    Novak's 17 consecutive finals in Grand Slams/Year End/ATP Masters 1000 is insane

    Really not important how we call this streak. Everyone who follows tennis and is on this forum knows that by consecutive we mean those he played, btw it was only Madrid and people overreacting here like he skipped 5 from 15 or so. Yes if we want to be 100% correct than we should say those he...

    Do you really consider the Grand Slams to be of equal value?

    1st i consider myselt RG more important than USO... because there are 2HC slams. 2nd - yes AO was seen for decades as the last less important slam, but this days when all4 matters and AO is 1st in calendar with everyone strong after off-season and healthy AO is alwas considered the best slam...

    Ok.We Fed fans let's be honest about Djokovic...

    It is hard to say if Nole took more slams from Roger or Rafa, but there is this what IF - if there was no Nole in 2011 - Rafa might have won almost every slam in 2010-2013 period - surpassng Roger and breaking him mentally - himself being super confident. Who knows maybe Roger could have...

    Admit it. Federer was never this much dominant

    My point was he is the man to beat - at start of Dubai he is favorit to win the title and even in matches vs Roger i believe since he is No.1 in all his Dubai encounters with Roger he was bookie favorites. He is No.1 favorit at every tournament he enters - while Roger wasn´t with Nadal around...

    Is Djokovic the most popular guy in the locker room?

    Well he is definitely one of the most popular guys on ATP tour, no doubt about it - no matter what Simon said - even if that´s true - it has nothing to do with off-court relationships. From what i know and have seen, Nole is on friendly terms with every ex-Yugo players - including those with...

    Admit it. Federer was never this much dominant

    Actually i see the biggest difference in term of real challenge. While Nole and Roger both in their best seasons were dominant - Roger 2004-07 and Nole 2011 and 2015 the difference is when Nole is dominating there is nobody as good as him - you need someone to really play at 100% to take him...

    The speeches have become ridiculous!

    Speeches are o.k. If you don´t like them than don´t listen to them. We are in 2016 - there is no chance for guys like McEnroe anymore being No.1 - even guy like Kyrgios if he eventually will become No.1 - he will not be the same arrogant brat like now. - It´s all about marketing Sponsors...

    Nadal will finish with more Slams than Djokovic. Do you agree?

    Actually i believe equal number is good chance - i would say ike this - Nadal ending up with 14- 95% chance. 15- 5% Novak - 12 - 5% Novak - 13 - 20% Novak - 14 - 40% Novak 15 - 30% Novak 16 and more - 5%

    Realistically, where do you see Novak ending up now in the history books?

    Top 3 - with 14-15 slams. Probably won´t surpass Federer so can be No.2 on paper, but many still talk about Laver so even if we assume he si greater - top 3. He will surpass Nadal - at this moment it´slike 80% chance i would say - probably he would need only 13 slams to equal him with all...

    Greatest Serves of All Time

    Agree with you on ace-per match being very misleading statistic i have said also multiple times here and on other tennis forum why so bad it is. I personally use ace-per serve stats - but also to many factors like who are big servers facing - guys like Lopez or Rochus are easy to ace why vs Andy...

    Greatest Serves of All Time

    Have to ask - this updates you are doing all the time it´s based on how other posters say - rank their best servers? or what does it mean update my list all the time? thanks btw how can be Isner No.9? i won´t argue that Isner and Karlovic should be top 2 on any list, but let´s say not top 2...

    Best Current Male Server Under 6 Feet

    how mentioned by others - Kohli, Dolgo, Becker Best is probably Dolgo - at good day he is painting the lines - a lot of unreturnable serves there, but his serve is erratic and in many matches his FS% is really low , in mid 40s sometimes and 2nd isn´t exactly best, so those 3 are clearly best...

    Fed Sells. Djok does not sell.

    Can agree with Federer part - guy is PR machine, and his sponsors are really upper class - he has this image around him, while Nadal and Nole are more ,,regular,, having deals with mass market brands - RAfa has deals with KIA, Mapfre, Banco Sabadell, Telefonica - normal companies trying to get...

    In 2016 Rafa Nadal + Nike = NO MORE!

    I don´t know if OP was serious, haven´t read others posts. I doubt he will go to JOMA. 1stly i doubt they can make proffit on NAdal - his contract would be huge and they would need to 2x their store numbers or so to get even stuff to stores so people might buy it. NIKE has no interest to drop...

    Fed Sells. Djok does not sell.

    Not sure how was it between Murray and Adidas if he went for better deal with Under Armour, because Adidas was offering less - based on his form that year - so not sure here, my point was about how they traded Novak for Andy back than in 2009 - which was stupid move from Adidas. Novak´s clothers...

    Fed Sells. Djok does not sell.

    Thanks i didn´t have time to look for numbers i was correct in my post 31 to 28 and Roger far ahead of them. Must be said this is just estimate from Forbes so it can be few millions off, but i assume not more so let´s say Novak 28-34 maybe is right number, Nadal 25-30 Anyway if we take those 31...

    Fed Sells. Djok does not sell.

    I have written this in other thread, Novak is actually closing in to Nadal and it´s just matter of time, when he will surpass him in endorsements. Roger is at another level and most likely will stay there until his career is over, maybe beyond, Novak won´t rival Roger in endorsements, but he can...

    Why Karlovic and Isner serve are a better server than Sampras

    Only 55.65% users here voted YES - this is just pathetic Ivo and John are easily 2 best servers ever in the game, yet there are people who would even claim Roger is better server than those guys. Worshipping to much. Sampras was amazing player, but he himself said multiple times Goran was...

    Federer: Earns most money via endorsements of any sportsperson in the world, why?

    I check this Forbes rankings each year - top 100 richest athletes, top 10 best paid tennis players - those 2 rankings are always the same which goes for tennis players, they used to do it for july-june this time it´s from 1st June to 1st June 2014-2015 . As Novak fan i am really happy that...

    Interesting new serving stats from the ATP.

    Interresting this is 2015 ATP tour events not counting AO right? it´s to soon, maybe in july if we look at this it would be more meaningfull, btw Lajovic and Belluci and those gyus played South America clay events so hard to compare their stats with guys playing US HC or EUR indoor HC events...

    Agassi: I would be happy if Serena breaks Steffi's Record

    This is just sad. Unless he is divorcing her or hates her there is no excuse for what he said, i mean she is his wife, best ever in her sport and he says oh it´s o.k if someone broke my wife´s record, no problem i would be delightet to see that - i mean who normal would say this? All those...

    Nadal: "I Want to Become the Greatest of All Time"

    1st time he ever he said something like that, until now it was always the same in his best years coming to RG when somebody asked him if he is favorit he said i don´t think so i must play my best tennis to have a chance and such BS, now finally he admits - with his career resume it would be...

    [rules] both-sided walkover/retire?

    Obviously it can´t happen during match,b ecause one player retires 1st so the 2nd player even injured wins that match, but i can see scenario before match- like before QF or something both played long 5 setter - 3 setter depending if slam or regular ATP tournament, both have some injury, so...

    ATP top 25 serve to height comparison

    OP good work But i must say that i use for myself serve stats and ace-per service game is not accurate - still far better than media used ace - per match - which is very misleading statisic, anyway ace-per service game is also joke with some guys playing a lot of tie-breaks- which are not...

    top 100 ATP players are sponsored by 31 different clothing companies

    Honestly not sure if players outisde let´s say 70, 80 are all ,,sponsored,, i remember Bartoli few years back not having sponsor and just buyng Nike stuff in shops, so i think some lower ranked gyus are doing the same, nice example is Ivo - playing in Adidas t-shirt, but also i think it was...

    In which language does Federer communicate with Stan?

    French for sure BTW not sure if Stan even speaks german and if he speaks than probably standard german what is learned in swiss schools, probably he doesn´t understand spoken Swiss german someone with info on this topic? He must have learned it in school, but haven´t heard him speaking german ever

    How many masters do you think Murray will win this year?

    Not only you got it wrong it´s Kyrgios, but last year he schooled him in easy 2 sets in Canada it was i believe - Kyrgios is not top player like Dimitrov or Berdych so don ´t mention him with those 2 guys, yes he is playing better but it´s not like last year he was outside top 50... probably...

    Is Djokovic a bigger nemesis for Murray than Nadal is for Federer?

    No, Rafa has match-up advantage and age advantage over Roger Novak-Andy are the same age wise and game wise they play similar style with Novak being more agressive one, but honestly only difference is Andy is mentally weak, that´sall, there is no reason he is at least not as succesfull as...
