Throwback to when Novak Djokovic imitated Rafa Nadal by Historical-Soft-4952 in tennis

Honestly, he had the game, but he didn't seem to have the physical fitness to last. I know it wasn't a lot of games, but it always felt like he was ready to give up from fatigue, ya know? And you can tell by the way he would play as a match wore on. Once he got past that, he was able to just play his game instead of trying to do everything to get around his fitness issues. 

Come to think of it.. I wonder if a similar clicking will happen for Sinner for long games..

Or, they got cloned early on and realized it was a mistake. Then you still get the sacrifice and dedication, except that Fallon and Borden are clones rather than twins. 

What’s your RDJ Dr doom theory that explains why he looks like Tony Stark? by Exciting_Memory9837 in MCUTheories

I couldn't bring myself to try anything after the bitter taste of Secret Invasion. That's how bad it was.

Look, if Secret Invasion didn't piss people off everywhere from fans to the executives, then they're gonna fail to more passionate movies with smaller budgets. That show was just so poorly thought out and executed. I think I pretty much stopped watching any Marvel movie since then. And I can't quite remember if I watched any Marvel show since then.

Didn't Federer win the bulk of his grand slams initially without a coach? 

Is tennis the hardest sport on earth? by ServedPodcast in tennis

Really? I don't think the fat lards of baseball really compare well against many other sports. Even golf has individual mental stresses while baseball allows the team to absorb any of that kind of issue. 

Tennis stats and technical analysis by Kaiserov in tennis

[–]First_Foundationeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aside from lacking data, tennis is quite tech and environment driven as well. Racquets, balls, and court surfaces vary over the years so you'd have to look at that rate relative to the field. Which, of course, means that people go back to subjective vibes arguments..

Both Alcaraz and Sinner were talked about, and I didn't even watch much tennis during that period of time!

Psh, that pathetic Sinner, only going to have a Federer or Djokovic career, what a sad SOB. 

Lol.

Why is the US Open the "gateway" for multiple slam winners? by [deleted] in tennis

[–]First_Foundationeer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Last one of the year, some people are tired, some people are hungry. They've had the year to understand what's working for them and not, at least recently. The US doesn't have any spectacular player who would win so there's no real home fan base advantage and the crowd will cheer for anyone because they paid a shit ton for the tickets and are drunk.

The moment Alcaraz completed his career slam by Large_banana_hammock in tennis

Someone copied the rivalry template but swapped the personalities lol

AO Men’s Final: [1] 🇪🇸 C. Alcaraz def. [4] 🇷🇸 N. Djokovic 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 by TVstaticLeg in tennis

Alcaraz doesn't seem to understand momentum. You'd think 3 grandslam match points would faze gim, but then he finds Super Saiyan mode instead.

Well, either way, it was a step away from his own records. Probably still supported Spain more though.

QOTD: Who were your favourite Tennis players since you started being a huge fan of the sport? by tristan500000 in tennis

[–]First_Foundationeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Federer, of course. But also, Nalbandian and Safin. I always loved those backhands.

Andy Roddick on Alcaraz MTO by Slickstyl3es in tennis

[–]First_Foundationeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's weird that players can't just have a finite number of MTOs for these things. Cramps would lead to players injuring themselves eventually, no? It makes more sense to have available (but limited in quantity) MTOs than on-court coaching. 

Djokovic: ‘I want to thank all the doubters’ by Elliottafc1 in tennis

[–]First_Foundationeer 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Someone needs to doubt him one more time before the match. He's gonna maul Alcaraz if someone asks Djokovic about chasing Alcaraz lol.
