Could be done virtually but wouldn't be nearly as good.
That’s exactly it. How he did it, who helped, what helped, did tennis know, did tennis hurt or help - and what now? How has stability changed him as a tennis player?ponchi101 wrote:I would like to read that story.

I might venture to suggest he has gotten sober through AA or some other similar program.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 11:52 pmI would like to read that story.

I don't think the "please" is out of politeness, it's out of desperation. The way you beg a kidnapper to please let you go.dryrunguy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 4:00 pm About Rublev... I didn't think anything of it when I first saw it last night, but when I got up this morning and was watching the dog do her good morning pee, it popped into my head... "No War Please"...
He added the word "please". Most of us would have simply written, "No War." Rublev was going out of his way to be polite.
I'm not knocking his sentiment in any way. I just thought the politeness, the request-like, deferential nature of his expression was curious.
