    Which trio delivered the more impressive slam matches at their best: Berdych-Tsonga-Ferrer or Medvedev-Zverev-Tsitsipas?

    Berdych beat a fairly subpar Federer and Djokovic for the loss of just one set at 2010 Wimbledon; beat a decent Federer at 2012 USO; straight-setted a mediocre Murray at 2010 RG; had a set point to go two sets up against peakish Nadal at 2012 AO; dominated a subpar Nadal at 2015 AO. Tsonga...

    Nadal's place in the USO Open Era list

    The thing is, Nadal does have 4 titles but lacks top level runs besides that (other than getting wrecked by Shoulderovic in 2011 F) and of course his two old age titles flattered to deceive thanks to mug opponents, so there's a very poignant argument that other 3-4-time titlists such as Lendl...

    Roddick/Hewitt vs Medvedev/Zverev/Tsitsipas at the AO

    Another mug poll. Debate competition vs results etc. The poll's a bit complicated since Roddick/Hewitt and Zverev/Tsitsipas are close so I didn't order them; the only clear distinction is Medvedev being above Zverev and Tsitsipas (better results and H2H in the same era). I'm obviously voting for...

    Who will be Djokovic's main rival in the year 2021 and beyond?

    So Djokovic could possibly equal Federer's slam tally in a few years (still a big if), but who will be the biggest obstacle facing him in the year 2021 and beyond? I think Felix will most likely be the biggest obstacle for Djokovic once he gets into the top 10. IF there is someone I left out...

    Tougher competition: prime Federer at Wimbledon or prime Djokovic at the AO?

    08 Djokovic added to make it 7=7, given that he did play at a prime level then. Fedr relevant comp: Wim 03 - Roddick, Philippoussis Wim 04 - Hewitt, Roddick Wim 05 - Hewitt, Roddick Wim 06 - Ancic, Nadal Wim 07 - Ferrero, Nadal Wim 08 - Nadal Wim 09 - Söderling, Roddick Djovk relevant comp...

    Starting out: what level to compete at?

    I haven't played any kind of official match against anyone with an NTRP, so when my local summer league asks me what my rating is, do I just default to 2.5 even though I feel like I'm higher than that? I realize this might be a dumb question, but gauging what my level is seems to be elusive...
