Yes. And? Was there something unclear about what I wrote?
No not at all.I was just giving a measurement of distance , that is all. Your post was clear as a bell. :D

I mean, LOL, I don't know what Jazz still needs to explain?!?! Here in Chicago, we live on the North side of the city, right next to Lake Michigan. Folks most definitely closer to 75 miles away from us- the South side of Chicago, local suburbs- more often than not have distinctly different weather patterns than we do (especially many of the local suburbs, which tend to get zapped with rough weather more than we do).

So- you know- I'd tend to believe the person who lives in the same areas concerning weather patterns.
His post was perfectly fine, I am not disputing it at all. I was just giving a measurement of distance between the two places. That is all I was doing.

Fritz won as he should have but that was an entertaining match. I'm interested in seeing how well Shelton does this year.

For anyone looking for something to watch right now, surprisingly (shockingly?), Kenin just took Rybakina to a tiebreak in the 1st set (Rybakina won it 8-6).
Kenin is playing inspired tennis for the first time in a long while. And she has the crowd behind her.
No-one knows if it will endure - but so far, it's a close and enjoyable match to watch.

For tomorrow's upsets I will go with Emil Ruusuvuori over Alexander Zverev. One the ladies side I will predict Linda Nosková over Coco Gauff.

Haha. Exactly. I can remember several times when my cousin living on the South Side had barely a dusting and we had like 8-10 inches in Evanston with lake effect snow and he happily called to rub it in. The lake is pretty of course, but yeah, that's a down side, makes a difference in the weather patterns.

Kenin is so confusing. Is she fully healthy? Because she had a great win or two a few weeks ago and then lost unceremoniously to no one. Looked great and competed even better against Sloane. Is doing that again today vs. Lena. So, is she back back? Just needs to find her rhythm again? I feel like we very rarely hear on what her injury progress is so it is hard to know. But maybe she gave an interview this week that makes it clearer? If someone knows, please share here or in the Injury thread.

Musetti is another Shapovalov - tons of very natural talent being wasted through a very questionable psychological approach. He has gotten himself close to the top 20 - but, hey - a guy like Mannarino is beatable.

Kenin and Rybakina are into to another tiebreak in the 2nd.

And I'm quite sure that Kenin didn't have to be anywhere near her level from a few years ago to beat Stephens in the first round here, given Sloane's lacklustre performances over most of the past 2 years.
