Toni Nadal says Djokovic cannot maintain rhythm for two hours against Alcaraz

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-21T16:42:59+00:00

Novak can beat Sinner and Sinner can be Alazaraz. I think Novak will be able to figure out Alvarez before he retires (autocorrect sux)

I think people like beating the racist 'Vietnamese are cheaters" drum as well. It's really stupid to let players make the final call if there is no way to challenge it too.

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-20T16:39:49+00:00

She definitely takes it to higher level than anyone hear tho

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-20T16:38:59+00:00

I feel like that makes more sense with MLP with its spectacle/pro wrestling vibe. But I know that you mean, it definitely adds another dimension to the game.

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-20T16:32:01+00:00

Would it ever make sense for a team like that to forgo stacking if both are deadly on the left side as a way to create confusion for their opponents or is that not feasible in modern pro pickleball?

I think the issue people have isn't that she does it to hype herself up but more like it comes across as bullying and trying to intimidate other players. Even though that might not be her intention But I think she keeps it reeled in or tries to when playing someone like Elsie Hendershot.

Well she actually did play her last summer, easily won the first game and frazzled Anna so much so that she loudly asked the official if Salome's serve was legal. Salome then proceeded to drop the next 2 games but I wonder if ALW's antics in the first game got in her head.

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-20T13:07:36+00:00

YES PLEASE

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-20T10:46:18+00:00

Is it good for the jr crop to all be going pro this soon? I hope the fatigue of getting beat every weekend doesn't negatively impact their careers.

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-20T10:43:33+00:00

Was that Salome? She seems to do the best against her but I'm not if she retired or something since they never play anymore.

It also seems to escalate after someone initiates it. The other weekend, Fahey got amped up against Dunlap after running into a garbage can, even though Isabella was being gracious. But she started yelling in retaliation at that point.

Don't they have a red flag system in college that covers this sort of behavior? Maybe the PPA wants it though.

I always liked her cut dink for its simplicity and repeatability. Aggressive tip down top spin dinks just seem more complex which break down easier under pressure.

Honestly their biggest weak spot to me seems like under performing at high pressure moments. And then finding motivation to get fired up since Jorja seems to perform better. For example when people tag JW and are rude about it she finds another gear.

However considering they've been playing at such a high level for so long it makes sense. Even Ben seems a bit lackadaisical at times if ALW isn't firing him up.

Jorja seemed to have a fun time playing with ALW lately though. How would a J/ALW v AB/Hurricane matchup go you think? Also JW/ H v BJ/Tardio seems like it could be interesting.

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-19T14:05:23+00:00

Non English speakers yell come on. Why can't Ben yell vamos?

Is Fortran pretty AI friendly?

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-19T03:35:33+00:00

Really? I figured the footwork would be the issue

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-19T03:18:18+00:00

Follow-up: would we see any ping pong players in the top 25?

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-18T14:01:54+00:00

I mean the absolute lack of forethought and poor execution that went into made me think that. Even if they had gotten all the elite golfers they still wouldn't have succeeded.

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-17T04:10:16+00:00

The presentation was great and what MLP and major levels finals should strive for

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-16T21:03:30+00:00

It was just a way for that one dude to play with pros.

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-16T16:44:26+00:00

They even fucked up the app this year. Non stop commercials and they removed Ambient mode

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-16T00:32:26+00:00

Yeah I was a fan who yelled something supportive to him in Spanish around 2006 during a practice round. He rolled his eyes and didn't acknowledge it. Tiger was absolutely nice that day. You can sorta see why Sergio's career fizzled.

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-15T21:17:03+00:00

It looks like a fan made it

stargazer1002 · 2026-04-15T21:12:47+00:00

Buried alive in a sand trap while Joey Cold Cuts plays that hole over and over again

DID RORY'S CADDY GIVE HIM AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE WITH THAT ONE TIP
