Obviously one of the greatest returners and all-court players of the last decades. The Clay Goat will leave the tour and the Goat, the second most successful clay courter in the last three decades is showing sometimes his age. So can he start a winning streak? Updated weekly(ish). Last...

This is for all tennis fans in general; and read this If you're happy or sad, in light mood or angry, enjoying the moment or are disappointed. I'm here to talk about Djokovic defeating Alcaraz in the 2024 Olympics tennis final 76 (3) 76 (2) to claim the Olympic Gold. Ladies and gentlemen, kindly...

So, here we go. First Rafa match in over 1,5 months will take place tomorrow. Rafa, in his bid for Olympics, is playing here. Leo Borg on the other hand, is looking for the biggest win of his career on home soil. Who wins? How many sets? Discuss and vote. Vamos Rafa!

Anyone know of any clay courts in illinois? I'm in the central illinois area around peoria and want to find some to hit with some people.

Okay here we go. Rafa having won 3 matches in a row for the first time since September 2022 goes up against the Czech youngster Lehechka who is known for his big hitting prowess. Does Rafa have enough gas in the tank to overcome yet another tough challenge? Or will the Czech be the one taking...

Quite an obvious one, if you want you can add other candidates! Here we have a graph of the most recent - and slowest - clay 1000 tournaments:

Jannik Sinner's brilliant final run of 2023 has cemented his status as one of the very best (indoor) hardcourt players. In fact according to Elo only Djokovic is, slightly, ahead of him. Big success on clay has eluded him despite the perception of him was quite different in 2021 when Jeff...

Clay is Djokovic's least favorite surface, yet he's still a beast on the surface. In your opinion, what is his greatest clay achievement?

Clay season is upon us. Not a lot of high powered men in the draws this weekend. Houston is fairly loaded with most of the top Americans playing, 6 of the 8 seeds, in fact. Marrakesh will feature Felix Auger-Aliassime, who joined the draw with a wild card, and little else. Houston (DRAW): (1)...

Both having a last prime run before the steep fall. Both having lost a rome final and having won Madrid en route to the French open final. Both having faced a tough loss in Monte Carlo Both showing quite huge signs of holes in the armour after such a great previous season (nadal more so than...

Please keep the argument civilized as long as possible.

I recall him playing a very high level on clay in 2010, nearly peak level (below his 2008 prime though) despite losing or prolonging a set here and there. However, there seems to be a wider sentiment that he was better in 2006, with some even claiming he was in his prime back then. In which year...

Yes, My favourite player the greatest warrior of tennis world, Rafael Nadal the unconquerable Clay God lost to Djokovic, and I am pretty sad at the moment. It was unexpected but full credits to Djokovic; taking nothing away from him given how badly he was conquered last year in the final...

I don't know why many people including nole fans forgot about this tournament? Coming into this tournament, nole had been unceremoniously dumped out of sunshine double by Philip kohlscriber & RBA, Monte Carlo by medvedev. His last 6 clay tournament results were QF, QF, SF, R16, R32, QF...

First Monte Carlo Then Barcelona Then Roland Garros Now Rome. The God of clay for you, ladies and gentlemen.

This is the 5th meeting between the pair, 2nd overall on clay. H2H is split 2-2 with one of shapo's victories not being an actual win, but a walkover from the Spaniard in the 2019 paris masters semi final. Shapovalov is the defending semi finalist here, who lost a marathon match to Diego...

......In a clay court match. For some reason it showed into my youtube feed. Rolling back the years, I still can't believe how nadal managed to play this bad, in a masters 1000 final, on clay, in Spain?? Couldn't manage to break Murray, couldn't hit many Forehands & backhands past his own...

Unfortunately for the serb, Monte Carlo has really became the land of struggle ever since he defeated nadal there in 2015 semi finals, 3 & 3. Struggled heavily against Berdych in 2015 F, uncharacteristic loads of errors Lost to Vesely in a quite poor manner in 2016 R32 Struggled against...

To see the ball better on TV. Opinions?

My expectations are :- MC :- SF Belgrade :- W Madrid :- F Rome :- SF RG :- QF/SF.. What are yours??
