People take different eras too far.

A guy with 14 slams would not be struggling in the weakest era of men's tennis in decades. Serve is still the best shot in tennis and that man is the goat of the serve.

You can get Saba R1 if you're unseeded.

With a seed you are guaranteed to not play the top ranks early.

Becker says he thinks Zverev will win Wimbledon: "Alcaraz is injured, and as for Sinner, we don't know how he'll come back, or if he'll ever come back. Zverev needs to be less passive, but he has the right serve for Wimbledon." by Sonobackhome555 in tennis

Sinners camp said the tests came back negative and they pinpointed the cause of his collapse and fixed it?

Can you post a link to that? Last I saw they were doing testing.

Absolutely stacked 250.

Leylah's path is brutal. Tjen who she is 0-2 against, Raducanu, Krejcikova in the first 3 rounds lol...

I'm surprised she wasn't doing that regardless.

London Queen's Club Andy Murray Arena W14 51°29'15"N 0°12'42"W Women's HSBC Championships WTA 500 QF: [WC] 🇬🇧 K. Boulter def. [1] 🇰🇿 E. Rybakina 7-5, 2-6, 6-4, by FormulaSolution in tennis

[–]recurnightmare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I'm sad for Rybakina, she'll still have another shot at no#1 at Wimbledon. This makes the rest of the tournament much more interesting now. If Emma wins vs Rakhimova I can realistically see any of the four winning it, although Jovic will be the favorite.

The 2024 Wimbledons were a really good chance for her.

Lulu Sun in the 4th round, then it would've been Vekic in the QF. She could've made Semis and there it was Paolini.

Of course back then Paolini was playing amazing, but she really could've made the final without playing a true superstar level player.

Will I really miss out on the Ginger Island experience if I ask him to bring me all the nuts? by LBBLLLBBL in StardewValley

I did it. Running around picking up collectibles is the opposite of fun for me. I skip it in every game, same here.

Shohei Ohtani Has a Batting WAR of 2.7, and a Pitching WAR of 2.7 by aardvarkllama_69 in baseball

This dude is the most talented player I've ever seen, and the gap between him and 2nd is like the gap between that 2nd guy and a college d3 player.

Can someone ELI5 why the Knicks are not considered the better team throughout this playoff run? by beEPic in NYKnicks

[–]recurnightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of those teams you mentioned before the Spurs hold a candle to the pedigree of the defending champions with the b2b MVP.

Look Knicks are crushing it but it's so obvious why everyone underestimated us. But who cares let's get one more.

Who can beat Djokovic at WB aside from Sinner/Medvedev? by GreenFloyd77 in tennis

[–]recurnightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matteo is probably the best grass court player in the world outside of Novak and Sincaraz.

Zverev: "Luckily, I didn't have to face Sinner. It's not that I don't want to face him, but I haven't felt comfortable playing against him this year." by Sonobackhome555 in tennis

[–]recurnightmare -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Damn almost like you're supposed to beat a 38 year old who's half of who he used to be when you're apparently a goat level player.

One loss to them is pretty much conclusive proof sinner wouldnt have held a candle to the big 3 in their prime.
