@_markpetchey hey Mark, are you commentating on shapo:zhang?

@MartinSLewis have you noticed a drop in car insurance this year? In 2022 I insured my car for £360; last year it nearly doubled. Now the renewal quote is £200 less!! No change in car/circumstance #ripoff #insurance

At futures they don’t have many lines people anyway. But I think it will be a while before all futures have elc. Challengers will follow the main tour in a few years; so maybe by then they may have addressed the issue of back up lines people. It is a concern though

@Rumba8888 @_markpetchey At any tournament that has elc there is a back up team of lines people ready to step in if needed.

@_markpetchey The issue is that no tech is infallible. If there’s a glitch/system crash etc.. at a futures or challenger, what happens? Even if the event could afford a full time IT person to be onsite all week, it could still take hours to sort & then do umpires call lines?..

Genuinely interested how close tennis is to having elc for all events from the futures up? Because, and I could be wrong but calling lines in Sunderland seems to just have got a whole less appealing if you don’t have the carrot of a Wimbledon date to do it each year. How is there not an immediate exodus of linespeople and perhaps more pertinently, how do you entice anyone into the industry of manually calling lines?

@scambers73 Different string set up; and Novak uses a dampener while Carlos does not. Tension less of an impact on sound

One thing you really notice sitting on court is the difference in the sound the players’ serves are making. Alcaraz is more like a crack, Djokovic more of a dull sound. (String tension may have something to do with it)

@neilhud69 Why not use googles own ppt program in the cloud? Then export it as a windows ppt

Anyone know how you can install Ppt App on an imac that isn't running on 12 and software can't be upgraded to 12 😱 #Apple #technology

@GregRusedski1 @VasekPospisil All pre-Wimbledon grass tournaments use the same Slazenger ball that is used at Wimbledon. I think the same happens in Australia. Don’t think it happens for RG and US. Should be mandatory that all tournaments preceding a GS should use that same ball as that GS.

@VasekPospisil The main issue is having one ball throughout the year with the same felt, pressure and weight. Very easy solution to stop injuries. Same discussion even when I was playing 30 years ago . Nothing changes. Problem is that tournaments have different ball sponsors.

There were discussions a few years back that the ATP/WTA wanted to “slow the game down” to have longer points for fans. The balls have been getting incrementally heavier and surprise surprise, it’s killing our bodies. Almost every player I’ve spoken to.. [1/2]

Day 4, change of surface 🔴🟢🟢 #countycup @Cambslta @EssexLTA @Middlesexlta @tenniswales @NorthantsLTA @tennisscotland Men's div 2 @theavenuetennis @Ashleyneaves @RacquetAvenue @AvenueLTSFC competitions.lta.org.uk/sport/matches.…

Those balls are used at every preceding grass court tournament; even those not in the UK

🇬🇧 @DavisCup ready 🇬🇧 Mark your calendars for September 📌📅

MAD-CHESTER, Group B schedule 👇 (🧵) Tickets for Manchester are on sale to LTA Advantage Members from today and will go on general sale from 31 May. #DavisCup

It’s the details… Happy birthday @carlosalcaraz 🎂🎉 #BabolatFamily

And of course remembering to place the stencil so the ‘fat’ part of the ‘D’ is at the bottom ie not upside down. But also, what if the butt cap is also upside down a la @jamie_murray? Easy, always follow the paint of the racquet.

@scambers73 Nestor was as low as 15/13lbs at the end of his career. Used a gut/poly hybrid

Another one for tennis aficionados: I saw the other day that Adrian Mannarino plays with a string tension of about 11kgs (24lbs). If I did that, I'd hit the ball out of the stadium.....anyone know of any players who played with looser strings than that?

@jgmotorsport @BucksCouncil Go thru small claims court

3rd tyre popped, no doubt a 3rd wheel and 2nd recovery bill in the space of 3 weeks thanks to @BucksCouncil disgraceful roads. Cost me over £1600 in damage and your best solution is to log it and wait 12 weeks for a reply to my 1st claim, let alone 2nd SORT THE POT HOLES!!
