    Poll: Sunshine Double 2025

    With Sinner out, Alcaraz and Djokovic being a little less consistent, could be an interesting Sunshine Double this year with potential new titleists.

    Unveiling Carlos Alcaraz's Serve Revolution: Secrets to His Success!

    All of this hype over a H2H is insane

    Long-time lurker here and I have to say what a topsy-turvy match as usual from Sincaraz. Brilliant in moments, lots of UEs, but I think that's because these two young stars get quite nervous due to the media buzz around whenever they play. Having said that, I've noticed a lot of repetitive talk...

    Alcaraz is the complete package

    McEnroe and Wilander are right... we have never seen a player this complete at age 21:

    Carlos Alcaraz = Big 3?

    I'm not saying that Carlos Alcaraz is as good as the Big 3 together, let alone one of them, but to me there's no denying that his game resembles different qualities of the Big 3's games, for instance with Djokovic it's the sliding backhand and the drop shot + lob combo, with Federer it's the...

    Who Wins From Here (Post Djokoraz Departure)?

    Who wins the US Open after the two shocking early departures? Only two previous major titleists in the field, neither multi-major champs. Plus a field of people led by Zverev chasing the ultimate trophy. Should be fun to watch it play out.

    King (Juan) Carlos V: Spanish Slam Shapeshifter

    Carlos Alcaraz has become the youngest male player to win both a slam on all surfaces and the number one in ATP history. Especially impressive his is record in five setters, winning 10 out of 11. Watching quite a few of those matches I have reached the following conclusions: 1) He is obviously...

    Sinner's underrated forehand drop shot

    Since last year much talk have been about Alcaraz's effective use of the forehand drop shot and rightly so. He's probably the player who uses it most and in the best way. But Sinner has developed this strategy into his game as well, especially since 2023. Sinner isn't exactly known for his...

    Will Sinner and Alcaraz split the pot?

    Hi there, I'm new here so I hope this is not (too) redundant, but I haven't really found a recent post about this: do you guys think that Sinner and Alcaraz will end up sharing the slam titles for the next 15 years in a similar way the big 3 have until recently? Specifically, what do you think...

    Is Carlitos having the Iga Swiatek hangover?

    Do you think Carlitos Alcaraz is suffering the vertigo or the hangover in the season after winning his first Grand Slam title like Iga Swiatek had in 2021? Discuss.

    Would a resurgent Zverev be the only one that can stop Alacaraz from winning French Open 2023

    Let’s face it, RUUD stands no chance against Alcaraz whatsoever. Zverev however has actually defeated him last year, that match could have been over in 3. Plus nobody is more hungrier than Zverev .

    there is no way alcaraz is using the aero VS, ive tried it and its really bad racket

    there is no way alcaraz is using the aero VS, ive tried it and its really bad racket. the reasons why its a bad racket its because it has no control, Its a 50% miss shot, only if you hit it fast maybe you are lucky to choose the direction you want, and it doesnt feel like the same aero rafa is...

    Nike players using special Court Vapor Pro shoes?

    Hi everyone, I am looking for a new pair of tennis shoes, and I've been looking at the Nike Court Vapor Pro, because I mostly play on clay (I am from Argentina) and I need a shoe that has that rubber protection on the inner side, since my shoes always end up getting a hole in this part (see...

    Carlos Alcaraz should marry Iga Swiatek

    19 years old Carlos is a brilliant match for 21 years old Iga. That would be the greatest tennis couple since Agassi & Graf undoubtely. Can you imagine their children with such perfect genes? A daughter destined to be a WTA unstoppable force. A son destined to be an ATP monster. Carlos...

    Let's go back to 2017 Rome for a moment

    It's 20-years old Sascha in his epic win against Djokovic in the M1000 final. "A Star Is Born" as ATP announces. And we have 14-years old Carlos. Tiny kid playing junior tournaments. Would you believe 5 years later who is the first to win his maiden slam title?

    Will Carlos maintain his lead and win his first YE#1?

    Looking pretty bleak that anyone will catch him this season. Nadal probably will have a limited schedule, possibly won't play at all. That means the potential 1600 point lead on Ruud, 1800 on Tsitsipas are the only two likely technically "in the race." Brutal point gap to overcome. He already...

    Two more qualified for the ATP Finals

    Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas have officially qualified for the ATP Finals. They join Rafael Nadal (officially) and Novak Djokovic (unofficially). That leaves four more spots remaining. In theory Medvedev and Ruud could both qualify by meeting in the US Open final, both needing a minimum...

    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...

    Carlos Alcaraz - Pure Aero - String Spacing more like the 2020 Pure Aero VS or 2022 Pure Aero 98?

    Does Carlos play with a string spacing of the 2020 Pure Aero (more open string pattern of the 16x20) or the 2022 version of the Pure Aero 98 (16x20 still but slightly tighter string pattern)

    2022 Roland Garros R32: [27] Sebastian Korda vs Carlos Alcaraz [6]

    Korda plays flawlessly so far (3-0 vs Millman, 3-0 vs Gasquet). Alcaraz forced to defend a matchpoint in R64 against Ramos. Was looking vulnerable. They both clashed last month in Monte-Carlo, Korda was better then. Who's going to win this time? H2H Korda 1-1 Alcaraz Vegas odds (as of 25...
