    Federer’s Best Hardcourt Season Level Wise?

    This is tricky. 2004 USO final was his goat hardcourt match for me. But overall it’s 2007 for me with the AO USO and YEC

    I Remember this like yes

    Federer was actually clutch for once. Brilliant performance in the final. Also some lovely single backhand opposition. Haas backhand is tennis porn! I was really pleased for Roger back then and I still am now. Even though it was something that my number one favourite couldn’t do. But I was big...

    Compare this YEC/WTF to the present day one

    It’s miles ahead tennis wise. We see nothing like this now. The court is lovely and quick. Products high skill level shot making. People say the game evolves and players from the past have zero chance again them of the present. I call BS on that!

    Nadals Best Clay Court Opponents since 2005? Was this the weakest Clay Era Ever?

    I Think everyone knows by now about the famous 90s/early 00s Clay Era and to a lesser extent the 77-87 Clay Era. The 90s was Easily the Greatest Clay Court Era ever. People on here complained about the RG 22 draw being stacked but some of the Draws in the 90s we’re just insane And way tougher...

    Which playing styles is Djokovic Best and Worst against?

    Watching the Ruud semi final last night I kept on noticing how well Novak matches up against that heavy hitting Topspin style of play. So what does Novak dislike?
  10. SamprasisGOAT

    What does this tell us?

    So Djokovic has beaten Nadal twice on Philippe Chatrier but there record on Rod Laver Arena and Centre Court Wimbledon is 4-0 to Novak on those courts. Since 2011 when Novak became the real Novak the Head 2 Head is an almost Bunny level of 23-12 and the brutal breakdown is hardcourts 13-2 to...

    Djokovic Best Slams in Order

    Interested in the battle between French open and US Open and I also believe between Australia and Wimbledon but that’s probably just me. It’s WIM,AO,RG,USO for me

    Djokovic Root To the Dubai Title

    Tough draw for Nole to face in his come back. Round 1 MUSSETI Round 2 KHACHANOV or DE MINAUR Quarter Final CILIC or BAUTISTA AGUT Semi Final AUGER-ALIASSIME or SHAPOVALOV Final SINNER or RUBLEV will he get through this and take another title?

    Since 2011 What’s been Djokovic's Best Slam?

    I think there’s a debate to be had here. AO losses 3 14 Wawrinka Stan would have beaten anyone that night. Insane level but Djokovic avenged this 17 Instomin 18 Chung 22 Governments he was favourite Wimbledon losses 4 Federer 12 was the Semi to one of the grass GOATs and he’s avenged this...

    Does anyone know if this Djokovic polo shirt from the 2021 Australian open final was on sale anywhere?

    I can’t find it anywhere. I can only find the green one from the quarter final against zverev

    Who else thinks this is true?

    Grass and hardcourts go hand in hand generally but clay is totally different to anything else. Which is why there are so many clay court specialists.

    Dominic Thiem’s best surface?

    It’s a close run thing.
  17. SamprasisGOAT

    Players that use the buggy whip forehand the majority of the time?

    I’m interested in this list. I can’t think of many Active or retired. Sampras from 95 onwards. Nadal Gasquet Casper Ruud Lloyd Harris Thiem? Maybe 50/50 Borg? Corretja? Djokovic has started a lot more since maybe 2018. Sampras use to when he was on the run like most people do I suppose.
  18. SamprasisGOAT

    How many grand slam titles for Dominic Thiem?

    From the eye test he’s top 10 of all time for me but unfortunately he lacks the drive of the big 3 so his numbers don’t do justice to how good he actually is. He just needed to beat Nadal one time at the french and the floodgates would have opened for him. also with so many excellent younger...

    I would be hilarious if Novak ends up with 12 Australian opens

    All the nadal fans saying how amazing nadals 12 French opens are and how untouchable that record is. Imagine Djokovic equalling it? Unlikely I know. I’ve heard several people say Djokovic could end up with 8 Wimbledon’s to match Federer. So why not 4 more Australians? Nadal and his fans would be...

    Sampras is greater on grass than nadal is on clay. Opposition proves it.

    In the 90s grass court tennis was so strong. Winning 7 Wimbledon’s in 8 years in the 1990s against that grass field is one of the all time greatest achievements in sports history. Never mind tennis history. Nadal has racked up 12 French opens by playing no clay court specialists or clay court...

    Top 3 players from each decade. Which decade has the strongest top 3?

    Why has Djokovic only won 3 US open titles and how many will he end up with?

    Logically thinking hardcourt being Djokovic best surface with 11 hardcourt slams you'd have thought he’d have more than 3 US opens. what is it he doesn’t like as much asthe Australian open? Why has he lost so many finals? Court speed?Wild crowds? America as a country? I personally think he...

    Is Djokovic more like Sampras or Agassi?

    Me being a huge huge huge Sampras fan, I’ve always supported Federer since Pete finished in 2002 and I always saw Djokovic with his double hander and great return as more of an agassi type player. Also Djokovic used to be mentally weak like agassi was. But these last 3 years I’ve started to...
