Cincinnati - the real Slam

They say life is pain. Is it more painful to watch the Nadal win or see increased activity by Octo and that truly horrific profile pic?

Or is it more painful to watch Muzziah folks talking up the second coming of their guy before the inevitable early-round beatdown, or to watch them dealing with his retirement by waging some holy war to inflate his importance in tennis history?

Could be worse

Could be talk about no big titles Keith or no big titles Milos or no titles at all Felix or as good in real slams as Tennys Sandgren Dominic

Yes. in about four days' time, we will have reached the tenth anniversary of one of the forum's most cherished threads.
On the tenth anniversary of this thread, a player with ugly strokes won the event. So you see, sureshs was right, from a certain point of view.

If anyone ever dare question why @sureshs transcends everything....this GOAT thread that he made 11 years ago became even GOATier now as Cincy truly is playing in a slam venue....

I wonder if readers of Sureshs at the USTA thought - This is our chance to make it the REAL slam for real! LOL

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.
Finally back in The Queen City, main draw play begins as I bump the most cla.s.sic of all thread OPs.

Bask in the glory this week that you earned 12 years ago when you created this ma.s.sterpiece.

Cincinnati 2009, I remember this Masters as if it was played yesterday. Seems so long ago but also so close in time. The Big4 as its absolute best.

At least sureshs is assured of being right this time - definitely won't be the one with the elegant strokes who wins it. Something about a broken clock managing to be right....

Cincinnati is the real slam because it's named after the real humble champion of the people, Rafaeus Nadullus Cincinnatus, who after he was bestowed the title in 2013, relinquished his title and went back to his humble clay pastures.

This time it is not the real Slam because Federer is out with an upcoming knee surgery
Only Muzziah of your Real Slam SFists is playing. Did you not notice that or are you contractually obligated to focus on fedr due to your borrowing of his elegant strokes?

The draw is out; which of these pros at The Real Slam has the most elegant strokes that you can model your game after instead of the SexiRogi style?:

Dimitrov
Gasquet
Lajovic
Evans
Shapovalov
Tsitsipas

@sureshs , your 12-year-old gem doesn’t have legs anymore. How will you handle this deflation of your value?:

Play Challengers like Tommy Robredo,

Go under the knife to improve your game for one more shot at glory like fedr

Continue the slow circular rotation down the toilet from Internet legend to just another forum member

What will it be?

1. you were never good
2. you were never even a thing

The old order changeth, yielding place to new,
And God fulfils himself in many ways,
Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.
Comfort thyself: what comfort is in me?
I have lived my life, and that which I have done
May He within himself make pure!
