The Indian Wells men's doubles draw has been released, and it's a corker. One advantage of the longer Masters 1000 events is that the extra days off tempt some top singles stars to dabble in the doubles.
Alongside some of the world's best doubles teams, the likes of
Novak Djokovic,
Jannik Sinner and
Felix Auger-Aliassime

I really think that we _are_ starting to build those tools. I'm party to a lot of discussions about how to use these tools well, and a lot of that starts to look like systems design: what are controls? What are the feedback loops? Where do we need to add new frictions? Where do we need to eliminate old bottlenecks?
We are still very, _very_ early in this.
But the work is getting done, and a lot of us 'haters' need to get in the drivers seat and start putting up useful critique like mttaggart's. I don't agree with the entire article, but it's solid work and solid case report. It’s very good stuff. We need a lot more of these conversations.
And we need to let people hate it. Not to be confused with obstinate blocking, but to have the feelings of hating it, of disliking the processes it engenders, of finding those new footings — or rejecting the bad ones. We can't look at this clearly unless we have the space to hate it.
