I want a few years of a Rafa-Daniil rivalry, same with Zverev and Tsitsipas with the Russian. As others have said, it’s more exciting to have some new blood that can actually compete now with the old champs!You will be more hooked on him if Nadal retires eek

Glad he made a good decision for himself! Must be tough and disappointing for fans and it being in Russia

The return of the Mad Lad is imminent! Paris Masters starts on Monday. Interesting stat for Mad Lad enthusiasts: if he wins out (5-0 in Paris, 5-0 in London), he'll have a top 5 season of all time in terms of hard court wins in a season. He's 46-9 if you include Davis Cup (45-9 without). Record is 59 in 2006 by Roger Federer and in 2015 by Novak Djokovic.

All four on indoor. That has to play into it.

Yes, his style of play is like a taller Andy Murray who won’t step into the baseline and dictate points. Anyone aggressive on indoors can run him around and hit angles on him.
He needs to make more of a conscious effort like Thiem did this year to not allow himself to be pushed behind the baseline.

Mecir, aka The Big Cat, would be the closest but he was at least three inches shorter, still quite tall for his era.

Why are you surprised? Didn’t you see the US Open shenanigans?

Getting annoyed by the crowd and ‘attacking’ an official are two different things

I’m looking forward to Medvedev beating Djokovic in the ATP Cup semis
I'm looking forward to the opposite and then Djokovic getting his hands on Nadal.

Med should absolutely have been defaulted for this behavior. The meltdowns among the next gen p-ssies this week have been whiny brat meltdowns. They all need to grow a pair.

Yes, it can only go so far. Remember when Nalbandian got defaulted when he hit that sign and it accidentally made the line umpire bleed. Not sure why Med didn't get it or did he need to make the umpire bleed first?

Djokovic was very rude to Carlos during the match with Shapo. Nadal would never!!!

If his form is similar to Washington through Shanghai,t hen he has a real chance to win this.

You think he has a real chance to defeat Nadal and Djokovic back to back? Or are you assuming one or both will lose before meeting Med?
MugOpponent

I think there's a decent chance one will lose. Just a gut feeling as obviously it's very difficult to point at one match for a big 3 player and say they're losing here.
I'm not particularly confident for Rafa at the AO this year. From yesterday to today his odds went from +300 to +400.

After his narrow miss at the US Open I really thought he was primed and ready to go one better at the next Slam. Instead, he couldn't even make it to any of the Big 3 and crashed out to a guy more than a decade older than him (albeit to the only other player who is a former champion).
Has to be a big setback for him and his confidence.

Indian Wells is just about here! Going in to the tournament, Daniil is only defending 45 points. At the start of the tournament, with points dropping from IW2019, it'll look like this:
So, he will be 140 points behind Federer and 155 points behind Thiem. Another great opportunity to move up. Fed obviously isn't participating, so he simply needs a QF (180 points) to leapfrog him. To pass up Thiem, he needs a QF plus a Thiem 2nd round loss, or at least get one round further than Thiem with a SF or better (SF vs QF, F vs SF, W vs F). He will pass Federer no matter what after Miami, but it'd be nice to jump from #5 to #3 in the next two weeks, given an excellent opportunity to do so.
| Name | Points In | Points Defending | Points Pre-Tournament |
| Dominic Thiem #3 | 7045 | 1000 | 6045 |
| Roger Federer #4 | 6630 | 600 | 6030 |
| Daniil Medvedev #5 | 5890 | 45 | 5890 |
