@OnTheRight155 I am not trying to mock what you said. I speak German, heard Zverev in a German interview and report. In Germany this was quite the case. Zverev did claim he was exonerated, however the case was dismissed, so not concluded, since a settlement was reached ahead of any verdict.
@AmyLundyDahl And 90's matches. The tie break was a good thing. Most people didn't agree at the time. My thinking goes more in the direction, have best of 5, have 6-4 matches, but play the set till 5-5. Play the breaker there. I think that would be an acceptable compromise.
@AmyLundyDahl I like all the points you wrote. I also don't want best of 5 to change. What I know is, till 1970 they had no tie breaks. It was insane that matches had score of 19-17, 22-22, 6-4, 8-6. That would not fly today. What I see is, today's matches are generally longer compared to 80's
@AmyLundyDahl@usopen There are people who find this "normal". I find it very weird for an introvert - to revert to an uncontrollable extrovert. Makes 0 sense to me. Unless she's an excentric introvert π
@AmyLundyDahl At the end of the 3rd I thought Bublik might pull it off, he looked fine. Paul was moving well, but his face was so red, I was worried for him. In the end Paul was the stronger one, but that handshake at the end, one can't hate Bublik for long, the guy is really one of a kind
@Gill_Gross Becker gave his wildcard to Pete Sampras in the 1998 Basel Event. Sampras decided he wanted to play to secure the world number 1 spot, he needed the matches. Sampras won that tournament in 1998 π
@nadalprop_ Not to be contrarian or anything like that. I know the women's game is a different thing, just a fun fact, if I remember correctly Evert has a 13 year streak.
