skinswillwin06 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 https://live.washingtonpost.com/ask-boswell-20180910.html Boswell makes some great points in this chat. I agree with just about everything he said except for the racket break. That was the correct call, there's no judgment required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have a regular guest, he's a credentialed tennis photographer, the Trump supporter from hell...he got me a few things from the Open. I hope these pics post ok. The pic of Del THORtro was taken between the line judge's legs. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 seems like anytime we get 2 of the 3 GOAT's in a match, its a classic Major #16 for Djokovic, 5th Wimbeldon, and 4 out of the last 5 majors overall we are privileged to watch the 3 men with a claim to be the GOAT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 this might be unpopular but Joker is the Goat and not Federer. Something i read totally convinced me to change from Fed to Joker. Fed has 12 titles before Novak started. Novak has all of his titles in the heyday of both Nadal and fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker also had the single greatest season in the history of the sport a couple years back. One of the more amazing individual single season feats in all of sport really. He lost like 2 matches that entire year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people feel that way and I agree. I think Joker is the best player we have seen and definitely the most gifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Once upon a time, Djokovic routinely used to fold when matches got tight. There cant be many athletes who used to crumble in big spots, only to do a complete 180 and dominate tight spots against the best the other 2 best the sport has ever seen. Its remarkable really. He shoehorned his way into history and has arguably surpassed his two rivals in the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Joker might be more physically talented but when you have the longevity Fed has had, he's the GOAT. Its kinda like comparing Randy Moss to Jerry Rice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its kinda like comparing Randy Moss to Jerry Rice. There really is no debate on this one until such time as Djokovic surpasses Nadal in slams. (Cue the 'But he's a clay and hard court specialist and without all the French titles ..... ' Which is as asinine an argument as there is.). Never mind getting close to Roger. Does beg the question why we have this need to constantly say A Particular Guy is better than another? Just relish and appreciate the greatest era in mens tennis there's ever been. Which will be restored to a four-way fight next season as Murray looks like he's finally over the hip issues and pain free. Hail.

skinsmarydu Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Serena going for #24 today! At least we kept the ladies final on this side of the pond. 👍 And that stupid "Man on a Mission" song is stuck in my head. 🤬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 So, this is one of the sports that can come back. Watching Djokovic v. Sasha Zverev now, just watched a really funky game by quarters (most points wins the quarter) and I liked the format (John McEnroe's idea). GO SPORTS!

skinswillwin06 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Glad they are back playing some matches. Not sure why they are packing the stands. Seems like an unsafe money grab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
