Dim BS hype.
Federer had some very bad challenges. I used to find it strange how a player who seems to have such good eyesight could be mistaken so often on challenges.
Hewitt played closer to the baseline, was faster, better going forward and good at the net. He also dealt better with variety and players that moved forward. But Medvedev's serve compensates for much of those.
He's "The Young Artiste"!
Above post from TTW Thread in 2014. Even then it was clear Dim was a comparative non starter ...
Well Dim you exceeded my expectations!
Every hosting nation’s tennis governing body awards WCs. Do you get upset with TA in January when an unknown Aussie gets in at AO? How about FFT when a young Frenchman gets in at RG? How about LTA for Brits at Wimby? At least USTA sets two of their rewards: win the Zoo 18s or be an American winner of the NCAA. Both are traditions going back decades and both imply the player was busy doing more than building a ranking. One was probably in HS instead of on the tour; the other was in college.
Neutral 2021 h2h record vs both. Tokyo payback might be a bit easier on his champion’s “turf.”
Pretty sure the record is also held by Paire. Before Zverev came along, he was the DF meme.
A Tree(sner) has been paired from the forest. Benny Botz is a M1K QFist for the first time since Rome’13.
Men have somehow never matched Kournikova’s 31 DFs in a match win at AO. At least Paire is putting some mustard on both deliveries whereas Anna could have just placed her serve and still won. Odd too that she was a very good dubs player and should know the value of “getting the first one in.”
Marriage suits Gael!
Hewitt was way faster and way better mover than Medvedev. Also better defensively.
He went to Mad Lad, who fell and helped him to his feet.
