masters

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

Well, as we've seen this year in Indian wells & now Miami masters, the rain has disrupted play & the scheduling afterwards would inevitably end up being unfair to some players; which is a sad outcome. Throughout the last few years, we've been witnessing abrupt & unpredictable rain delays due to...

Hey guys, Did anybody get to correct their name with the ITF? I entered my full name there. Not from USA, so 3 different surnames. My name in the draw is atrocious. Would love to only leave one of the surnames there (that is my "preferred name" on the IPIN website). Did anybody manage to do...

Which one is more prestigious! Vote please my friends

The last 4 or so Masters champions haven't won any Grand Slam, and even two of them haven't reached a major final. Discuss.

With DelPotro out for injury and Nadal probably out too (I don't see him taking risks for 2 tournaments he never won and he isn't likely to win), this is probably gonna be the 8 players of the Masters this year. 1. Djokovic 2. Federer 3. Zverev 4. Cilic 5. Anderson 6. Thiem 7. Nishikori 8...

Idemo Nole!!! Come on!!! Vamosss!! Next, Roger or David!

Yes you heard it here. And this is not because of fed's loss against del, but due to the reduction in quality of masters' final matches and more upsets. Just see the reduced quality in masters finals and uncertaninities there.... Sascha and Dimi winning 3 M1000 combined was the proof of it Also...

La Dolce Vita At Italian Open Italian Open, or Rome Masters, features the best players at the Foro Italico in Rome. The tournament is one of the three ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events contested on clay, but the event is more than just tennis; it is a total entertainment experience. High...

2017.04.03 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Miami W 1,000 2017.04.17 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Monte Carlo R32 10 2017.05.08 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Madrid W 1,000 2017.05.15 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Rome F 600 2610p to defend. Your prediction is better or worse this year?

i think for the first time in years he will fall out of the top 2 maybe even down to 5. He already is in a bit of a slump and he has a lot of points to defend at the masters and the French.

It's the only Masters he's missing, and it's worth more than all the slams combined. Will he ever do it, or will Fed God, Murray, and Rafa stand in his way forever?

If a passerby glanced at random Player v Player threads- (ie. Djokovic v Federer, Federer v Nadal, Djokovic v Lendl) they would see a lot of talk about Grand Slams. Obviously, Grand Slams are the crux of the sport, the pinnacle of pinnacles, and the crowning achievements for most tennis players...
