I thought this poster was banned years back

well at least I know Volandri's not in the top 50... and yes I was unsure about the serve because I indeed don't know a lot about most of the players ranked past 26. as an aside karlovic's forehand is actually quite inconsistent, i'm surprised nobody has mentioned his forehand instead of...

I've heard that Federer is actually one of the nicest guys on tour, and I've always been a big fan of him. So him.

Santiago Giraldo's returns are absurd. Will never understand why more guys don't just go for broke more often on serves. A lot of guys seem to do it the first point when they're up 40-0 or 40-15 break points (Karlovic just did it against Fed today to break), and of course we all remember...

Maybe Raonic looks one-dimensional to you, but I guarantee you he moves better and is more consistent than just about any of those "great players" you speak of. It's like if you watch basketball, some of the bench guys seem like scrubs who can do nothing but I guarantee they would run any pickup...

In every metric other than # of Slam wins, Roger has outperformed Nadal.

Sorry I meant current top 50 (so no Rochus). I like how you split Health into knees/back/wrist lol

Personally I really enjoy watching him play. Although his ground game is flat out ugly now that he's 35+ and can barely jog, his serve is a thing of beauty.

Only allowed to use attributes from top 50 pros. I'll start: 1st serve: David Ferrer? 2nd serve: ...David Ferrer? Forehand: Unsure Backhand: Ivo Karlovic Volleys: Unsure Footwork: Ivo Karlovic Stamina: Unsure Mental: Gael Monfils Health (sorry, Rafa): Rafael Nadal Also what rating you think...

Also if anyone still disagrees that Dr. Ivo's 1st serve is the best ever, I invite you to watch a full replay of his match today in Basel (no spoilers, it's not even ended yet)

wrist watch lol

He should hit top 5. Remember, Ferrer and Wawrinka have both been #3, and both are exceptional players but not all-time greats. I can also see #2. I just don't think he's got the talent to be #1.

Assuming he is trying to win every single point, anyone who doesn't say 0 is delusional. He's not going to double fault against you because he's not going to need to go for that much on second serves. I think the best strategy is actually to aim for the net poles every time if a ball is still...

I think he'll win all of them up to 2016, maybe with another slam thrown in, and 2017 RG will be his last major appearance when a 33-year-old Soderling beats him in the 4th round

Why isn't Cilic included in the "current young guns?" Also, Thiem is there twice.

Ivo undoubtedly has the best 1st serve out of anyone. Isner's 2nd serve is much better however, but I don't know enough to say it's the best of all time. I think it is as I can't think of any better. This is about SERVE alone not service game (rest of the points) of course.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for.

Anyone know where I could watch a longer highlights video (i.e. more than 1 minute) of Kyrgios-Nadal? Or preferably even the full match?

Why did this close already?

Ferrer finally gets his Masters. Very happy for him.

And 7-0 in the tiebreak set after the bagel set.

Actually, he's older than Nadal.

I would love just to reach #803 in the rankings. I never even got to the top 1000 in the US juniors...

Nadal will definitely win another AO.

I voted Gasquet but I'd actually say it's a wash. When you factor in Fed's BH slice which is probably the best in the world that more than makes up for any differences in their BH drive.

Why doesn't Fed ever play this tournament? It's an ATP 500 on indoor hard courts, which is Fed's best setting. Does it conflict with something else?

Year-end is pretty irrelevant compared to weeks.

A weaker era huh? Then why is it that 31 year old Fed still dominated 25 year old Djokovic and Murray at Wimbledon?

What do you mean they "shouldn't" list the scores? Why is it wrong to provide more information?

That's a cool stat. And yes, this year was one of the most fun years to watch tennis. Who says this era is weak?
