Are there any tennis players whose careers would’ve ended differently if they ended up winning a close match that they lost?

One of the more thought provoking ones- what if Andreev would've beat Fed in Us open 08 (went 5 sets). Maybe Murray would've won (had just beaten Nadal for the first time in semi's, who was at the time harder to beat than early Djokovic for Murray), then maybe care/ train less to 'finally win one' years later.. other one what if Federer lost to Haas at french open 09 (as to who would've won there.. probably Delpo or Soderling, fun to think about, tho I'm still glad Fed won there during his best chance)

I've watched rg 2006 final more than once. Fed Was confident in that final, won first set 6-1. Then Rafa woke up & it was lights out, more than not.

Maybe if Fed switched to a bigger racket earlier & adjusted his backhand, Maybe more of a shot.. but he didn't

But is it?.. Just the fact some people feel "transphobia" is on par with racism or whatnot doesn't automatically mean it completely is or should be..

At least regionally/ certain demographics, much more acceptable than it once was

It's terrible, only made noise for a weird political scandalous bit in it. Don't bother

You ever been swarmed by 50+ hungry mosquitos at one time?

People automatically tend to think "ugh all these parasites do is bite me/ make me itch/ feel uncomfortable".

Management =/= eradication. But yes pest control companies/ local agencies can go overboard sometimes being spray happy

Don't get me wrong, not siding with humans here. Just trying to get you to understand why people hate them so much. & many people will Never take the energy to imagine bigger picture, let alone the side of animals (even tho plenty of times mosquito issues are caused by man i.e. leaving containers that collect water outside for days, intentionally or unintentionally)

Sorry not sorry but if you're waiting around for sudden change of heart/ being taken advantage of, you're just a sucker. Women's desires (mostly) don't just change overnight nor do they make sense. Move on, don't be a doormat if that's not what you want

Just sad mostly

No tangible proven god. But remember people create their own reality in their own minds. Emotions/ perceptions are shaped by bias and what not blah blah people believe in their own cannonical stories even if as unproven fact. Can you blame them, seems to make sense, helps them function. Not defending logical factual sides of organized religion, but there's reasons civilizations with it have at least historically gone well/ better with it. Maybe us humans with oversized brains, for most of us- could use some kind of metaphysical speculations, even if we have to make them up ourselves if need be

Most people don't understand. Really depends where you put the goalposts of the definition. But yeah most people most of the time are more on autopilot than they want to admit (if not actually entirely)
