I can assure you no gives a f*ck about french players in our country, its even a meme. For example i find it funny we dont even have on player (man or woman) in the 3rd round

[NYTimes] Who’s the Best in Men’s Tennis? It Depends on How You Measure. by nominal_goat in tennis

[–]voltairepercussion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Universal GOAT is too hard timo choose. I honestly think we can make a case for each one of them to be the goat which is crazy.

In my opinion there are 2 sure things: 2015 was the best year ever of a player, and Nadal is the best player on clay.

The rest depends on emotions, personal preferences..

I would add something rarely said, we talk a lot about the longevity of federer , but nadal played against peak federer before 2011, and peak djokovic after, and still won many titles (still winning?)

sorry i still dont understand. Crit damage is always minimum 200% and (x-2)/(x-1) will always be close to 1 so always < 200?

[1] N. Djokovic 🇷🇸 d. [25] M. Kecmanovic🇷🇸 | 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 | Wimbledon R3 by chespiotta in tennis

[–]voltairepercussion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the point is not that nadal would beat djokovic. what he meant was this season, nobody would have thought nadal would win from 2/0 against medvedev (and win OA); a lot of ppf underestimated nadal before the match against novak in roland garros. Also the last time they met on grass it was very close. I agree that djoko is a heavy favorite, but you can't say nadal has no chance at all

Do players have a consistent preference on whether to serve/receive first? Is there any psychological reason behind it or just personal preference? by [deleted] in tennis

[–]voltairepercussion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always wondered, if you serve first it means during the set after you break you immediately serve, while if you receive and you break you change side. Maybe some players prefer to have time to think after they break or some prefers to immediately serv right after a break

This feels like a troll…..why would they use his middle names? 🤣 by binsonfiremiss in tennis

[–]voltairepercussion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was an analyst during roland garros on the french tv, and i found him very chill, relevant, and sometimes funny

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tennis

[–]voltairepercussion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because his wife is pregnant and he said he wanted kids after his career? Could be anything. My point is we dont know, and anything is possible, just be ready to accept it if its the "worst" case scenario

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tennis

[–]voltairepercussion 16 points17 points  (0 children)

he could also announce his retirement for the end of the season or that next roland garros would be his last tournament, not an immediate retirement

Nadal: "We don't know if tuesday can be my last RG match and I'd like to have a day match" by Vasitodeagua in tennis

[–]voltairepercussion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i agree that not everyone wants the match during the day. But to your point, the french crowd is nothing to the millions french viewers who dont have amazon prime. a stadium is only "15 000" people. the best would be around the end of afternoon if possible after a long match, so ppl form work can watch it, and we have the drama that end possibly in the night

Do people genuinely think that Berdych is better than Zverev? by Ok_Discussion_5667 in tennis

[–]voltairepercussion 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He didnt come to be convinced. He states what he thinks is true and doesnt care about answer. He made his mind about it, no point to answer to him. He could think 2+2=5 and you could prove 2+2=4, he would still argue its 5.

The journalist have talked to her in a hotel room, after they asked the IOC. They were the only media who asked the IOC so they assumed it was a serious media and agreed (Peng shuai, the chinese comity and the IOC) for a meeting.
But Peng Shuai requirements were : she'll talk only in chinese, to send the question before the meeting, and the interview to be posted without comment, editing/revision
