I agree I’m wondering if the “Big 3” can handle a best of five Slam right now. It’ll be hotter than a mud sharks rear end after a rap concert in New York too. People that do gamble should take a hard look at Thiem for Forrest Hills.

You guys have me wondering. Gonna do some research to see how many matches Thiem has played compared to other players. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more than guys like Kei and Milos.

That didn't work, so I started in 2014 when Thiem began playing mostly ATP-level tournies and compared his total matches played to everyone else. Not surprising he's #1. But #2 surprised me a bit considering he's had a few fluke injuries.
Thiem and Goffin records are almost identical too.
The listed guys are the only ones I checked, so it's not a complete list at all. If there's anyone you want me to check and add to the list, let me know.

Just Dani and Tsetse if there is enough data.
I keep forgetting about Medvedev, which is weird because he was the guy of the summer last year.
Tsetse is the one guy besides Thiem who has been playing a lot. It may not mean anything, but I think he will probably be as ready as anyone.

They were playing Futures even in 2016, but those are still matches.

Had to downgrade Medvedev a little going forward when he said this in January after losing to Stan.
"The more five-set matches you play, the more experience you gain, even if you lose them... Me, I don't like to play five sets.
I get tired. Even though I'm there, I want to win it. At this moment, didn't win one in my life. We'll try better next time," Medvedev said.

Crack, I can’t thank you enough for the research you do and all the enlightenment you bring to the table. Off your list for the possible US Open being played, (which I seriously doubt), I rank the men as
Dominic Thiem
Novak Djokovic
Goffin
Rafa Nadal
Fagnini
Stanimal Wawrinka

I was led to believe that skinny Slavic animal was having Heath issues with his arms and legs. I know The Fed is out due to injury so no Roger Federer will most definitely suck.

Don’t forget Mr. Shitsipants

I did gorget about Tsitsipas and that Greek heathen could make some noise in Forrest Hills if he’s on. You do know the Greeks invented buggery don’t you?
Posted on 7/20/20 at 6:17 pm to moester75
Did not know that. Ignorance is not always bliss but maybe so in this case. 
Posted on 7/21/20 at 1:56 pm to bayoucracka
Moester is this a new serve technique?

I could not get into World Team Tennis.
I see Tennis Channel just basically says "Re-Open 2020" on their schedule all week. Thanks for the detail, guys.

WTT is good for betting because info is hard to come by. They have one of the strangest rules I've seen in any sport. If the losing team wins the final individual match, play continues until the winning team wins a game. So you can be down by 10 and still tie the match and play a super tiebreaker. Obviously it's designed to keep the matches close, but I don't really like it.

Am I the only one who didn’t know about this?

I did not know about that particular run, but I seem to remember he did have a number of top ten wins. Peak Nalbandian was rock solid. He had a sweet backhand. I remember someone pointing out how he could angle balls in a way to hurt players like nobody else.

That’s the first time I have ever noticed how low Sonya Kenin holds her service ball before the coming strike. That is interesting Crack.

Yes you are crack I was in the dark. The powers that be (our overlords) of professional tennis don’t care at all if they lose our kind of fan but they’re about to lose my rabid fandom for good. They’re probably rejoicing to get rid of me. frick them all.
