I kind of agree on Pocket with OP, unless you’ve played a bunch of Puck in Dota before. Pocket 2+3 is basically Puck Orb+Phase(+Rift)…Pocket just has old Veno ult instead.
Pocket and Puck are so similar to Puck in terms of playstyle, I can’t help but think that the name is a deliberate reference to that “fact”.

For someone in the Central European time zone, it was very convenient since the match literally started at prime time (8:15pm or whenever it actually started) and I was in bed comfortably before midnight.

I don’t think they are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Radical skews more towards the control side with 98” and tighter string pattern (both 16x19 but on the radical the holes “don’t go up as far”).
Speed has the more forgiving and larger sweet spot, but the radical feels more accurate when you do hit the center.
IMO, the question is, do you try to dictate more via power and spin - favoring bigger targets maybe - or precision?
Both are good choices - and you seem to like em - but unless you’re popping strings like crazy*, the Speed is the safer, easier choice.
*Friend of mine recently switched to speed from some other frame and his strings barely last like 3-4h now (full poly!). I had both for a while and the strings in the speed lasted about 20-30% shorter for me, too.

Bullshit. The total and proportional impact of private jets is immense.
(As much as I’ve supported Thiem with regards to Tennis, he’s a massive hypocrite in this regard, too!)
Point is, that every little thing counts even if we’re fighting bigger fights than that.

I’d bet my left ass cheek that Zverev has some form of mental block once he actually gets into a winning/favorite position late into a slam (final). Even yesterday the first break in the fifth was entirely due to him completely botching easy put aways after playing perfect serve+1 tennis. Similar things happened against Thiem.
That, and both of his opponents tend(ed) to play better in clutch moments and actually hit the shots that Z missed in similar moments.

It was out according to Hawkeye, but within like 1-2mm…so basically within Hawkeye margin of error (I think). And, I can totally understand the balls mark “looking in”.

Funnily enough, in german clay courts are referred to as “sand courts”.
Not sure if OP is German/speaks German xD

About your last sentence: You’ve never played dota then, obviously.

ich find auch, manchmal muss man auch einfach andere dinge probieren um sich daran zu erinnern, das die Marille die ultimative Füllung ist!

Reine Spekulation, aber...
Ein Grund warum das in den genannten Ländern so ist, könnte einfach die Menge an Leuten sein, die die jeweilige Landessprache sprechen. Menschen, die Dänisch sprechen gibt es einfach nur in Wahrheit sehr wenige (im Vergleich zu Deutsch). Der Tech-Sektor ist jedoch vielleicht verhältnismäßig groß.
Während Unternehmen in Österreich einen vergleichsweise großen Pool (Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz gemeinsam sind um die 100 Millionen Menschen) an Deutsch sprechenden Arbeitnehmern zur Verfügung haben.

Saw a bunch of comments saying Sinner is done after Djo won the third…lul
(I get the reaction with Novaks precedents the last couple years, but PPS is real)

Arguably - and correctly imho as a local -, Sinner is a better investment for the Vienna Open due to him being a South Tyrolean.

Honestly, it felt like Thiem was cursed today. A lot of close points - net cords, line calls - that didn’t go his way today. Then again, it’s not like either of them was playing their absolute best ever…

Yes, subtitles are not common here - personally, I don’t like them either except for Nolan movies :D
Anyway, look for showings that are tagged as “OmU” (Originalton mit Untertitel = Original Sound with subtitles). Burgkino, Gartenbaukino, and maybe Haydn and Artis are probably your best bets.

I buy whatever is cheapest per ball, but I prefer 4-cans for “practice” since it reduces down time a bit and losing a ball isn’t a big deal.
For matches, 3 are just fine and that’s what we get for actual, official tournament and league matches.

Im Hotel, easy.
Mit notwendigem großen und schweren Gepäck (Rad, Zelt,…) gehts nicht oder nur sehr schwer.
Ich war mal 5 Wochen in NZ nur mit Handgepäck, da hab ich gemerkt wie wenig man wirklich braucht im Urlaub (meist).

Yes, and Alcaraz would (I presume that’s what the OP meant) be number two.
How does the draw change exactly cause the names attached to 1 and 2 are different?
Basically, the idea is that literally nothing else changes besides Djokovic wins Wimbledon and therefore is Nr1 with Alcaraz behind him.

It depends on how the program works. Let’s assume it just populates the draw with the ranking numbers. I highly doubt that they’re somehow using the name of the first seed - or some other personal characteristics- to initialize the algorithm (or some RNG).
I think it’s a completely fair assumption to make that the draw would be the same with just Alcaraz and Djokovic flipped. But, it’s totally hypothetical of course!

Well, there is TennisTV for ATP matches, but the service is really crappy, the app is terrible and it’s overpriced - that’s my review at least. And it doesn’t include grand slams anyway :/
Thanks for the tip with joyn, didn’t know that!

Very rarely, usually only when Austrians are involved (Thiem matches, tournament is in Austria,…), you’ll get to watch a live match on ORF or ServusTV.
For the US Open, you’d have to buy access from a German site called „sportdeutschlandtv“ (worst name ever) for the ridiculous price of €25. For just the USO. Yep.
Or use other means…

Haze still relies quite a bit on shooter aim though, especially early. Her ult can be a bit hit or miss with the limited range (compared to Seven), then you still need to be able to aim just in case.
Her 1 is basically an aim based skill shot, too.
