    Why Dimitrov will never reach world number 1

    I see no reason he can't get much better in the next few years, just when the big 4 are going to begin declining. ATP 1000s aren't an old (non-fed) man's game. I look at his competition from his age and I wonder who the heck will actually challenge him. In a way I think he will just gain...

    The OFFICIAL US OPEN 2014 thread - General discussion

    he was injured and its obvious he has not recovered fully yet. i think we need to give him 2015 to see what happens. its tough to climb that mountain every year anyway...gotta have the drive again first.

    fed problem solved a little and actually brought his game down. a little less power a little more control. and the slice...his answer to the big servers.

    looks like a few more people have returned. very odd with so few people in the stands.

    Nadal vs Some Left-Handed Bub

    Probably the most useful post on here. Should Rafa retire if he can't move right anymore? It is a legit concern. I would actually consider it if this does not work out. If Nadal was moving well but making sloppy mistakes and lost(or hell won close match) then I think there would be no...

    Murray Calls For More Blood Doping Tests

    We get this Spanish clay freak in 2005 and this amazing Djok who magically improves in 2 months for 2011. Also another Spanish player currently at #4 which just seems to getting more out of his limited game than anyone else. These in a way do not pass the Baseball home run smell test. Do I...

    Federer - Grand Slam Semifinals

    Lets just keep in mind how many semi-finals he has played. Yeah he isn't as athletic anymore. That is how it should be. Because of this, I root for him. I hated him when he couldn't be beat.

    Federer vs Murray - 2013 AO semi-finals

    So many variables...but it mostly comes down to Fed's body. Will he recover in 48 hours off of a (pretty fast) 5 set match? Or will his tank only have 2-3 sets in it and he will fade in 4 or 5 sets? Murray is hitting the ball off the forehand better and his serve is looking solid. Of course...

    Is there a certain type of player Djokovic is vulernable against?

    Yeah big serve, not allowing Djok to get into the 24 point rally stuff. Playing less physical and really hurting his second serve. You must get into 'serious' points. That is he has pressure on him to win that point. It takes someone with a great serve and the ability to hurt the second serve...

    It's Not the Same Without Rafael!

    I'm missing Roddick too...

    Novak vs Aggassi

    We all ready have a guy much like Agassi on tour. His name is David Ferrer. Yeah Agassi was probably better, but it pretty much shows what would happen with that match up.

    Murray: More out of competition testing is required

    This is so true. In fact I believe almost all players are on HGH and other things right now. Have been for many many years. All sports where money matters and you can afford the good doctors which can get you past any tests. It is too easy to evade tests if you have $500k+ in the bank.

    The Donald

    Sounds like end of the line for him.

    Examples of coaches ruining players

    True, but with weapons - Agassi - Brad took him to another level in his 30s. He took Roddick to a USO win also, using the strengths and hiding the weaknesses with them. Brad likely tried to show him more and get the backhand more consistent, he did not happen like he wanted and they split up.

    Would it be awesome or would it suck to be Jamie Murray?

    When it's all over, he will be happy. In your teens/20s, it might be frustrating. All depends.

    Murray vs Roddick- which one is now greater

    Roddick because he was the BEST at tennis for a year (2003). Murray won't get past #3 and this is his best year.

    Was Wimbledon 2012 just an aberration for Federer as far as Majors ?

    He is older and he did not get a chance to practice with all of the rain and Bird man can be a challenging match up, as we've seen previously. Fed is going to have rough matches at times, just how it is when you are older and the margins get slimmer. He will continue to contend, but there are...

    Watching Grandpa Roddick on his farewell tour...

    In the end it is rather sad Roddick did not play like we all wished he would have. I understand the top spin loopy play, wear people down, let them fall apart, etc. However vs SOME players - you gotta smack that ball. I was happy he did that in 2010 at IW and FL. It was nice to see him play so...

    Pros on TW? Maybe not as farfetched as we think...

    He went to war on that forum. No one had a clue who he is. Shows you how popular tennis is. In fairness, Robin Van Persie could have posted on there and had the same reaction. At least that dude can afford better than a S5 now (RVP). Too bad Arsenal is without the goals :(

    Pros on TW? Maybe not as farfetched as we think...

    Interesting. I have not ventured out into other forums. I feel this one is more or less contained, some decent posts on here from time to time even.

    Pros on TW? Maybe not as farfetched as we think...

    Interesting since I lurk there too. I don't have one as they (nissan GTRs) have major transmission issues still - not to mention it is not quite in my price range...yet. Anyway it brings up an interesting question....is this THE most popular tennis board?
