    Sinner's peak level climbed into the all-time ATP top 10 list!

    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...

    Favourite Tennis Outfits 2024

    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...

    Is there a common element to....

    ...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?

The relative positions of the elite is usually much better supported. If they read the data at the...

    Is the tennis season too long?

    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...

    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.

    More dramatic proof emerges of Tiny Carlos falsifying his height

    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...
