    Emma R now 13-3 at "slams" -- a quick comparison

    Quick Point: I am not predicting that Emma Raducanu will become an ATG player – I certainly don’t know how to project her career (or anyone’s for that matter). I don’t see special Swiatek-level talent, but I also don’t think that a player can fluke their way to winning 10 straight matches in...

    Please recommend me ATP tournaments and its best stages in Europe this and early next year - I'm a Rafa - Big 3 fan/maybe we'll meet up. No hate!

    So it'll be cold until Monte Carlo but I love tennis more than weather (0 degrees in Paris and Turin.. I'm from a colder climate. Not Syberia though :). I'm like "well, it's one of my last chances to see a slam or ATP with x and y". Would you go to early rounds middle rounds or final? My...

    Is this forum pro Novak/Federer/Nadal? Who is most disliked?

    I'd like to know that because it well give you perspective. I like all the big 3, loved Federer but Nadal even more. I then thought "Novak is alien". I really do love their rivalry.

    This thread was inspired from another one, and I used the same data points as were used there. (Too much time on my hands with no work today.) Starting in 1988, here is a compilation of the most times players have won certain "pairs" of slams in the same year - with the following results, from...

    Big Titles Won (Big 3 versus the field) the Last 15 years

    Here's a stat of questionable value on this slow day, although it does illustrate just how dominant The Big 3 have been the last, well, 15 years. I may not be breaking news here, but sometimes - with all of the debates here - it's nice to sit back and appreciate just what Fed, Rafa and Novak...

    Will Zverev's Laver-Cup clinching win increase his confidence?

    Okay, this is yet another Laver Cup thread, and I realize that LC is just an exhibition. But given that there is some pressure to win when teammates are counting on you, do you think Zverev's win yesterday will give him a confidence boost in slam tournaments? Don't laugh...well, you can. Most...

    If THE BIG 3 is the best trio ...

    ...of contemporary players to ever play (with three great rivalries among Fed, Rafa and Novak), who do you consider to be the next best trio? Or if you think another trio was even better, state your case.
