So much for Rublev having no chance of winning.
Don't take it personally, Ashkor, but nobody here has 0%. And, looking at the points, this is the typical, modern court. Super slow, players get to everything, and every other point is a monster rally.
BTW. Medvedev said that "Everybody is a contender here". He should know a bit.
For our SP players, remember: just the LAST NAME of the player, unless two players with the same last name play on the same day. And do not quote any post, as it will put you over the limit of characters for our parser

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
But people need to understand that these percentages are just a way of expressing the chances..0% and 2% both mean the same thing..hardly any chance at all, in my opinion. I still think Rublev and Fritz have hardly any chance of winning the title..not that they won't win a match!

I find it a bit odd that a person from India will say that 0% means the same as 2%. You guys INVENTED the number! If you were to say that 1% is, in all practical purposes, the same as 2%, sure. The difference is trivial. But 0% is so absolute that that is where I find that prediction odd.
Anyway. After yesterday's matches, my prediction of FAA winning this thing went out the window. He was blasting his FH and still, Ruud got to it. And Fritz played a very solid match (Rafa didn't). So count my predictions null.
In our PREDICTIONS game, so far, I am 0-3. I have called every single match already played wrong.

He was in control the entire match.
I gather, again, that the FAA pick was a bit hasty.

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
Thank you but there is a place for exactness- a discussion on subjective probabilities is not one of them..people need to understand that. What validity do these probabilities have, anyway? None at all - they are simply a short-handponchi101 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 6:26 pmPlease, take this with a LOT of sense of humor.ashkor87 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 4:20 pm But people need to understand that these percentages are just a way of expressing the chances..0% and 2% both mean the same thing..hardly any chance at all, in my opinion.

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
Using the exact numbers of 0%, is not subjective though. You can say something has a 40% chance and sure that can be subjective.
But not 0%
If I have 100 cookies, eat most of them but not all, I don't say I have "0% of my cookies left."

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
I will revise my probability for Rublev. I think he has a better chance than Tsitsipas right now.

Re: Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)
Given that the court is slower thn we expected, that might be a bit premature..Tsitsi can do well on a slow court..so he lost to Djoko- everyone loses to Djoko..remember Garcia winning after losing to Swiatek!

I suggest we take this offline..not to be rude, but I imagine people on this forum are fed up with this little debate.
