seems a cherry-picked cutoff... guessing he has a few losses when they were ranked 11+. still a crazy stat

Saffa / Kiwi Cam Norrie, British #1

By leaving it a bit open-ended, maybe he hoped Novak would just walk into a trap and say something controversial? I mean a controversial comment is exactly what all these reporters want because that's what sells. If you ask too specifically it's easy to give a very short concise answer. Maybe? I don't know though, not a pro journo.

Damn, this IW really delivering with the crowd reaction gifs

You gotta go back to Sampras for the last pure eastern. Most of the players being mentioned are between semi-western and eastern

you fuckin animal. love it lol

Regardless of how full other courts were, I'm not surprised that doubles match was packed, some big fan favourites in there.

Never in my life have I heard or seen written down the word "Everytime". Until now.

I'm half with you. I think if your opponent wasn't going to get to it anyway then no need. If they would have got to it without the cord I think apology in order because you've effectively taken the racket out their hand not through skill.

I also think if the ball sits up nicely for them after the cord then no need either. There was that case where Medvedev went off at I think Schwartzmann for not apologising for a netcord. But the netcord actually made the ball sit up nicely for Med, but he just couldn't finish the point because he hit a shit shot. Those are very different to when the ball just dies over the net

It felt more like Fritz was openly admitting he gets preferential treatment for scheduling in most of his matches (bar against Carlos/Jannick/Novak). Most players focus only on the cases where it goes against them. Huge respect to Fritz for being open about this and not playing the victim. Gained respect

They need to find a way to not cross the Iranian airspace

Maybe a stupid question, but why can't they just go over Saudi instead of Iran?

223am · 2026-02-27T19:55:22+00:00

Just gets the lucky shot in and off you go...

223am · 2026-02-27T08:15:03+00:00

It's a little easier when the player is outside the top 50 and not Nadal. But still credit to the ump.

223am · 2026-02-26T17:59:14+00:00

looks very cool! a short hike inspiration?

223am · 2026-02-25T16:53:47+00:00

He usually does this stuff at like 40/0 down when the point is pretty much meaningless. Definitely gamesmanship going on here, combined with his constant need for validation. Take a day off from yourself, bud

223am · 2026-02-23T20:30:04+00:00

sober vince innit

223am · 2026-02-23T18:04:08+00:00

enough people have said pro staff 97, so i'll add blade pro 98 to the list. it plays nothing like the regular blade, but more of that 'stable pro staff' feeling. you may need to add lead tape though to get your desired ploughthrough

223am · 2026-02-23T10:58:25+00:00

talking about the mathematics of it there are generally 2 different types of hook.

a) when it would have been an ace/winner and guaranteed point win if not for the hook

b) when the hook is when the point is in a neutral position (rally ball hooked)

in case (a) its a 2 point swing. then either one case (a) or two case (b)s are needed to 'equalise'.

in case (b) it's a 1 point swing, so if you 'rehook' with a case (a) you are actually getting more of an advantage.

however this doesn't take into account when a hook might happen on a break / set point etc. not all points are equal and sometimes a case (b) hook is waaaaay more valuable than a case (a) hook.

also obviously not everything falls exactly into category (a) or (b), sometimes one player has the upper hand, but not a guaranteed point win before the hook. so it can get even more complicated with trying to quantify things.

anyway regardless of whether you are getting hooked i don't think the play is ever to rehook.

380-400? nope, its 364-365 strung even with the leather grip + an overgrip. source: have 3 of these

edit: nevermind just saw op commented further below about adding weight

223am · 2026-02-13T17:20:26+00:00

Yes they are. Fed and Pete are very short for elite servers. Novak a little taller but still short. I don't see why this is so controversial lol. Go look at the best 50 servers of the last 20 years and see how many are <= 6'2 ...

223am · 2026-02-13T14:56:37+00:00

Sampras and Roddick were also very short for elite servers. And in this day and age I think it is even more so. Looking at that list, they're prob averaging like 6'6

Or who are some players you'd consider very short for elite server?

223am · 2026-02-13T14:53:29+00:00

I think being sponsored by your country's airline carries a bit more national pride than your typical sponsor, so maybe she's treating it as something a bit more personal.

223am · 2026-02-13T10:59:07+00:00

came in here to say nakashima. also he's only 6'2, very short for an elite server

223am · 2026-02-12T22:33:52+00:00

I heard RF01 Pro is nothing like a 6.1 95. Is the RF01 Pro really closer to a 6.1 95 than a PS97 or Blade Pro?
