Writings, stats and musings on tennis 🎾 What does it say about me that I created a TT account during the Musk era the week after a slam?

If the other three are easier to win, why did Nadal not win any of them 15 times?

Petit rappel, Rafael Nadal a remporté 14 fois ce tournoi qui est le plus difficile à remporter sur la planète Irréel

@SlidingBackhand This is a very niche statistical analysis, but yes, I do agree
English
@College88358391 What you’re describing is something that suits certain play styles. Whether or not it’s more difficult depends on the strengths and weaknesses of a player. You cannot describe it as being more difficult overall
English
@SlidingBackhand Clay is “harder” because the conditions make the ball travel slower through the court. Less winners, less aces, longer points, longer match times. it’s objectively harder
English
Could be wrong but gonna assume that Novak telling the camera operator "For god's sake, make some space" happened while TNT was on commercial

@tanya_ghosh15 In what way did it nerf them? Nole has made QF in 19 of the last 20 editions. Clearly not that much ‘harder’ for him. It basically only nerfed them against one player
English
@SlidingBackhand Honestly not a Rafa fan at all, he was my least fav of the big three. But RG makes it impossible for the whole draw to be top notch because it is so freaking hard!! Ofc he was a natural but the fact that clay repeatedly nerfed Roger & Nole only won 3 is just proof..

@Adridri32 @tennisabstract Yes good shout. Tsitsipas was considered the most likely player on either side to make the final because of the lopsided draw, but lost to Rune. By the R16/QF stage, the four biggest favourites were all on the top half.
English
@SlidingBackhand @tennisabstract Maybe 2022 at RG there was literally everyone on one single side (Nadal, Djokovic, Alcaraz), Ruud was the finalist on the other side (and old cilic was the semi finalist against ruud if I remember it well) , but with no huge references at that time

So, um, the forecast has shifted a bit.
31.7% Zverev
11.2% Jodar (!!!!!!)
10.9% Novak
9.3% Casper
5.6% F.Cerundolo
4.2% Darderi
3.0% Rublev
3.0% FAA
2.8% Tsitsipas (who!?)

Funny to me that the interviewer assumes the CL final will kick off at 15 past the hour, since that's basically the norm with start times for tennis and all the American sports.

17yo French phenom Moise Kouame was STRESSED about potentially missing his @PSG_inside squad in the Champions League Final on Saturday 😭 #RolandGarros

Was wondering even during the match if there is some slam related anxiety he feels which is contributing to these health issues he's having at the majors. 2024 Wimbledon against Medvedev he had dizziness and it wasn't especially hot conditions.

Sinner says he woke up not feeling great, and was more affected by low energy than the non-crazy midday heat. “It was warm, but it was OK. It’s not like I was dying because of the heat.” He’s played and won a ton this spring. “Now I need, really, some time off.” #RolandGarros
English
Normal circumstances you would expect Zverev to relatively cruise to the semis from here. Don't think anyone expects it now

This is just like the 2020 USO. Everyone in the draw suddenly knows this is the chance. Djokovic the only former major champ remaining. Expect the nerves to be off the charts in these matches. The tennis in New York that year was some of the ugliest you’ll see. Pressure is on.
