Ivan Lendl never features in the GOAT discussions, but one cool thing about him is that he impacted the way the sport is played. You could say there was tennis pre-Lendl and then there is tennis post-Lendl. He really brought killer fitness and a power baseline game to the forefront. Chris...

... who would it be? Obviously they have to be retired players, and futhermore they have to be NON slam winners. Justify your choices with why they would do well today and how their games would square off against the current crop

Maybe I didn't quite catch that, but did Wozniacki get an amount of points deducted (~580 points)? I heard that if she doesn't win a match she may get some points deducted... I know they would have checked something about her matches last year and according to this "rule", she could have lost...

Too often here we discuss players here but not so much their coaches. Ljubicic, Moya and Agassi need no introduction, but there are others who aren’t as famous but doing great things with their player. Let’s talk about them - * Who are some of the notable coaches on tour right now? * What is...

In this match I believe Lacko was stronger, considerably. After winning the first set (6-4) and after the first game of the second set (where Donskoy won a service game), I saw Lasko very laxed. I had a feeling he already knew he would win the match -- actually it looked like he let Donskoy win...

The new transition tour tournaments, which will offer $15,000 in prize money, will replace the existing $15,000 men’s and women’s tournaments on the ITF Pro Circuit in 2019, and will award ITF Entry Points instead of ATP and WTA ranking points. In women’s tennis in 2019, $25,000 ITF Pro Circuit...

The ATP has released the 2019 ATP World Tour calendar, a tournament schedule that will feature 63 tournaments in 31 countries across six continents, in addition to the four Grand Slams. The 2019 calendar offers a continuation of the existing tournament structure and schedule that, since 2009...

i.e. All of men's matches play Monday, the women play Tuesday, and so on and so forth. This will put to rest all the complaints of unequal rest time in between rounds. It will also make it convenient to watch the matches. If I only care about the men's, then I will be able to schedule my day...

Melbourne: World number one Rafa Nadal voiced his support for players to demand a greater share of tennis revenues, saying that more lower-ranked professionals should be able to make a living from the sport. Nadal's comments follow media reports this week that Novak Djokovic, the president of...

Nadal's historic La Decima at Roland Garros. Roger F winning record 8th Wimbledon. Oldest year end number 1 of the Open Era. Longevity. The "No Excuses" Grand Slam final won by F. "Claydal" winning his third US Open clay court title. Dimitrov peaks on a tennis court to win the...

I am a fan of Nadal and Roger's my (distant) second favourite player. It's nice to read about them. But, surely tennis isn't just about them. I am getting a bit fed up of constant Fedal posts on the ATP Facebook page like other players aren't worth talking about. 'Look what Roger Federer did...

By edge I mean a certain dislike that is manifested in the way they play each other... (example Serena-Sharapova or Connors-Anybody) On the other end of the scale which rivalries do you think have too much respect or a lack of competitive edge.?

Fans of Carreno Busta can share their favourite player news on this thread. Should Rafa pull out of WTF, Busta will make his Tour Finals debut at the O2. Fingers crossed.

Do you know why?

Does anyone have any information on what pro players get paid in terms of appearing at 250's, 500's and exhibitions? Of course Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray get paid in the millions for their appearances but what about everyone else? For example, players in the top 30.

The Rare Phenomenon of Players Calling Trainers for Mental Injury. Has anyone ever seen this before? I have seen a lot of tennis over the past 20 years and I have never seen this before today's final. To be clear, I want to make the distinction. I'm not talking about: - Players calling...

Congratulations Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo - Wimbledon 2017 Doubles Champions! Polish Kubot and Brazilian Marcelo Melo defeated Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic in a four hours and 40 minutes batlle (5-7, 7-5, 7-6(2), 6-3, 13-11). According to ATP site, the 13-11 finish was the second-longest...

Five years from now, here's where I see the ATP shaping up. I am not a fan of any single player, more just a fan of tennis per se, but I am slightly biased towards American players, as you might be able to tell. I digress. Here is how I see the ATP Top 10 in 2022: ALEXANDER ZVEREV JR. — GER...

I guess we all knew this was coming, especially as the retirements of the big 4 are around the corner. The ITF has decided to dumb down tennis, starting with the Next Gen Finals this year, but will move to the regular tour shortly. "The tournament will trial a number of rule changes and...

Ive seen a lot of posters talk about players' schedules in my short time here. Where do you find them? I want to know what the Federer and Del Potro schedules for 2017 look like. What about Dominic Thiem (hoping he doesnt play 8 straight weeks again)? How do you guys get a hold of player...

2016 First time champions Nick Kyrgios Alexander Zverev Diego Schwartzman Pablo Careno Busta Karen Khachanov Steve Johnson Albert Ramos-Vinolas Paolo Lorenzi Lucas Pouille That is up from 6 first time champions each in 2014 and 2015 Who do you predict will win their first ATP Tour Level...

It's the only Masters he's missing, and it's worth more than all the slams combined. Will he ever do it, or will Fed God, Murray, and Rafa stand in his way forever?

SO this thread is about the basics of pro stock racket from all the brands for all the noobs out there (including myself) (hopefully vsbabolat is helping he is a really amazing guy knows a lot about pro stocks) This thread will include basics of : Babolat, Head, Yonex, Prince and all of the...
