Let the burning of pants commence. These things drive me nuts.



Lol my post was deleted on another forum because of “politics” for pointing out how much of an rear end in a top hat Djokovic is in response to someone calling him “the most likeable” athlete in modern day sports.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I was way more tired than I thought I was when I got home yesterday so I put the match on DVR and then almost forgot to watch it.

drat glad I didn't though, that was so much fun.

When he finally got a warning for bouncing the ball 235 times before his serve and the entire arena erupted with cheers? That was nice.

Super win from Carlos, particularly after giving a free set away in the beginning. Such a complete player.

Not sure where this goes so I’ll put it here. It’s about the American need to hit big serves:

A guy brought a radar to our league night and we clocked our serves. The radar was placed at the net and my speed averaged mid-90s. Fast, but not ~triple digits~. So, of course, I want to extrapolate the speed at the net back to the speed off the racket which is what tournaments measure.

I’m not smart enough for that math, but investigative googling found this answer from 22 years ago for the exact question I have.

The calculation estimates a 120mph serve off the racket slows to 96mph at the net. So I’m going to say my speed off the racket was around 115 since physics calcs have optimistic assumptions. Triple digits confirmed, no need to investigate further.

Just take a video of yourself and compare it frame by frame with the Pete samparas serving to Dave letterman video.

do you guys remember in the wimbledon finals djokovic smashing his racquet into one of the wood posts that holds up the net which resulted in a small piece of wood chipping off the post.

I don’t know why I watched that. The ending was obvious Djere got broken in the 4th despite being up 40-0 and 40-15.
