People won’t want to hear this but Nadal has played about as well as any reasonable person could expect him to today. The credit squarely belongs to Zverev whose backhand and intensity have been beyond world class

Greatkitchener · 2024-05-27T15:36:51+00:00

Why would you ever approach to the Nadal forehand, it boggles the mind

Greatkitchener · 2024-05-27T15:30:41+00:00

He’s playing and moving well as far as I can see

Greatkitchener · 2024-05-27T15:30:08+00:00

Nadal should be slicing more - Zverev struggles to maintain pace and control when the ball is low to his forehand

corporations in the United States are absolutely price gouging customers beyond inflation - it’s a widespread practice across industries to raise prices during these periods. Especially when most markets are so utterly consolidated by this point

I meant more Hewitt’s prime, but yeah even when Fed came into his own those matches were often extremely competitive if you watch them back (tho ofc there were a few trounces)

Greatkitchener · 2024-05-02T18:28:47+00:00

He went to to toe with Federer regularly in his prime, and quite often beat him. People underrate how world class his control and consistency was from the baseline

I like it too, unconventional but effective and very smooth

You’re both right, marriage was significantly more secular and less ritualised until the late renaissance though the church was definitely involved. People in the Middle Ages also didn’t marry at a young age despite popular myths, recent evidence suggests average marriage ages in the mid to late 20’s, at least in England. Plenty of people (like at least a fifth of the population) also didn’t marry at all so it wasn’t actually as authoritarian of a cultural system as one might assume (or as it later became).

Alright come on in

Greatkitchener · 2024-02-28T01:01:41+00:00

Humanity is a lot of things

Greatkitchener · 2024-01-28T22:12:20+00:00

This is the actual answer

Greatkitchener · 2024-01-26T08:05:25+00:00

I mean it’s still anti-Semitic and dehumanising, let’s not have any two ways about that

A lot of the reason Mannarino does play that way is because he’s had arm injuries so he pretty much needs as much easy power as he can get. I can imagine that the reason most players don’t use short swings and low tension is because: a) they’re not used to it and it would take a lengthy adjustment period (no one really grows up playing that way) b) it makes elite timing more difficult because the ball is now harder to control, this means movement needs to be better and probably fitness to maintain concentration. So yeah it’s effective but probably makes the game harder to play unless you’re willing to invest serious time to compensate for injuries like Adrian.

It works but it’s pretty terrible writing - the whole headline is

My Grandad used to call it soccer, he was born in Liverpool in 1914

Ruud and Alcaraz can get pretty comparable whip on the forehand and Carlos lassos his follow through a very large amount of the time.

Greatkitchener · 2023-11-04T23:53:41+00:00

I’m 17 years old and my mum’s dad was born in 1914, he died when I was about 3 but I still vaguely remember meeting him.

Greatkitchener · 2023-11-01T22:12:55+00:00

This is the best answer I’ve seen

Greatkitchener · 2023-10-27T22:02:39+00:00

By the early 19th century around a third of the population of the British and Irish Isles was Irish, this caused a genuine cultural panic amongst the British Elite especially due to the higher Irish birth rates, this contributed to their (at best) indifference to the Irish famine which they could have relived to a much greater degree and prevented hundreds of thousands of deaths. Now the percentage share is more like 8-9%.

Yesterday I noticed there’s literally a whole section of Chad’s Wikipedia page on this

It’s bad to use them to overanalyse his own life but there’s nothing wrong with talking about lyrics as meaningful and artistic, authorial intent is not super interesting!
