So Toni toughened Rafa up and someone avoided Rafa hating his guts. So it worked. And now he things the players are too coddled and too soft mentally.

Rafa was just a one in a million player IMO. And well suited to his circumstances.
Maybe Rafa wouldn't have had so many injury issues if learned to listen to his body when he was younger than than ignoring physical issues in the name of mental toughness.

Maybe they are listening. And it may be only you, Stan (and Taylor).
It seems to me that this is the same as last year's USO ball issue with the women. Badosa complained that they were using the regular ball, and should be using the heavy duty. This year, somebody complained about using the heavy duty.
Can't please everybody.

Casper Ruud said he's fine with different balls. He thinks the variety gives different players a chance week to week, like court speed.

I thought it was Iga who complained.

This year. Vondrousova complained about using the HD balls. Can't recall about when was it that Iga complained (and about which ball).

I thought we had a thread about tennis equipment and racquets but I couldn't find it.

We do. If you feel like moving this there:

Interesting data. Gone are the days of Borg (80 Lbs), Pete (80 lbs), Lendl (72.5).
I used to string my racquets at 62. What a fool.
