    What happened to tennis in Finland?

    Watch out for Otto Virtanen. He just broke into top 100. Guy has serious upside but is still very inconsistent. I love watching him play, very effortless in a good, but sometimes bad way.

    Novak's 98 titles are heavier than Roger's 103 titles

    Master's 1000 ain't a big title..

    What is the main reason why the big three in terms of curriculum have created a clear gap with the rest of the history of tennis?

    One thing that is often overlooked is that their personal lives have been extremely stable and their families have been heavily invested in their careers. That is the greatest superpower a man can have. Big 3 didn't lose energy and focus on dating or relationship drama unlike many other talented...

    Six kings video angle

    Man, Saudis have way too much money.. This tournament has ridiculous prize money and probably appearance fees as well, yet there are no spectators which means they will make no money off of it. The TV coverage is dog s*** too. It's pretty disturbing actually.

    THE MIGHTY PRO STAFF 90 THREAD

    My search for a K90 replacement is over. I fiddled around with a bunch of racquets. Wilson PS95, PS97 and Blade with both string patterns, an older Head Prestige with a thin beam. Have played with Babolats and Yonexes in the past too. I ended up giving up trying to find a new one because I...

    ATP has apparently reverted to pre-COVID towel rules

    Why should players be allowed to wipe sweat after each point? They can do that during the changeover. Use sweatbands if you need to.

    Roger Federer speaks about Novak Djokovic

    It's a clever move from Roger. He is implying that Novak's records are meaningless, which is somewhat true. Roger is the greatest according to most people, and that's all that matters in the end. I mean, I seriously hope you guys don't unironically think Novak is greater than Roger. For the...

    Matches you feel that have diminished historically over time

    True, it's such an underwhelming one to begin with that there's nothing to diminish.

    Djokovic treated at medical center, possible concussion after bottle incident

    Lol, that's no concussion. If you've ever headed a football it's way bigger impact.

    Djokovic catches legendary Federer.....again! 5 time Laureus Sportsman of the year

    Congrats Djoker. Federer first to 20 Slam and 5 Sportsman of the year awards. List goes on.. First one is always more more difficult to achieve. So I don't know about "catching" Federer. Maybe in numbers but not in terms of legendarity. But he's getting there.. give it a few years.. oh wait...

    Want to see how close the slam race actually was?

    Djokovic = reckless tennis

    Definitive proof that Djokovic doesn't care about the Olympics.

    His hardcore nationalist image may be just a facade. Remember back in 00's he was in talks with the British association to start representing them instead of Serbia.

    ON clothing for tennis

    Am I the only one who actually likes the look of these? Shelton with the black and pink combination looked great.

    Tommy Paul: The Most Forgettable Face in Tennis?

    He has that generic 25% English, 25% Irish, 25% German, 24.99% Italian and 0.01% Native American looking face.

    Daniil Medevedev openly mocking Holger Rune

    Rune lifting his shorts is an obscene gesture. This was a well deserved mockery.

    Australian Open SF: Novak Djokovic vs. Jannik Sinner

    I like his patience to defend and then to attack when the opportunity arises. He's not erratic like Alcaraz but instead has the will to defend and grind out points.

    What’s wrong with what Rafa said about Federer v Djokovic?

    This statement by Novak was clearly to undermine Federer, not to praise Nadal.

    THE MIGHTY PRO STAFF 90 THREAD

    Been on a journey since the summer to find a new stick. Playing against some really spinny opponents on clay was extremely frustrating with the K90. I've tested out multiple racquets, but haven't fallen in love yet. I've tried some of the bigger 16x19 racquets. They have a ridiculous launch...

    When'd 'You Jump Ship?

    I'm quietly following guys guys like Shelton and Sinner and watching old Fed matches on TennisTV and YouTube to cope. What some people get wrong is thinking Federer fans followed Federer for his success only. For someone like me who has played tennis semi competitively as a junior and still...
