Is it a better long-term strategy to conserve energy by tanking return games when you're down 40-o/40-15? Or should a player never let up when returning serve (like Federer)?

That's a little harsh—he's not that fat.

There's got to be considerable overlap between the Deadspin and Fangraphs readership, no?

100%. The above-quoted writers are nothing more than tactful Buzz Bissingers.

In MMA, both fighters must agree to a fight; no fighter is forced to fight a particular opponent.
