Kralingen, RS, Thank you!

Why couldn't nadal ever even GET to Federer @ US Open during the FIVE years Federer won both Open and Wimbledon?

If you feel uncomfortable from mere words on a sign, imagine how uncomfortable certain unarmed people felt when being beaten or killed by police on video. And how their families felt/feel as a result.

To those who consider tennis "trivial", maybe consider there are a significant number of people who have spent their entire lives developing their skills so that they may in fact make tennis their PROFESSION. Tennis may appear "trivial" to message board guys and non-players such as yourselves...

Is there anything tennis-related someone on these boards won't complain about? All these indignant individuals..."why I never." If you don't like the set up for the US Open/French back to back, then don't watch or follow it. A simple solution to a non-problem. For the rest of us fans of...

One vote for the backhand owned by the man with most grand slams, most grand slam finals, (10 consecutive!) and then (another 8 consecutive!) most weeks at #1, most hardcourt and grass titles, 6 WTF's and who made all four grand slam finals 3 separate years. Among other things... The shot is...

Why are cigarettes so popular?

Let's also ban boring, left-handed spaniards who hit the ball twenty-five feet over the net and short, and just run around on clay.

NRG2 NRG2 NRG2... If only it would last an hour

Good for Brown sticking up for himself. Horribly late call and the umpire did nothing.

It's obvious the OP is an Aquarius and we all know what that means...

Berdych (by far) over the rest Nishikori Dimitrov Tsonga Raonic

How can anyone seriously put a WTA backhand over an ATP one? Absolutely insane. Would love to see Henin try and play just one return game against an ATP or college guy with that shot. Hammered, plain and simple. The old guys who are saying players with wood racquets have the best ever one...

Can someone please explain? How do the heavy spin, brush-up, loopy, short-angle, western grip guys get credited with being great ball strikers? They can be great players, but they're not ball strikers, not in the professional sense. It's usually always the cold weather, indoor, fast court...

Zeballos def Nadal (2013 Vina del Mar)...in a clay final! bamos!

Can't say the biggest of all time of course, but a significant one: Gilles Muller def Roddick 1st Rd. US Open 2005 Big because of the Amex campaign about Andy's Mojo

Federer Soderling Verdasco Berdych Del Potro Honorable mention: Agassi, Kyrgios and Dolgopolov. Of course the old time guys like Lendl and Courier had amazing FH's. But they would be average by today's standards. Agassi gets the nod because he is unique from that generation by taking the ball...

Andre, hands down. Both as a stand alone shot, and in the context of his overall game/career. There has to be some kind of respect given to one of the all time greats who spanned many generations and won major titles.

Ok. Thank you. I was hoping he might return. Appreciate the response.

Can you someone more capable than myself please check the Tomas Berdych Twitter page? His post on April 1, 2020 announced comeback for Olympics 2021...I assume it was an April Fool's prank? Apr 1 Chci Vam oznamit, ze jsem se rozhodl pro navrat na olympiade v tokyu 2020/21 Just want to inform...

a) One particular player from Switzerland defended two separate slams FIVE YEARS IN A ROW. b) Same player has won three of the four slams at least SIX TIMES. c) And the un-informed trolls of TTW still badmouth him somehow. I'm not certain which of the three stats is most ombeilleabble...

"second only to Federer's 81..." Don't bury the lead.

USA is at a big disadvantage regarding this. And I am referring only to players actually born here and who grew up playing here. Due to the large population and stratification, it's clearly every man for himself. The academies are all privatized money grabs with little chance of producing...

Will you please name the ones you think qualify? (PLEASE don't list the great shots from guys that are HOF Players.) I came up with two: Blake FH Gaudio BH...

What percentage of matches did Nadal play on clay from 2015-2019? Obviously easier to return on the super slow, high bouncing surface than other faster surfaces where the court helps the server. Yawn. KING FED!

NonP- thanks for the Edberg return #'s. Very good work!

Is 3-1 winning record really considered struggling? That merely shows how GREAT Fed is when people begin speaking like this. Fine, he lost one time, it happens. Furthermore, Djokovic and Nadal play similar (albeit one is lefty) DEFENSIVE, grinding, baseline games. Federer is an attacking...

Oooh! I was apparently "suplexed off the top rope." And then some internet guy posted a picture of a dead, large steroided guy with dyed hair. And then another internet guy supported that guy against little old me- Oh, how will I sleep? None of this juvenile noise changes the fact that So Cal...

It's not as if I designed the southern CA tennis system, so to the guys that take it personally, take it personally. However, I am a product of it. So I would like to ask this, how many USTA tournaments where you live offer significant prize money? (in the thousands) Because every single week...

Read it and weep. The truth always hurts.
