Monfils is 34. Time passes by so quick.

Kei's serve has never been this much of weapon. I don't recall.

Is this fully automated line call? at slams?

Hope Kei is not cramping anytime soon.

Kei is playing great with improved serves but Novak is in typical early round forms, trying to find slam forms...

stat-wise djokovic played better overall except he missed more break chances and played poor tiebreaker.

Nishikori improved his serves. He appears to have corrected his somewhat straight arm wind up no?

Seppi, the guy who beat Federer at AO.

Probably. But some doctor says different thing. One of my cousins had it and had a surgery when he was teenager. He is an excellent athlete even after surgery. But he is not a professional athlete. That might be the difference.

Rafa was such an anomaly on clay. Imagine what could have happened by now if we had just bruguera or kuerten level clay dominator. P.s. then again what would have happened if rafa was not born with problem foot condition? :-D

Definitely yes for entire 70s-90s basically. AO was very slow and problem was the surface property changed depending on temperature. Plus atp had indoor season with carpeted courts which changed to hard courts late 90s.

David Ferrer reached 10 consecutive slam quarter finals, (last time I checked. So aybe more non consecutive)

When David Ferrer reached something like 10 consecutive slam final 8, that put him in top 5 of all time list in that record. Players of last 20 years are crowded in the top of that list. Something serious inflationary happened last 20 years in tennis. :-D

I only see Sinner as potential for next dominant player of an Era type of player among next generation. Plus his timing is good assuming big3 career end soon. :-D

I don't know. US open claimed unchaned since 2004 DecoTurf (?) switch and Wimbledon claimed unchanged since 2001 grass change and 2003 irrigation related change underneath grass layer.
