    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...

    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...

    I don't like Andy Murray's forehand, attitude on court and 2nd serve and he's not an ATG.

    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...

    Tomic skipping rest of year

    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:

    Mury's career is actually stellar

    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"...

    Friendly Reminder & 20 Highlights of Magic by GOAT

    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.

    AO’20 2R Men’s Singles: (3) R Federer (SUI) vs F Krajinovic (SRB)

    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...

    Why are streaks important?

    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...

    For lefties! Watch Federer / Djokovic as lefties (or watch Nadal / Shapovalov as righties)

    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...

The final numbers won't matter for most Federer fans if they are close at the end. The other...
