"if you’ve seen one Medvedev vs Zverev match, you’ve seen them all."
Goodness, isn't this the truth. Folks brought up the longest Aus final between Novak and Rafa when the RO final a few weeks back went very long. That Aus final was one of the most boring matches I've ever seen! Very much like any Meddy/Sasha matches. While the RO final was anything but boring.
Here's to hoping we'll get Jannik vs. Carlitos at the end, but I have a feeling one of those guys isn't going to make it. And for some reason, I think it's gonna be Alcaraz who won't be there.
Having said that...I picked Carlos vs. Draper for the final on the bracket! So I guess I'm just a big fat liar. Or...I have no idea what the hell is going to happen here. Wimbledon really has become the most difficult major to predict due to the paucity of grass tournaments. We really need a Masters grass...
Top of the 4th quarter has some great matches. Rune who has been floundering v big serving Jarry, the battle of the American next gens, Fonseca v Fearnley will be rowdy, and Eastbourne finalist Brooksby v Mallorca champ Griekspoor
If there's anything I've learned from lurking on Talk Tennis/tennis forums or the comments sections of YouTube tennis it's that you get dragged for whatever opinion you have even if it was a well thought out opinion/observation. Irrational feelings and shi**y reading comprehension/what about-isms trump well thought analysis and breakdown over there. Don't worry about doubling down for the r*tards lol.
I think that's what caught me off guard. Substack is so civil by comparison. If it gets too big I'm sure they'll make there way here, but at least I can cull them!
Medvedev already out to Bonzi in 4, and Bonzi definitely looked like the better player. Tsitsipas already down 1 set and trailing in 2nd set. Fritz has a brutal 1st round draw vs GMP.
most likely variance, but also, he was ranked 1 last year by Tennis Insights with a 7.9 across the year. "Based on speed, spin, depth, width, and impact on opponent",
I'd wager it's a combination of how close in he stands, how many balls he can get on his racquet with his reach, and coupled with his ability to still hit it cleanly, meaning it gets back on opponents a little quicker, and that has a big impact on opponent.

Great article as always

Very rough little section for all players!

GMP 5-2 in that fourth set buster. That must have been a rough sleep last night.
Brutal sport mentally
I'm curious: why is Sinner's return rating so much higher than that of any other player?
