Grand slam seeds stuff: Gali Monfis vs Perricard 1st round thriller match is exactly why I think there should be 64 seeds. Perricard is like 30th ranked and Monfis(41). They shouldn’t have to meet in a first round. In form Monfis won title in Auckland. The top 64 players basically shouldn’t...

Khachanov, Medvedev and Rublev are all promising young players. It reminds me of the French 10 years ago when Tsonga, Monfils and Gasquet were also full of promises. Unfortunately, these guys never won Grand Slams. Do you think the Russians will follow the same way ? My opinion is that they...

Okay, this is yet another Laver Cup thread, and I realize that LC is just an exhibition. But given that there is some pressure to win when teammates are counting on you, do you think Zverev's win yesterday will give him a confidence boost in slam tournaments? Don't laugh...well, you can. Most...
