Is Cincy a slam?

Because I have a feeling it was never officially settled, strange after all those years.

fedr won 5 TRS after Cincinnati was levitated to slam status before the 2009 SFs. Also just 5 USOs in a row.
Only a Fed fanatic would call Cinci a slam, as it Never was and Never will be a slam.

Yes, it is but only half as prestigious as Doha.
Conspiracy theory excuses when you don't like results. You can't disprove it, so now you use ad hom arguments to bash on Fed fans. You exposed your weak mind, thanks.
When did the ITF or ATP ever declare Cincy a slam? Fed fans want Cincy to be considered a slam to add to his slam count. Cinch is NOT a slam and NEVER WILL BE. Deal with the reality, if you are capable of dealing with reality.

Declared by a much greater authority than those 2.
Cincinnati - the real Slam
Today's semifinals feature the top 4 players. Unlike the last 2 "Slams". I contend that whoever wins here is the real #1 and the GOAT. I have a feeling it won't be the guy with the elegant strokes.

Coming from someone who lives 45 mins from Cincy...no, no it is not. Like not even a little, not even accidentally. If I had to put it quantifiable terms it would be 0.00%. What I'm saying, is that there's no chance.
Ok, then if you go by this road, when did ATP decleared that Fed or Rafa or Nole are goats? Or that Djokovic won in a weak era?
Neither was decleared by the ATP, but it's still accepted here. Your ATP argument is weak.
Goat is what fans decide and they have chosen Federer, it's youwho can't deal with reality, we have also chosen that Cincy is a slam.
Who, Federer fans? Cinci IS a masters1000 tournament, deal with that Fact.Declared by a much greater authority than those 2.

You're taking it too seriously lol. 'Cincy is a slam' is a classic TTW meme.

Lol why did you have to tell him? It was hilarious to see him get so upset about it.

Will there only be the same 4 slams for the rest of our lives or will there ever be another tournament that moves to best of 5 sets and increases prize money? Ive heard of Indian Wells being called the "5th slam". The main stadium is the 2nd biggest outdoor stadium in the world behind Arthur Ashe.

There will never be any new addition to the 4 traditional Slams unless (in the extremely unlikely event) any of them have to permanently pull out for some drastic reason.

Erm, you do realize that the whole "Cincy is a Slam" thing was started by a Nadal fan in an attempt to dismiss Federer?

I voted both yes and no because it's all subjective. To some loonies, yes it's a slam. And during these difficult times I appreciate everyone, even you nuts.

. .Cincinnati? . Get real.
