I've always been curios - who would be the real GOAT if fantasy tournament could gather all the best from different periods. And these best players would be on their best, on their given day. Relatively speaking, speeds, phisical conditions and rackets now and during Rod Laver era are completely...

We can easily agree that 2004-23 is the most fitting 'Big3 Era' concept, dominated by one, two, or all three of them consistently throughout. However, at the core of this Big3 Era, Murray reached significant heights—taking the 2016 YE#1 and 2015 YE#2 rankings. His well defined prime (2008-2016)...

I'm not saying that Carlos Alcaraz is as good as the Big 3 together, let alone one of them, but to me there's no denying that his game resembles different qualities of the Big 3's games, for instance with Djokovic it's the sliding backhand and the drop shot + lob combo, with Federer it's the...

Hi @TW Staff Are there any Rafa caps in the incoming Holiday 2024 collection? And if there are, would you happen to know the colorways and approximate release dates? Please, and many thanks.

2004-2023: Their first and last YE#1s & multiple slams 2007-2021: Nole's first & Fed's last top 5 ranking 2011-2018: Nole's first & Fed's last #1 ranking 2008-2018: Nole’s first & Fed’s last slam Or something else? I think 2004-2023 is the most fitting 'BIG3 ERA' concept. During this period...

We have 'Nole Slam' = NCYGS It's time for a new term, the 'Djokovic Slam' = 'Career Slam' + 'Career Masters' + Tour Finals + OG. 'Career Masters' = all 9-slot Masters. The 'Djokovic Slam' is a complete ATP big title set. Edit: I agree 'Diamond Slam' is a more fitting term. The 'Venn Diagram'...

Okay here we go. Rafa having won 3 matches in a row for the first time since September 2022 goes up against the Czech youngster Lehechka who is known for his big hitting prowess. Does Rafa have enough gas in the tank to overcome yet another tough challenge? Or will the Czech be the one taking...
