@danbrusca It gets lost in the shuffle how much more US-centric Twitter got post-Musk. For everyone outside the US the algorithm is so much worse now.

@TFFootball Will goals, starting XI, monthly points be added to super leagues? They help for private leagues with special rules, eg. no transfers.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@TFFootball Please increase Haaland price closer to 9m (like 8.8m or something). It just becomes a 10 man game if he stays the same price as last year.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@stokaljona Yes, and there seems to be a myth he got it right with subs the rest of the tournament. He got it wrong vs Norway, just was bailed out by a goalkeeper clanger.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@stokaljona The crazy part is you could tell the sub had made it worse pretty much immediately, but he still did nothing, didn't even change it at 1-1, just waiting to get beat.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@scambers73 What surprises me more is they don't realise the slippery slope. There's very few legitimate draws in tennis. The same principle will see a super tour cutting most the players out.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

Do they not realise the next step will be what value do the likes of Opelka bring to the ATP Tour...

[Jon Wertheim @jon_wertheim]

Opelka from the top rope…. in fairness, he’s hardly the only singles player who feels this way. Worth remembering that it’s not as though that the doubles players’ 20% revenue split goes away. It just transfers to the singles players….

@why_sense Day 1, I don't know the answer to the 2nd q.

[Aaron @AaronH02056]

If the answer is not Before Any Match Has Started, the queue is a failure

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@juanignacio_ac No it isn't. They would still cost £30. It's not the US, you cannot resell Wimbledon tickets, touting is non-existent. During covid all tickets were sold online, there was no such problems.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@staceaspinas @pavyg @Wimbledon Except we know that's not true, because it worked without any of that happening during covid when ticketing moved online. You can't resell Wimbledon tickets.

@SCFCJosh96 Going into coalition with Reform is a massive trap for the Tories.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@SCFCJosh96 It's cos he appeals to no-one. All politicians are disliked by some part of the electorate, but it's normally weighed against some support somewhere, Starmer supporters are non-existent. The constant trying to both sides everything doesn't work in politics.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@stokaljona Not like this government have been doing well optics wise from the beginning is it. Starmer will go in 2026 I think, but tbh I don't see who has the answers from Labour or elsewhere.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@stokaljona Short-termism, like the entire Budget. The whole thing is short-term sticking plasters that don't address the actual issue, that without growth the economy is doomed. Labour aren't even talking about growth anymore, let and out any serious policies for it.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@stokaljona And there was me thinking this was an easy win, as everyone would support it :).

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@kostekcanu I mean it's just looking at it from such an elitist pov, weeks with no tennis, what about anyone that isn't in the top 10 then? Also ignores the local impact of a number of these events. Will never happen anyway.

[Oliver @Razor_Oz]

@i_am_peterpan_ I mean it's not that surprising given Federer was getting about $1m for his first slam wins, and these guys now getting $5m.
