Bad for the Game



Dear Nick Krygios:

Please don't ruin what's left of my tennis watching years.  Yes.  You have amazing shots and a killer serve.  Just the kind of firepower that makes tennis so compelling.  Yes.  Tennis is the game where you are out there all alone with every tic on display.  That would, and has, unnerved the best. Yes. I'm trying to reach you.

I've made peace with the inevitable departure of Federer, Djokovic, Nadal and both Williams. When time decides their fate, I'm ready to welcome the next crop of winners. But when you aimed your 100+mph forehand straight at Nadal's chest, the crowd and I screamed in horror.  Is this what time has brought us?  No!

Nadal stayed nimble and classy.  He was able to contain his fury enough to win.
Where talent lands is a mystery.  It is always a seed.  Only a seed.

    Part of our present dilemma is the failure of prominent people (and many of those who esteem them) to recognize the corrosive effect of poor modeling. Confucian thought puts a very strong emphasis on the need for this if a society and its people are to be well functioning and happy.

    You'll also quickly realize the importance that table position has when learning how to play poker online. For example, you'll always be able to make more informed poker decisions when you're one of the last players in the betting round because you've been able to view the actions of the previous players. situs bandarq
