    Rankings headed into and out of Wimbledon

    Race for #1: Well documented at this point. Djokovic has a pretty major stranglehold on it. Medvedev has to get to the final without Djokovic making the final OR he needs to beat Djokovic in the final. Very tall order. Likelihood, near negligible. Race for #3: With Nadal taking a break, his...

    2021 Wimbledon - Men's Singles - Tournament thread

    Defending champion: Novak Djokovic (5-time Wimbledon winner (2011, 2014-15, 2018-19)) Past Wimbledon champions, who will participating in the 2021 edition: Roger Federer (2003-07, 2009, 2012, 2017), Andy Murray (2013, 2016) Official website: http://www.wimbledon.com/ Link to draw...

    Sunday's match might settle #1 for the rest of the season...

    There was a chance for Medvedev. Today's win pretty much wiped out his chances. On Sunday, Djokovic faces the ATP race leader in the RG Final. A win would launch him 600 points ahead of Tsitsipas going into his pet slam. It might be all she wrote after that. Tsitsipas is probably the only...

    Straight forward from here...

    Berrettini beats Djokovic Berrettini beats Nadal Berrettini beats Tsitsipas The Hammer's time has arrived Berrettini comes out of nowhere to cruise to the 2021 edition of the French Open. It's happening

    Is the tour getting younger?

    Was looking at the stats that @helterskelter provides for the age of players per round, and it has become apparent that older players are fading quite a bit, but I didn't want to leave it at that without doing some diligence. So I created a table of all players 30 years old at the start of the...

    Basel is cancelled in 2021

    Does that mean Federer waits until 2022 to retire? Source: https://www.atptour.com/en/news/basel-cancellation-2021

    Tsitsipas could get to #3 in the world post-RG

    To start with, it's highly unlikely that ANY of this will happen, but... Nadal losing in the SF (or earlier) AND Tsitipas winning RG2021 Results in: Tsitsipas 8,780 ATP points, Nadal 8,630 points, Thiem 7,425 points

    2021 Geneva ATP 250 F: [3] Casper Ruud (NOR) vs. [2] Denis Shapovalov (CAN)

    So what now from Hubert Hurkacz?

    Has anyone's opinions changed about him? Was this Miami title a possible peak/highlight of his career or was this the start of a future higher level of success for the Pole?
