grand slam

Defending champion: Jannik Sinner Past AO champions, who will participating in the 2025 edition: Novak Djokovic (2008, 2011-13, 2015-16, 2019-21, 2023), Stan Wawrinka (2014) Draw: Official website: https://ausopen.com/ Edition: 113th (57th in the Open era) Date: 12–26 January 2025...

The world is full of wild fancies but the ITIA report states Sinner was contaminated without fault or negligence. CAS will look into the appeal of WADA, which wants to clarify if there is some negligence on the part of the player. Obviously, no relevant body accuses the number 1 of doping, given...

Wanted to start Medvedev’s news thread and also post his entertaining interview here, especially the part about “brutal” youth tennis competition.

who will be the next first time grand slam champion? probably the closest is zverev in my opinion but who do you think is next?

In a recent interview, Federer said he'd advise his 9yr old self to keep a 2 handed back-hand in hopes that he'd have an even grander career than he already did. Curious as to what the forum thinks about this. Did we lose out on a 30 Slam Champion lol

Since 2019, all Grand Slams have been losing their own personality for some reason that I never heard of. Some of the sad changes made by each major: -AO: No more Thu-Fri night men's SF and Thu afternoon women's SF, no more ad-set final set. -RG: Scheduled night sessions, divided one-W one-M QF...

By accurate, I mean reflective of their top levels, longevity, whatever you decide, across schlems. The options are: Djokovic needs 1 more RG to do it (so he probably will anyway). He has lost 5 RG finals, all to Nadal except 1 to Stan where Djoker beat Nadal en route in 2015. He also lost 2...

High time for this obligatory TTW GPPD thread. Sascha is 25. Will be 26 before 2023 French Open. His BO5 record against Top10 opponents is no longer winless as he defeated Alcaraz at RG22. Please feel encouraged to share your opinion, 45 days to vote. Poll closes on 17 January 2023. 2022...

Either Nole will win Wimbledon again and equal Pete Sampras with his 7th title from the All England Club, or Kyrgios will become the Wimbledon champion and achieve the success that much better tennis players like Rosewall, Lendl or Roddick have striven for in vain. What is the more acceptable...

I may sound as a salty Federer fan, which I think I am, but I really wish that these two guys finally stop winning all the Grand Slams, it's becoming tiresome. So let's bend the rules to try to keep Djokovic and Nadal from winning more majors, just two conditions: -They cannot be banned from...

For me: Australian Open: 2012 over 2009 (because of the 5th set in 2009). A lot of great Aussie Open matches down the years weren’t finals French Open: this will invite debate, but 2014. Compared with 2006 and 2007 where Fed couldn’t cope in the final stages, and 2012 which had patchy periods...

Zverev's 12th approach to defeat a Top 10 opponent in BO5 formula. He's at 0-11 at this moment: 01 2016 AO R128: #2 Murray 0-3 [1-6 2-6 3-6] 02 2016 WIM R32: #9 Berdych 1-3 [3-6 4-6 6-4 1-6] 03 2017 AO R32: #9 Nadal 2-3 [6-4 3-6 7-6 3-6 2-6] 04 2017 WIM R16: #7 Raonic 2-3 [6-4...

Korda plays flawlessly so far (3-0 vs Millman, 3-0 vs Gasquet). Alcaraz forced to defend a matchpoint in R64 against Ramos. Was looking vulnerable. They both clashed last month in Monte-Carlo, Korda was better then. Who's going to win this time? H2H Korda 1-1 Alcaraz Vegas odds (as of 25...

After 8 tries Felix finally won his first title please vote and tell us what´s going to happen with him

Daniil still the one defending points. Two matches away from a 2nd Major and World #1. Stefanos would be gunning for 2nd career Final, first Slam and move up to world #3. Certainly playing less than half the time is some kind of edge for CITY BUS!!!!! 3:30AM ET 7:30PM Melbourne

There's no Nadal vs Djokovic, we have Nadal vs Berrettini instead. Quite significant match, how will it go? H2H Nadal 1-0 Berrettini Road To The SF Vegas odds (as of 26 January) Sources: atptour.com oddsportal.com What do you think?

AO is gone, but what about the rest?

Who is the most ready to take Zverev out? Please pick up to three players.
