Zverev was just too good at 5-6 in the 4th.  The young gun will learn though.

Fair enough Snoop. We retreat to Chicago for August and September! It helps to live in a relatively recently built (2007) concrete bunker with impact resistent windows.

But you are right, hurricanes suck!

Tien lost focus. 

Don't think he lost focus. Feels like a combination of struggling with the serve and some fatigue

I wonder why there aren't massive movements to fire everyone, and websites doxxing anyone that posted something negative about Alex Pretti, or said he deserved to die?

OMax is having a great year (when he plays).

Played some first half minutes tonight and had 8 points.

Shooting roughly 50% from the floor, 93% from the FT line, and 37% from 3.

Tien needs to increase the pop on his first serve.  He should give Rafa a call.

Good one.  But different pronunciation. 

Tee-en.

Zverev annoys me.

What do you expect? I often lost focus when I was a tien.

I'll shift down one gear to "mostly political." But I admit I don't have data. Doesn't sound like others do, either. We all have lots of anecdotes.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on January 26, 2026, 04:26:14 PMSo you're saying we can't compete with UCONN?

Nope. Never said that.
