Re: Why Nadal is unbeatable on clay
#3This is hardly original, Nadal's game has been well-analysed for ages now. However, this is also why a lot of (most?) people prefer Federer to him: because Roger's game is more original and creative. It's a bit like Toyota vs Tesla: one will always sell more cars and make more money because it executes better, but that's not always the point.

#4Would be interested to see more in-depth numbers backing this up. Anyone know the state of publicly accessible tennis (shot-by-shot) data?

General trend towards what's considered easier casual readability. Shorter sentences. Shorter paragraphs. More and shorter posts. Smaller words.
At one online publication I write for sometimes, the tool I use to enter my articles is always whining at me to drop the reading level down.
I don't usually go as far as single sentence paragraphs but I've generally learned to shift most of what I write towards easier consumption.

Probably because of blog software. Word Press does this by default.

#7Not sure how this is original enough to warrant a cross areas post to hn of all places let alone get up voted.
Every soccer fan on every corner ever has a theory as to why his fav player is the best ever.

If 80% of your readers are only going to pay attention to the pull quotes and tl;dr’s, why go to the trouble of writing anything else?

#9This basically describes Nadal as a pusher, which is a wild overstatement relative to his creativity and shotmaking.

Wordpress most definitely does not do this by default. Typing a period, a space, and then a capital letter to begin the next Steven ever does not start a new paragraph.
You can even see in the screenshots on the link you provided that new sentences do not become new paragraphs.
