ATP H2H: 6-6 tie Grand Slam H2H: 2-2 tie H2H on HC: 5-3 for Sascha They met at the AO two years ago, with Zod winning in four sets. Will Zod be able to defeat Carlito again, or will Tiny Carl advance to the Happy Slam final for the first time? We'll see this extremely interesting clash on...

ATP H2H: 5-0 for Carlito Their first match against each other at the Grand Slams. One of them will advance to the SF at AO for the first time in his career, and for de Minaur it would even be his first advance into SF at a Grand Slams. Carlito is the big favorite in the match, but can Alex...

Asked something similar in my top 10 questions, but thought I would highlight this question specifically. In 2025, Jannik Sinner reached the final of all four majors. Can he go two wins further and bag all 4?

Defending champion: Jannik Sinner Past USO champions, who will participating in the 2025 edition: Novak Djokovic (2011, 2015, 2018, 2023), Daniil Medvedev (2021), Carlos Alcaraz (2022) Draw: Official website: https://www.usopen.org/index.html Edition: 145th (58th in the Open era) Date...

Djokovic lost to 9th seed Sebastien Grosjean in 4 sets (7-5 6-4 5-7 6-4) Murray lost to 18th seed David Nalbandian in 5 sets (6-7(6) 1-6 6-0 6-4 6-1)

The RG 2025 final was one of the best and most dramatic matches in recent memory, an epic battle that became the second longest GS final in history. However, the Super-TB at 6:6 in the 5th set spoiled this drama. It could have been an even bigger battle if the Super-TB had not been set at all...

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...
