Federer: 1 RG + 6 M1000 Zverev: 1 RG + 4 M1000

Hello my friends! Its been a while since my last post here, but today i guarantee - you will know a lot of details you've never had a chance to know about one of the best Russian players in history. Nikolay Davydenko was not only a nightmare on a tennis court for Rafael Nadal (def Rafa in all 3...

Andre Agassi beat Roger Federer 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 in the fourth round, 2001 on hard court Agassi would go onto lose in the next round to Pete Sampras, who would lose the final to Lleyton Hewitt. Earlier in the year, Federer had beaten 4 time defending champion Sampras at Wimbledon Agassi won 84...

Roger Federer beat Andy Roddick 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 in the Australian Open semi-final, 2007 on hard court Federer would go onto defend his title, beating Fernando Gonzalez in the final. The two had met in in the previous Slam final at US Open, with the same result Federer won 83 points, Roddick 45...

Roger Federer beat Andre Agassi 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 in the US Open quarter-final, 2004 on hard court Federer would go onto win the first of 5 titles in a row at the event, beating Lleyton Hewitt in the final. The two would meet in the final the following year, with the same result Federer...

Who will win Indian Wells this year?

Great tribute video of several peaks in games we’ve seen in the “modern era” (more like late OE - XXIth cent) basically focusing on Big 3, Sincaraz and contemporaries. It takes both, beatings and tight matches accompanied by some basic stats. There’s some missing because it’s quite short, just...

Federer is seen by most as the greatest shotmaker tennis has ever had, especially when it comes to variety, but Alcaraz is making his case with some ridiculous shots of his own. He's only 22 and already has a career highlight reel that is... legendary. Who is the best shotmaker you have ever...

For all the nostalgics who have time to kill... A compilation of the most stunning points from the Big 3! One hour each of Nadal, Djokovic and Federer.

Hey everyone - quick question for tennis fans I’m working with a few pro tennis players on a new way for fans to engage with their favourite athletes (beyond just following on social). Before we go further, I’m running a short anonymous survey to get honest fan input. If you have 2–3 minutes...

Federer returned to Rod Laver Arena on Friday for the first time since 2020 for a practice session with Casper Ruud. Federer will be back in action to play an exhibition match during the opening ceremony of the Australian Open 2026

Federer played Ruud this Australian Open (2026) in a practice session/tiebreak, and looking at his racket couldn’t spot any PWS - which likely means he was playing with the RF01 Pro not an RF97. With a lot of people claiming the RF01 line are terrible rackets (inconsistent stringbed) and that...

Novak has obviously been the most consistent of the Big3 across the three surfaces, winning 54.2% of total points over his long career on the 'weakest' surface clay. 54.3% on grass and 54.7% on HC complete the mix. Federer achieved 53.5% on it, while getting 54.3% on HC and 54.6% on grass...

Dear anyone who is reading this. Earlier this year (2025), I think I saw a video online showing federer play mini tennis. I play at an advanced level myself but always find room to improve my mini tennis and literally the best footage I’ve ever seen of someone play mini tennis is the man...

As the title suggests, this appears to be a match that has never been uploaded on youtube or elsewhere :) Youtube link will be up in a couple of days once a bogus copyright claim from a non-existent organisation gets settled. Enjoy :) PS: This is my first attempt at creating an extended...

About 6 minutes in for him talking about coaching Djokovic. About 39 minutes in for when he starts talking about playing the big 3, with some interesting tactical details about playing Federer and what Federer changed as he got older, Djokovic's slice, and the difference in Nadal's serve on...

This is just a rough, relative overview on how much they were winning over what rally length, courtesy of Tennis Abstract. Sample sizes and quality differs a bit, with Nadal having surprisingly few fully charted matches, which might work against him. See the low absolute number of points...

Roger Federer beat Gilles Simon 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 in the Australian Open second round, 2011 on hard court Federer, the defending champion, would go onto lose in the semi-final to eventual champion Novak Djokovic. Simon was unseeded. Simon had won the pair’s previous two matches and this...

obviously, Djokovic could still win a 25th, but realistically, it isn't likely, do you think that if Wimbledon was not cancelled for the pandemic In 2020, that Djokovic could have gotten to 25 slams?

As a newer tennis fan, just getting into tennis, I am wondering how you guys think Alcaraz and Sinner would fair against some of these single or few times slam winners who were outshined by Murray and the big 3.

With Djokovic going 8-13 in tiebreaks this year, his current official ATP tiebreak record stands at 346-186 (65.04%), allowing Federer to reemerge as the leader with 469-248 (65.41%). Nice to see at least a minor injustice corrected. I recall lots of Djokobois rejoicing when he inflated his TB...

I've seen many Djokovic enjoyers, and some neutrals who appear to have bought it, praise 2015 for its stronk cumpetishen, certain debaters even going as far as to claim it's one of the most competitive seasons in modern memory. Meanwhile, 2006 gets typically marked as a relatively weak season...

I got Nadal in a close 4, Alcaraz in 5 on grass and hard court

For me, i really like Taylor Fritz's racket he used at this years US Open.

Carlos Alcaraz has won the French Open, U.S. Open, and Wimbledon, multiple times, but always seems to struggle aty the Austrailian Open. For reference, Nadal was 24 when he completed the Career grand slam at the 2010 US Open. Carlos Alcaraz would need to win one of the next two Austrailian...

When will somebody serve 175 mph, for reference the fastest ever is 163 mph at a challenger match, the fastest ATP serve ever is 157 by John Isner and Giovanni Mpteshi Perricard hit one 153 mph at Wimbledon this year. I think its never happening.

Who will it be

I got both of em reaching 20

With the one-handed backhand being close to a dying art form I thought we could discuss the best one-handed backhands in history. For me, slice is a part of the backhand - whether a one-handed or two-handed backhand - and must be taken into consideration when discussing this. Other people...

Best (highest-level) opponents for the winner in each run: 2000 Safin - PETE (F) 2001 Hewitt - Roddick (QF) 2002 PETE - Agassi (F) 2003 Roddick - Nalbandian (SF) 2004 Federer - Agassi (QF) 2005 Federer - Hewitt (SF), Agassi (F) 2006 Federer - Roddick (F) 2007 Federer - Roddick (QF), Djokovic (F)...
