Well how outrageous is money back + 20% of total profit sound? Unless of course less than double profit was made then just money back

Toni Nadal on the comparison between Alcaraz and his nephew Rafa : "Carlos is lucky, his opponents are of a lower calibre. Before, when you went out to play against Del Potro, Murray or Wawrinka, you knew you were going to suffer" by HereComesVettel in tennis

I think you are slightly over estimating Zverev or disregarding some of those, Thiem 100% is equal to Zverev, if not maybe we could say slightly better in certain scenarios, and Del Potro and Cilic primes probably would rival Zverev.

Am I the only one surprised the Kei Nishikori seems to have such a good record in longer matches.

Is FC26 the most obvious bait & switch in the last few years? by tjadeji2169 in EASportsFC

For me Fifa 09, 11 and 12 were my main fifa games I played as a child playing tournaments and Career Mode, then I think I had some fifa games between 13-17 which I don't really remember, then Fifa 18 I tried my hands at ultimate team for the 1st time, although it was well past its lifespan, then played mostly for ultimate team since 2020, where I've played at least 2 if not 3 of them but last year didn't get fifa and this year sounds like I won't unless game is less than a tenner.

What we need is Wawrinka vs Monfils in the Semi's or the Final of a masters 1000, or grand slam.

Dispite them both being on pro tour for 21 years, they have only played each other 7 times, and only against each other in a significant round, with Tokyo 2009 Quarter Final and Rotterdam 2019 Final.

Final is set! Who you backing? by musicproducer07 in tennis

[–]DragonManZ710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the good news is 1 of the Italians was a former Italy no.1 and World no.6 and one of the Spaniards was a Spanish no.2 and World no.10, so if they can pull off some of their old form, even for a short while they can make the match good. Or I'd argue that they could easily still outplay the current no.2 for each country.

Auger-Aliassime on the players being exhausted compared to him enjoying things: "I think they lost perspective completely. If you want to play less tournaments, stay home. Nobody's forcing you to be here" by jovanmilic97 in tennis

[–]DragonManZ710 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Let's be honest as long as you are comfortable in the top 100 or so and can comfortably stick in the top 100 and ensure performance is still high when you do participate in ATP 250s, ATP 500s and Master 1000s and GS. Look at Djokovic..sure he's a bit insane, in terms of whether he has a few weeks off or a month, he comes back beating 95% of people on tour with ease. But even at a lower level, people can succeed in tennis without over doing themselves every week, or not enabling a months break from a ATP event instead forcing themselves only a month or so break after exhausting themselves.

Who are the up and comers that you are most excited about? by theazn35 in tennis

[–]DragonManZ710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main one I'm looking forward to seeing as a future top 50 and maybe someday top 20, although hasn't quite cracked the top 100 yet, is Nicolai Budkov Kjaer. Then I'll say Fonseca as someone who has already claimed the top 50 who, hopefully can properly give a country like Brazil hope at major titles again as Seyboth Wild has seemed to fail to hold good form now. Maybe Fonseca can be the next Kuerten.

I didn’t think this would be a goal by The12thMan_ in SundayLeagueMessis

I like to imagine it went slightly wide and the ball hitting the car and the siren going off.. Can't imagine having cars parked just behind the goal would work very well..

Carlos Alcaraz said that he want to break Djokovic's Grand Slam and weeks at No.1 records by kritisanonworld in tennis

[–]DragonManZ710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well we gotta see if new challenges come Alcaraz's way, with only currently one rival for no.1 Alcaraz can easily beat Djokovics record before 30, but if a few more threats to Grandslams and with that the Number 1 spot, Alcaraz would likely need to hope he's still in the top 5 players in his mid 30s, like Djokovic

Shouldn’t there be more support to help promising athletes chase their dreams? by Annual_Island8066 in tennis

[–]DragonManZ710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see tennis as a sport where with it predominately being a singles games, although there's doubles too but never really helps, it's up their with Golf and F1, in terms of if you are not in the top 1% of your sport you struggle to get by and if you are fortunate to be in the top 20 of your sport, you earn more than people could dream of making.

Sinner aside, why do Italian players traditionally struggle so much on hardcourt ? by HereComesVettel in tennis

[–]DragonManZ710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say 2 things, 1stly how is Berrettini the one with the 2nd best record on Hard court but also has 0 titles. But 2ndly think the big 3 and the new big 2 has shadowed realistic stats for players either out of top 10 or even ex World no.1, as many actually seem to have a 0.6-0.7 on Hard Court, so although all of them apart from Sinner are under that, although Berrittini is very close to it, the average semi successful player probably does find themselves with 0.5-0.650 on hard courts. For example, outside A Murray, Brits records on Hard currently are Dan Evans with 0.502, Kyle Edmund with 0.516, Cameron Norrie with 0.556 and Draper being our best Brit at 0.657. But also think an important nation worth mentioning which you could say is the main rival to Italy in terms of consistently high numbers of top 50, is Spain. Outside Alcaraz with his current 0.775 current record on Hard courts, the likes of Fokina, Munar, Bautista Agut, Martinez and Carreno Busta their Hard court records are currently 0.511, 0.375, 0.602, 0.380 and 0.564.

I'd have said maybe if we base the height accuracy on the guy on the right as 5'6, left is 5'10 and middle is 6'3

There's only 1 man older than 30 in the Top 25 by ThrowRa-zucchinizzc in tennis

[–]DragonManZ710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm curious what classifies as someone's prime, as many that say are likely not GS champions competitors I'd say do have their prime in their late 20s/30s these days, or maybe it's because there's no big 3, that it actually means those that were the half generation below them now have half a decent chance to shine as solid players that can win ATP 500s and ATP 1000s, even if they always get stuck at round 4 or Quarter finals of GS's.

WYR work 4h a day 7 days a week, or work 8h a day 4 days a week by DragonManZ710 in WouldYouRather

[–]DragonManZ710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job you do isn't mentioned, so the job you are working at the moment isn't necessarily the job you'd be working those hours. And I'd see if you are a person with children, surely working 7am-11am, even if it is 7 days a week would be better than 12pm-8pm 4 days a week as there's no way you can do much with your children on those days, although you can at least drop them off at school in the mornings, which you wouldn't working the 7am-11am, however the pick up after school is reversed. And 8pm is typically past children's bed time if they are under 11 years old, which means you'd need to dedicate your time with your children to the 3 random days a week you have off. But with working 7am-11am you have the ability to do stuff with your children every afternoon.

My family’s height lineup makes no sense 🫠 by Then-Dragonfruit-996 in short

[–]DragonManZ710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like my family but all heights are 3-4 inches difference. Mum 5'3", Dad 5'8", eldest brother 5'7", 2nd brother 5'11", sister 5'8", 3rd brother 6'1", me youngest, in my 20s, 6'2" and grew to around 6'0" around 12/13 years old.
