For me and Nadal, yes. But he took it seriously and lost. That is the problem.

2012 champ, was then #1, and yes you said it, GOAT!!!!!!!

So, Suresh, are you a man of your word and admit that Federer is the GOAT?

Suresh guess is that the guy with the elegant strokes won't win the real slam.

During the Cincy tournament it usually and rightfully gets bumped as well.

For me and Nadal, yes. But he took it seriously and lost. That is the problem.

There really is no stopping you, right? is there?

[TennisLovaLova]

I'm proud to say I'm the one always bumping and keeping this GOAT thread alive.
I cant do it alone guys

I think what makes this tournament so special as it is anti-moonballer.

I plan to go this year! Do the top seeds play by Tuesday/Wednesday? They'd have to since it's a larger field, right? With all these tournaments this month where the top seed doesn't even play until Thursday, it has me a little confused.

All the top seeds will play by Wednesday night at the latest, but some will play on Tuesday. Not sure how many will play by Monday. Perhaps none since the top 8 seeds get byes into the 2nd round in a MS. The draw is 64 players with byes to the top 8 seeds in every MS except IW or Miami. In IW and Miami I believe the top 16 seeds get byes, and the draw is like a slam, 128 players.

Thanks! We plan to go for Tuesday evening and all day/all evening Wednesday so I should be able to see a lot of my favorites. The only other pro tournament I've ever been to was Indy years ago so I'm very excited.

Sure did. He won it in 2005 (beat Roddick), 2007 (beat Blake), 2009 (beat Djokovic), 2010 (beat Fish) and 2012 (beat Djokovic). I think he's won it more times than any other player!

Murray has also won Cincinnati twice. That can't be. Who would've guessed that Murray would win the real slam twice? And strangely enough, he beat the same player both times. He also beat this player to win the USO, but that was just an exo compared to the real slam. Who is this player?

Even if you don't get to see your favorites play matches, you can always go watch the practice sessions. Pretty great feeling going around the grounds seeing players at every court, and I went during the last few days so that was just a sample size. Hope you have fun

I know and yet people keep trying to tell me he's never won a Slam!

Whoever it was, I suspect it must have been hellishly windy on court when it happened!
