agarawu23:
so many disgusting things these food sellers do back doors just to make money and customers.

So Chicken Republic their marketing strategy of Refuel that is a sellout are using diabolic means too?

Inasmuch I don't dispel the idea that people are wicked but it can't be all encompassing.

greatdave:
Should be topping the list!

Is this were Oluomo buys his amala from? I once heard that rumour but find it hard believe to though.

iamclime:
Amala Extra (old Faculty of Social Science, Eco side) and Amala Joint (AJ), Amala at Staff Club, all inside LASU. Saving lives and CGPAs for decades.
Then you come to Boiling Pot, beside Beach Town, Badagry.
There's also this great Amala joint behind the Orthopedic Hospital, Igbobi. Oh, those days when men were boys!

Awò LASU of life. I bow for the amala there. The egufe is something else. We went there for a project and the senior staff took us for a treat. We even played table tennis before we left.

I hail LASU men. Una strong oOo.

OkaNaUbe:
Who is your favourite in Kwara?


Iya Abdulrasaq?_Na joke o.

There's this joint along Tanke, Ilorin. The name has escaped my memory. Kai!

Most Nigerians are greedy. How can Skibii be eating his plate of Amala and be eyeballing KCee's own? Na wa oOo.

*Iya Sikiru - Oye, Mushin

Hot Amala wey sure die with green ewedu laced with peppered stew (*licks lips with tongue*).

Rafa is d real G.O.A.T

You need to come with facts to back that up. He is not the only one. The writer proved that each has his own record to prove he is a GOAT.

kellidoo:
Commitment and consistency

You are correct but also note that most of the young ones have been playing for some time. It's mainly about changing the mentality when facing the trio.

Obi1kenobi:
No chance for Osaka here. Her game isn't suited for the Roland Garros dirt. Serena has next to no match practice. Sure, that hasn't stopped her winning in the past, but at the age of 37, she can't just turn up and win.
Favorites for me in order are Halep, Bertens, Pliskova and Kvitova.
Dark horses who can upset the balance are Yastremska (who is playing really well), Martic and Sakkari.

Yastremska out. These young ones are not turning up at all.

Tennis has three G.O.A.T.s now. It's weird and awesome

Roger Federer has the most grand slam wins of all time. He has the most ATP tournament victories of all time. He is commonly recognized as the greatest player to ever live. He is the G.O.A.T.

Rafael Nadal has the second-most grand slam wins of all time. He has the best career winning percentage of any player except Bjorn Borg. He has a winning record against Roger Federer, who is considered the greatest player of all time. He is the greatest clay court player in history by a wide margin. He has a great chance to eclipse Federer's grand slam win total just by winning French Opens until he's 36. He is the G.O.A.T.

Novak Djokovic has the third-most grand slam wins of all time. He has a better winning percentage than Roger Federer, and a winning head-to-head record against both Federer and Nadal. At his peak, it would be crazy to argue that he wasn't simply better than both players. He had the single greatest tennis season of all time. Now that he's back in winning form, it is not at all crazy to think he will make a run at Federer's grand slam mark (he need six more to tie). He is the G.O.A.T.

If you're a big tennis fan, or even just a casual observer, you will disagree vehemently with one or more of the preceding paragraphs. However, you will have to concede that there is an argument to be made in each case, and even that reality is pretty stunning. Usually when we have the G.O.A.T. argument, we're talking about players from a different era, i.e. Ruth v. Bonds or LeBron v. Jordan. In this case, we have three contemporaries who have distinguished themselves, as of last night, as the three greatest players in the sport's history. And it's not at all clear which of them is the greatest.

Roger Federer is the greatest of all time, but also he's not as good as Nadal or Djokovic.

How does that make sense, you ask? It doesn't! It doesn't, but it's also completely true. He's an unbelievable champion the likes of which the sport has never seen before and may never see again, but at the peak of his powers, he wasn't as good as his two main rivals—as the record shows.

In fact, the really crazy part about this triumvirate is that the weaker the resume, the stronger the player. If I needed one guy to win one match while playing at his highest historical level, it would be Djokovic. And he's the least decorated of the three, though of course that could change (and if not for his injuries and personal woes, I have a feeling he'd be really close to 20 slams already).

If you had to express this as a mathematical formula, it would look something like A>B, B>C, C>A. It's not rational, and it seems to go against the laws of physics, but here we are: One sport, one era, three goats.

The Worst Generation in Sports History: The Young Dudes of Tennis

I wrote a book about a rising generation of golfers wrenching the game from the grasp of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and the other leading lights of that generation, and while the premise has played out as predicted, it's no more than you'd expect. Time passes, seasons change, what is young must become old. Greatness gets replaced. It's a cycle as old as history.

And yet, in men's tennis, a whole generation of players has abdicated their place in the rotation. We have just completed a second straight year in which every grand slam champion was named Federer, Djokovic, or Nadal. But it goes deeper than that—did you realize that the youngest living man to win a grand slam championship is Juan Martin Del Potro, and that he was born on Sept. 23, 1988.

Do you realize that only two men born after 1990 has even made a grand slam final? (Milos Raonic and Dominic Thiem.)

It's hard to find a historical parallel. Obviously there's no analogue in team sports, where talent replenishes and youth and age will always co-exist to some degree. In women's tennis, the youngsters are thriving, as we saw at the U.S. Open the past two years with Sloane Stephens and Noami Osaka. The same is true in men's and women's golf. And in men's tennis, players like Nadal and Federer and Djokovic were all winning slams at extremely young ages (Nadal won before turning 20, the others shortly after).

Of course, the real debate is whether the young generation in men's tennis is uniquely poor, or whether they're the victims of the ungodly, historical dominance of the three goats.

The answer, I think, is a combination of factors. Yes, obviously those three men throw some long shadows, but the best players of the next generation seem uniquely susceptible to failure in big moments. Nick Kyrgios, maybe the most talented of the bunch, is a renowned head case. Sacha Zverev can't translate his ability to the grand slams. Dominic Thiem has had the most success, and appears the closest to a break-through, but has unfortunately had to face Nadal on his best surface. Others, like Andrey Rublev and Denis Shapovalov and Francis Tiafoe, are unfinished products who are years away from grand slam breakthroughs. Which seems normal, until you remember that at their age, the current kings of the sport were already winning slams.

We may be witnessing a situation in which greatness skips a generation. By the time Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic are done with the sport, the mantle of grand slam champions may pass, in large part, to a group of players even younger than the ones fighting for relevance today. If that's the case, we can call the current class the Unfortunate Generation—not good enough, not lucky enough, and historically cursed.

Maybe I'll do a thread on this but let me first post this article from the Internet on the 3 greatest tennis players.

CANT THEY USE oxygen to climb

They do but oxygen is for breathing. What of other associated risks apart from breathing?

Seun:
I just subscribed to WTA TV in a hurry only to discover that it doesn't not cover the French Open or other grand slams. How can one watch live?

Update: she won in the end. 0 - 6, 7 - 6, 6 - 1. Very similar to Serena's first match. I guess Naomi's stamina is one of her key strengths.

You are correct on this.

On Twitter, someone said something about Naomi: when she applauds her opponent, know that you are in trouble already. She has this calm demeanor rarely found in tennis players.

GraciasMagisco:
Q: Come and serve her??


Ans: serve her beer mercy.��

Addendum: Wé.

GeneralPula:

nicepoker101:
Whenever the boys get paired up with the big 3 guys. I feel that they just admit loosing the game when they haven't played yet.

I'm telling. It really gets me annoyed.

Johnny19:
Kindly name the useful threads let us see

You don't need to dignify such ones with an answer.

Drabrah:
Chop knuckle.
We're in same team.
Meanwhile, I think Venus shud jst retire already. Age's telling on her.

Two of you are definitely in a wrong/losing team.

Fed will lose either in the QF or SF. Serena can't pitch this one but I wish she could to match that record she has been aiming for. I like people breaking or matching records.

fredoooooo:
We dey here ....

Men .. Rafa , Fed , Novak , Tsitsipas, Thiem
Women .. Serena, Osaka, Halep , Kvitova , Bertens

And you forgot to mention Ostapenko right?

nicepoker101:
The inconsistent wing of tennis The dude above is confused.

I'm telling you. So inconsistent. The only gross I have with the male arm of tennis is the boys that are not giving the top 3 guys a run for their money.

frankyychiji:
Oga it's more than possible. When I was single, I once dated a guy that as soon as the tip of his penis touched the wetness of my cucci at the entrance, e don release. I used to feel sorry for him.

How possible for a guy to last only 45 secs? 45 secs only?

NOT possible.

Why are you scared of Lagos security issue? You commit? This your assertion can easily scare a potential away.

Megabig:

Bros no matter how much you want to sensitize people on tattoo, like SageMK said, it doesn't leave a good first impression.
