Yup. As I got my MA and BA at Northwestern, I also lived in Evanston for a number of years. We go to Evanston a good amount of times, including that we get take-out from Dave's Italian Kitchen- which has moved a few times.JazzNU wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 1:28 amHaha. 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.nelslus wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 12:59 am
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.
STRANGELY enough- global warming, y'all- for a number of years, over-all, we've gotten pretty reasonable winter weather, even being next to Lake Michigan.

The most fun I've had watching a match (well, much of this match) from Indian Wells this year so far, was, of all things, Giron/Wolf d. Sinner/Sonego. From about the middle of the second set through the third set tiebreaker, all of the players were playing great- just pounding the hell out of the ball all over the place, while showing a lot of great defensive play. I love an excellent doubles match- even if this match was a lot of four players playing great singles tennis.

Yeah, Sonya played a great match. She has to be disappointed she didn't at least push it to a 3rd with how well she was playing. But hopefully she will walk away from this thinking positively. She's always seemed tough on herself, so may take awhile for her to see the positives. If she can keep this form and get good draws, she'll move up the rankings pretty fast. That's assuming she's fully recovered from her injuries. She looked it.

Madison Keys has withdrawn due to not feeling great during her match with Cirstea and also her Blood Pressure was not good when checked on court. She had lost the 1st set 6-1.

Djokovic really broke this boy. He was ascending so well and it's just seeming like maybe we'll hear from him seriously in a few years when he gets his head on right, but it's getting harder to imagine he's going to be in the Alcaraz/Rune camp anytime soon the way it was seeming like he would be for a bit there.

I first discovered Dave's with college friends (some still my friends) when it was on Church Street. I do know that it then moved to 1635 Chicago Ave. At some point, I believe that they posted in social media that they had closed, possibly for good. But, then, it resurrected to 815 Noyes Street. It now has a teeny-weenie dining area. So, we do take-out. I almost always get the lasagna, sometimes chicken parmesan. Plus, there's still that bread....JazzNU wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 4:50 amDave's Italian Kitchen! Taking me back.

I figured, if someone has ever lived in Evanston, that Dave's would be a good memory.

To excel fully again- Carols is going to have to improve his serve, and his way too frequent same serving positions.skatingfan wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 5:39 am Alcaraez's serving position showing Kokkinakis' returns no respect.

I expect Kudermetova to beat Pliskova now but Pliskova remains an inscrutable mystery to me ..
Coco vs Noskova should be fun, but I didn't think that win over Anisimova was anything special ...Anisimova was spewing UFEs from every wing. .Coco won't do that....

Re: ATP M1000 WTA 1000 BNP Paribas Open 3/8 - 3/19 2023
I've got to say some of today's matches look intriguing, especially on the women's side. This tournament so far has had some pretty good tennis to watch.
Today it is once again tough to select an upset from the men's draw, but I will go with Emil Ruusuvuori to upset Alexander Zverev today. I am not really sure why I picked this match other than the fact, I still don't feel that Zverev is 100%.
On the women's side of the draw, I am taking one 18 year old over another. I think the young talented Linda Nosková will upset the other young talented Coco Gauff today. For me, this match is going to be the premiere match up of the day.

Can't say anything because I have yet to watch Noskova play.
Zverev is not 100%, but he is getting better. Ruusuvuori should be a challenge, but a test he could pass.

Most likely by days end I will go to 0-6 with these predictions.
