Your odd opinions

Red Rick · Jul 24, 2017

Thought it would be kind of nice to have a thread for your opinions on pro tennis or players that are not in line with what everyone seems to think.

I'll start.

Nick Kyrgios' forehand is his worst groundstroke, and actually prevents him from reaching the top.

tennis_pro · Jul 24, 2017

I think Jack Sock's backhand is very underrated on these boards.

Sysyphus · Jul 24, 2017

I think Andy Murray is the GOAT, but doctor sez I should keep these opinions to myself

Isn't that Fed's doctor?

This is about opinions, not about universal truths that are denied by an uneducated mass.

There's a reason he's a doctor.

Federer and Del Potro · Jul 24, 2017

Fabio Fognini is the best tennis player in the world, he's just so humble a king that he drops crumbs to the peasants often.

skip1969 · Jul 24, 2017

I want to see fast, fast grass courts. And 16 seeds at Slams.

TimHenmanATG · Jul 24, 2017

I think that Khachanov will be the dominant ''next gen'' player in the next 1-2 years.

He's very raw, but he only needs a little more control in his game - and some guidance and tutelage from a measured head - and then he'll supercede the likes of Thiem and Zverev.

Deon Sanders · Jul 24, 2017

We need to bring back carpet for one masters, one 500, and a couple 250s

Nolkobolko · Jul 24, 2017

I'm a massive fan of Kokkinakis' FH.

DreddyTennis45 · Jul 24, 2017

Kim Clijsters is kinda hot

Could be, I certainly liked what I saw from him vs. Fed in Halle.

OP, great thread but I'm afraid I only have great and rational opinions, not odds ones ;-)

He is the kind of doctor that mostly sees Australian players

TheMaestro1990 · Jul 24, 2017

Why does Federer have notable fat on his belly? I'm perplexed and I think to myself he should be thinner in that area lol

That's because he no longer needs to practice or train. He just coasts along by using his genius.

ark_28 · Jul 24, 2017

I wouldn't mind a crack at Berloq on grass I reckon that would be a good match.

McEnroe likes him, but too big to succeed.

MasturB · Jul 24, 2017

Donald Young has the skills to be a Top 10 player if he had the right coaching.

MasturB · Jul 24, 2017

Fabio Fognini could win a slam.

Shavopalov is already looking exceedingly dangerous at a young age. Was really moving well in his last match and the offense he has at such a young age is amazing. This kid could bring oldFed game style in a young lefty body in a few years. Only thing holding him back is a poor return game. I believe he is about to make a very nice move up the rankings.

rainingaces · Jul 24, 2017

Maximo Gonzalez has a better forehand than most of the top 50 on clay and Marin Cilic has the perfect serve to copy.

BeatlesFan · Jul 24, 2017

The second most talented player after Roger is Fognini.

TheGhostOfAgassi · Jul 24, 2017

Delpo is lazy and not putting enough effort in cardio and core muscularity. The way he walks on court is extremely annoying.

tennisaddict · Jul 24, 2017

In a perfect world, Gulbis and Fognini should be ranked higher than Nadal and Murray.

Deleted member 307496 · Jul 24, 2017

Roddick should have as many slams as Murray.

Mazz Retic · Jul 25, 2017

Ancic should have won at least a slam and should have been a top 10 player in the big 4 generation.

Checkmate · Jul 25, 2017

Djokobic's FH is better than his BH.

This is indeed odd. I thought the common opinion was that she's very, very hot.

-NN- · Jul 25, 2017

Kim is one of my faves. Yeah there are (much) better looking women but she looks great because of her sort of aura and general being. Kim for the win.

VladBurn · Jul 25, 2017

Goffin is a future n1 player

Zoolander · Jul 25, 2017

Navratilova was soooooo much hotter than Sabatini it isnt funny...........

Is that an odd opinion? Dude was deservedly hyped back in the day. Certainly when Wimbledon came around. Even before his health nosedived the slowing down of the courts really worked against him almost more than anyone else. Maybe Taylor Dent too.

ibbi · Jul 25, 2017

David Goffin gave a tremendous acting debut in Dunkirk playing Mark Rylance's son.

Probably not. I just felt like plugging ancic. Sad story but good to see he's killing it outside of tennis.

Phoenix1983 · Jul 25, 2017

Navratilova's doubles successes mean nothing in the GOAT debate.

I think you should visit Sysuphus's doctor after this one

Like cilic serve alot but to add my "odd" part to this matter: Im quite baffled how guy that tall with that very aggressive service motion only generates around 125mph on his first serve..

It's an easy on the body service motion, he can go 5 hours serving like that. Accuracy and enough power to be in control, his forehand is in a similar mould to his serve

BHServe · Jul 25, 2017

Tsonga's backhand. I mean it is so bad compared to every other stroke/area of his game that it makes one to wonder how he has not got it any better. I get that someone has an average serve since the motion is complex, but 2hbh is not and Tsonga's pretty much sucks..

Rafa the King · Jul 25, 2017

Novak Djokovic's backhand is overrated, it isn't the best backhand ever, while he has one of the best forehands ever

Dedans Penthouse · Jul 25, 2017

Agnieszka Radwańska: . I think

Thiem hits the ball like a pansy.

Tennisgods · Jul 25, 2017

Djokovic will break Feds weeks at number 1 record. Might catch slam record too.
