Previous: January
February did not go as planned here in the blog – disease and day work intervened. March should be better.
Anyway, here’s this month’s catching bag, historical tidbits and trivia.
1. Newmark be saved Fantastic photo that is the title of this month. A little research, on May 10, 1922, President and Mrs. Harding occurred in the form of several players in the white house in the white house in the form of an exhibition matches. There was a similar exhibition, including Bill Tilden, a year ago.
Mullah Mallory, then the US champion was six times, but the title was lost in a set of competition with Marion Zinderstein Jessup. Then Watson revealed Washurn and threw Jessup and R. Norris Williams another bunch. The President remained for tennis for about 90 minutes, including both of these kits.
2. Openly not tennis, not in sports: Speed ​​Excitements: Why are many sports faster?
Due to genetic restrictions, the athletes are generally unable to do improve the speed As easily as other physical properties such as endurance or power. This means that employers are likely to prioritize in rapid athletes in a spiraling temp race.
Tennis will never be about speed completely, but speed and agility makes everything easier and more efficient than anything.
3. Last month, we marked 15,000 matches on the basis of the match schedules project. We have passed nine million shooting threshold this month.
4. Denis Shapovalov defeated Taylor Fritz a Tiebreak who made a decision in Dallas. It was first Tolerate Tiebreak tolerance Thirteen attempts:
In a strange way, the winner with Berrett 2019, in 12-2 in 12-2 in 12-2 in 12-2 am improved. Charming (and maybe properly) to look at the last losing strips something On the other hand, on the other hand, in the decade of a tennis, the shape should be in TBS, even the most players.
5. We congratulate Simona Halep in a beautiful career. As a fan of a long time, I choose to ignore over the past few years. Probably never know what he took, and so on. It would be very good to get a few healthy, easy-to-use chapters, but it was a good run. Simona ranked 93rd in the list of tennis 128 and wrote later, as part of a longer essay:
It remains classified. His main game has developed its service in a weapon because it slips towards the opposite parties. This New Yorker He called him “no one’s imagination about the grass judicial player” and he raised the Wimbledon Cup. Known as a scroller, he climbed the highest peak of the sport.
6. Again tennis, re-applied: I love it visualization From Mike Beuoy to:
This is a great way of both the summit on both the summit and longevity. I would like to find some ways to represent tennis career along these lines.
7. Another glorious career ends: Diego Schwartzman is hanging the rocket. Buenos appeared in front of the house crowd in Aires, and even won a match against Nicolas Jarry. The history of the sport cannot have a larger overformer expectations.
I wrote about Schwartzman EconomyBack in 2017:
In advance, Mr. Schwartzman is the weakest in service. Hits the lowest portion of Aces (2.5%) and earns the lowest part of the service games of any top-50 players (63%). Compensates this by returning fatal. In fact, in such a strong rallies, if the tennis is developing with a secret service, as badminton, as badminton, is likely to become an ring of one’s hall. In 2017, 44% of his return points, 44% of his return points, and the round and Mr. Murray and Mr. Murray and Mr. Djokovic, won. Initially against the service, the best; Faced with the second service, he heads the package again.
The transition to the “Deadly return” is going to a post I wrote the same year, I tried to adjust the points of gain in terms of competitive levels. Metric has already improved the sterling RPW.
I also remind you that in 2012 I have very strong feelings about wild cards. I tried to differentiate how much the American tennisan, which compared the Jack Socks-Buyer, which is a few free transmission, such as the golden guy: unfavorable argentina:
Whether Sock or Schwartzman is a more effective year, it is an open question. Some can choose America’s Challenger header and the best 100 skin; Others, Schwartzman’ın 30 matches would prefer the level of futures.
But Here’s Kicker: Socks won $ 137,000 and raised the ranking # 164, Schwartzman $ 17,000 And right now participates in # 245. By losing the masters of Indian wells and in the first round, Schwartzman won the most money by winning six tournaments.
Schwartzman won at the end and is not just because PickleBall doesn’t play.
8. Myrra Andreeva’s name of Dubai transferred it up to 4 Elo ratings:
Man pointed to a tail The fourth above: Sabalenka is three years older, greater than three years old, greater than three years old than three years old. And the Madison buttons are three years old Sabalenka.
9. While talking about the issues, here’s something I have forgotten to include last month. Match point in the Australian open semi-saving point against Swiateka, he joined short list from the women who came from brink to win a large title. Only in the first three decades of the open era of the open era, it was more common, but it did it.
My favorite entry on the list, Muriel Robb, who won the Wimbledon final in 1902, was still saved by a match:
1902: (Wimbledon) Muriel Robb d. Charlotte Sterri 7-5 6-1 in the call round. The day before, when Robb’s Sterry lived 6-4 40-30-30-30-30-30-30-30-30-30-30 and 30-30, the match was cut on 4-6 13-11 after saving the deputy. The match was repeated from the beginning.
10. The best Suitable video I came across this month: Andy Murray and Arnaud Arnaud Clement in the United States in 2005:
11. How quantitative The space between Jannik Sinner and … you?
This is interesting. The elo-rating gap, which is a chance to win 90%, is about 390 points. Thus, the sinner, 483 Coleman Wong, who has a chance to beat Leonardo Aboian, has a chance to beat the # 228 Coleman Wong, which is 90% chance to beat the # 15% Gael Monfils. My Elo ratings think only the opponent and the opponent are electing, so I can’t go beyond this and children like Aboan can not be properly appreciated.
Again, it is three levels between a guy who won the sinner and some ITF names. There is at least one level at the bottom of the pro ranks, perhaps two.
After that, measure becomes tougher. Utr Probably here can help us. In addition, the “weekend” tenniscier depends on how to determine tennisci. I am a bowel reaction, the level of Agustin’s 12 is a little high, but it looks 9 or 10 reasonable. I can just think of a stronger “weekend” player. In both cases, the wider spot is the best of the variety between a recreational player and the world, but also something about sports, but also how attractive to his age and how to attract and watch it.
12. Steve Tignor again Arthur Ashe’s 1975 Wimbledon Victory:
Jimmy Connors was a dreary to say that he was the extreme cute coming to Wimbledon in 1975. The champion of the 22-year-old child was the champion and took place No. 1, and previously played with the unseen in the previously polite sport. In 1974, he went to 99-4th, and even among his opponents, he said, “It will continue to win over the years.”
A few years ago, I spoke about the same match on the claim of Ashe’s post-match match. He was probably not as he thought at the way that Arthur was thinking.
13. Shamuel writes from my email:
A great “first service” is like a great fastball. If all this and everything you hit, you won’t last long. If someone really approaches, it would be interesting to see what will happen if he is approaching and at the end of the old thinking in terms of two speeds and services.
Me always For tennis-baseball comparisons here. I think there are various reasons why tennis service is about the variety of service:
a. Kids and REC serves consistently for players hard. A barrier for most people is enough.
b. It is difficult to hide even intentions for better players. A pitcher (hidden) can move a finger or two, twist your wrists in a little different way and throw the breaking pitch. In addition to the best servers, mix everything, throw away a different place and / or use a different service movement.
c. There is less value in “offspeed” in the “Offspeed” service. Functions such as a baseball replacement function: This increases the expectations of the inclination and slides on top. This means you can swing and a miss or a weak connection. However, the analogy does not hold in tennis, because the missiles are forgiving more than baseball bats. Escape the sweet point according to part of an inch and you can still get the ball back to the game again. And then, if offspeed serves that Well hidden, it’s just a tool. And we know What happens Serves in 2025 for the middle.
Said, pros do Think of such a series of service, say, when the opponent is not pitch arsenal Yu Darvish. The action of placement by a wider target. The best servers-thinking federer or BARTY-BARTY (B) and (C) and (c) and many things they want.
I suspect that the next bigger shift in the service strategy will be different: Risk levels. Mathematics does not recommend two first services, but players should receive more chances for the second service and offer more doubling. I will have more about this in an upcoming article.
14. In my records, Jannik Sinner has a suspension of the US open mixture and the potential key of golden swings or the disappearance of the Saudi masters.
But … you probably know about these things. I can’t work much about any of myself. After a few months, the guilty will be left behind, and we will all win, and we will all forget this so far. The Purist in me, the new exhibition style is open, but would I honestly watch it in any way? (You were?) And when it comes to golden swings: in a calendar and its geographical position, it will continue to fight taking into account the geographical position in a European-dominated sport. The rise of Joao Fonseca, will keep it now.
15. Rock Gene Hackman. Hoosiers It is the best sport movie ever made. Hackman how it’s over Young Frankenstein? TennisOf course:
