Members ChitHappens Posted January 24, 2022 Members Share Posted January 24, 2022 I was confused as well. When did we go to super tie break if a full final set was played? Did this begin to avoid the up by 2 games final set? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 24, 2022 Members Share Posted January 24, 2022 A couple years ago, I seem to remember tournaments proposing changes happening with the majors, except as is usually the case, each major tournament set their own policy as to when the tiebreak set would kick in. It was tested in doubles first, I think, before some tournaments adopted it in singles matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fevuh Posted January 25, 2022 Members Share Posted January 25, 2022 Wow - so I was just seeing the post about Medvedev saying the match was boring or that he was bored, then later apologizing for it. I just don't like the way he looks, I'll be honest. Said that in another post. Kinda snakey, sneakin', and generally a di*k wad lookin' type. So I am awful...I'm waiting for him to get his as* kicked and my twitter account is ready. For an (@) at, to Martina and Chris. And tweet to him. "Hope you weren't bored at least." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted January 25, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted January 25, 2022 I didn’t see the match, just some of the highlights……Shapo needs to find a way to control his emotions. Even if he may or may not be right with the rules, you can’t let that get to you. The skill is there but his mental toughness isn’t there right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fevuh Posted January 26, 2022 Members Share Posted January 26, 2022 Australian Open: Peng Shuai T-shirt ban reversed after outcry (yahoo.com) Seriously. Not to compromise the safety and comfort of the fans...??? A damned t-shirt?? Tennis Australia is totally *ucked up. I remember when there was a lot of talk about removing its Slam status and giving it to another tournament - after this year's messes - I know there was a lot of talk on Tennis Channel or ESPN about the strides the AO has made in facilities and prize money, etc. in recent years...which made me say 'damn how bad was it down under?' I always thought of it as the least of the 4 slams, and I see now no wonder they tossed around the idea of giving a slam to another tournament. I remember hearing once the Italian Open wanted it or something - and someone told me Indian Wells or Miami was really high on the list. This story just makes me angry, I don't know what else to say. In the words of the football show, "C'MON MAN!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 26, 2022 Members Share Posted January 26, 2022 One day, people will have to fully realize what it must have taken for the Williams Sisters to succeed in a sport like tennis and how truly remarkable that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted January 26, 2022 Members Share Posted January 26, 2022 Which makes me think that Novak would have been booed. Most people in Melbourne have been doing the right thing during lockdowns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
