Roger Federer was asked why the one-handed backhand is dissappearing from tennis. Starts by saying “I don’t know” then gives an incredible four-part answer: ▫️Modern coaches grew up playing two-handed backhand and passed it down to students. ▫️One-handed backhands take a lot of time to perfect control and coaches/players...

Learning Physically Simulated Tennis Skills from Broadcast Videos demonstrate that system produces controllers for physically-simulated tennis players that can hit the incoming ball to target positions accurately using a diverse array of strokes (serves, forehands, and backhands), spins (topspins and slices), and playing styles (one/two-handed backhands, left/right-handed play). Overall, system can synthesize two physically simulated characters playing extended tennis rallies with simulated racket and ball dynamics paper: project page:

Denis Shapovalov on State of the One-Handed Backhand on Tour “In a way it’s a strength because you can definitely generate more power, can get sharper angles, and be more flashy/creative with a one-handed backhand. But, in today’s game it’s very much heading towards the way of having a solid two-handed backhand and generating with the forehand. The game is so quick today, it helps to have that extra arm on the backhand. That’s why it’s so much more rare to see guys that have one-handed backhands….I blame Roger Federer, I grew up watching him and wanted to play like him so that’s def a big reason why I have a one-hander” 😅

“All three are incredible players, but Roger is the most spectacular one to watch play. If you compare these three monsters from a technical point of view, you realize that Federer is pure tennis.” - Richard Gasquet The Big Three weren’t built the same. Nadal conquered with relentless baseline aggression. Djokovic dominated with elite counterpunching. But Federer embraced the entire court, blending baseline play, net rushing, slice and serve-and-volley into one complete game, making him the ultimate all-court master.

I am so fortunate to still play tennis at my age. But there sure is a lot of (completely worth it) prep work involved! Here's some background on my pre-tennis routine from this video: 1. Put on two braces: one on each knee 2. Switch to my tennis glasses, and l always carry a backup pair with me, just in case. One pair is a throwback to my favorite pair from the 1970s 3. Wear gloves, both to protect my hands from sun, and also to help with carpal tunnel 4. Use exercise bands to warm up shoulders, triceps, and biceps for forehands/ backhands. 60 reps for each 5. Perform 20 squats + stretching. And an important tip: Watch the ball all the way to the contact point. At the pro level, 50% of balls are missed because of not watching the ball all the way to the contact point. At the rec level, it's 90%. Get out there and play!

Carlos Alcaraz was asked if he feels a responsibility as the world #1 to be an ambassador for the good of tennis the way Federer, Nadal, & Djokovic did before him “As the world #1 and one of the biggest names in tennis, do you feel a responsibility to be an ambassador for the sport? To grow it in the way Federer, Nadal, & Djokovic did before you…” Carlos: “Not really. I don’t think about it, being a good ambassador for tennis. But obviously at the same time the way I play, I just try to entertain the people, trying to engage people to watch more tennis. A part of that is.. I’m not thinking that I have to be the best ambassador possible to tennis. It’s just stepping on the court, I’m doing what I love to do. Just playing tennis. That is the best way I can be a good ambassador. It’s about loving what you’re doing and enjoy every single second you step on the court. I think that’s it. That’s all that’s in my mind.” (via Australian Open Press)

Elden Ring: Nightreign | Gameplay Overview Releasing exactly two weeks from today. ▫️ The overall structure of the map will not change from run to run - this includes Sites of Grace, cave entrances, and major geographical features. ▫️ Points of interest, rewards, bosses, and mini-bosses will be randomized each run however. ▫️ World Events can take place at the start of your run. This will affect the map or your next run in some way. ▫️ One example is 'Shifting Earth: Crater' which transforms the northern part of the map into a giant volcano pit. ▫️ Enemies in these areas are more challenging but you should always try to explore them. ▫️ IGN: "Exploring the crater took us pretty much the entire second day, but when we did eventually make it all the way to the bottom, we beat a boss that granted us an Epic rarity reward by itself [...] but then also the Unique reward of upgrading any weapon in your arsenal to Max Level for free." ▫️ If you don't want to play with the assigned World Event, you can reset it by sleeping at the Roundtable Hold. ▫️ Random Events can also occur during your run occasionally - similar to the Margit invasion in the Network Test. ▫️ More random events - A giant tornado can appear on the map. Upon reaching it, you're invaded by a group of challenging NPCs. A mysterious boss can also appear that attacks from miles away, with each hit lowering your level. ▫️ Eight Nightfarers/classes at launch. Each one has unique weapons, abilities, and Ultimate Arts. ▫️ Up to 3-player co-op with matchmaking. If a teammate goes down, simply attack their body to get them up. Nightfarers with ranged weapons are particularly useful for this. ▫️ Sadly there will be no crossplay or cross-progression. ▫️ Releasing May 30th on PS5, Xbox, PC, and last gen for $40. #ELDENRING #ELDENRINGNIGHTREIN

Novak Djokovic was asked about why American men don’t dominate tennis anymore: “I don’t think you’re lacking players… it’s just, maybe at the moment, you don’t have someone that would take it to the next step and play for Grand Slams and be top player of the world. But that could change very quickly. Women’s tennis is doing very well currently with American players.” “I think it’s not a big issue, it’s a matter of time.” (via Australian Open Press)

Andy Weir describing how he wrote The Martian and film got made is very entertaining. He said, “I wanted to make sure dorks like me would enjoy it, so made it as scientifically accurate as possible” Here the play-by-play: ▫️started writing full time in 1999 after getting fired from AOL (which had just merged with Netscape) ▫️he was a programmer and had a ton of stock options…because he was fired, had 6 months to excercise them and sold at AOL’s peak before bubble popped ▫️spent 3 years on book ideas that got “no traction” (and no agent wanted to sign him) ▫️went back to work as software engineer and wrote online as a hobby (webcomics, short stories, serials) ▫️The Martian was one of three serials he was working on 2009 (other one was about alien invading earth, another about a mermaid in 19th century New England) ▫️sent stories to a mailing list of 3,000 readers he had built up over a decade ▫️took 3 years to write The Martian, “posting a chapter at a time [every] 2 months” or so ▫️ “spent more time researching than writing, because researching was more fun than writing” (very relatable) ▫️readers corrected him along the way and when he was done, a bunch of them asked if he could make a Kindle version because reading it on his website sucked ▫️Weir didn’t want to charge because was making solid living as programmer…but Kindle has minimum of $0.99 ▫️all his fans started buying the Kindle book and leaving positive reviews ▫️this “sales spike” pushed book up charts and hit bestseller lists and just snowballed after that on Amazon ▫️within a short span, major book publisher reached out…then Matt Damon expressed interest on a film project…then Ridley Scott threw his hat in the ring ▫️Weir negotiated these deals while “debugging code” on his day job Described the process as “one of those things where everything just snuck up, bit by bit” before boooooooooom!! Film came out in 2015: made $630m on $105m budget (and Project Hail Mary might pass that now). *** Link to vid (2017):
