I think Drop shot moved to Barcelona, but he has very much been absent from the board.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 1:47 pm ...
I'm going to Spain next week. I'll keep an eye out for some - or something similar - and bring back a few to share if I can. I don't think anyone on this board lives in Spain, right?

The highest ranking umpire got suspended to 12 moths. The article isn't very specific about the actual cause, but there seems to be some room to read between the lines.

Interesting read, but seems kind of obscure. I read it and it is not clear what the offenses were.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
I just skimmed and it sounded like sexual harassment/inappropriate behavior. I expected to recognize the umpire's name. Not at all...ponchi101 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 3:39 pmIt had not appeared in this site because the news came out this morningdave g wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 3:27 pm I'm surprised that this has not yet appeared on this site. https://currently.att.yahoo.com/sports/ ... 24220.html

“The complaint was that Soeren made inappropriate comments and invitations to an individual,”
It seems like sexual harassment to me.

I ordered from his academy site and got one for my daughter as well.JazzNU wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 5:05 amI haven't tried buying this way, but it is available now if willing to order from something other than the US Nike site.
The Nike site is likely to autocorrect to the US if your browser allows it to recognize the location. Have to look in Incognito and when asked, say it's in GB and shows as being in stock. Nowhere to be found if you look on the regular US site, will get a product no longer available sign still if you go to the site.
https://www.nike.com/gb/t/rafa-winner-t ... DQ9153-010
Also available thru his academy's store, the easiest way it would seem to me to order, doesn't require jumping thru hoops. Only $2 more expensive and if you order 2 (or get something else and checkout with over 50 Euros), shipping is free to the US.

I would take some. Of the ones I don't know for sure, I think I'm close on first row, fourth spot. French?

Re: Tennis Random, Random
I can confidently name 3. Fairly certain I can name a 4th and 5th if allowed 3 chances to guess each. Although for one, I think I can get it on the 1st try, but he looks so young (and honestly, better), it's hard for me to have any faith in getting it on the first try.
I couldn't get to 14 if I was given 100 tries, so older or not, well done Kevin.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Row 1 = the top
Y'all know the top 5 for sure. They have all won at least 1 slam. In row two, there is a very very famous American player. He has won multiple slams. He's just very young in that pic. In row 3 there is an equally famous American player, and he and another row 3 occupant do commentary for ESPN. Yes, there are two French players, on in row 1 and one in row 2. Row 5 has a GS finalist not from the Americas or Europe. Row 2 may have a Grand Slam champ from South America, but I'm not sure. Maybe not. Row 2 also has a European player with an Italian nickname that still gets thrown out every once in a while on ESPN when they reference big guys who move deceptively well.

You definitely know all 5 guys in the top row. They are just a lot younger than what you are used to seeing.JazzNU wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 8:30 pm I can confidently name 3.

Re: Tennis Random, Random
Good hints. There are some names I feel like are here - like Nystrom, Kriek, Pernfors, Mayotte - but I can't figure out who they are. Is Nystrom in the third row, middle, with the blonde mullet? And Mayotte at the end of that row?dmforever wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 9:13 pmYou definitely know all 5 guys in the top row.
