Sure wish there were as many interesting young American men’s tennis players as there are women’s. I know WTA is wide open right now which is the opposite of ATP, but I’m not talking about winning majors even. Would just be nice to see guys showing what Goff has or even this Caty McNally tonight against Serena. She has at times relied on her serve and volley too much, but her forehand has been fire and she is a fighter. Not that she’s a future star necessarily...it’s just more than we see on the men’s side even if one gets talked up now and again.

The overall state of the men's game is in pretty bad shape right now tbh. The gap between Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, and the rest of the field has never felt bigger. The second tier of players (basically the guys ranked #4-#10 are less of a threat to the big three than they've ever been). It's fun to watch greatness but at some point you'd like to see someone step up to really challenge them consistently.

I've had mine (orange) for over a month now. Extremely comfortable. I plan to buy another pair when I can find another pair in my size.

She's incredible to watch. I get a little nervous over the media placing so much hype and expectation on a 15 year old but I guess it is what it is. If she somehow beats Osaka tomorrow night it's going to get out of control.

I hope she puts up a good fight...and loses.

Winning all things equal would be amazing, but all things aren’t equal. It would get out of control.

When my hair started going I took a razor to it and never looked back.

Invested in a good buzzer one day and helped it along the rest of the way. I also started growing facial hair to avoid the cue ball look. Bald is better than obviously thinning IMO. Own it

I remember the moment that I noticed that the top of my scalp was displaying the historic remains of a once great society of hair.

I went to Gee's Clippers, had them shave the rest of it off for me, and have been maintaining the clean shaven look ever since. I have a Gillette Fusion Proglide that I pair with some shaving cream. Works just fine. I'd recommend using Nivia for Men Cooling Post Shave Balm after you shave your head - just about a quarter-sized drop in your hands that you rub on your scalp afterwards. Helps deal with any razor irritation and really helps to smoothen your scalp. It feels really nice.

I've got a well-maintained beard as well, using a razor, a wahl trimmer, and this amazing Bulldog Beard Shampoo and Conditioner. Not usually a fan of beard oils/balms/creams etc - most of them are gimmicky, IMO - but this stuff is pretty damn great. Smells nice, really makes your beard look fuller and healthier and better maintained.

But in all honesty it took me a few years to accept my hair loss. I cut it close and keep a tidy beard. Do your best to embrace your baldness. Invest in a clipper and put the hair cut savings into a new hobby!

Most Australia would be ok with that, as she's taken to espousing her views supporting most of the best bits of the world's most widely-circulated book.

I have the black, now regret not getting Bucks green or Greece blue but other than that super comfy.
