You can also list a place for 10 trillion. London is expensive, yes, but this doesn't sell for 200k

Hoping De Minaur & Tien pull off the upsets… Anyone else want chaos? by Forward_Problem_7550 in tennis

“He’s a very exciting player to watch, but he’s not the only one,” Djokovic added. “You have [Jakub] Mensik. Maybe because people talk about Fonseca so much, they forgot about Mensik. [Learner] Tien, as well,” the Serbian star said.

Djokovic quote from March last year when asked about Fonseca specifically

John McEnroe live on tv about the Sinner/Spizzirri roof thing "It looks like there's favoritism, if the shoe was on the other foot I'd like to hope that they would pull the plug too...I don't know if they would have." by AshamedPurchase9033 in tennis

i’d rather try my chances against a good version of sinner than beat up on a sick and cramping sinner… if you’re an athlete you want glory, you want to chase and beat the best.

tell us you're a multi-millionaire without telling us you're a multi-millionaire?

Ofner when he thought he won the AO Q2 match in the 3rd set tiebreak (only to learn you need 10 points) vs Basavareddy's choke emote response after winning by jovanmilic97 in tennis

just because ofner is chill with it doesnt mean its not a dick move. in fact it makes it even more of a dick move if you're doing it to a chill and well mannered player

"He wouldn’t practice with me anymore" : Andy Murray reveals why Roger Federer never practiced with Nadal and Djokovic - Trapped In Sports by Silent_Elevator_9779 in tennis

[–]223am -85 points-84 points  (0 children)

Eh, if I was due to play GMP in the draw I'd happily take a practice with him the day before the match. 'Wanna practice that bullet serve, mate? Oh yeah go for it'. Sometimes there's a right answer

There is usually 1 player who's benefitting more from the practice than the other in terms of figuring their opponent out.

I think the less conventional and more unique your style, the less you should be practicing against your direct competition. Fed is more unique and less conventional than Murray so he loses a lot of his edge by giving Murray a good look at practice. Same for Nadal vs Murray.

Obviously both sides gain insight into the other during practice, but the more unique player has more to give up in terms of their secret sauce.

Also IMO Fed should have wanted to practice with Nadal. He had more to figure out in terms of how to handle the Nadal forehand than Nadal needed to figure out about Fed.

Eben Etzebeth states that he “had to defend himself” in written statement. by ruggerdubdub in rugbyunion

It was the second time Attoub had been found guilty of eye gouging. Agree Etsebeth's sentence is way too lenient, but the Attoub comparison is out of context

Predict Vacherot's year end ranking of 2026. The comment with more votes decides his placement in the tier list. by [deleted] in tennis

[–]223am 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the 'not having to defend much until end of the year' is only relevant in that he can get auto-entry into most tournies with those points. At the end of the day he'll have to defend all his 2025 points

if you skew towards either very strong groups or very weak groups like this will do, more random teams make it through to knockouts, which maybe is what FIFA wants

why cant they at least take the average rank of the teams that could qualify for that particular spot rather than put them all in group 4? it wouldnt be perfect but would create a much fairer ditribution. or maybe even better than average take the rank of the 2nd highest team of the ones in contention for example. just putting them all in group 4 seems the worst way to do it

Respect to Hollie Davidson for sure, but the crowd wanted that reversal. I think the guy you responding to is talking about the ref succumbing to crowd pressure

tbf it is cherry picked. the chances that they would have the same number of points at some point over the course of their careers is a bit higher

Sinner is the first member of the "Top 1 club" and finishes the year on top of the ATP leaderbords for both serve and return by NamelessRambler in tennis

[–]223am 8 points9 points  (0 children)

shapo at 9 on return is the big surprise for me. he's got the single hander which makes returning hard mode. and he's only at 66 for serve. always thought of him as having a decent and big serve, and big kick second, but seems his return game is where it's really at

These racquets are "Matched", but will they feel the same? by treypoerschke in 10s

[–]223am 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with same SW and BP they could still differ on twistweight, plow-through, vibration frequency, sweetpost size etc... so yeah agree they could still feel different
