Vienna (500) R1: Luciano Darderi def. Dominic Thiem [WC] 7-6(6), 6-2 Match Stats

📸 ATP/WTA Joint App

D. Thiem fought hard and well, especially when the moments were in his favor, but L. Darderi became more offensive since then as he went after the former's shots at times. Through his return depth and some pace-related adjustments, the Italian shifted the moment steadily, which also helped him nailing the tie-breaker before dominating the second set with his power. This way, even though both players had 5 break points, L. Darderi converted 60% of them compared to D. Thiem's 20%, whose sole conversion came from his solid start to the first set.

Furthermore, L. Darderi appeared sharper on serve thanks to his dominant second-set showing. Landing 63% of his first serves despite D. Thiem's 11 aces, the Italian won 83% of his first serve points, 14% more than the Austrian wild card as he continued to drive the flow from there on par with his groundstrokes. To add, even though the Italian double-faulted twice, he still had the slight edge by winning 4% more of his second serve points than D. Thiem with 58%.

For L. Darderi, his next opponent will be seventh seed Jack Draper, who knocked out wild card Kei Nishikori 7-5, 7-5 in a competitive encounter. This could also be an intriguing test for the former's offensives, considering the latter's aggression and pace that could overwhelm the former to some extent. Balance of power could be important in this match, but who knows what will happen as this match kicks off tomorrow's action!

On the other hand, this marked the end of Dominic Thiem's illustrious career. Broke out further just a decade ago in the exact tournament's qualifying rounds, he went on to win 17 titles while becoming runner-up in 12 more tournaments. Playing 563 matches, he also won 348 of them, with the most memorable title being the 2020 US Open Men's Singles, becoming the first 1990s-born player to win a Grand Slam title, achieving a career-high ranking of 3 as well throughout his career.

Danke, Domi ❤️🇦🇹

just saw someone call charles' career 'common successes' the pole to win ratio agenda is too severe because in no way is 26 poles without a championship winning car common at ALL

every time he wins it's after ten thousand trials and tribulations and his wins this year mean so much more to me than if he had a dominant car. i said it last year and i think so doubly now that he impresses me with every race like he is him and i truly think he is the best.

going into my final week of classes and we always have one last week after the final paper (so the professors have time for grading) where typically the only work we have is one last discussion post.

usually, this post is pretty simple and light (to go easy on us after the final). my ethics class is like “summarize your conclusions from your final paper! :)” and my communications class is like “tell the class about your career goals! :)”

meanwhile, statistics…

Between Marc’s 2015 Cota qualifying and his 2019 Brno qualifying which one do you find more impressive. (Also, what made him such a good qualifier cause if I’m remembering correctly vale and Jorge are tied for number of career poles at 64 or something and Marc has 94 I think, did his riding style just suit fast 1 lap times?)

oh, I'm definitely more of a 2019 brno type of girl. 2015 is a fun bit, great sense of drama with the propped up bike and the sprinting and all that, good job keeping his head under pressure. but fundamentally once he gets to the line in time to do his lap, it's not all that surprising he pops it on pole at one of his specialist circuits. still, cool visuals with the bike buckling under him and everything, got the novelty value going for it. brno 2019 is more fun because it is genuinely just an exceptional performance even by his standards, and the whole session is enjoyable to watch with everyone unsure about what the right tyre call is. when they say it's started raining again!! people taking their umbrellas out while marc is clinging onto that dry line... when he does another lap and goes even faster... idk, I do enjoy a proper good mixed/wet performance anyway, that one was definitely memorable. it's also the session where he pisses off alex rins, prompting rinsy saying that marc doesn't respect other riders, so it gets an automatically boost for me in causing some much-needed drama

as for why he's such a good qualifier - well, you mention the record vs valentino and jorge, but given the respective scopes of their careers I don't think it's quite right to group them together. the tiers basically go casey/marc, then jorge somewhere in the middle, then dani/valentino at the bottom. (also, I have the ghost of jorge lorenzo on my shoulder telling me to set the record straight: he ended his career on 69 poles to valentino's 65.) not to be facetious, but the reason why marc was so good at qualifying is that... well, look, he's just an incredibly gifted rider. he's fast. or so I've heard. you wouldn't really describe him as more of a saturday than a sunday man either - he was just very well-rounded. both marc and casey were very adept at throwing the bike around the circuit whatever the conditions... just kind of that x factor that allowed them to consistently hustle up a fast lap in every situation. if anything, it's valentino who was the outlier here in terms of career achievements vs qualifying prowess - he was the one who was just such an exceptional racer that any slight shortcomings as a qualifier only ever cost him later in his career (where his qualifying did begin to drop off, but that is also an age/format thing). obviously still a very good qualifier by normal standards... it was just never his forte. valentino had a career long preference towards harder tyres (which is partly a height + weight thing in terms of getting heat into the tyres), plus he was generally at his strongest late in races when the grip of the tyres has gone and it was a lot more slippery for everyone. his working process was also a bit more... hm, incremental. languid, shall we say. than marc's and especially casey's, who of course was always the guy who was fast everywhere immediately. the way valentino went about things, he was more prone to pulling some pace out of the bag last minute - plus prioritising race set-up, playing to his strengths and banking on a decent qualifying result to be enough to keep him in the mix. and jorge's somewhere in the middle where he WAS very good at stringing together a fast lap and was also super consistent about putting that thing on the front row - just not casey/marc good - because... well, in this rather potent group of riders, that's roughly where he falls by most metrics

bit more talk about this here, but in terms of actual stats... here's how it shakes out (this is just for premier class starts and is already a little out of date for marc, I'll update some of these spreadsheets once the season's done)

and just for seasons where they were top five in the championship standings, to limit it to the broadly competitive seasons

obviously you still have to apply a little context here - for instance it'd be fair to say that casey had tougher competition on average in qualifying than either marc or valentino. but like. just to give you a broad sense of where they're at

"Now the Oilers take away, Skinner's to centre, hit by Kulikov. Oh! And then a big hit by Gadjovich!" "And they go after him..." "Yeah, action between the benches! Play continues. Luostarinen the feed! Here's Lundell! In front, Mikkola scores! It's Niko Mikkola to tie the game at 4!" "Well, the Oilers were too preoccupied, between the benches there was a Players' Association meeting. And meanwhile the Panthers got control of the puck in the offensive zone and some nifty passing and timely play by Mikkola coming in! Here's the hit on Skinner, and then the Oilers decide, 'Oh! We're gonna go after Gadjovich!' And meantime the Panthers—Luostarinen, Lundell—and he just feathers this puck. Look at Lundell, the backhand and timed perfectly, and Mikkola. As I said Skinner will go down and get that puck over top of him. And we got a tie game." "Lundell, second assist—primary on the last two goals. The Panthers have battled back after Oilers got three [goals] in a row to go up a pair there in the second [period.]"

"Here's a chance. Mikkola scores! Niko Mikkola gets the goal—13:07 left to go in this third period��as he sneaks in and Mikkola has tied it!" "Well, everything is happening in front of the benches and play kinda stopped. A lot of the Oilers get involved, but play continues on. As this is going on right in front, Skinner upset, the puck's gonna go in the Edmonton zone and it's Bouchard, good pressure, the turnover. And how about this play by Lundell to Mikkola? And no mistake! Mikkola, his third. Great patience by Lundell, face the defender down and finds Mikkola."

The Daniel Ricciardo show at Silverstone 2017

Daniel got knocked out in Q1 after suffering a turbo failure in Qualifying. He would start the race in 19th and charge his way through the field to finish 5th.

Ricciardo was putting in the hard miles with the drive of the day in his wake. Not only that but he had to do the job almost twice over. An early charge up the field to 12th was wasted when he went wide and dropped once again back to 18th. He duly set about the task again and pulled off move after move, displaying the commitment and judgment in overtaking that has proved so exciting. Points might have been the target but by the time he dealt with the Force India cars of Esteban Ocon and Sergio Pérez, the Australian had made it clear he was not satisfied with scraping into the top 10.

I wanna watch people crash out about the Lions being good at football, and instead, I'm seeing people talk shit about JG when he literally had a perfect QBR last game.

[pointninezero1]

Please tell me your thought and opinions on Stuart Skinner, I’m genuinely curious lol

*points at pfp* *points at username* HFKAJFJS sorry anon but idk yeah i'm a big fan of stu i think he's a really great goalie especially during elimination games and for it being his second year as a starter goalie i think he's done really well !! i'm also just very fond of goalies in general as i'm a goalie myself (soccer not hockey but still) i think he has a long way to go but again he's so early in his career i don't doubt he can and will achieve great things with every season that passes :3

Not gonna lie, I'm in love with the look of this staff. It looks distinctive, but not too fancy, and really matches the look I'm going for with her. Also, the feathers remind me of the Sealing Wand from Cardcaptor Sakura!
