THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball

When is an almost six hour match not too long?

When it was Nadal-Djokovic, that’s when.  It’s not the quantity, but the quality.

I was also shocked how little commercial time there was as well.  In that fifth set, it seemed they were resting alot, and each time, I thought they’d cut to commercial, but they didn’t.  Hats off to everyone involved for keeping the pace of the game so tense.

Imagine if they allowed each player’s coach to come on the court, and talk strategy.  The only thing fans care about is the players.  Not the coaches, not the officials, none of that.
