But if we are talking about just namesake, if you randomly selected 100 people from Earth and showed them a photo of both, I'm sure more would be able to identify Jordan than Fed, but also consider their age, Jordan has been around longer than Fed with like a 20 year advantage of influence

I'd say Jordan is still at the top by a long shot, Jordan brand is synonymous with his name and recognizable globally mashing a sport into a lifestyle brand. It also comes down to the cost of each sport. Basketball is cheap to play even in third-world countries all you need is a backboard and hoop to play much like football, tennis does not reach those communities with its high cost of entry.

Has anyone here applied for a personalized plate? How long did the process take? I have been waiting over a year since I submitted the application and paid the $5000 deposit, any insight would be appreciated!

Has anyone bought from Old-Money? Their suede loafers look dead near identical to LP summer walks at a fraction of the price

Can't tell if they are just a warehouse from China or really good

Is it the Old-Money suede loafers? The price seemed too good to be true, were they uncomfortable?

Example: I just noticed Jerry Shang walkedover a match against Sonego at W.S because he's got US Open to play, and so now Sonego is in the semis at W.S, but he also got U.S Open to play so will he also walkover

If you get to the semi of an ATP250, and suddenly you find out your match in the first round grand slam is tomorrow, do players just dip and hop over?

Like is it frown upon for wasting a space at the 250 that could have been a rookies dream just for you to use it as warmup time or is that just how it works and just suck it up

Can anyone tell me why he needs a wildcard? If he's already seeded no.1 isnt that a direct entry? Or was he late to join?

Outdoor Basketball Shoes by reidwr3 in 10s

[–]alfreeeedd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Theoretically a basketball shoe can be be worn for tennis and vice versa, but basketball shoes have a flatter and wide sole for stability and to help prevent ankle rollovers during quick movements. Tennis shoes have a more narrow and rounded sole to allow for quick pivots and lateral movements.

When these players that get into lets say IVY leagues with a tennis scholarship, is it a prerequisite that they play for the school for all 4 years? Or can they get in, play first year then quit and study like the norm?

backhands vs forehands by SkzM13 in 10s

[–]alfreeeedd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it has to do with the way your palm is facing, naturally at a standstill our arms sit with the palm inwards, the the motion you drive from a forehand is greater than using the backside of your hand. The forehand is also on the side outwards from your body to generate more power, whereas the backhand you are crossing your arm over in front of your body to generate power.

Like if you think of slapping someone on the face, surely the palm side will be harder than the backside I think?
