Hello.
Can Tie, Hold, Remain work as a performative verbs? In the contexts I stated below:
TIE: Nadal-Djokovic is the most common meeting among men’s tour players since 1968. Federer-Djokovic ties for second; its next edition will push it past Ivan Lendl-John McEnroe.
HOLD: He holds the records among male players for Grand Slam titles (17), reaching Grand Slam finals (27), consecutive Grand Slam semi-final appearances (23) and consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final appearances (36), among others.
REMAIN: Now there remain three more tournaments for me.
Looking forward to your answers.
