Interesting stat playing around with rankings numbers.
The lowest ranked player to make the main draw (through qualifying) is Yuichi Sugita, ranked 245 with 176 points. But hypothetically if he were to win the tournament, those 2000 points would move him up to #14. lol.

This dude Cedrik-Marcel Stebe is ranked 518th. He keeps showing up for big events under a protected ranking and cashing checks. His last official match was a Futures event and he retired down 6-4, 2-1 to a guy ranked 628th.
Opelka gets to play him tomorrow. For anyone into free money at high juice, that's about as free as it gets.

some quotes from tsitsipas after today's match.... kinda sucks to see him out so soon...
on nextgen guys lacking experience:
on trying to stay consistent:

"I don't think that's an excuse," Tsitsipas said.
"We've seen players my age, many years ago, I would like to name Rafa, Roger, seemed very mature and professional what they were doing.
"They had consistency from a young age. They always did well tournament by tournament without major drops or inconsistency.
"Something that we as the NextGen players lack, including myself as well, is this inconsistency week by week.
"It's a week-by-week problem basically, that we cannot adjust to that.
on trying to stay consistent:
quote:
"My goal this year was to stay as consistent as possible. I had a great year last year. There were a lot of ups and downs during the year.
"I really wanted to focus and be aware of every single match that I'm going to play this year.
"It hasn't been going up to the plan. I'll be doing what I'm doing, and let's see what happens."

That's wild! So I guess he's got a years worth of tournament entries at #71. That should be good for ~$250k or so.

I love these quotes.

Guy on Reddit posted a few months back that Shitsy was the luckiest player on tour. Using a combo of service points won and return points won, he claims that players should have a certain win percentage, and Tsitsipas was way out of line (lucky) in regard to his raw numbers.
I haven’t read the whole post or all of the comments, but it did seem like Shitsy was pulling out too many close wins for an extended stretch. Some of the commenters replied that he may be clutch as opposed to lucky, but the poster claims that historically the idea of being clutch is mostly a myth, which I tend to agree with.

Interesting. I'm going to tackle this when I'm less baked.

The last time someone made a big deal out of a player outperforming his stats was when Grigor was #3 in the world.
We know how that turned out... so there could be some truth to the idea.

Anyone have another decent favorite to parlay with Jeel See-mawn? I would prefer just 2 guys, but may end up having to go with...
Simon

Watching that silly Australian play while I wait for Serena to play. Stephens won this morning so we have Keys, Kenin, and Stephens heading to round two at The All England Club. Duchess Kate is even in attendance today. Not too shabby.

The problem with the Next Gen is that almost all of them have awful return games if you look at their stats. That's why Felix is so much better than the rest of the Next Gen players. He's won 24% of his return games on hard court for his career which is a higher break percentage than Federer and Djokovic had at the same points in their careers. The guy has the tools to be an excellent returner.
