That is definitively not a swimming pool

Thinking about Davis/BJK Cup and doubles..I am reminded of a story..
The US was playing Romania int he DC finals, and it was time for the doubles team of Stan Smith and Van Dillen to play Nastase and Tiriac.. Arthur Ashe asked Van Dillen what he proposed to do - the answer was 'I will support Stan as best as I can'.. Ashe told him 'No, you are going to take leadership out there and seize the initiative, win the match for us'.. and Van Dillen did just that..

Are you sure? It's blue - water is blue - it must be water, therefore it's a pool.

This took me a minute, as I had gotten my posts confused. I most recently commented re: Ostapenko in a pool and I thought "I KNOW she was in a pool, why would I have said she wasn't "

[Reem Abulleil] Raducanu: Sometimes, I need reminding I'm top 60 and I've played less than 15 events, which is pretty unheard of. I have to pat myself on the back for that. I know I'm a dangerous player. I know no one wants to pull my name in the draw. I take pride in that.

Muchova has played in only 7 tournaments and is in the top 25. This is the player everyone fears, not Raducanu

Agree.
Heck, I like Emma. But I think she is not even the most respected Emma on tour, at the moment.

Depends on what you respect!

The year is done ..interesting that those who began the year in a high note ..also finished as #1, despite some deviations in the middle of the year..

After Alcaraz won Wimbledon I was sure he'd be the player of the year even if not year end #1. Clearly not the case.

Depending on tastes, Carlos' year could be seen as more important than Yannik's.
I don't agree with that but for some people W is so much bigger than anything else that they could say so.
But Yannik's year was excellent indeed.

Jannik beat him in virtually every other category except that and h2h.
