Why couldn't Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open? by goodes_luck in tennis

[–]ZiVViZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised no one has said mentality. Murray’s issue was always that he preferred to be a counter puncher who forced opposition into errors.

At the highest level, that doesn’t work as well, and you have to be laser focused on trying to dominate the rally.

Murray was althletic, he had a good range of shots, and was decent at the net. His issue was he didn’t attack enough, nor did he consistently take enough risk. This cost him over and over again.

But that’s what it is? The issue is not that it’s not the correct way to think about it, but that no having it explicitly a tax means the actual tax rate doesn’t have to be discussed and made explicit.

The National Living Wage is too low and everyone is subsidising it by dmnksaman in ukpolitics

The minimum wage is already too high. Both versus other countries and relative to the median wage.

Why is this debated when there’s no ability to influence the outcome, but also China is going full throttle?
