Late 09 - Australia Nikolay Davydenko went on to beat Nadal three straight times, Federer two straight times, win Shanghai and WTF, win Doha beating back to back Nadal and Federer, reaching the QF at Australia being up a set and a break against Federer(probably being the second favorite to win...

If he wins his match against Shapovalov he would reach the World Tour Finals over Berretini. The interesting fact is that Gael has ZERO weeks as top 10 for the entire 2019. His first week would come after the Season is over!

The way Berrettini is playing and reaching finals, on multiple surfaces, makes me think that very soon he would break the top 10. Just an example how much confidence means! Kudos to him, I would have never imagined his upcoming few months ago.

Juan Martin has finished inside the top 8 in seasons which are ten years apart ( 2008 - 2018 ) Is there any other non ATG player(in terms of resumes) in the Open era who did that? On the top of my head, since I watch tennis(2005) there isnt one

Consider this: Think about your opinion about Nick Kyrgios at present time, now go back to Australian Open when he lost to Dimitrov in a very tight match via all tiebrieks ... which should he normaly win at least 1 from 3. After that he would be: 1. Big favorite against Edmund 2. Close to even...

Just for a minute forget about the Big 4 and their resumes. Dont look at Kevin Anderson from the eyes of Nadal, Federer and Djokovic but try to aknowledge him as player who was able to overcome enormous roadblocks to be where he is now: 1. He started playing tennis after college, at 22-23. How...

Does someone have an idea how we can find out? It would be interesting to see what % from them become top 10 and number 1

Would Argentina beat Ecuador and qualify for the WC?! This would be quite the shock if they dont make it, probably not far from the miracle runs of Leicester and Greece.

He choose to play in Quitto challenger on clay, both singles and doubles(if he wins thems - 7k and 3k) instead of Us Open where for a first round he would get 50k $, not to mention that he is capable of winning one match for an extra 40k. I suppose he has some reasoning behind his decision but...

I suppose all of the Big 4 have their own plane. Does anyone know from which year, each of them started "flying" solo? Are there other male players who can afford it? I suppose you need to be a really estabilished top 5 guy in order for that to happen. Nishikori should be in with the Asia money...

As for now Fed has 89 wins at Wimbledon and if he wins the title on Sunday, 91. It seems very likely that he would reach 100 if he participates for another 2-3 years! IMO 90-10 to happen Nadal is 79 at RG and its quite the task. I mean, lets say he has another title in him next year - 86, he...

Has there been any other player with the following results in Slams - SF, QF(2), R16(2) and a highest career ranking of ... 31. She also won a Premier title in Sydney defeating three top 10 players. On the men side, most people with this kind of results at some point reach bottom top 10, top 15

I dunno know guys, this year his serve isnt clicking and cant see him beyond R16. Anyone sharing my thoughts ?

Berdych without a coach now, after Wimbledon he would likely drop around/outside top 20. At least he is a multimillionaire and could buy stuff to chear up :rolleyes:

Who do you believe is: 1. The better player 2. The bigger star( more fans, more records, more influence, the one that changed tennis more). Obviosly Maria has made more money from endorsments but if Martina was succesfull and young today, she would probably not be that much behind

His tournament results were highly influenced by his ranking, lack of match practice and doubt. But in terms of quality, how difficult opponent was he?! Everybody knows that he was better than his year end ranking of 38 but how much better?! I think that his record against top 10 would give us a...

13.05.2002 After reaching Rome final, Tommy Haas is the new number 2 in the world. These are his results in the past 12 months: Slams - SF,R16,1 Rd, 2 Rd Masters - title, final, SF, SF, QF, 3 Rd, 2 Rd, 2 Rd(no WTF) Other results - 2 titiles: Vienna, Long Island The funny thing is that one...

I am suprised that nobody started a thread about it. If Federer plays his usual schedule 7 Masters + 3 500 and wins one from Wimbledon/Us Open he would more likely do it than not. I mean with 2 Slams the only way for him to not to become number 1 is an extraordinary year by Murray, Djokovic and...

Roger Federer top 10 wins - 201 Tomic ATP wins - 161 This is the closest I can get!

This would be probably the last year(since 2004) that one of them would finish as number 1(Murray or Djokovic). Since the the creation of the rankings, the oldest year end number 1 were Agassi and Murray both 29. So next year we would probably witness a "small" record, most likely with Andy...

Djokovic and Murray are the obvious rock solid choices, so .. 2/8. Nishikori, Raonic and Thiem should get in given their career trajectory-potential and probably the only way some of them would "fail" is to get injuried - so let's say that on average two of them would make it. 4/8 Kyrgios...

Is there any kind of information concerning the topic? I once remember reading that Serena coach has won decent amount of milions in the past 2-3 years but nothing else. I was thinking about Norman, considering his work and success he can pretty much ask for anything once Stan retires.

Just look at the R16 line up for tomorrow: Djokovic-Dimitrov Nishikori-Tsonga CIlic-Goffin Wawrinka-Isner Poulile - Murray Simon-Berdych Sock-Gasquet In order for someone to win the title he needs to play everyday from Wednesday till Sunday. In Slams the format is 3/5 but you get an extra 24...

I was thinking about how late Bautista Agut entered top 100(24.4) and yet how unexpectedly good he ended up to be. Right now he is in his first Master 1000 final just below a top 10 ranking and if he reaches it IMO this would probably be a record. I mean most "future" top 10 guys enter top 100...

Feliciano Lopez is a veteran and he is on the ATP tour since 2001-2002. In the later year he entered top 100 and since then he never left it. Now he is 35 and just consider this stat: Time spent inside top 20(1-19) - before his 30th birthday(09.20.2011) - 0 Weeks Time spent inside top 20 -...

Top 20 Federer - 25 Nadal - 20 Ljubicic - 27 Nalbandian - 24 Davydenko - 25 Roddick - 24 Robredo - 24 Baghdatis - 21 Blake- 27 Stepanek - 28 Ancic - 24 Gonzalez - 26 Berdych - 21 Haas - 28 Ferrer - 24 Murray - 19 Nieminen - 25 Ferrero - 26 Hewitt - 25 Gaudio - 28 Not a single player above...

On this day Pete Sampras becomes number 1 for the first time ... while holding ZERO Slam titles. I would love to hear the opinion of one particular user that claims that this is the strongest era ever. Pete Slam results - QF,SF,SF,F, 2 Masters, WTF - SF Courier Slam results - 3r,SF,W,W, 2...

If he wins Us Open and ends 2016 as number 1 - he would probably have a "better" number 1 year than anything Sampras, Borg and the rest produced in their time. In his favor would be that he did it with Novak Djokovic around but with an overal very weak top 20 including the long absence of some...
