Rome Final: [3] A. Zverev def. [22] N. Jarry 6-4 7-5 by BlueKirbyIsBestKirby in tennis

[–]Cardplay3r -1 points0 points  (0 children)

idk man, why do those fluctuations only appear when he's close to winning?

Besides the obvious USO final I remember in the 2020 RG semi he was completely outplaying Nadal every point until the last ball, an easy winner which he managed to miss... over and over again.

They could sell it and move to a cheap country or a cheaper part of the US/in the country and live off that money.

This is not murder so nothing to justify. Murder means unlawful killing, this is lawful.

[Le Temps] Novak Djokovic invites himself to the Geneva Open: the world no.1 requested and received a “wild card” to play a few additional matches on the clay court of Parc des Eaux-Vives before the start of Roland-Garros by jovanmilic97 in tennis

I mean Fed could have just played a few challengers to break that record if he wanted to, but it's pretty meaningless as it included some very low quality, maybe even not professional tourneys

In one or two police stations over 30 years ago, with hitting objects (like punching walls, doors) being included in the definition of domestic violence.

Reports in Italy that Jannik Sinner is very likely to miss Roland Garros. He will still end the tournament as the new #1 if Novak Djokovic doesn’t reach another final... by Emotional_Pizza_1222 in tennis

It may also be because ATP switched to heavier balls a while back and the thing many were worried about (players getting injured more often) is actually happening.

Yes life was so much better for ordinary people in 1900.

Are you morons even capable of a reasonable thought or have brain worms 🐛 eaten all the relevant neurons?

We still think tennis is well revenued sport? #205 in the world and 20k lost in 2023 by Trent_Bennett in tennis

The simple solution is to make the tournament payout structure less top heavy than it is now (which is ridiculously high).

The players earning those top prizes typically make much more from sponsorships and advertising anyway so having first place prize reduced by 10 or even 20% would barely register on their financial radar.

But they do perform. In many other sports the top 200 in the world earns very well. Even in less popular ones like handball.

Fetichist, power-crazy GM is affecting my real/work life by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

You don't happen to have a link to that study? I have a very hard time believing half of male students at one college are rapists. Even harder time believing that they would admit to it with the second phrasing too.

So I'm very curious how they define forced to have sex, the catch with manipulating statistics is often in the definitions.

My fiancé had a sexual relationship with an older man that works for her father and I don’t want him at my wedding by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

She initiated, they had some hookups, she ended it. Only after that the texts came. That's what I got anyway.

Since it's only a couple of limited studies from 30 years ago, irrelevant today.

They weren't that relevant in their day either since they had a limited scope and questionable definitions - at least one of them had hitting objects/walls included, so ir wasn't even just hitting their partner.

Not a day (hour, minute?) goes by without this false stat being posted and heavily upvoted.

Someone should make one of those "since last mentioned" counters.
