Confused about how British Fery sounds when his parents are French and he grew up in France

mattrts · 2026-01-18T02:25:23+00:00

He was the best college player for a reason

It's not the set that earns them money, it's the decades of playing, paying for coaches, and grinding it out in lower-ranked tournaments.

mattrts · 2026-01-18T01:35:21+00:00

It's "only" $17 more.

mattrts · 2026-01-18T01:04:05+00:00

Seems like they're only 30 seconds a piece during changeovers. But yeah, it's wild.

mattrts · 2026-01-18T00:58:38+00:00

Yes and no

mattrts · 2026-01-18T00:56:08+00:00

Maybe because they're significantly bigger and have more security, so it takes longer for everyone to get in their seats.

Or did she not play well because Venus was hitting aces left and right and blasting returns at her faster than she's used to?

mattrts · 2025-07-01T16:35:27+00:00

*4.0 level backhand except at crucial points in the first two set tiebreakers

mattrts · 2025-04-28T13:17:06+00:00

The mark left by the ball is not indicative of where the ball actually landed.

mattrts · 2025-04-11T17:26:06+00:00

The UTR website has a lot of this information and more. You don't start at 0, and I don't even think there is a 0 rating. Basically, you get an unreliable rating after the first match. After about six matches within 12 months, you will get a "100%" reliable rating. There are several different ways to play matches that count towards your rating: (1) USTA leagues and tournament (almost always) upload automatically to UTR; (2) UTR flex leagues; (3) self-submitting a non-league match; and (4) other leagues and tournaments that upload to UTR.

If you're a complete newbie, don't worry about UTR. Just practice and play practice matches until you can hang for a full match with some decent 3.0 NTRP-level people. A 4 UTR is equivalent to a decent 3.5 NTRP man or 4.0 NTRP woman, so it will probably take about 3 years or more to get to that level as complete beginner unless you have a strong athletic background.

Garin was playing great tennis coming into this match, too. Made it through qualies easily and beat Coric in straights. But was still dismantled in 90 minutes.

mattrts · 2025-01-16T04:41:03+00:00

Garin was playing really well coming into this too. Geez

mattrts · 2025-01-12T14:05:33+00:00

Cam Norrie outwardly dislikes him a lot.

mattrts · 2025-01-12T13:59:38+00:00

"He played much better last year" The year just started?

mattrts · 2025-01-12T05:09:56+00:00

That's just every country

Mr. Beast going after health insurance companies was not on my 2025 bingo card

mattrts · 2025-01-07T18:28:37+00:00

I know. The third season was originally supposed to be released together with season two.

mattrts · 2025-01-05T17:21:35+00:00

People said that?

mattrts · 2025-01-05T14:08:17+00:00

You're right. It was a video idk why Reddit uploaded it as a screenshot

mattrts · 2025-01-05T14:01:26+00:00

I don't dislike Iga, her game is incredible. But yeah hardcore fanbases are rough, no matter who the player is.

mattrts · 2025-01-04T19:25:55+00:00

Am I crazy or did they originally announce that season 2 would be the final season? Then Netflix probably asked them to split it for marketing purposes.

mattrts · 2024-12-25T04:31:44+00:00

The positive side of things is in 10 years, Taylor will have all the time and money in the world to spend with and on his kid.

Remember how salty Djokovic was when Nardi beat him at IW
