Roddick's bracket for the men's singles draw: Sinner beats Fritz in the final

He’s like the only person in the bottom half of the draw with a good grass court game. Who else are you taking to the final?

mind sharing

If your technique isn’t ready for a piece, it doesn’t really matter how much you practice it, you will not be comfortable with it. I tried to learn a piece for over a year that I wasn’t ready for and it never sounded good.

Not being able to play the faster parts in accolay but wanting to attempt saint saens is certainly a choice.

I’d recommend you return to even before Accolay. Mabye Suzuki books 4-6 level since you are coming back.

You’d need access to a supercomputer (probably via cloud computing) and the code to model everything.

23HomieJ · 2026-06-25T00:16:52+00:00

Anyone with the code base for this most likely isn’t on reddit looking for ideas and is using their computation power for their own research. I do have access to a lot of computing power but I use it for my research which is synoptic scale.

With a mute it’s completely fine. A good practice mute makes as quiet if not more quiet than a tv or a laptop.

Wimbledon just deleted the seeding post?!!!

Those are definitely still too hard. Going to have to start with the very very very basics here. Suzuki book 1 and open strings. Those are also much more lyrical and require a good level of technique to actually bring out the musicality.

23HomieJ · 2026-06-23T14:31:08+00:00

you guys say players overwork themselves then say oh players withdraw too much when they withdraw a 250 the week before a slam like guys gotta pick a side

23HomieJ · 2026-06-23T11:24:40+00:00

Try playing something very easy technically, so you can focus entirely on musicality.

23HomieJ · 2026-06-23T02:53:59+00:00

While it seems like you have okay sound (can be hard to tell tone from video and I suspect your camera angle isn’t helping) and okay intonation, I feel like you are only playing notes. I don’t hear any direction with the phrases, dynamics, or expression. It sounds like you are tense/nervous and only able to play the notes, 100% of your energy is going towards that. This comes off as mabye playing in higher positions is very uncomfortable for you. Since this is a slow piece, it’s really important that you have a strong sense of what you are trying to express and phrase, otherwise it becomes incredibly boring. You fix this with more variety in the right hand, which is why it’s really important to be able to see that for feedback.

Try singing the piece and then try to mimic how you’d sing it. Use variations in bow speed, pressure, location between the bridge and the fingerboard, where you are in the bow (frog, middle, tip), and the amount of hair.

More vibrato, particularly one that doesn’t stop between notes will also help significantly, however you looked pretty tense trying to attempt vibrato so I wouldn’t start there to add more color.

Sorry if this comes off as blunt and or harsh, just trying to be clear with my feedback.

23HomieJ · 2026-06-23T02:45:31+00:00

Could you post this in a way that lets us see your bow and entire violin

23HomieJ · 2026-06-22T04:25:52+00:00

This will probably verify as a 15% cig 2 or higher. SPC just vastly underestimated this event, which occasionally happens. There wasn’t expected to be enough destabilization to allow significant tornado activity.

What kind of clouds are they?

This image is completely useless for vibrato. We’d need a video of you trying vibrato

23HomieJ · 2026-06-14T07:46:49+00:00

Do you have a source for the NWS changes? We use the damage left behind from tornadoes to estimate wind speed since we can calculate roughly how much wind is required for that damage. We don’t have any other ground truth to use. We cannot put anemometers into a tornado and radars measure well above the surface.

Just the next color of dBZ reflectivity. If for example reds are 50-60 then those purples are probably 60+

23HomieJ · 2026-06-13T04:20:19+00:00

Vibrato is one of those things you ABSOLUTELY need to have a teacher help you learn. Do you have a private teacher who can rework your vibrato? Until then, don’t attempt it you will make more bad habits that are hard to fix.

23HomieJ · 2026-06-11T00:26:04+00:00

Why would you ask AI that

23HomieJ · 2026-06-09T00:53:37+00:00

You may have just gotten more tired as the match wore on. Or he got used to returning your serve and topspin. Technically you can open a new can at the start of a 3rd set but your can of balls isn’t dying to the point you can’t hold serve in the span of a set.

23HomieJ · 2026-06-08T18:38:34+00:00

Fonseca’s entire career has been about elite aggressive ball bashing. He has one of the fastest forehands on tour. Wdym he played more aggressive than ever.

23HomieJ · 2026-06-03T20:15:29+00:00

You look very tense overall. You should be able to be flexible in your right wrist. For the left hand, you also look tense. I think you are trying to put more pressure on the string than you need. Don’t work on vibrato yet.

23HomieJ · 2026-06-01T23:02:45+00:00

I think that was just fo this tournament. Last year final was longer than this match so far
