@Tendar Agree with everything, except the political backlash in America.
There is very little reporting on things, and certainly not enough attention on it...
@mattracquet Matt, may I ask if you have the data from Alcaraz's USO 2025 run?
His unreturned rate was 38%+ for all but one match, so I'm curious if that dominance was moreso a case of improved accuracy.

@mattracquet Thanks for sharing this. Very much agree that accuracy, closer to lines, is key.
In the meantime, would it benefit Alcaraz to aim more towards the T (i.e. less body) on second serves? To be less predictable, as only 29% are aimed at the T now...
@Gill_Gross@m_andrews93 Thanks
Wonder if there's some measurement/data to suggest intensity/effort has trended up over time.
Perhaps distance covered at slams? Tried Googling, but not much popped up
@carlosalcarazbr Thanks for sharing
Reminds me of 2024, when Carlos and Jannick played each other in the Beijing finals, then flew together to Shanghai...
They must be sick of each other by now :D
