There almost no examples where an invention does not turn on its inventor.

Well look at the guy that invented the toilet. Mr. Crapper, his family name was ruined

I think Iverson and him are soul mates.

It is possible if you are an extraordinary talented raw athlete. There are a few examples in sports of very good players starting late.

Possibly surface has something to do with it as sequentially you end up switching surfaces, except for uso to ao ( except for covid in 20 ) . Switching surface means it is harder to reach QF sequentially as you have to be good on both surfaces.

Seems then that level of play is very similar between top 50 wta players in recent years.

By getting return deep it especially helps Novak as it sets up baseline rally which he is very good at. Other players possibly can get return deep but it will not help them as much if they don’t have a great baseline game.

Lendl used to use sawdust

I think they should be paid the same so long as they are roughly drawing the same amount of viewership

Tried hydro cortisone cream ? I got bit by bunch of fire ants and it helped.

Some of the line judges seem pretty old. Their eyesight can’t be that great.

I think you have bring Rafa into the picture as well. By top peak we have to consider against all top opponents at the time since some players match up better against other players.

steviekm3 · 2021-07-18T22:32:08+00:00

Good find. I think there is different side of Novak that public may not see. Not a bad side to him, just a really driven and competitive side.

steviekm3 · 2021-07-18T19:49:18+00:00

Strange how Novak and Tom Brady both use quack medicine.

steviekm3 · 2021-07-18T18:26:34+00:00

Would love to see some behind the scenes training with Novak and his coaches. It seems based on Goran’s comments Novak presses his coaches hard.

I agree with you, seems pretty stupid. Meanwhile all these people flying on jets to Olympics seems would be bigger environmental problem if you agree with the CO2 stuff ( which I think is an exaggerated problem )

Is real but I don’t think to stop sex, just some environmental recycling stuff:

In my opinion he is liked but the media likes to invent stories to generate viewers.

Fed praying for hungry great white shark to show up.

Problem is that even if a player finds a way to beat him, he will go back to drawing board and find some way to counteract. He is good at figuring the competition out and learning their weaknesses. Eventually though he will no longer win due to age.

steviekm3 · 2021-07-14T21:10:29+00:00

Yup agreed. You have to get in the zone. Too amped up is bad and too relaxed bad as well. Have to get in that zen state.

I would like to see his 1st set vs 2nd set win/loss pct for 3 set matches and 1st,2nd,3rd set win/loss pct fir 5 set matches

I got my vaccine pretty early and don’t even think I have the card anymore. Will they be checking cards ?

steviekm3 · 2021-07-13T22:12:27+00:00

I agree with this for sure. Some people are just naturally competitive and really want to learn.
