Of course this was Djokovic before he went nuts in 2011, but rarely has Federer seemed totally in control in just about everything in a match vs Djokovic. Sure, Fed bagelled him in the CIncy final in 2012 but the second set was closer with a TB. But this match, although Djokovic took a lead in...

My vote goes to Nadal based on that Djokovic got a lot more winning points off his serve and return than Nadal and in a neutral rally I'd go with Nadal on modern surfaces. On faster surfaces probably Federer is the best. Who do you guys have as number 1? Here's a video with my top 10 list:

Hoping to keep this positive with no arguments. Right now, who do you consider to be your five favorite players...for whatever reason(s) -- stated or unstated? Keep this a judgment-free and survey-free thread. As it strikes me right now, mine would probably be: ATP: Carlitos Novak Fonseca...

Current players like Alcaraz and De Minaur certainly deserve a mention but I'd say Monfils is the fastest ever. Do we have any official data on this?

Novak really dominated Jannik early on, so despite losing so many sets and matches in a row he still has a positive dominance ratio against his best student. Against Alcaraz he won more matches but the DR also has been close. Despite Charlie having had recently a 5-0 streak against Jannni...

If MSN are posting it then I presume it would hold water. I think that Wimbledon next year is his final tournament as that is the tournament he loves the most. Link to article Nick Kyrgios believes Novak Djokovic has less than a year of tennis in him and revealed a telling conversation they...

I found this on the deep web. What do you think of the paint job? I think it's very similar to the 2019 model, the Speed Graphene 360+. But I think that's the trend, in terms of paint jobs. HEAD must have been unhappy with #1, Jannik Sinner, not playing with the Speed 2024 paint job...

While it is generally accepted that Federer is better than Djokovic on fast surfaces and Djokovic is better than Federer on slower surfaces, there are still people claiming that Federer was better than Djokovic on clay, at least in their prime, and that simply is not true. First of all, let’s...

Dimitrov was the only player to take more than one set against Sinner in 2025 and had to retire with bad injury. Jannik was obviously hampered by the fall, dropping his fh by 10mph and the quality of serve and forhand to levels unseen in recent memory. However the old prince has become over the...

He plays to win, not "if" or "could", it's play to win or don't play at all and I think the latter is coming sooner than later. Djokovic is not someone who plays out of sentiment, or nostalgia, it's about the scoreboard, it's about the slams. I think the US Open is his last slam and he plays...

He has to find a level which Dimitrov found before his injury, he has use variety and not get into baseline slugfests with Sinner. More slices, maybe junkballs giving Sinner nothing, his return game must be on to dictate play. This isn't 2023, Sinner is now the number 1 player in the world and...

Novak Djokovic beat Andy Murray 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 in the Doha final, 2017 on hard court It was the first tournament of the year for both players and they had settled the #1 ranking in the final of the Year End Championship the previous year Djokovic was ranked 2, Murray 1. At the end the year...

Ladies and gentlemen, tennis was, is and will continue to be in good hands! :) The final highlights, blocked on this website:

The last time Novak crushed Jannik was on the ice rink of Turin 23, after dispatching Carlos in a similar fashion. The latter was also beaten on the notably quick Olympic clay and on Nole's best hunting ground, the AO. Sinner was defeated in straights at Wimbledon in 23. Last year his injury...

How be keeps embarrassing the younger gen. It will be such a big loss the day I can no longer just have a good laugh about how these guys keep losing to a mid to late 30s player. Just to count the most notable ones from the past 3 years: 1) Beating Carlos during the RG 2023 semi 2) Straight...

Daniil Medvedev beat Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3 in the Year End Championship round robin, 2020 on indoor hard court in London, England Both players would qualify for the next round - Medvedev with 3-0 record, Djokovic 2-1 - and Medvedev would go onto win the title, beating Dominic Thiem in the...

Just curious what you all think

I was curious about how Fed performed against his two biggest rivals in the best-of-three set format specifically during his 30s (from his 30th birthday on August 8, 2011, until he turned 40 on August 8, 2021). I dug into the stats, and here’s a breakdown: Federer (Aged 30-39) vs. Novak...

Jakub Mensik beat Novak Djokovic 7-6(4), 7-6(4) in the Miami final, 2025 on hard court The 19-year old Mensik was unseeded and this was his first career title. Djokovic was playing in a record equaling 8th final at the event and seeking a record breaking 7th title and a 100th career title...

So whether you go live rankings or live race or something else (other than wishful thinking), who do you regard as the Top 5 right now per ATP and WTA -- in 1-5 order? Try not to put too much stock in the past or in your projection of the future, although I may have? My own: MEN: Sinner...

Great compilation from Reddit*, with the top50 of players with over a hundred tiebreaks played! *Credit to imtheguy55

What are the chances for Djokovic to win the title at the French Open this year and equal Graf's unique quadruple career grand slam achievement? It'd be monumental for Novak to do that and get the elusive #25 at the same time. The red clay of Paris to be Novak's swansong this year? One last...

Seems like I posted something similar 5.5 years ago when I was new-ish here. But opinions evolve, and posters come and go as well. My main question: Has all the GOAT talk increased or diminished your enjoyment of tennis? I don't have an easy answer to my own question, but will say that I have...

Great article by Jeff about Mensik, with a highly interesting graph. On top we see players with a strong combination of rally skills. On the right we have great 'decent serve' with 'big follow-up' players. The position of Mensik stirred the curiosity of Jeff and I also find Cerundolo's and...

PTPA filed a long document which offers some interesting detail about the world of tennis but also some strange stuff: Everybody with a passing knowledge of the case should have know that ITIA, after their thorough investigation - corroborated by the WADA's even more detailed one - accepted...

He can't hire Murray to coach him after drubbing him that badly throughout his far more illustrious career. Right after he took the only title Murray had that he was missing: the Olympic Gold. You're the same age, so it's not a Rafa Moya type situation. Plus you're from different countries...

Roger Federer beat Novak Djokovic 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 in the Australian Open fourth round, 2007 on hard court Federer was the defending champion and would go onto win the event, beating Fernando Gonzalez in the final. Djokovic was 19 years old and would shortly after win finish runner-up in Indian...
