masters 1000

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

Tennis TV's YT channel doing a stunning job of compiling the best ATP moments in the year behind us. Check them out. Merry Christmas, mugs.

Which one would you say was the most stunning?

The first ever meeting between two talented young players, how does it go? Can Shelton's lefty serve pose big trouble for Alcaraz or does Alcaraz wear Shelton from the ground? Vote and discuss

I was searching for the next Zverev match and was surprised seeing his first appearance on Friday. Is this an overkill? Would you want more compact schedule or prolonged ones where you can see all players matches. IW, Miami, Madrid and Rome have 96 men draws.

Since 2018, there have been 13 new ATP Masters 1000 champions (Del Potro, Isner, Khachanov, Thiem, Fognini, Medvedev, Hurkacz, Tsitsipas, Norrie, Fritz, Alcaraz, Carreño, Coric) and 12 new WTA 1000 champions (Osaka, Stephens, Bertens, Sabalenka, Andreescu, Barty, Keys, Swiatek, Giorgi, Badosa...

2022: 4 (Fritz, Alcaraz, Carreno Busta, Coric) 2021: 3 (Hurkacz, Tsitsipas, Norrie) 2020: 0 <------------------------------------------------- {only three tournaments held, due to covid} 2019: 3 (Thiem, Fognini, Medvedev) 2018: 3 (Del Potro, Isner, Khachanov) 2017: 3 (Zverev, Dimitrov, Sock)...

This is a remaking of the Hitman thread. He appears to have left permanently. Just rebuilding the thread to maintain the numbers. For the purposes of this thread, I'll define "Next Gen" as those players born 1995 and later. I will include the newest Next Gen classes born in the 2000s. Name...

ATP H2H: 7-3 for Tsitsipas Clay H2H: 3-0 for Tsitsipas How do you see this match? Stef is a better clay court player, but Sascha is more successful in Madrid, winning 2 titles. I'm expecting a three-set battle.

Defending champion: Fabio Fognini Past MC champions, who will participating in the 2021 edition: Rafael Nadal (2005-12, 2016-18); Novak Djokovic (2013, 2015) Official website: http://www.monte-carlorolexmasters.com/ Draw: Edition: 114th (52nd in the Open era) Date: 11 – 18 April Category...

We will have a Masters event without the Big 3. In each of the past 138 Masters tournaments we got to watch at least one among Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, who have combined for 99 titles at this level. With Djokovic announcing his withdrawal from 2021 Miami Open about an hour ago, that streak...

In my opinion, this guy was the best of the best in the 2nd tier of players outside the big 4 (Fed, Rafa, Djoko, Murray) during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Some significant accolades/results Ferrer posted: General: 20 years on tour, 1999-2019 High of #3 in the world (Top 10 for 292...

The Italian Open 2020 Final will feature 5-times Rome champion Novak Djokovic against first time M1000 finalist Diego Schwartzman. The H2H series is 4-0 for Nole, but on clay, Peque forced the deciding set in both matches, including last year's Rome SF. Match will start not before 17:00 local...

ATP Masters 1000 title leaders Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic return to Rome for the Internazionali BNL d'Italia. Last year, the pair faced off in the final at the Foro Italico, a match Nadal won in three sets before proceeding to claim his 12th Roland Garros crown. The Spaniard will be going...

Folks, With the Miami Open having a new location/stadium, which one should be the most prestigious one? Is IW still the standard for what a M1000 is supposed to be? Is the Miami Open now the standard? Which one has the overall to be the 5th Slam?

Hi! How you doin' peeps? I'm new to this forum, this is my first thread. I'm been a fan of Rafa for a little while now, got my heart ripped out and thrown into acid watching Wimbledon 2018 SF, aged at least 5 years watching Rafa vs Khachanov at USO over a month ago, went to sleep at the start...

The tournament will begin on March 19th, and end on April 1st. Draw: ****IF A MOD SEES THIS, PLEASE DELETE THIEM FROM THE POLL AND REPLACE HIM WITH DIMITROV ~~ THANKS!**** Who will win this one? Will Fed redeem himself for his IW loss or will someone new surprise us this time around...

Every match between these two I can remember has been great, always awesome quality matches. with Del Po finally coming over some real hard backhands, you could consider me excited. Predictions? Will Del Po finally get his a M1000?

Pretty straightforward question. I'd guess IW and Miami are the top 2 because of the size of the draws and the higher prize money (although I think Shanghai offers almost as much prize money as IW). How about the others?

Grass tennis is so exciting because it brings out nuances of touch and finesse you simply don't see on HC. A grass Masters is hence necessary. Cancel one of Paris and Shanghai. As for the WTF, it is a one-of-its-kind event, and hence needs to rotate between surfaces so that the top players can...

Kyrgios is 0-1 against Ferrer. John is 1-0 against dimitrov. I wanna see Kyrgios vs John .. And Kyrgios to win .. your thoughts and favorites ??

Since 2004, these players won a Masters 1000 title without beating a Top-10 player in the course: -Nadal: Rome 2005, Madrid 2005, Montecarlo 2010, Rome 2010, Montecarlo 2017 -Federer: Toronto 2006 -Djokovic: Rome 2008 -Murray: Shanghai 2016, Paris 2016* -Robredo: Hamburg 2006 -Roddick...
