2001 Hewitt vs 2022 Alcaraz Slams: 3R-QF-4R-W vs 3R-QF-4R-W - exactly identical Level analysis: AO - Hewitt lost 7-5 in the fifth to Moya, who lost QF badly to Grosjean; Alcaraz lost 7-6 in the fifth to Berrettini, who took a set off Nadal in SF. Edge Alcaraz though it hardly matters given...

Assuming slam performances stay identical with respect to age for the sake of comparison, of course. Which slams does Djokovic win in this hypothetical? 2007 Djokovic in 2001: AO, RG, WB - obviously no USO - no (loses to pre-final Sampras or Hewitt) 2008 Djokovic in 2002: AO - obviously yes...

A much-advertised final pairing, the first serious match of these two top players. The HC specialist on a big streak vs the young ATG hopeful. Finally a title battle that actually sounds kind of exciting, no?

Fritz in SF followed by Rublev or Ruud in F. What it tells us?

Holger Rune has now become the first player ever since the ATP rankings were introduced 49 years ago to defeat five consecutive top 10 players in a knockout tournament (hence, excluding RR-employing events like the YEC). What a maiden masters run for the teenager: 3-slam champ Wawrinka (even if...

AO: del Potro lost QF routinely to Fedr; Alcaraz lost 3R to Berrettini in deciding TB RG: del Potro lost QF to Fedr from two sets up after hurting his leg a bit; Alcaraz lost QF to Zverev in 4 WB: del Potro lost 4R routinely to peak Ferrer; Alcaraz lost in fairly routine 4 sets to Sinner USO...

Andre: 2 wins, 4 losses to PETE, 2 to Lendl, 2 to Fred, 1 to Courier, Chang, Ferrero Doll: 2 wins, 2 vultured wins, 2 bad losses to Delpo/extremely injured, 1 loss to Djovak, Murray AA had much tuffer cumpetishon that didn't allow him to vulture undeservedly but sternly kept him from winning 5...

That is all.

In chronological order: 2021 IW (October) - Norrie 2021 Paris - Djokovic IW - Fritz Miami - Alcaraz MC - Tsitsipas Madrid - Alcaraz Rome - Djokovic Montreal - PCB Cincinnati - Coric Four one-time winners including three first-time finalists (Coric had one prior final in Shanghai '18)...

PCB lost 1R to Kecmanovic; Evans lost 1R to Krajinovic; seeded Hurkacz lost 2R to Isner and Ruud lost 2R to the young wildcard Shelton as if he were peak Isner himself. What it tells us?

Just wanted to alert the board of this hilarity, if a little belated. Serbian Laslo Djere gets his name into the record books by losing yet another tiebreak to Franco Agamemnone in the first round of Umag, cementing his memory as a professional choker who plays tennis. Djere won a tiebreak in...

...has totalled 25/76 ~ 32.9% at RG and 11/50 = 22% at Wimbledon; overall 36/126 ~ 28.6% in his last two tournaments/slams; a massive fall from his massive prior figure of about 47% for the season up to RG, well below the tour average of 39% as well. What it tells us? Fedaraz in full flight I guess.

Also hasn't won a tiebreak against a top tenner in a slam match since 2015 Wimbledon (Raonic). Tells us how feeble his composure truly is on the biggest stage. Just another chokeboi when the venue is bigger than a 500 tournament.

Federer - too old/injured to play Khachanov - banned Berrettini - booted by COVID Fucsovics - destroyed in 1R by Bublik (has been struggling badly all year so no surprise) Hurkacz - roflmao'd in 1R by Fokina FAA - outclutched in 1R by Cressy Shapovalov - roflmao'd in 2R by Nakashima By the way...

Dimitrov is the only possily decent semifinal candidate but he is unreliable and will surely fail. No other player in this group should go anywhere near Wimbledon SF in any normal timeframe but this one isn't it. What it tells us?

Well, since all other QFs got a thread I guess this one should, too.

Less than half of which comes from top tier tournaments: 2051 points earned in Slams+YEC+WTA1000, 2275 earned in WTA 500/250. Her Slam results: 1R, 3R, 2R, 1R Made the YEC final (lost RR and F to Muguruza). WTA1000 results: one F (Doha '22), one QF (IW '22), one 3R (IW '21) However, she has...

Guess I'll post a thread for it then. The match is about to start.

The return of the old days, huh. Now the question is, which of the two Lendl-Wilander matches in 1994 will this one be more like?

This will be Thiem's first ATP match in ten months after injuries befell him last year. He played one challenger match last month and lost disappointingly to Pedro Cachin, but it turned out he'd caught covid, testing positive on the following day. He should be able to do better now. Millman is a...

In 2019, Nadal dominantly stormed to the final over Tsitsipas and others, but got harshly massacred by in-form Djokovic for the title. In 2022, Nadal struggled through the draw losing six total sets, but ended up winning against some odds over the current world number one. Yet surely Medvedev...

Out of 12 possible matchups in 3R and QF (had all seeds fulfilled their seeding), only 1 or 2 will occur: Zverev-Dimitrov and the winner of that match vs Ruud should he beat Giron. Seeds dropping early like flies again. For reference, while there were a lot more seeded matchups in IW due to the...

For the first time in the ATP era, there are no top 20 seeds in the semifinals of a Masters tournament. For the fourth time, there will be no top 20 seeds in the final, and the previous time was this year's Miami (although both Hurkacz and Sinner are top 10 in the race now so it's not that...

I chose 1983 as a starting point because that's about when the hierarchy of tennis tournaments began to flesh out more clearly so the most successful players largely moved from playing to win a lot of smaller tournaments, frequently posting over 90, even over 100 match wins in a season, to a...

Chirp away, folks.
