2022 Grass season preview

[Moxie]

Here's an interesting fact: Since the 2021 Wimbledon, the player that beats either Shapovalov or BVDZ in the slam, that player has gone on to reach the final or win the whole slam

2021 Wimbledon: Djokovic beats Shapovalov and wins title
2021 US Open: Medvedev beats BVDZ and wins title
2022 AO: Nadal beats Shapovalov and wins title. Medvedev beats BVDZ and reach the AO Final
2022 RG: Nadal beats BVDZ and wins title.

THAT is bizarre a statistic as anyone has ever come up with, IMHO. You officially have too much time on your hands. lol.

To be fair, I did not realize that statistic until one of my friends showed me in social media.

Also, remember the comparisons that I showed you guys between 2019 US Open and 2022 AO (both Nadal wins)? Now, THAT was bizarre...

Dude, you did NOT win Halle, and I even beat you there and a Queens...what are you smoking?

I strongly suggest you post who were the winners at Halle and Queens, then it might sink in to our friend who actually won

What the Heck. Well don't say I'm not AP the merciful. I will be BACK for vengeance at Mallorca and SW19. Btw is there a new draw challenge

Alcaraz seen on the practice courts wearing an 'elbow brace" though according to his coach JCF it is just a 'slight elbow problem', probably more of preventive measure at this point in time.

Nick keeps himself slim but he doesn't appear to be a gym rat warrior.

That match yesterday was too grueling & serving so much will get you an injury like that! Happened to me at least twice early on in my career!

Nadal crushed Wawrinka

I’m glad he won, but beating the current version of Stan — on grass, no less — isn’t a shock or great accomplishment. If it had been Berrettini or Novak, I would see it differently.

Lets see how he goes against FAA in a few days, though this is a 100% improvement on his previous 2 practice session, he lost to Dimitrov and Majchrzak.
