[Chris Kobran @ckobran]

What would you rather watch?

[Chris Kobran @ckobran]

I look forward to @SouthPark destroying the travesty that is the #WorldCupDraw — Satan is going to be so jealous of Gianni and Donnie

[Chris Kobran @ckobran]

@hnshah What scales are well defined core values which drive language, which drive actions which drive results

@nickbaumgardner I hope Orji is watching Milroe … this is what it could be

[Chris Kobran @ckobran]

@nickbaumgardner what are us lay people missing with the OL play by Michigan ? continually running out the same 5, when the PassPro is awful, the missed assignments seem to happen all the time, we don’t get consistent push on power runs etc. no changes . why Dr Nick?

[Chris Kobran @ckobran]

@nickbaumgardner yea … makes sense, just surprised we don’t give some of the guys from last year a run who were reliable pinch hitters on the OL. Have to say the coaching staffs halftime adjustments are lacking ..2H is awful

[Chris Kobran @ckobran]

@nickbaumgardner I remember the good old days”beat” days…. Discussing our favorite Always Sunny Episodes, pontificating on the death of “amateur” collegiate athletics … bring it on!

@Rainmaker1973 @michaelmiraflor @NoLayingUp sounds like an argument for equipment rollback (although with different ends) — just a different example of how technology has changed a major sport …

The evolution of tennis through the wear and tear of the grass in the Wimbledon finals

In any image of the finals of the 70s, 80s and 2000s you can see how the grass is very worn both in the baseline and in the volley area. And it is not just that now the gardeners have better technologies for the care of the grass that avoid wear, there is also an explanation of the evolution of tennis at a technical level

Previously on grass the main strategy of tennis players was the serve and volley. Back then, the Wimbledon grass in the volley area barely made it to the final. In recent years the service boxes are pristine on the last day of the tournament and it is the baseline area that is more sand than grass

The explanation is simple: serve and volley are no longer used as before. Wooden rackets were more suitable for this style of play, they were heavier and it was impossible to finish the point from the back of the court, so they tried to win at the net

Wooden rackets stopped being used at the end of the 80s and in the 90s, with the revolution of carbon fiber, graphite and other material rackets, the type of game changed. Since then, the game from the back of the court has become the norm on the circuit. With the evolution of materials and physical preparation, today's tennis players follow a common pattern: they are tall, hit hard from both sides, serve very hard and finish points at the back of the court.
