Let's discuss and please include all links, vids, etc. This poll closes around December 2016, so you need to vote before then if you want your voice to be heard in the stats.

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.

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

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.

you do realise that

1. SoBAd is kidding
2. These are real people, Felip is a Junior GS champ and Tony a very good Open player on the North American Money circuit..

actually might have a chance to get a doubles game going with fpeliwo and one of his training partners at the national center (DI player at a big NCAA school next year) against me (crappy open-level player) and a co-worker who used to be a ranked junior. 7.0 + 6.0 vs a 5.0s...nothing good can come of that

will probably have the webTV team at work film part of the match

Question:

I'm preparing a list of tennis-related challenges for the filming. If you had to decide, what kind of mini-games would you like to see us play?

Ideas we got so far:

1) Mini-tennis (all four players start at the net, we start the ball at the center of the let tape, and play out the point using the service boxes)

2) 5.0s stand across from each other at the net, and the two pro players pair up. Both teams play volley-volley and see which team can get the most hits in 60 seconds

3) Targets are placed in a service box. Each player has 60 seconds to take out as many as possible with his serve.

4) Full tiebreak, pros vs hacks, loser has to play butts up

any other ideas?

How about you all play in the hot tub with Serbian models and endless supplies of Basalt and champagne.

I have to be honest here and say that no one wants to see any of the idiotic activities you posted above on film or via third party hearsay.

fpeliwo has had some great posts, but it is too early to say whether his body of work over his entire TT posting career will be greater than TonLars.

You hit the nail right on the head here. By “greater of all time” we don’t mean “who is more accomplished” or “who is more likely to win a match if they played today”. It’s a complex combination of past accomplishments, current ability, future promise, and finally the contribution to our forum here, among many other intangibles.
