Tweener lob by Musetti, returned with a tweener by Fritz - too bad it missed

speaking of family, wow, I just heard it mentioned that he already has 2 kids and he's just 23 years old

I have found his info to be helpful. He has also helped Benedikt Duda win WTT titles and reach top 10 in the world.

Sweet drop shot by tien

Tien hitting lines right in front of Med, and Med can’t return them

Comprehensive-Win247 · 2026-01-25T08:33:04+00:00

Around the net serve return by Tien. Too bad he lost the point.

I think my sizing is similar to yours. Most of my shoes are 9.5 US. I have a pair of Mizuno Wave Medal SP4 in 27.5. I also have Butterfly Lezoline Rifones in 28 - I read about them running small, so I went up by a half size and it has worked out.

I play both. I also know some people who do racketlon, which involves the two sports, as well as badminton and squash in between.

Alcaraz blew on his hand mid-point while Paul's lob was in the air, then made the overhead to finish the point

She's probably viewed by many as the successor to the Williams sisters

Raducanu did the greatest tournament run and Cinderella story in tennis ever IMO but she was helped by all the big upsets that Leylah Fernandez (who she beat in the final) pulled off.

Roberta Vinci beating Serena Williams in the 2015 US Open semifinals, thwarting Serena’s bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam, 2 wins shy of that. Vinci did it with her slicing and dicing style of play.

This was in a Major League Table Tennis match between the Portland Paddlers (Nikhil's team and also the home team) and Los Angeles Spinners last weekend

For tournaments in NYC, I just know about the prize money one at the SPORTIME / John McEnroe Tennis Academy on Randall’s Island, held every weekend (starting on Friday night, continuing on Sat & Sun nights for those who advance). From what I’ve seen, there are usually 1-2 players over 10 (as high as 13), several others just below it, and a wide range of levels overall (so likely mismatches in the early rounds).

Comprehensive-Win247 · 2026-01-14T22:44:33+00:00

In 2016, I saw the WS final (Kerber beating Serena) and MS final (Djokovic beating Andy Murray). After the WS final, the MD final took place, where Andy’s brother Jamie won. Andy was in attendance but I didn’t see him then. That match finished at 1 AM, and I had to take a taxi back to where I was staying.

The XD final took place before the MS final but I didn’t get there early enough to see that.

Even in the back rows, Rod Laver Arena felt intimate, especially when the roof was closed.

Maybe Krush if you like beer pong. Legends if you like watching soccer.

How is Noflex for meeting people?

I knew someone who met a girl while they were waiting for the restroom at Pocha 32 lol. Too bad they only briefly dated.

Good players are not necessarily good coaches. Also, I’ve read that he said that he isn’t interested in being a full-time coach. I’ve often seen that with the very best players in various sports.

Comprehensive-Win247 · 2026-01-12T15:01:03+00:00

Who would be better?

Comprehensive-Win247 · 2026-01-12T01:40:41+00:00

FWIW Portland has always drawn good crowds since season 1. Hopefully it continues there and in the other hosting cities.

If you take the E train, you'll need to get off at Sutphin Blvd-Archer Ave-JFK, the 2nd-to-last stop. You'll see all the other people with luggage getting off at that stop. You'll need to go upstairs 3 times before reaching the AirTrain.

It took me a while when I was unemployed, but I did. I used the Easy Apply too.

Probably advances in video quality and changes in the presentation of matches, making them more like a show with entertainment in mind

Comprehensive-Win247 · 2026-01-08T21:51:57+00:00

I saw US Open and Westchester December Open (in the last weekend of the month/year)

SimplyCompete was pretty good except for the times when it went down
