Most media hype and sensationalism for a young player...Despite the frenzy surrounding the carrot and his big win, I still lean Carlos Alcacramps due to the level of fawning and creepy comments exhibited by commentators during some of his matches last year. These young bucks sure are getting...

We often hear about how Carlos has the biggest forehand and is one of the most offense forward players on tour. Conversely, people often label Djokovic as a defense forward player (some even, mistakenly, call him a pusher). However, Djokovic had higher average speeds off both wings in the Cincy...

Alcaraz currently has an 880 point lead over Djokovic. He will lose the 450 points he was defending at Hamburg and Umag over the next two weeks. This will reduce his lead to 430 points. The summer hard court season will determine the rankings heading into the end of the year. Medvedev isn't...

Interesting take at 5:21 from Carlos. He says he needs to beat him more than a couple times to really consider himself better, but he also says he's better than everyone else other than Novak. This kid really shows a lot of respect for the legends of the sport, and he's certainly earned my...

1) 3-0 up in the 2nd set tiebreak, Djokovic elects to hit a terrible drop shot at 3-2 into the net during a neutral rally giving up his mini-break 2) 7-6 set point in the same tiebreak, Djokovic totally shanks a routine backhand into the net 3) Break point up 1-0 in the 5th set, Djokovic nets a...

What do you think of this quote from Alcaraz? I think he wants to believe that he wants it more than Djokovic and that it'll mean more to him than it does to Djokovic to win it. Any truth to that? The second sentence is a bit odd to me, though. Is he visualizing the win or is he genuinely that...

Are there numbers to back Chrissy's claim that it's a "real question" about whether Novak and Andrey hit the ball as hard as Swiatek and Svitolina? She said the question would exclude the serves, of course.

This journalist is an idiot. Either he was totally ill prepared or he was throwing some weird shade at Victoria with this question. I thought she handled it as well as anyone could. This guy should be fired.

Lopsided h2h outside of slams, but Stanimal has been a real problem for Djokovic at slams. Is he too old/damaged to pose a real threat?

Has anyone seen this video of Stepanek getting rather cozy with Korda's gf at one of his matches? This is pretty odd. Will this affect Korda's chances at Wimbledon?

Which current player has the best hair?

Felix has been a non factor for a while and just lost the first set against lucky loser Mmoh.

I'm excited for some of the first round matchups here. I've listed the ones I'm most interested in, what do you think? Can Isner or Raonic do anything at all?

So Nadal said this about Djokovic after he went 10-1 against Fedal in 2011-2012. Nadal had played peak/prime Federer many times, and yet this was still he assessment. Are some fans discounting the high level that Djokovic was been able to reach in his prime? Yes, he’s won more titles later in...

Bublik's opponents were much stiffer competition than Alcaraz's. Carlos did his work impressively (aside from the first round hiccup) but Bublik showed more this week. Bublik beat Coric, Struff, Sinner, Zverev, and Rublev. Alcaraz beat Rinderknech, Lehecka, Dimitrov, Korda, de Manure

I've been blown away by the ogling and and ridiculous commentary during Alcaraz matches, particularly by the TC crew. Watching his match now against baby Fed, and there's gold here. I wanted to start logging some of my favorites for posterity. "Spanish sexy sauce" "When you're that good...

Which next gen player has been the most overhyped relative to their results?

I was wondering why the Pure Aero 98 isn't more popular on this forum. It's an incredible racquet. I originally played with the AeroPro Drive for years. I stopped playing for a few years and came back using the Pro Staff RF97. For my ohbh, the RF97 is probably the best racquet on the market...
