I did go by weights. Sure, they might not be correct. But he certainly outweighs some of them by a decent margin.
I'm not saying he moves any where near as well as the other very top players on tour. Given his size, that would be pretty remarkable. But I do think he moves pretty decent, being a bigger player.
That is all. Hope your insults made you feel good.

The door is open for an Isner quarterfinal run. 
That would be pretty cool.

I want to know this but I'll probably never come into contact with anyone close enough to give that scoop.

I believe Roddick has occasionally mentored Harrison and I see similarities with regard to weapons. Big serve and big attacking groundstrokes especially off the forehand side. A poor man's Roddick on both accounts if you will. I don't know what you mean that he has "no backhand." I expect you will compare his backhand to Wawrinka or somebody like that to justify saying that. Regarding his movement, as mentioned previously I watched him play in March at Indian Wells. He moves well. He is more of a "powerful" mover than a "quick" mover but he is by no means slow around the court. Here again I expect you will compare him to Nadal to justify saying he doesn't move well. Bottom line is I still contend that Harrison has the physical tools to be a top 20 player. Whether or not he can stay healthy and if he is mentally tough enough we shall see.

The Tropical Thunder maybe a little, but it doesn't balance out how bad I feel when people give Raonic credit for athleticism. THat sorta thiing cuts me deep.

If Raonic tears this board apart, this can be the question that brings us all back together.
What do you say lsupride87? I know you have some info. There's a common road whore in every graduating class. There's a common road whore that gets passed through the halls of every fraternity. By God the WTA has to have a certifiable CRDub or two.

But this is pretty much been the description of every American player since Roddick.
How do you describe Jack Sock's game? My guy Rhyne Williams has had some back issues and has dropped way back in the rankings, but back when he was considered an up and comer, how would you have described his game? Same way. And both Sock and Williams (I"m not giving up on him) have actual weapons on the forehand side. Harrison's is merely good.

I hope I haven't given anyone the impression that I'm rooting against the guy. I just don't see anything in his game that allows him to stand out from the pack-- to make a jump into the top 20. I never have.

Wozniacki with an easy W.

Damnit McHale played like shite at 6-2, 5-6. I kind of feel like she needed to force a tiebreaker and win the match in 2. Will be an uphill battle to win the 3rd set against Lisicki.

Snaggletooth wins.
I had been thinking this side of the draw was tougher with Fed, Rafa, Murray, and Berd, but I think the other one is deeper with dangerous guys.

And just like that McHale ' s Wimbledon is over - loses 6-1 in the 3rd. I like McHale. She needs to play with more confidence because she's got all the shots.

I don't have any idea how the porn industry makes any money at all when there are a dozen sites where you can freely download whatever the hell you want. But that's a topic in and of itself, I suppose.

Speaking of all the shots, how is Maddy Keys doing? That girl crushes the ball.
Posted on 7/2/15 at 9:13 am to SystemsGo
Pretty sure Keys was one of only 2 matches that didn't finish on its first day, so she had to close out yesterday and is just starting now.
Posted on 7/2/15 at 9:35 am to SystemsGo
Keys is a big girl with a big game. I like her a lot too. Sloane is by far the most "complicated" of the three. Although she did sign a ball for my daughter. I follow all 3 on social media. McHale and Keys really come across as wholesome good girls.
