  5. Aaron Rodgers’ Condemnation Of Anti-Muslim Remarks Shows Real Leadership

    “For right or wrong, millions of kids across the country look up to Rodgers for his ability to throw touchdown passes and scramble in the pocket. But his decision to speak out against bigotry, especially in the wake of a tough defeat, is truly worth lauding. The thrill attached to every great play Rodgers makes as a quarterback is fleeting, whereas the impact of his words Sunday are indelible.”

    hey hawks how are you?! are you in quarantine again?
    chloro and i talk loads through email but not much about tennis…
    just emailed him about how frightened i am getting over the rise of trump. chloro said he read a joke that day that trump was the comments section made human….

    Ah, I thought you were discussing tennis in a mature manner. Part of me thinks that Trump is intentionally trying to make the Republican Party look bad.

    In 1988, Oprah Asked Donald Trump If He’d Ever Run For President. Here’s How He Replied.

    He’s a caricature of himself.

  10. Where’s hawkeye? He used to patrol ( troll??) this site 24/7. Maybe he has become amy’s E-lister? But he will be bored there. He bashes Rafa, no one is annoyed. So no fun. He praises Rafa, amy will ban him. Better Ricky than amy.

  18. I have a question. It seems to me when the women play, they will break each other’s game 4-5 times in a set. The men, you see a lot more tie-breaks. If there is a break, it’s one game. Why the difference?

  19. In general, Vicky, imo, it comes down to confidence and consistency when serving. Not even close to a high level, but I have played tennis for years and related to Elena Dimentieva’s problem when she played: no weapon for a 1st serve with a painfully slow, completely vulnerable 2nd serve. For me, a big part was the ball toss too, like Ana Ivanovic’s toss, mine is all over the place. Being extremely right-handed I’m guessing doesn’t help – can’t seem to control where the toss goes no matter how much I practice, it’s embarrassing.

    Agnieszka Radwanska has improved her serve – her placement, spin, etc… but she will never be a power server like Serena or Petra Kvitova. What makes Aga special is her creative shot selection – she’s a magician on court. Simona Halep and Camila Giorgi compensate for lack of a serve weapon with athleticism, although each of them are capable of serving well, it’s often a weakness on crucial points; very frustrating as a fan.

    Cheers Hawkie! Happy New Year to you too.
