After I've woken up each morning- I try to remember to scream for Pat McEnroe to shut up, out there somewhere in the universe. It'll make you feel better.texasniteowl wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 4:37 amAnd yet Patrick McEnroe kept saying how Muchova blazed through the first set. hah! A 17 minute game is blazing? A 43 minute set is blazing? Someone needs to buy him a watch! And he said it 3 or 4 times?! I was shouting shut up to my tv.
With Roland Garros just around the corner, get ready for our Survivors' Pool, You Can't Win Jack and Predictions contests.
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.

I didn't expect Tiafoe to make the QF (or R16, etc.) So, these days, a solid result for him- albeit, CLEARLY, the draw was his friend.skatingfan wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 4:30 am I didn't expect Tiafoe to defend the semifinals from last year, but I didn't expect Shelton to be the person to deny him the spot.

The easiest job on earth. Being a Talking Head. They have their pre-set analogies and there is seldom any form of analysis from their side. So, if a set is 6-0, it was a trashing. Never mind everything you say. It was 6-0, and that is a fact. But that was a very odd 6-0 for all the other reasons you mention.texasniteowl wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 4:37 amAnd yet Patrick McEnroe kept saying how Muchova blazed through the first set. hah!

It is like they have preset narratives. Zverev cannot hit one double fault without everybody bringing up he fact that he is a "serial double faulter". Rune hits 12 DF in a match? Nah, no mention of that because the narrative on Rune is not that he double faults a lot (it is a different narrative).
