H2H - Carlos leads 1-0 HC H2H - N/A Last match - 2023 RG R32, Alcaraz def. Shapovalov 61 64 62 Defending champion from 2023 & 24 against a resurgent, 25 yo left handed power player. How'd this one go? Who wins and how many sets?

So...no right or wrong answers, other than whether they are still active. Who are some of your favorite current players, whether ranked or unranked, and you can list a quick reason? Off the top of my head... MEN Djokovic - Sticking with the old guard. I'd like to see a 25th, though, and then...

Crazy who well the tour serves these days. On fast HC returning has become increasingly difficult, as servers win an ever higher proportion of points. Much of tennis pivots around this serve-return dynamic and the big follow-ups... Updated weekly(ish). Last update: 2025-03-03 Player...

Some rough comparison of the current state of Fonsinneraz + old Djokovic. Joao is like Novak obviously handicapped by his age - maybe I will post some age-adjusted stuff - but his game already stacks up surprisingly well. In some ways we have in "rally" a Carlos-Joao and Novak-Jannik pairing...

Carlos Alcaraz beat Jannik Sinner 6-7(6), 6-4, 7-6(3) in the Beijing final, 2024 on hard court It was Alcaraz’ first title at the event and his third win over Sinner in the year, with no losses. Sinner, the defending champion, had recently won US Open and would shortly after win Shanghai...

H2H - Alcaraz leads 3-0 HC H2H - Alcaraz leads 3-0 Last match - 2023 Cincinnati ATP Master's 1000 SF, Alcaraz def. Hurkacz 26 76 (4) 63, saving a match point in set 2 at 2-6 4-5 30-40 down. Vote & discuss.

Forgot to write than one. Roger's weakest surface was clay, despite being one of the very best on it in the last decades, while being Charlie's strongest. So not surprising that thus a member of Sinneraz overtakes the career performance stats of one of the big three. FEDERER Career Tour-Level...

Sinner beats Djokovic on HC but sturggles against Alcaraz (4-1 H2H v/s 2-5 H2H) Djokovic beats Alcaraz on HC but struggles against Sinner (3-0 H2H v/s 1-4 H2H) Alcaraz beats Sinner on HC but struggles against Djokovic (5-2 H2H v/s 0-3 H2H) Can someone please answer the following questions? Why...

H2H is 4-3 Djokovic HC H2H is 2-0 Djokovic Last meeting - Paris Olympics 2024 final, Djok def. Alcaraz 76(4) 76(2) Last slam meeting - Wimbledon 2024 final, Alcaraz def. Djoko 62 62 76(4) Last HC meeting - YEC 2023 SF, Djok def. Alcaraz 63 62 This is their first HC slam meeting, and a first QF...

H2H is 2-1 Alcaraz HC H2H is 2-0 Alcaraz This'll be their first slam match. Draper did shock the tennis world by taking out the Queens+Wimbledon defending champion Alcaraz at the 2024 Queens open in R16. Who wins? How many sets?

Half of the decade left to be played out but I have a hard time imagining it will be any other rivalry that will top this in in the 2020s. They have played 10 times with 6-4 in the H2H to Alcaraz, with the Grand Slam matches H2H being 2-1 to Alcaraz so far. Sinner's looking as the better player...

How would you construct the perfect tennis player from your dreams? My choices: First serve: Ivo Karlovic Second serve: Pete Sampras Underarm serve: Nick Kyrgios Return: Novak Djokovic Forehand: Roger Federer Backhand: Novak Djokovic Passing shot: Rafael Nadal Lob: Andy Murray Slice: Roger...

One of the best rivalries of 2024, Zverev vs Alcaraz. Both finished in the top 3 and are Sinner's main competitors. With Alcaraz winning 2 grand slams and one masters this year and Zverev making the final of Roland Garros, winning two masters, and being more consistant overall by achieving the...

Briefly, Sinner has 2 slams on hard, 4 masters on hard and a 0:3 record against Alcaraz. Alcaraz has 2 slams (clay and grass) and masters on hard (IW, colloquially called the fifth slam). That means 3 big titles on 3 different surfaces and a record of 3:0 against Sinner (final and 2...

In absolute most likely but even in relative terms he seems to be there. Apart from stuff during the Covid period when hardly any official matches could be attended Jannik Sinner has only played three exhibition tournaments in his professional career, two in preparation of the Australian Open...

Obviously one of the greatest returners and all-court players of the last decades. The Clay Goat will leave the tour and the Goat, the second most successful clay courter in the last three decades is showing sometimes his age. So can he start a winning streak? Updated weekly(ish). Last...

Sinner has been holding over 91% of his serve this year, like no other, and on grass from 2022-2024* over 93% (4th) and 73% SPW (2nd). He is still on an upwards trajectory there. On serve stats plus alone he seems to have a good shot at some Wimbledon wins but there is still the GOAT and a...

Clay has its unique attractions but is mostly a Southern European/American domain. The Greatest is leaving so I wonder which area will win the most masters and slams? The quote shows the top 20 + Rune (sixth king!) according to total point win percentage in masters and slams over the last...

Carlos Alcaraz beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(1), 6-3 in the US Open final, 2022 on hard court It was the 19-year old Alcaraz’ maiden Slam title and he would finish the year ranked #1. Ruud had been runner-up at the French Open earlier in the year. Earlier in the year, the two had contested the...

2nd meeting between the two after their clash earlier at Davis cup last month, when Macháč took a set off Alcaraz before ultimately having to retire from the match. He's beaten Tommy Paul of USA in R16 by 3 sets, while Alcaraz defeated Gael Monfils in 2. How does this one go? Can Tomáš Macháč...

Hottest rivalry right now in tennis. Please vote. I have my personal theory but will formulate it later…

Novak Djokovic (Serbia) beat Carlos Alcaraz (Spain) 7-6(3), 7-6(2) in the Olympic Games final, 2024 on clay in Paris, France It was Djokovic’s first title at the event. He had previously won the bronze medal in 2008. Alcaraz, who was playing the event for the first time, had recently won...

Carlos Alcaraz beat Alexander Zverev 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 in the French Open final, 2024 on clay It was Alcaraz’ first title at the event and third Slam title. Zverev was looking for his first Slam title from his second final. He’d beaten 14 time former champion and now unseeded Rafael Nadal...

There's much more to life than tennis, and more to tennis than slams, but here we are. As of now, Carlos (just 21) leads Sinner (23) 4-2 in slams, although arguably, Sinner is the better player on the most prevalent surface, hard courts. Regardless of who you like more, how do you roughly...

People seem to forget what Carlos has achieved in such a short space of time, whenever he loses it's like "oh he's doomed the end is nigh". So far Alcaraz if he keeps fit and motivated will win over 10 slams at least, he will go down as one of the greats and will sit at the ATG table.

I'm personally hoping to see Alcaraz play Djokovic again in the final, especially after Wimbledon and the Olympics, how about everyone else?

This is for all tennis fans in general; and read this If you're happy or sad, in light mood or angry, enjoying the moment or are disappointed. I'm here to talk about Djokovic defeating Alcaraz in the 2024 Olympics tennis final 76 (3) 76 (2) to claim the Olympic Gold. Ladies and gentlemen, kindly...

Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4) in the Wimbledon final, 2024 on grass It was a repeat previous years final, which Alcaraz won in 5 sets. Alcaraz had recently won the French Open. Djokovic was playing his 10th final at the event and looking for a record equalling 8th title...

Take out your crystal balls. I've been surprised/impressed/near-amazed that Carlitos has already won two Wimbledons to augment his US Open and RG titles. And he's just getting started. 1. Generally, I don't post polls, so let's discuss: Do you think Wimbledon will turn out (at career's end) to...

Alright here we go, its the rematch of their historic final from last year in 2023, when Alcaraz became the first man since Andy Murray in 2013 to have beaten the Serbian superstar in the Wimbledon final; claiming the title at the end of a tight five setter, 1-6 7-6 (6) 6-1 3-6 6-4. However...
