G.O.A.T.
(Some) Fed fans have the agenda. They want to equate masters with 250s and 500s and avoid any talk of Big Titles.Again, not true. The pro tour is the entire tour, not just the 14 tournaments. Also, the ATP is not objective and is also not the only tennis organization so please spare me with this. It’s a marketing move. The pros don’t prioritize, they are forced to enter the Masters since 10 years ago.
All in all, we both know you have an agenda here, and I find it despicable how hard you are pushing it without even dipping into any reasoning. But it’s really see through and now you are just repeating yourself ad nauseum, which I guess means we are done here. Good luck with spreading the “Big titles” agenda, though
P.S.: Show me one quote where a pro groups Masters, Slams and Wtf together
I don’t need any “luck” pushing Big Titles. the ATP, which is far more relevant than anything we discuss here, already does that.
As for marketing, well, yes, so what? The slams themselves are marketing. The slam race is marketing. It didn’t exist until a few decades ago. For years top players were perfectly comfortable skipping some of the slams. That, of course, is no longer the case. Why? Because of marketing.
As for pros talking about the top tournaments you can start with the video that’s in the initial post of this thread.
And it’s not that complicated. All pros want to win slams, and ideally all the slams. Similarly all pros want to win masters and ideally all the masters (see Fed’s comments on Nole’s Golden Masters). No one cares about how many 250s or 500s they won and even less about trying to win all 500s or 250s. There is a clear hierarchy to pro tournaments.
