The takeaway from the crowd-free season opener was how many people come together to make our game great. Same as in life, really. Stay kind. #Wereallinthistogether @UmpireAFL afl.com.au/news/387224/an-um…

MEN’S #AusOpen FINAL
After one week, the GIG Championship Predictor gave @DjokerNole a 41% & @RafaelNadal a 33% chance of winning the title. It's now 60-40 in Novak's favour. Statistically this means it’s a close call.
Today we provide insights highlighting both players' skills.

We can’t wait to see @la_pouille back on court. He has played 4:51h more than @DjokerNole, but both players have done a similar amount of work:
Djokovic - 14956kJ
Pouille - 15230kJ
How much will the players work in today's heat? 🔥🔥

.@RafaelNadal likes to attack with his forehand behind the serve, while @StefTsitsipas stands closer to the baseline as he looks to move forward.

This a very important point well made in this article. Representative design does not require perfectly replicating the training environment. In fact, in most cases you should not be. It is preserving the key elements (information, coupling, etc) in the competitive environment.
