Yes - Andrei is not officially Danil's father. Although if it was best out of three I am sure Sergey would have been a slam champion instead of a software engineer! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniil's hairline is certainly going the same way as Sergey's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 8 hours ago, Loki said: That could happen in the future, although your mercy rule should go straight in the bin. The epic final between Edberg and Becker would have been stopped. Gaston Gaudio would not be a slam champion. Danil Medvedev's father Andrei would be a Slam champion, and Andre Agassi would still be waiting for that Career Slam. You either play best of five or you don't. We could see the earlier rounds in Men's going to best of three and fourth round onwards being best of five in both men's and women's. The main issue with it is a logistical one rather than any unequal treatment. There would be 112 matches on the women's side in the first three rounds needing extra court time to implement that. Wimbledon is likely the only one to be available to fit it all in, but it would mean putting ,matches on the practice courts. What about best of 4 sets throughout the tournament (men and women) and if it goes to 2-2 you play a champion’s tiebreak? Then the semis and final can have a proper 5th set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Personally I thought it was a shame that they brought a tie break into the fifth set at Wimbledon. ‘Twas a fine concept, till serve bots like Isner came along with his big serve/no return game combo that led to two of his matches taking literal days.Anyway, Norrie on court shortly. He needs to have the game of his life and hope Djokovic has an off day. If both of those things happen at the same time, he has an outside chance… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may as well just make it best if three if you’re doing that. 1 hour ago, Lex said: Personally I thought it was a shame that they brought a tie break into the fifth set at Wimbledon. ‘Twas a fine concept, till serve bots like Isner came along with his big serve/no return game combo that led to two of his matches taking literal days.

If both of those things happen at the same time, he has an outside chance… I agree, I thought they had a good compromise with the tie break at 12-12. Although I do like that all the Slams now end in the same way. The drama in that 5th set in 2019 wouldn’t happen today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 This is going far better than I expected. At least Norrie now has the confidence he can make inroads into Djokovic's server. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
