Wimby 2019 for me and it’s not close.

Osaka doesn’t have a B game, and Emma is fast enough to frustrate Naomi. It’s not fair to Emma to assume she’ll be the new favorite at every major, but if she has a good team around her and is able to keep her head on, she should be formidable, no matter the field or opponent. Additionally, I...

The gradual slowing and homogenizing of tennis surfaces has killed variety in the modern game. Murray realized that being a more defensive, grinding player who could outlast guys was going to give him the most success, and he was right. Modern tennis has turned into a war of attrition. I love...

I disagree. 40-15 is something that will never go away for me. I don’t care about GOAT stuff as much. Fed has lost so many tight matches to Novak, and it was a chance to avenge some of those, and do something many thought impossible. Instead it turned into an absolute nightmare, and it is more...

There would be no contest between 2011 Novak and today’s version. He HAS to be mentally stronger today because his game can go completely off the rails today. In 2011 he was incredibly consistent, explosive, powerful, and didn’t get tired.

I absolutely despise this trope. It’s recency bias and revisionist history all at the same time. In 2011 Novak was in god mode basically the entire year, and he was beating 25 year old prime Rafa and 30 year old prime Fed along the way. He also had Murray to contend with. 2011 Novak would...

An all time great thread. It’s funny to think that NadalGirl26 is probably 26 for real now, vs 11-12 when she wrote that.

It’s not ever happening. Too bad, I would have loved to see it.

I don't believe you

I don't think he's faking it, but this isn't new for Djokovic. Plays poorly in warm up tournaments, struggles with something physical, looks bad in early matches at a Major, etc. Often, once he hits the QF he finds his form and ends up winning the whole thing. I see that happening again at the...

"IDK Who else, I was not watching Tennis at the time" That's all I need to know.

Yes you're right - made the edit. Clearly I'm still scarred from the Wimby loss. I do think the USO is out of reach for Fed, which sucks.

I would love to see Fed win the US Open, but the most likely scenario is more likely this: Federer gets to the QF and loses to some rando who makes their first ever SF just to be throttled. Djokovic limps through his first few rounds, losing sets and getting angry and being petulant, and then...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

At this point I doubt he gets one. He can't get past the QF of a Major FFS. He's the worst. I love this double fault crown thing...Something I can actually root for Zverev to win.
