John,
If you're looking for a topic during this downtime I, for one, would love to see you revisit Fabio Fognini's forehand.
I see you touched on his compact swing in this forum back in 2017, here:
Fabio Fognini Forehand His on court behavior has often been abhorrent, but his forehand is effortless and compact, and an interesting combination of technical
I continue to be amazed at both the spin and velocity Fogs, at 5 ft 10 in, can generate with such a compact swing.
Looking at your forum discussion, the other thing that jumped out at me is how much greater topspin is these days across the tour.
Both these graphics I uploaded are from Tennis TV stats compiled by nom-de-web Vestige du Jour (a Japanese stat guru out of Paris).
You see Fog's average topspin forehand is equivalent to that of Nadal, and his average velocity in one is a hefty 76 mph (I've seen him near 110 mph on his forehand).
If the spin measurements are consistently done, the over 3,200 RPMs for Fognini in Miami is 700 RPMs more than what is shared in your 2017 forum thread. But that is in line with increases across the ATP.
Hope you find Fog's forehand worth a comment (or any new vid?).
Thanks and stay safe everyone. / jim

Please excuse the 1hander, I am trying to rest my left wrist while I have no matches or work.
