Congrats Djoker fans on another AO title to add to the lad's resume, he played well in the final, yada yada yada. But what's more important is that we have to rank all nine of his AO wins. I don't mean strictly the strength of the draw, although you can factor that in if you want. You can rank...

I made this thread so USO doesn't have to. Look at that determined expression - This is the face of a player bursting with confidence Woohoo, hooray, Djokovic going down soon, will get exposed, etc. etc.

This is a question that's really been wretching my noggin since the beginning of time. Given the lack of physical evidence to determine who was better, we have to work this one out ourselves. I feel like Federer would have a really decent shot in this hypothetical encounter but, again, I don't...

Just realized that for three straight Australian Opens, we had absolutely stellar displays of tennis in one of the SFs by very unexpected players who had their greatest tournaments at those AOs. None of them really reached those heights again, which makes their runs all the more fascinating...

After knocking out Djokovic and Nadal, respectively, Thiem and Medvedev have moved on to the final to face each other. Who shall take home the last London ATP Finals trophy and be cursed for the entirety of next season? Take your picks, posters and trolls.

Tennis TV with a beefy upload today, covering their ten best ATP Finals matches. Some bery, bery good tennis on display: Obviously, TTW probably has better lists so please list yours as well. btw #1 was a robbery

The two will play to secure the second semifinal spot of Group Tokyo 1970. Djokovic leads this H2H 3-2 but are tied at the ATP Finals 1-1, with both of those matches taking place in 2018 during Zverev's win at the tournament. Are we in for a repeat of the 2018 final or a repeat of their...

This match (and Djokovic-Schwartzman) happens on Monday the 16th, the day after the two London 2020 Group matches. It's a rematch of their Paris Masters encounter just a week ago, where Medvedev won 5-7 6-4 6-1 to take the championship. Think it'll be the same as before, or will Zedzilla turn...

We're headed into that time of the year now. With the ATP Finals just ahead of us, it's time for another dirt-flinging contest with regards to the tournament. Quite simply, who had the best run at the YEC? You can use whatever metric you want, such as highest level of play, most dramatic win...

After a long battle with pancreatic cancer, Alex Trebek passed away this morning at age 80. Sad news indeed, but he was an amazing television personality. I tip my hat to him and his career. We’ll miss him...

Title says it all. His recent 4-6 2-6 loss to Struff at the Paris Masters caps off a very disappointing losing streak (assuming he doesn't play any other events like Sofia). Not good at all. If we reach back to before the tour shut down, we're looking at a losing streak of 0-9 matches and 0-20...

What’s a match you can think of that doesn’t look great statistically (for example, high error rates, low serve percentages) but one that you think is actually quite better than the stats might suggest to someone who hasn’t seen the match before? Or one that looks good on the stat sheets but...

It can be by level of play, strength of opposition, drama (as if this ever happens at RG, lol), or simply your favorites to watch. Of course, I'd like if you could specify what kind of list you're making.

Or at least he WOULD be in this CRAPOLA field. Dominic "hit the ball five feet wide" Thiem who bends over at the first sight of his daddy Nadal, Tsitsipas who can't even go 5 SHOTS without shanking a ball to the stands, Medvedev who is utterly CLUELESS on the dirt and on any surface since a...

A potentially thrilling nailbiter between one of the true titans of the sport and Novak Djokovic, one of the dark horses for the title. Take your picks.

For the sake of argument, let's leave out Fed's blue clay title in 2012. Tough to compare. Hamburg, for the uninitiated, is the clay Masters that held a role as one of the three clay Masters up until 2009, when it was demoted to a 500 and Madrid switched to clay and took over it's slot. Fed won...

World number 1 vs. giant slayer in the Rome finals. Who ya got? Hoping for a good one.

Fed: 8 Dubai titles, 10 Halle titles, 7 Cincy titles, 10 Basel titles —> 25 Slams Ned: 1 Dubai title, 0 Halle titles, 1 Cincy title, 0 Basel titles —> 2 Slams Noel: 5 Dubai titles, 0 Halle titles, 2 Cincy titles, 1 Basel title —> 8 Slams Very troubling, no?

Inspired by the recent turn of events (though congrats to Thiem for finally hanging in), I was wondering what might be the worst Slam run of all time. What was the worst anyone has ever played yet still managed to win the Slam in the end? I don't mean just finals, for those who are eager to...

Title says it all. What’s the worst Slam tournament you’ve ever had the misfortune of watching? Maybe you hated the matches, maybe you hated the winner, or maybe because of a reduced field? Some contenders might be USO 2016 and 2017, and AO 2018. What others failed to impress you or even keep...

Some very interesting, contentious, and questionable selections here (along with plenty of good ones as well). The selections: What are your lists (and play by the same rules as the video -- only ATP-level events)? From those missing in the video, I'd pick Hamburg 2002 QF and F, Hamburg...

Thread idea inspired by a comment from @Lleytonstation The forum was created in 2004 so many of the threads in GPPD are predictably about Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. What would the threads in GPPD look like in the 90’s and early 2000’s if TTW has existed at that point? Sampras GOAT debates...

I suppose now would be a good time for some uplifting news, no matter how small it may be. As many of you may be aware, the USO decided to not hold wheelchair tournaments while still holding the men’s and women’s singles and doubles tournaments. Well, they’re back now after the decision was met...

A companion thread to Lew’s. Interested to see how this one would turn out. Take a well-playing Fed in 2003-2007 and see how well he does against Nadal in this time frame. 2011 W 2011 USO 2012 AO 2012 RG 2013 RG 2013 USO 2014 RG 2015 RG Let the rioting ensue.

He only has two doubles Slams. True ATGs like the Bryan Brothers have about 8 times as many Slams. Sure, you can say that he has five mixed doubles Slams, but let’s be honest. Mixed doubles is a completely different branch of tennis than regular doubles. Also, he only has four Masters. Come on...

I was inspired by the discussion of good / bad sets in the AO 2009 final to make this thread. Simply put, create your own favorite five-set match using your favorite sets from different matches. For example, put your favorite first set in the first set slot, your favorite second set in the...

Nadal and Davydenko playing a great CC match at Rome 2007. Some of the rallies are amazing. Enjoy! Also, 11:11 is one of the smoothest droppers I've seen.

It's in the thread title. A real blockbuster hypothetical! Discuss/disgust.

I have a few issues with the guy. He seems like a brainless ballbasher on the court. But his off-court persona has always impressed me. He comes across as pleasant, chill, and innocent. In addition, the purported "nice guy" mode just puts him in a brighter light. Yet, on TTW it seems like a...

Featuring Serena, Osaka, Nishikori, and Sharapova along with others.
