Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
If the reason why the top players reach that status is because of the size of the entourage, that will only mean a widening gap at the top.
I am sure not every player can have a 5-member team. By Novak's logic, those players are playing at a disadvantage.

I interviewed Ben for a friend's media podcast. Took place before the AO, fwiw.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
I'm not sure this is journalism but I was on the ATP website and clicked on Hurkacz' name to pull up his page on the site and the picture on the overview page was not Hurkacz but Zverev, the same one as on the Zverev overview page.

A puerile conversation! Which player wouldn't want to do well in the Sunshine double? Beats me that anyone even thinks it is a question...

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
Meanwhile, there is a story about Pegula/Kostyuk and the picture is of Boulter.

Indeed, but Boulter is mentioned all over the article. And you have to admit Boulter is a bit of eye candy.

Yes. After all, we know he is finished. I am just letting Nelslus start the "Carlitos is washed up" topic.
What a silly question.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
Not sure if podcasts factor into journalism, but really enjoyed this episode.
He interviews a golf coach/strategist and it's interesting how much stuff translates. He spends most of time talking about "math" and making optimal decisions.
He discusses something called "scatter pattern" - and how if you hit the same shot 100 times the range it will cover - and how that needs to factor in to where your targets are
