SVB vs Mike D.
- Thread starter rjb1168
- Start date
IMHO, Mike doesn't have much chance v SVB in a long race.
But the long format is a different ball game.
Credit to Mike for beating SVB at Turning Stone.short race format
I see such threads crop up when SVB or some top guy gets beaten by "lower ranked guy". Not a fan of Mike but a win is a win- shouln'd take anything away from his win. :grin-square:

Exactly.
Shaw beat him so bad SVB pulled his shooting glove off when Jayson had 7 games.
Nobody wins all the time. Which is why the game is played. Shaw played strong all weekend at TS.
Mike is looking to play SVB. No reply was given that I know of.

I'm saying if it's that easy for Shane to win he should just say yes.
It was a legitimate offer. Alternating break would show us the better shooter that day.
Last time I checked breaking is part of the game ,, and since when does the challenger make the rules ,, Shane had zero reason to play Mike he certainly doesn't need the chump change Mikes offering maybe 20 k might spark his interest

In a race to 100 alternate break/ winner break no jump cues/jump cues aloud.Svb is the favorite to beat any and all american players. Short sets anyone can win . But Shane is a monster and long sets or races he is the favorite.

Shane is the favorite for sure against Mike in a long race, but Mike would present just as much of a challenge as Jayson.
Of course, Jayson right now is the flavor of the month, so most will disagree. For the last couple of years, however, Mike has outplayed Jayson on the Joss tour more often than not. It's the best rivalry going.
And, seriously, Jayson beat Mike this afternoon by kicking in a ball at double hill. Really not that convincing. Mike was the one guy Jayson didn't demolish in his run to the final.
Finally, who really cares who'd win in a race to 100? Our sport isn't about long races, and it never has been. Such matches are exhibitions and fall outside the boundaries of pro competition. Even the exhibition races to 25 at the CSI were a bit long for my taste, and I wasn't able to sit through even one of them from start to finish.

+1 well said
If tennis was long race , play 10 hrs whole day we know guys like Federer , Nadal would not be champions. If football/ soccer long race like play 10 hrs non stop, we know European teams would not be champions and be beaten badly by African nations
And we know that if 100m or 200m sprint was cancelled and Usain Bolt has to run marathons, he doesn't have a chance
A better indicator of abilities is multiple sets of short races rather than long races. Which is why most sports have head to head records/ database eg http://www.itftennis.com/procircuit...esult.aspx?player1=10019424&player2=100013005
It is high time that pool compile such head to head records
