Jews don't even believe in hell punishment. Should just ignore these things. What's their God gonna do?

sunset in Israel or sunset of wherever you happen to be on day of Yom Kippur?

By:

was sure they have to observe Jerusalem time but now I'm not sure because like say NY people for instance are pretty liberal with these things. Jews they do what want like and all that

Beijing at least is a credible event. Crowds norm good in Beijing, it has bit of prestige and feeling to it. Wuhan is the definition of a soulless event, no history, no prestige, no atmosphere, nothing.

for me it's more about time of the season than time zone I think. I have no problems staying up for Aussie swing. Players being fresh and motivated and crowds being hot probably helps though.

Ostapenko says she was struggling with energy. Didn’t have time to recover after her emotional midnight finish. Felt it on practice court.

By:

nofx When: 29 Sep 17 13:13

sure but Aus I do stay up for. Asia is rough because it requires getting up or else you're still awake and only start at 4/5 AM which i just don't find doable any more

I agree with this 100%. I am always 100% up for Aussie swing and ready for it. I think I said before but during Asian swing it's harder to devote your entire time to it, there feels more going on this time of year, and the time zone is super horrible for Europeans.

For players it depends who you are really, this time of year is always a question of who has the most gas in the tank. This year not many players feel totally spent, likely because the # of matches played across players is quite low this year as they've all had bad stretches in the year. Some years like half the top 10 are done by this time of the year.

sleeping in the day - into the evening - is alright. to start sleep in the evening is almost impossible for me personally

By:

I think AO starting around midnight (1am for you) helps too. This feels an easier start than these starts at like 3-4-5am. Often then the play isn't finishing until 3-4-5pm, this a horrible schedule which allows you to do virtually nothing else.

AO you can norm go to bed by midday and be back up like 6pm and feel like you've not missed much.

Nofx said something similar I see.

this season has gone quick in general, Fedal final was 8 months ago already, which means another 4 months til SoranaGOAT wins her maiden slam. Every cloud.

That must have been an absolute nightmare for people betting on it. Dudi lost the 1st set, won the 2nd set and broken Dog to start the 3rd and then retired!
