    How many more slams is Djokovic going to win?

    Potentially one more, either at '25 AO or W. At 37.5 to 38 years old, that seems like a tall order.

    A Player that you flipped on?

    1. Murray. He was just grumpy, always yelling at his box. He's still grumpy, lol, but I've grown to appreciate his humor, and it's clear how much he loves the sport, despite his mood on the court. 2. Hingis. I liked her variety and crafty game, but things started going downhill with me at the...

    Djokovic hinting that 2025 will be his last year on tour?

    He was saying a few months ago he wants to play into his 40s like Tom Brady. When he starts losing early in slams, he'll retire.

    And the best player who never won a slam is…

    Nalbandian probably most talented to not win one, but a total headcase. Feel like Philippoussis deserves a mention. Two slam finals and same number of titles as Nalbandian, but had a lot of injuries.

    If a Biopic is made on lives of the Big 3, which one has the most potential to be the biggest?

    Honestly, an Agassi biopic would have the most potential. Overbearing father, childhood prodigy, high school dropout, "Image is everything era," rivalry with Sampras (complete with contrasting styles/temperaments), meth, falling out of the top 100, dating/marrying/divorcing Hollywood stars...

    Andre Agassi : I thought Federer was a 'bad Pete Sampras' when he first played him!

    Eh, Andre is always putting his foot in this mouth. I agree though it was amazing to watch Fed grow and evolve. Andre is the reason I started watching tennis, so I will always have some fondness for him. Watching him clay his way back to the top in the late 1990s was really emotional. His...

    Jennifer Capriati's near misses at the US Open (her home-town tournament)

    It's a shame she never made a US open final. I was especially gutted for her after the loss to Henin, which is still one of the best women's matches I've seen.

    "I can see a Federer Nadal final at Wimbledon".

    It'd be great to see them play the final (on the 10th anniversary of the '08 match!) I don't have much hope for Rafa, though. He was playing better last year, and even admitted he had hope for a deep run), and still lost early. Of course, no harm in him making a go at it. With this flop...

    Better Season: Nadal's 2015 or 2016?

    Both were depressing. But I'll go with 2016. The gold medal in dubs was a nice moment, and he won Monte Carlo (I was seriously doubting whether he'd even win a masters again).

    Rafael Nadal withdraws from Queens

    He was never going to play Queens. Or at best, he would show up and tank his first match. No point. I think he will play Wimbledon, but this might be his last year.

    Andre Agassi says there is no real friendship between Federer and Nadal

    I don't think they're friends, but I think they're friendly. They seemed pretty chummy at the Laver Cup last year. Since they're older, maybe they appreciate their rivalry more and what it meant to tennis. On the other hand, clearly there's no love lost between Sampras/Agassi. In his book...

    Rafael Nadal unsure whether he will defend French Open title in 2019

    Rafa has given more of himself to this sport than perhaps any other player. He was a teenage phenom, and is still winning slams at age 32. The mental and physical grind of the tour cannot be underestimated. Just look at Djokovic, who is on a 2-year mental walkabout. Rafa knows he is inching...

    Top 10 Women Gran Slam Matches

    This was the first one to come to mind. Capriati so desperately wanted to win her home slam, and this was probably her best chance. Henin was cramping up at the end of the last set and still managed to pull out the win. Great match. Another - Capriati d. Hingis, 2002 AO Final. 4–6, 7–6...

    Players who had one freak glory year.

    How about Anastasia Myskina in 2004? Won the French, plus titles in Doha and Moscow and helped lead Russia to a Fed Cup win. Results tapered off in '05 and especially '06, had a baby, and hasn't played since.

    What are some unique abilities that Andy Murray has, which the other 'big four' members don't?

    Besides the lob and return of serve, I actually think his physique is the most suitable for tennis among the four of them.

    Whose your least favourite active player?

    Berdych. An arrogant tool, with very few results. And of course Tomic.

    Who would win in fist fight?

    I don't know why everyone is picking Agassi over Nalbandian. Nalbandian is one dude I'd never want to meet in a dark alley.

    WTF or Olympics?

    In terms of tennis, WTF probably. As a Rafa fan, it is absolutely the biggest blemish on his resume. For casual sports fans, patriotism, etc, the Olympics. The Olympics obviously mean a lot to several players, like the Williams sisters and Murray. Agassi is the only player to win all 4...

    Most heartbreaking losses of ATG?

    Fed - AO '09. I can see why some would say Wimby '08, but after '07, I just felt like it was a matter of time before Rafa won. Rafa - AO '14. AO '12 would have been a tough loss for either player (because the level in that match was insane), but AO '14 felt like the one that got away. Rafa...

    More Likely Scenario: Nadal Passes Fed or Djokovic Passes Nadal?

    Neither. Rafa needed to win the AO this year to have a real shot at over taking Fed. Novak has a slight chance, but he needs to go on a tear again like 2015-2016. Unlikely, in my opinion.

    Congratulations to Rafa

    When Rafa was stuck at 14 for awhile, I seriously doubted whether he'd when another major again. Especially outside of the French. Now he's bagged two more. In the end, never count him out. Mark of a champion.
