That's a disaster waiting to happen.

I'm pretty sure that's just a short term thing to help him with his grass court game, no?

Well people havent said hes "almost done" or that he is "slowing down" or whatever... but they have been questioning how long he can play at this high level due to his physical playing style and have been saying that for a while


Okay, but within reasonable limits. I think most thought he could make it to 28.

I like this quote:

Sharapova has basically two tactics: hit the ball hard and hit the ball harder.

Yeah, I totally understand people not liking her game and thinking she has zero variety. The one thing I do like is she hits a bit of a flatter ball than most women and it's nice to see that work against poly string banana shots these days.

Not going to lie, after those first two sets I started thinking the guys should play two out of three. Djoker was puking and Rafa was apparently cramping and dead at the end. Ivanisevic one strike tennis is not looking so bad to me at this point.

Anyway, props to techno-Rafa.

I like best of five, but it can rear an ugly head in the late late rounds.

Nice gif.
