The Unofficial 2018 Non-GS Tennis Thread

What animal has two thumbs and is already starting to get fired up for the 2018 season?




Dear Petey B:
Thanks for reaching out to m, partner. I hope your thanksgiving went well. Getting geared up for Christmas? Hey, look man, I know that it's tough coming up with story ideas around this time, it being the tennis offseason at all, so what you might wanna consider doing is writing an article that discusses some potential rule changes. No big deal if all the rule changes you mention are basically just solutions in search of a problem, just roll with it. And then when you're done with that, sprinkle in a dozen or so references to how all of this can be blamed on millenials.

Don't worry so much about finding a good, tight nexus between the rule change parts and the millenial reference sprinklings. Let your readers connect those dots. They've got 5 or 6 weeks to work on it.

Stated differently: the above article is a waste of perfectly good electrons, and this is true even though electrons are pretty much readily available and not likely be become scarce in the next 6 billion or so years. No, seriously, Peter, that article written by 11 year old grandson, right?

Okay, I'll stop. The let cords idea I can get on board with. The rest are classic solutions in search of problems.

But at least it gave me an excuse to start this thread.
