Peliwo obviously. I doubt Tonlars would disagree.

Doesn't matter much, few people on this forum would be any kind of a threat to either of then even if they were having a terrible day.

I hear Peliwo's serve is even bigger than Raonic, is that true?

I don't have a source but I heard the same thing. Just after hearing he could generate more rpm on his forehand than Nadal.

Nadal would lose in a tight three setter to Filip Peliwo.

Only on clay though, it wouldn't be a contest on the other surfaces.

True, but TonLars faced tough competition on the college circuit, while fpeliwo had it relatively easy. True, he won Wimbledon and USOpen in the juniors, but it could have been a different story if he played in the earlier stronger jr era and had to face prime Andrey Kuznetsov on grass or in-form Berankis on hardcourts.

Hey all! Yeah Filip is definitely better, and he is going to continue to improve and be alot better than I am. Right now if im playing well we could have a competitive match, but he would win at least 8 out of 10 times Id think. Ive beaten several ranked players up to about current top 600 and some former top 300 and better, but I think Filip has a pretty high ceiling of course to far surpass that. We nearly faced each other in Winnipeg Futures, but I lost that 4 hour match 1st round where I played a little shaky, and Filip beat that guy in the second round in straight sets pretty convincingly. I didnt see the match unfortunately, but I believe most days I would have beaten the guy I lost to.

Filip is a great player and I wish him good luck, seems like a good guy too. Im still improving and I will definitely be better 2 years from now than I am currently, barring injury. If i play a few futures this year I like my chances at picking up a point, Ive been close.

they'd have a close match right now. I played Wett and Filip just lost to him so it gives me a good idea of his level atm. Just like Tony said though, Filip will improve at a high rate in the next year or so being on tour full time.

Toni would crush LeeD.

Absolute crushing. Lethal.

Epic.

5.5 VS 4.0

No chance for Lee.
