    Fedal bros, it's time we have a talk...

    Now that the dust has settled and Novak Djokovic has cemented his place as the unquestionable, undisputed GOAT of tennis we must revisit history critically to understand how we got it all so wrong. You see, fellow fedal bros, I too was blind. I was blinded by Big Nike. Blinded by the paid media...

    What is the best performance by a player aged 17, 18, 19... up to 37, on each surface? Making a comprehensive list

    For a future safeguard against overhyping the latest mug, let's make a benchmark of what it is actually possible for 17 year olds, 25 year olds, 35 year olds to do in tennis. Think Alcaraz's level is the highest ever from a 19 year old on HC? Think Fed's peak on grass is the highest ever? Now...

    BOMBSHELL: In normal circumstances, Djokovic needed only 600 points from the AUS Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Montreal, Cincy and US Open to be No. 1!

    Djokovic would have 6,320 points in normal circumstances while Alcaraz at #1 with 6,920 pts. So only 600 points were needed for Djokovic from the 10,000 points of the 6 premiere hardcourt tournaments which he was denied to participate in. o_O That's only one final in one of the four masters or...

    The peak versions of each ATG across each slam all play each other. Who has the combined best results?

    For example (these are just my picks): 2011 Federer, 2008 Nadal, 2015 Djokovic, 1996 Sampras and 1978 Borg face off with each other 10x in a round robin at RG - a series of RS hypotheticals... 2004 Federer, 2010 Nadal, 2011 Djokovic, 1995 Sampras and 1980 Borg face off with each other 10x in...

    John Isner’s performance vs Murray this year was the highest level of grass court tennis we’ve seen at Wimbledon in the past 2 years

    Man was bombing down serves, volleying like prime PETE and hammering that forehand. 82 winners, 36 aces against a GOAT returner who had shown great form against Kyrgios and Berrettini. Kyrgios himself can only dream of that kind of brutality. Big John can still beat absolutely anyone on his day...

    All threats in Nadal's path to Wimbledon final are officially out (a la the AO)

    In the AO, Bull fans were complaining about his draw. He was supposed to play the following players in different rounds but didn't play any R2: Kokk R4: Hurkacz QF: Zverev SF: Djokovic Now in Wimbledon, the same thing happens again, all threats in Bull's path to the final went home even before...

    How many more GrandSlams after 22

    I know this is a hypothetical question and you geeks might have already discussed many times. However, after reading post-match interviews, I'm asking question myself. Look like Nadal is motivated to go for more trophies than coming back with any excuses. In my guess, he may grab 3 more grand...

    NOVAKS FOREHAND OVER BACKHAND

    I WAS ANALYZING NOVAKS AND RAFAS GAMEPLAY A LITTLE BIT AND 1 COMMON THING I NOTICED WAS THAT THEY BOTH CONVERT BACKHAND BALLS AND HIT A FOREHAND BUT BOTH OF THEM HAVE A GREAT BACKHAND AND CAN EASILY DOMINATE THE OPPONENTS SO WHY THEY GO FOR CONVERTING OF SHOTS ?

    Nadal has been net UNLUCKY in non-clay slams in his career, not lucky

    Primedal is generally agreed to have been from 2008-2014. In this time... On grass: He didn’t even play at Wimbledon ‘09 through injury, missing the opportunity to play a weaker Federer or Roddick/Murray. He won the 2 Wimbledons either side of this in 2008 and 2010. During his 2012 match...

    Nadal: 2019 AO vs 2022 AO

    In 2019, Nadal dominantly stormed to the final over Tsitsipas and others, but got harshly massacred by in-form Djokovic for the title. In 2022, Nadal struggled through the draw losing six total sets, but ended up winning against some odds over the current world number one. Yet surely Medvedev...

    Rafa Will Have To Beat Djoker And Tsitsipas Back To Back. Not An Easy Task!

    Preventing Rafa from reaching #21 is almost as good as winning the tournament for The Djoker. Djoker will have to make Rafa really battle so Rafa has nothing left in the tank for the Final.

    Who's a greater play currently? Thiem or Delpo?

    We all know that Thiem will probably end his career with 3-6 slams, and could be in the running for top 15 all time, but has he already surpassed delpo? Slam champions with 1 masters title. Does the fact that delpo had his injuries and had the arguably tougher era help him? I'm gonna say that...
