Re: WTA Tour/Non-India Fed Cup
Only knowing what I have seen, read and heard in the media; I think Osaka was in the wrong. The tournaments were right to throw the book at her. Otherwise it would not have been fair to the other players and it would have set a bad precedent. Problem is that in this hyper sensitive world where every...

Re: WTA Tour/Non-India Fed Cup
Atithee, I get the whole prima donna thing. And it appears immature, arrogant and unprofessional for Osaka to announce her decision on Twitter. Even in this day and age the best approach to solving important matters is to talk not type. Then again I don't know if that had already happened before Osa...

Re: ATP Tennis/Non-India Davis Cup
So who do we think will go deep at this year's Wimbledon? Tsitsipas? Berretini? Medvedev? Auger Alliasime? Shapovalov? Rublev? Korda?

Re: WTA Tour/Non-India Fed Cup
I don't know the Grand Slam tournament rules well. Hence these questions. 1) If the only penalty in the contract for skipping press conferences was a fine, why couldn't the FO simply follow the rules? 2) Was their threat to suspend Osaka a rule that they made up on the fly outside of the contract ju...

Re: ATP Tennis/Non-India Davis Cup
Nadal has pulled out of Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics. Can’t say that I am surprised. Looks like he figured the risk to reward ratio was too high. The tour schedule is all a bowl of tangled cold spaghetti. Indian Wells is in the Fall, after the USO, if I’m not mistaken. This year’s Wimbledon is m...

Re: Coronavirus SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19)
Basically, his compilation of numbers from multiple sources for the 4 states are pointing to something closer to what JIC was thinking (around 8 to 14 times the deaths) than what I was thinking (4 to 7 times). And some populous states like MP may have 30 times the deaths and all that. It is hard to...

Re: Coronavirus SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19)
OK, I'm going to go out on a very flimsy limb and provide a prediction for daily new cases this week and the next 2 weeks, and then a longer term prediction. This week we will end up averaging 56K new cases per day -- yesterday was about 62K new cases, so to get to the weekly avg. of 56K daily new c...

Re: ATP Tennis/Non-India Davis Cup
Even Andy Murray (and that’s not an Indian “even”) has got into the GOAT commentary. As he says, each of them has a different claim… but let’s hold the debate until all of them are done with their careers. Meanwhile, just enjoy their tennis. https://www.tennisworldusa.org/tennis/news/Andy_Murray/989...

011). If you want to use dominance over peers as a criterion, then Esther Vergeer is the hands down GOAT - not Serena Williams or Roger Federer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther_Vergeer I didn’t bother looking because I think you made this point before. It’s the wheelchair lady, right? Ok. It...

Re: ATP Tennis/Non-India Davis Cup
Definitely cannot be forgotten that Federer during his reign at the top was a lot more dominant - until Nadal and Djokovic showed up to challenge him - than Nadal or Djokovic have been. Djokovic has won 15 out 37 slams since 2011, compared 10 by Rafa, 4 by Federer, 3 by Murray, 3 by Wawrinka and 1 b...

Re: Coronavirus SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19)
I was only projecting what the reported positive cases might have been if India had had even the test penetration of the average of the 10 worst affected countries - let alone the most tested countries. I figured that using the average is more reasonable than using the most tested countries as a bas...

Re: Coronavirus SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19)
You used tests per million as the basis of the analysis, but that is not a correct assumption at all, in my opinion. So what IS the correct way to compare test penetration across countries? Cuz you were comparing India's testing regime to those of advanced countries. How were you doing that? (Just ...
