Thanks for the info, and the other poster who also pointed it out. PM certainly went far with that money. He will be selling lessons at his academy off the back of Serena for some time to come.

I would agree. I like Venus' side eye here. She is a wise one.

Oh that's a complicated one. What do you think about it?

I don't think Tsitsipas and Zverev are anywhere near the level of Dimitrov, Berrettini, Fognini or Fucsovics.

It's all about the connection with the coaches and players. A great coach and a great player means nothing if they don't have that personal chemistry. It's either there or it isn't. If the connection is there between the top coaches and the top players, bang- magic can happen. We know PM and...

Yeah, I mean you don't need or get a higher profile gig than Serena. Charlatan is a great term!

Federer- I think he has the least to regret. There is not much you can do in tennis if the match up is not in your favor. However, he will regret 40-15, and rightfully so. He may regret not sticking to his game plan more in some of the big finals vs Nadal and getting lured into baseline rallies...

Wikipedia says he opened his academy back in 1996 and he coached Baghdatis to the 2006 AO final. Not sure if he came from money or how he managed to open an academy when he was 26.

He'll be flying under the radar, on purpose. Hoping the bad publicity blows over. Which it won't; not in the age of social media. He'll forever be a pariah and it'll be a nightmare for tennis if he wins a slam. Which he won't.

Nothing Federer does is underrated.

He has to. I am sure his negotiations with uniqlo mandated he stayed until Tokyo Olympics.

Why the shouting! Lol. She won't stop then. Needs to shift 30lbs and get back that mental strength.

How could he have slams he was DQed from and which never took place? I don't get it. I get he could have won a slam in which say he was leading 2-0 in the final and then he got injured or fell ill. Yeah, he could have won it being that close. Or maybe he could have won it if he held championship...

I couldn't work out a lot of that poll- it's late here!- but I would say: First four rounds by 2023 All of it by 2028. I think it'll come soon. It always comes up at the slams as a discussion point by the journos. It makes sense, too, financially- bring in more fans, get matches out the way...

No one came close, but Fritz was the least furthest away.

5.5 rounded up to 6 for Tsisty Vs Nadal. 6 is not very good. Even USO 2017 got a 7 from me.

That is very cool. It makes sense, too. It's pretty dire that the champs get so much and the lower ranked guys so little. Too much like the real world!

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I think other slam champs have won the tournament with injuries, I might research who is documented. Sampras and Graf come to mind.

Djokovic was mentally weak in those matches. Probably no Big 3er has played a mentally weaker slam final than Djoker at Wimbledon '13.

So hyped performance beats actual performance? We can't say Meddy is weak, which he was, because we hyped him to be great, which was, er, hype? Interesting.

I'll buy the Wimbledon one, even though we can't know he would have won it. That was out of Nole's control. But I'm not buying the DQ. That's all on him, no asterisk there.

Yes.

He needs more USO titles to be hard court goat. Needs to at least level with Nadal there. It's only one more title so doable.

The Wimbledon argument I get. But not the DQ. That was not fate; that was just Djokovic's stupidity.

Nadal has a nice slam h2h vs his main rivals so I can see why non Nadalers would find that stat....questionable.

On the plus side, I could not not have handled a close but no cigar Meddy performance. I'm still furious at Thiem for last year!

What insight is Mischa offering? I feel like he's saying obvious things.

Lol eurosport making us listen to Daniil's words on Djoker. Tennis media is thinking we need to make people love Nole if he's gonna be GOAT!

Djoker kept it short and sweet.

Meddy, no tears, no nonsense. Great perspective on life and tennis. He'll be back and getting his hard court slams when it's time.
