ATP ranking is all about points, so the ranking is solely based on career ATP points (adjusted to current point system): each win earn points, a slam final win worth 800 points, SF win worth 480, etc.

News broke this week that Ken Rosewall will auction off his tennis trophies. Andy Roddick threw almost all of his trophies in the trash a several years ago. Boris Becker sold his trophies due to financial problems. Bjorn Borg also considered selling his Wimbledon trophies and several rackets...
Novak Djokovic is in the same position that Rod Laver and Björn Borg were before. Just one match away from completing the third leg of the Calendar Grand Slam. Let's see how both fared when playing the final match of the Grand Slam third leg of the potential CYGS:

Today, July 5, 2020, 40 years have passed since one of the greatest and most famous tennis matches, the 1980 Wimbledon final Borg vs. McEnroe. Borg won this legendary match 1:6, 7:5, 6:3, 6:7(16), 8:6 and gained his 5th Wimbledon title in a row and jubilee 10th Grand Slam title.
Sweden always punched above their weight in tennis, so a drop off was to be expected, I guess, but there appears to be no tennis talent in Sweden anymore. What happened?
My mom and I were cleaning our attic and she was about to throw this away. I thought it looked rather good, so I got to keep it instead.
She bought it when she was about 14 years old (around 1980).
Do somebody now what kind of type this is? I found it looking rather "basic" and simple, but...
Hello everyone, about a year ago i purchased my first wooden racquet for a wall decoration. Since then I felt in love with old/classic racquets. Currently, my main interest is Bjorn Borg endorsed racquets from Donnay and Bancroft ( with his name, face or signature on it ).
This is my collection...
When we discuss the greatest matches of all time it's obviously tough to reach any form of consensus. How important is the drama? The circumstances? The level of play? The importance for tennis as a sport?
Some might say that the quality is the most important aspect, while others tend to lean...
