Djokovic has only Australian Open 2025 and Wimbledon 2025 as his last chance to prove that he's got it.
If he wins either of those, he will give 2026 another go.
If he doesn't, he retires at the end of 2025.
100% in agreement.
It's like when people were screaming at the Nordea Swedish Open this year when they gave Leo Borg at this open for his opening round match vs Nadal due to Nepotism (exact same way as Cruz Hewitt).
However, it's all about selling out arenas first and foremost and yes Cruz...
Here's the thing with him: I thought he was a great player before the doping scandal but boring personality.
The doping scandal made me furious initially and I thought to myself that I would never root for the guy ever again.
However I did like how he conducted himself facing a flock of...
We've certainly come a long way from being banned to 8 years to just a few measly months 20 years later.
The system was more strict back then.
Now it's about protecting the Elite Players for their wrongdoings.
If Nishikori or Raonic would win a title in 2025, I'm sure either of them would have a record for longest drought since neither has won anything since 2016.
Alcaraz has only himself to blame to lose the second set vs Ruud.
That could be the total difference from advancing in the Semi Finals even if he beats Zverev on Friday.
This guy is a complete psychopath.
How does this guy have any fans is beyond me.
Might sound extremely rude but I hope he doesn't win anything from that point forward as we don't need mentally deranged tennis players on court.
Of course not but my point was Hewitt looked solid until the Finals and Draper looked solid until the Semi Finals but Federer and Sinner were the overwhelming favorites even though Hewitt and Draper spent very little time on the Court.
Perhaps but Jack Draper also didn't a drop a Set to the US Open Semifinals and some even though an upset was in the cards.
That didn't matter much now did it? :)
Get Goran, Becker or even Vadja and he would have a glimpse of Djokovic's full team in his peak/prime era.
But Sinner seems to have too much pride for Cahill that I doubt he'll get rid of him.
Nadal would need a creampuff draw fom the Heavens to even be in the second week of RG (Lucky Losers, Wildcards).
Once he meets a Top 30 Player, he will lose no matter who it is.
Zhang is a beautiful woman in your and my respective eyes.
But in terms of Global scale knowing who she would be up against, she doesn't stand a chance to get endorsements for being a Supermodel.
She's at best a 7/10 and these models they endorse are either a 9 or 10/10.
It was 750 at the time. More than 500 and less than a Masters.
I think Olympics should be valued at 1500 IMO (less than a Major but more than any Masters).
It's ironic how Pegula failed to serve both times in the 2nd Set to push to a 3rd set, Fritz failed to serve both times in 3rd Set to push to a 4th set.
Congratulations on your second Slam Sinner.
Serena had probably the biggest mental strength of any WTA Players ever seen.
Sabalenka while not a mental midget, blew soo many opportunities already (Gauff US Open last year, Muchova RG last year as examples).
She should of already had a better resume than she currently has.
I would be...
100% correct.
ATP, the US Moderators, the Commentators are basically reminding whoever that's still feeling uneasy about it to turn the page and move on. Nothing else will be done at this point.
I was a 6/10 before as his tennis being one dimensional and his personality was flatter than a pancake.
Now with the doping scandal even though it begs the question who else does it, I'm less of a fan since ATP will do anything to protect their golden goose (Alcaraz, Sinner mostly).
Muchova had the right mindset to beat Pegula.
However, she missed many slices, half volleys and overheads.
It all boils down to: execution and consistency.
Had she made the majority of those, she would of won hands down.
I never heard anyone speak anything bad about her.
If anything, it's on TTW where she's badly spoken due to underperforming in Majors (that might change soon).
One definately has a humble approach to life and seems well respected everywhere she goes.
The other one seems to hold grudges, incredibly sore when losing a match in a winning position and does not have a likable personality.
Funny how both are rich and successful but totally different...
There might be some truth to this but the fact still remains that Tennis American women (with the exception of Pegula) acted in a despicable way.
I still believe Navarro holds a grudge vs Zheng that should be put to rest at this point.
I'm really glad that none of them got any medals...
Navarro could of easily said, it was the Heat in the moment but now the past is the past.
The fact she still re-iterates that Zheng was disrespectful for virtually no reason at this point, strikes me that Navarro is a Major sore loser.
Did Navarro ignored the racism that Zheng was allegedly...
