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...

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...

At a historical temple, named "shamlaji" which is located in western moutain ranges of aravalli in India... Did not know what he was doing here. Upon trying to approach, he just walked away.. weird...

The 39th chapter of the life of the greatest tennis player in the world begins May you live for another century and keep entertaining us and motivating us for a decade or so on pro tour... Many many happy returns of the day Federer

Djokovic - 16 Slams..... 270 Weeks at No.1 ....Winning h2h with Federer/Nadal. Pancho Gonzalez - 8 Years No.1....7 World Tours won. Rosewall Incredible Pro Slam Career and Longevity. Discuss......

For some people today Wimbledon Final would mean Federer will always be considered the GOAT for what he was able to do at his age against the other two greatest legends of tennis, 5 and 6 years younger. The final numbers won't matter for most Federer fans if they are close at the end. The other...

I have often wondered how many Grand Slams Federer/Nadal/Djokovic would finish with if the other two didn't play tennis. More often than not it seems like the roadblock to each winning a title is having to play one of the other two. I got to thinking that surely this could be estimated with a...

To be honest it's not much more hilariously stupid than some of the arguments over on the general pro player discussion boards https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=107926751&page=1

I'd be interested to see players' greatness ranked by summing Elo scores over their career. For example a hypothetical player with an 52-week career would have a score of Elo1 + Elo2 + Elo3 + ... + Elo52 where EloX is the Elo score in the Xth week of their career. However, there may be a need...

The tennis world is mired in GOAT debates and understandably so, gets heated and bitter at times. This is a different kind of ‘GOAT’ poll, where the facts and figures don’t matter - at least not as far as in trying to convince others, but about what (or rather who) is dear to YOU. It could...

That may be the second major match in two days where one of the big three simply didn’t look capable of beating a much younger opponent. We’ve all seen it in the old days with Rosewall against Connors, McEnroe against Agassi, Agassi against Nadal, Federer against Zverev. Matches where, no...

I know this seems like just another GOAT thread, and maybe it is, but: Independent of specific players and rooting interests, how would you explain (as objectively as possible) how you go about ranking players' careers? What are your main criteria, and what weight do you assign to each? Do you...

What do you think if this happens by the time all Big 3 are retired, what would be repercussions for the tennis world and tennis history? How would it be decided who the true GOAT is? And imagine situation where all have 20 but Nadal and Djoko are still playing and are near the end of their...
