You did it! You played a whole tournament with an aggressive gameplan, a solid serve, and, most importantly, with a good attitude - and you won! And you did it against the toughest opponents, too. I've got to say, after a week of watching Murray practice and some of his matches, he's...

I see a lot of threads dedicated to individual players being injured at the moment and withdrawing from whatever tournament they are participating in this week and, ultimately, the 2010 Australian Open. So, I figured let's merge it all into one thread? Confirmed Withdrawals Gilles Simon -...

Here's the ATP stats on Evgeny Korolev has a great future. He's got a great serve, killer backhand, and a great offensive all-court game. He excels indoors on hardcourts and carpets (on the challenger tour), but is also a competent claycourter. He's won 4 challengers on carpet (including 1...

I know I'm not the biggest Murray fan on these boards, but I'll try to make this objective as possible. Murray was quoted as saying this: "Those people who are still asking questions about my game – I'm not sure how to answer them," he says. "What is it I need to do to prove that I can...

Who's going to win this match? The H2H is 4-3 in the favor of Nadal Davydenko leads the hardcourt H2H 3-1 (Nadal's sole win coming in their only indoor match- in 2006 at the Master's Cup)

This is the first match on Monday for Group B. Who's going to win in this re-match of the 4th round match at Roland Garros? I think you will all find the poll very balanced and fair :)

Roger Federer announced his 2010 schedule via his website. He’s planning to play 18 tournaments and “hopefully” the season ending championships in London. Roger Federer’s 2010 Schedule: (tournament starting dates noted) December 31: Capitala World Tennis Championship, Abu Dhabi (exhibition)...

Hey, everyone! I was bored so I made a little chart to see how the rankings are going to look for the ATP after the USO. The result of the USO didn't affect the standings for the two finalists - Fed is #1 and Del Potro is #5. Here's the rankings after the USO...

Ok, so some Murray fans claim that Federer, pre-2003, was hyped up in the same vain that Murray is hyped up to win a grand slam. The idea is that Federer was tipped as a slam favorite before he ever won Wimbledon and was predicted as a future multiple slam winner and world #1. So the question...

Hey guys, As you know, Nadal beat Monfils today. After the match Cahill, while interviewing Rafa on the court, told him that he is back to #2 in the world due to Murray's 4th round loss. However, I did the math and Nadal (assuming he loses next round) is still 5 points short of Murray's point...

This is inspired by TheMagicianofPrecision's thread "Roger Federer vs. Roger Federer" Which version of Roger Federer, throughout the years, do you think would win in an 8 person knockout tournament composed entirely of Roger Federers from 2002 to 2009? I think it would be 2004 Federer and 2006...

Hello, posters and fellow Canucks! I just thought I'd start a thread to keep track of Canadian progress at the Canada Masters/Rogers Cup in Montreal currently ongoing. We've got 2 Canadians in the second round, so far, and the first Canadian player to qualify for the main draw since 1988...

Hey everyone! Looks like Novak Djokovic and Marko Djokovic are playing the 2009 ATP Studena Croatia Open Umag Doubles tournament. Neither of them is playing the singles tournament, which is strange (in Novak's case, especially), but it should be interesting to see how well they do anyways...

Does anyone else notice Mary Carillo says some really lame things? I'll start it off "RF usually stands for Roger Federer, but today it'll stand for Roof Federer... because he's playing under the roof" - Carillo, on Federer playing under a roof. "He's going to cry so much that roof won't...

I just thought that he deserves his own thread for the French Open. I'm not a Davytard (new breed:??) or anything, but I appreciate his game and think that if any should be filling Nadal's big shoes in the top half of the draw, it should be Kolya! He's #11 in the world at the moment, but...

Simple, Hockey Fans. Whos' going to take it? My vote is Detroit in 6 (just like last year, finishing it off in Pittsburg). I did not add the option, in the poll, for Pittsburg in 4 games because I created this thread after game 1. Detroit currently leads in the series, 2-0 (3-1, 3-1). Game 3...

We've all heard the argument that the grass surface played at Wimbledon has slowed down in recent years. The argument goes that since 2002, Wimbledon has played significantly slower. Some people argue that not only is Wimbledon slower than it used to be, but that it's grass surface is one of the...
