Members Faulkner Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 I think it’s an attempt at a depth metric for each country. I don’t think it’s *that* useful in theory (one country could have five players in the top 40 and then their No. 6 is #185 and No. 7 is #587), but it does sort of line up with which countries usually have the most options in, say, Davis Cup, should top players decide not to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 If only they gave a fig about Davis Cup, amirite? They were raving about doubles specialist Nichole Melichar in their Fed Cup coverage yesterday, and she flopped. Just as she flopped when commentators kept raving about her over the summer during her World Team Tennis debut. I continue to be unimpressed by her. At this point, I take everything commentators say with a grain of salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 Totally. Seems people are much more invested in the (not even) glorified exhibition that is Laver Cup these days, as expensive as it is. But DC could have been really fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 WTF! What happened? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 Don't know. Everyone is wondering what happened. Why she would fire him and call him just a hitting partner after winning the Aussie Open. Lindsay Davenport thought something was up when she just called him a hitting partner and praised everyone else but him after her final win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 Uh, well, I wasn't expecting to hear this news. Is it a money related issue? Or job title/duties? This has to be the most unexpected coaching announcement that I've heard in quite some time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 Sascha will certainly be in demand as a coach. But I hope nothing foul went down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 Time for Madison or Sloane to start dialing fast!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 What may have worked for NO, may not work for others. Remember, he's been passed around like a new prison inmate so you have to give NO her props. I think she will do just fine. I hope no one wastes their time on Madison! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 He has an enticing resume for someone who might be struggling. I just wonder when Muguruza and Sumyk will tire of each other, given Garbiñe’s piss-poor results as of late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 Mugu and Sam seem to feed off of their disfunction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 11, 2019 Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 Has Sascha only worked with the women's tour? I'd love to see him work with either Tsitsipas, Thiem or Grigor.......Grigor is the one in need.....looked like Andre was ready to bolt after his loss in Australia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
