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 ?

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...

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...

LOL! Low hanging fruit I know, but since no one has done it and I'm massively bored ....

Here it follows a list of the best Top5 WTA players at the moment and another list of the Top10 in Women's history: BEST PLAYERS OF THE PRESENT (52-weeks): 1. Ash Barty 2. Gab Muguruza 3. Naomi Osaka 4. Ary Sabalenka 5. Paula Badosa GREATEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIME (last 140 years): 1. Steffi G...

This index brings us the best performers on ATP rankings in the XXI Century - or precisely since the great standardisation of the year 2000. Following basic economic axioms (the ones allowing currencies to be exchanged and GDP to be measured) and internationally accepted principles of laws...

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.

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...

I'm included in the Hall of Fame list of TTW. So as someone with that legendary status, I feel love and affiliation towards fellow ttw members, and wanna connect well with all of you. Ask me anything, ladies and gentlemen, I'd try my best to answer honestly. Thanks and regards, -Carl...

Enjoy the rough diamond who's in the process of getting polished and being the crown jewel of the tennis world for the upcoming years.

Found this incredible compilation of amazing, mind Boggling shots of the swiss legend roger Federer. No doubt why he is the most adored and loved tennis player of open era. Enjoy the video, dear fellow TTW posters. -Carl Thompson.

I said it, do I need to make loaded questions to obfuscate my dislike for certain elements of Andy Murray's game? And the fact he is not an All time great? Why don't people stop massaging the areola and get to the pinching the nipple? IE Get to the point. It's not I dislike Murray personally...

http://www.tennisabstract.com/blog/2020/10/12/not-all-twenties-are-created-equal/ 1. Read it entirely. 2. Discuss/ Disgust 3. I do not agree with the article, but I do love me some hot takes.

Short of ludicrous appearance fees or other monetary advance this is inevitable or he's about to become a big hypocrite if he does anything other than count his millions. :sneaky:

On the surface his numbers don't look great. But under the microscope of the EYE TEST, it is very deflated and underrated. He had one great season - 2016. And he didn't even need to last the whole year to assert his dominance. His "zone" magic was gone only because of injury. His other "ATG"...

Fedr - 194, between 2004 RG 3R (lost to Kuerten 6-4 6-4 6-4) and 2006 Cincy 2R (lost to Murray 7-5 6-4) - more than two full seasons Borg - 165*, between 1978 WCT Challenge Cup SF (lost to Fleming 6-5 6-5) and 1980 Masters RR (tanked to Mayer 6-0 6-3) - almost two full seasons *excludes two...

For Evert fans, and those who would like to know more about her. https://play.acast.com/s/thetennispodcast/ace78878-1460-47d5-b4d7-10ea68bacd49

Time to do this. Open fire! AO Djokr 2011 Fedr 2007 Djokr 2008 Fedr 2004 Djokr 2016 Fedr 2005 Djokr 2019 Djokr 2013 Djokr 2012 Nadl 2009 RG Nadl 2008 Nadl 2007 Nadl 2012 Nadl 2010 Nadl 2017 Nadl 2013 Nadl 2006 Djokr 2013 Nadl 2005 Nadl 2011 (it's crazy lol) WB Fedr 2006 Fedr 2003 Fedr 2005...

Isner's face tells it all on his first highlight. Even Djokovic was across the net as witness many times. What I took away from this was Federer was extremely fast pre-2010.

Quickpolling.

Evening RLA match (possibly to give Krajinovic more time to recover) featuring 6x AO champion vs the #41 (live) 27-year-old playing his fourth AO MD (3-3 career). Rooferer got a big advantage by completing his Monday match while Krajinovic struggled today to win a 7-5 fifth set after blowing a...

I should begin the thread by stating outright that I’m a Nadal fan and hence biased towards appreciating his achievements over Federer and Djokovic. Recently, we have threads emphasising a player’s winning streaks over a particular surface/tournament/group of opponents. What confuses me is why...

Hi, tennis friends! I'm left-handed, and I've always wanted to watch Federer and Djokovic as lefties. So I created this simple and free Chrome extension that mirrors videos so that righties -> lefties and lefties -> righties. When watching players in my handedness, I see little things that I've...

YES, another GOAT argument post. Looking at match win % (with minimum 200 matches). Nadal is the greatest of all time. Top 10 of all time Rank Country Name Winning Pct. Won Lost Played 1 ESP Rafael Nadal 83.19% 970 196 1166 2 SWE Bjorn Borg 83.03% 636 130 766 3 SRB Novak Djokovic...

Choosing the Top10 GOATs in the present Golden Era, with Nadal challenging Federer's Grand Slam mark and Djokovic threatening Maestro's #1 Weeks, is already very exciting. Would Murray, Wawrinka or Hewitt fit in? How about bringing into the equation Sampras, Agassi, Borg, Connors, Lendl...

I'm searching for some introspection (without partisanship) here. My 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 been a tennis fan for a long time, among several sports that I follow...
