That's a very interesting boy band.

The BTS of tennis?

[Deuce]

I would name the boy band 'Novak and the Vaccinated'.

Debut album: Lovers and Losers
Sample lyric: I'm a singles man and you're a singles girl / I'm up for doubles too if you wanna rock my world (ooh yeah)

[meganfernandez]

What is this surface? Linoleum?

[ti-amie]

Sigh. My boy has no chance on that surface.

[ptmcmahon]

Yes, do remember in any case!

Hehe ... I always find it strange to see someone give someone an exact 0% chance of winning. I'd at least say 1% or 2%, I think it's pretty hard to say it's 100% impossible for half the field to win

For all practical purposes, 2% is 0% ,isn't it? It is just a way of expressing, no exact science is involved!

Not for me. Saying 0% means it is absolutely... 100% impossible... that any of the four of them win. It's not equal to 2%.

[ashkor87]

The purpose of probabilities is to convey how much chance I think someone has..obviously there is no exactness about a purely subjective estimate..so 2% is the same, to me, as 0%

[ptmcmahon]

If you're saying 12% is the same as 10% sure, there's not much difference there.

But 0 % means absolutely, no possible chance at all. Just like you can't say you're 100% sure something will happen, then later say "Well 100% is the same as 98%."

If your 0% means 2% then... I'm not going to worry about it one of the four wins.

So who of these guys would prefer the fastest possible indoor court? I think we can rule out Nadal and Ruud. Perhaps FAA would particularly like it? I'm not sure...

I think FAA...

[ponchi101]

FAA and Fritz.
Rafa and Ruud, as you say, would have it.
Medvedev, with his "I'm in the parking lot" return of serve, would have no chance.
Rublev, with his extreme FH, would shank 1 out of 2.
Novak would be so frustrated, unable to track down that second shot.
Fritz would love the short points. FAA too.

Zero. Perhaps the most potent mathematical number of them all. Together with infinity (which is not a "number", is a concept).
