Maybe some esteemed members of this discussion board have missed the rise and quality of young Jannik. Only eight players are ranked to have been stronger in ATP history. Obviously it now gets harder and harder, Sinner only got 16 points for his run at the AO 2025. Rank Player Peak...

Defending champion: Jannik Sinner Past AO champions, who will participating in the 2025 edition: Novak Djokovic (2008, 2011-13, 2015-16, 2019-21, 2023), Stan Wawrinka (2014) Draw: Official website: https://ausopen.com/ Edition: 113th (57th in the Open era) Date: 12–26 January 2025...

The year's coming to a close, thought I'd round up what outfits I enjoyed this year in no particular order. For me Draper's USO was the winner — mostly the fit, retro boxy, reminded alot of Roddick from back in the day. Followed by Tiafoe's, Meddy's night RG outfit and Jarry's Miami. For the...

Sinner may have somehow, someway become the most polarizing player on the ATP tour - while simultaneously becoming the most dominant. What is your opinion of him today, at this moment - after basically sweeping the end-of-year tournaments and solidifying his World #1 Ranking? Informally in...

...which players you decide to root for? What do you think makes you a fan of certain players, or a non-fan if that's the case? Playing style? Results? Potential? Personality -- on or off court? Identification with (whatever basis)? Something else?

Alright, you read the title. On one hand, we have Rafa on the cusp of retirement, playing one of his last professional tournaments at Olympic games v/s Peak Serena Williams, the thunderstorm player who blasted the entire WTA tour for years into submission, completely dominating the sport...

Please post up any tips and tricks for the 2025 Miami Open. Things to do and see at the tournament. Also, if anyone has any questions...

Jeff Sackmann has done it, the surface speed ratings are now live: Sinner and Djokovic having likely the highest spread of wins. Older ratings from 2017-19! There is also a 2014-16 edition.

Wanted to start Medvedev’s news thread and also post his entertaining interview here, especially the part about “brutal” youth tennis competition.

He assembled a fantastic coaching team with Becker before disassembling it early this year. What is gonna be the situation this time? he needs a good coach asap.

Hello, I was curious how the acceptance list worked for futures and where they took the national ranking list from for the United States.

Just found a neat graphic of Tennis Insights which places most of the top players of 2023 in relation to the tour. Keep in mind the sample bias, more so for guys blasting away with little margin. The relative positions of the elite is usually much better supported. If they read the data at the...

Tennisabstract is now also presenting now the tour's finest bakers of bagels and breadsticks. Let us look at the live reports of their handiwork: Player Last 52: Baked 0-6 1-6 Career: Baked 0-6 1-6 Jannik Sinner 25 0 0 58 7 10 Alex De Minaur 24 2 4 67 9 40...

For our purposes, please list some of your favorite players (ATP or WTA) - either retired or 35-plus - who have never won a slam, but you always enjoyed watching them. No surveys, no arguments, just the joy of watching/following various players.

Yes, we're all tennis fans here, and the more tennis, the better, right? I don't know. Currently, the schedule is just about a full 11 months - only December is off. Is that enough time for players to rest, recover and regroup? Is that even enough time for fans to chill and have anticipation...

There's a wealth of information about attending many of the European ATP and WTA tournaments in this forum and elsewhere, but I was hoping someone could specifically address the need to buy advance tickets for a few of the tennis tournaments we plan to attend in 2024. These include a couple of...

India's Rohan Bopanna (43) made history at the ATP Finals when he became the oldest player ever to win a match at the year-ender after teaming up with Matthew Ebden to beat Rinky Hijikata and Jason Kubler 6-4, 6-4 in a round-robin match on Wednesday. Bopanna and his Australian partner are now...

who is your favorite over-250 (250-2000) player who you want to succeed and believe will be great, or you are following their progress

Can someone explain how points come off and on for players during the year in the SIMPLEST of terms? Why does Novak have 500 points coming off next week, when he gained 600 points making the Paris final around this time last year? How many events played throughout the year/Calendar are...

Link to article I think this is great news and more of an incentive for lower ranked players, this should have been done years ago though and the WTA should adopt this if they haven't already. The ATP announced on Tuesday the creation from 2024 of a financial security programme for players...

https://www.capital.ro/rasturnare-de-situatie-pentru-simona-halep-lovitura-totala-pentru-itia-s-a-aflat-totul-despre-teste.html ITIA President Nicole Sapstead has been embroiled in a major doping scandal. The president of ITIA, Nicole Sapstead, who accused Simona Halep of doping, is involved...

With two rounds completed - in both singles draws - at RG, as we approach the Round of 32, we have seen that there have been a lot of upsets. As 32 players are seeded, if those seeds won their first two matches, every matchup would have two seeds competing. In the men's draw, there are only 5...

apart from Dimitrov with his custom 18x17? It's been around for long enough now that there could be some young players coming up with it. Every Wilson pro and his dog had a ps97 paint job for a while on their six.ones- forget about them: who *really* uses it? If, like the clash, none of the...

Hello Tennis Community! We have created a new Instagram account where Fantasy Tennis can be played. Every weekend, teams will be assembled that followers can choose from. Each match from ATP250 and up will be evaluated in detail based on the categories of game progress, serve, return, breaks...

Ladies and gentlemen, the year is almost on the verge of ending, so let's take a recap at some of the best 3 set matches of this season. This was a pretty wild year, and we got some of the most incredibly fought battles, some crazy nailbiter 3 setters. Following is the list of some, which in...

I experienced a truly joyous, beautiful, and most cherished moment this past week: I was able to participate in an ATP tournament. I hung out in the locker room and the player’s lounge, accompanied my guy onto the court and sat in his box, and consoled him after a heartbreaking triple tie...

Serena Williams, and presumably her incredibly expensive lifelike waxwork in Madame Tussauds, stands at 5 foot 9 inches. Mr “6 foot 0” Carlitos has inadvertently exposed himself as no more than an inch taller than Williams (maybe even less, given the positioning of the knees) in this photo taken...

Hello all, I was thinking of doing this list for a while. I like the Babolat brand and always like to see which type of frames players gravitate towards. I pulled information from TW fourms, tennis nerd, and many many old and current image searches zooming into pictures LOL. Here’s the list...

I WAS ANALYZING NOVAKS AND RAFAS GAMEPLAY A LITTLE BIT AND 1 COMMON THING I NOTICED WAS THAT THEY BOTH CONVERT BACKHAND BALLS AND HIT A FOREHAND BUT BOTH OF THEM HAVE A GREAT BACKHAND AND CAN EASILY DOMINATE THE OPPONENTS SO WHY THEY GO FOR CONVERTING OF SHOTS ?

Now that Felix has finally gotten over the line, a nice compilation done by Tennis TV. How many of these do you recall watching at the time they happened?
