...all the masters titles in one year?? 5 down, 4 to go. Could he do it? Is it a more difficult accomplishment than CYGS? For me, they're about equal, but the fact no one has ever done this one tells us something. Discuss.

Whos excited for an eventual clash between Carlos and Sinner ? 9 of the Top 20 will be there , are you keeping an eye on someone else there ? Marca Article : Carlos Alcaraz, after his stop in Bahrain where he attended Formula One team training sessions, is heading this Saturday to Qatar, his...

Given that hardcourt was Rafa's weakest surface and Carlos had so much early success, it's just matter of little time to see some air between both. Jannik has overtaken the Mallorcan quite some time ago. The return numbers of Carlitos are superb while is serve plus game is still improving...

When will somebody serve 175 mph, for reference the fastest ever is 163 mph at a challenger match, the fastest ATP serve ever is 157 by John Isner and Giovanni Mpteshi Perricard hit one 153 mph at Wimbledon this year. I think its never happening.

I got both of em reaching 20

Curious how people feel. I don't mean to lead the witness but that seems to be a common opinion and maybe my own as well. I don't have a ton of time with recent HEAD racquets these days but this older Speed MP Graphene XT has soooo much more feel. Kinda bummed on how nice a racquet can be in...

Brilliant research about a most remarkable aspect of the tactical serve approach by the number 1: The most valuable part of the article, supported by detailed data follows and the logical conclusion follows: Best to read Jannik Sinner’s Missing First Serve Points by Sackmann, written after...

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...

... and doing so at a younger age than Federer and Djokovic! Bald buff Nappa screaming on behalf of some members of the TTW board ... P.S: Inspired by the caption of 'Super-Sinner' by Jeff Sackmann, in his excellent 'Yes, Jannik Sinner is really that good!' with this great opening: P.P.S...

Funny take by good sport Machac and a ahh... sorry by Sinner. Not the first time he has broken some equipment - not his racket - on the tour:

First Italian to clinch one of the greatest achievements of the sport already in early October!

Hottest rivalry right now in tennis. Please vote. I have my personal theory but will formulate it later…

And he did it, even if he is, in his own words not the smartest… His motto in life: Always look forward…

…after becoming the posterboy for Speed 2024, which was launched on 18th January? Indian Wells is now the third tournament after AO and Rotterdam where we see Sinner still using racquets with the old paintjob, doesn’t make any sense from marketing perspective.

I just wanted to make a shoutout to some guys you see on this picture from an excellent article of Supertennis! I translated the quoted parts but there is lots of good stuff there in Italian to machine translate. Max Sartori gets interviewed about the old days, I actually forgot that Seppi...

Jannik Sinner's brilliant final run of 2023 has cemented his status as one of the very best (indoor) hardcourt players. In fact according to Elo only Djokovic is, slightly, ahead of him. Big success on clay has eluded him despite the perception of him was quite different in 2021 when Jeff...

Over the Sinner thread we have long discussed a paradox, his overall strong stats and his serve weakness relative to his height. Now Jeff Sackman has come up with something very strange, an extremely low delta/difference between the win percentage of the second and the first serve: ... His...
