    Roger VS Novak - the season they turned 38 years old

    This is a comparison between Rogers' 19 season where he turned 38 in august and Novaks' 25 where he turned 38 in may which is a fair comparison : Recap Rogers' season: Australian Open – 4th Round loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas Dubai – Winner (def. Tsitsipas in final) Indian Wells – Finalist (lost...

    RF02 -- speculation?

    What are people's thoughts on Wilson and an RF02 product? Do we think it will happen at all? If so, I'm guessing 2027-2028 ish. If it happens, will we see a return to PWS? What are people's thoughts/expectations here?

    Sinner–Murray–Fed comparison at age 20–22

    Sinner faced Nole and Rafa 8 times. Murray faced Fed and Rafa 17 times, which is actually more than Fed’s total top5 matches during the same age span. Thoughts?

    Thiem defeated Federer on every surface

    Dominic Thiem remains imo the best player born in the 90s. He may not have the same resume as Medvedev, but Thiem faced tougher competition. He also defeated Federer on every surface, although it has to be said it was ******* - but still a great accomplishment. Sadly the two never faced each...

    The GOAT of Cincy

    It has to be Roger - 7 titles, by far the best in the Open Era ahead of Mats Wilander (4). Cincy used to be a place where Federer produced his best tennis, especially later on his career with notable victories in 2014 and 2015 defeating younger opponents such as Djokovic and Murray. For Roger...

    Federer's NEO backhand

    I mean just how good was Roger Federer's NEO backhand? I think Robbie Koenig talked about in 2017, saying "in the phanteom of great shots, this backhand is right up there!" It's a shame we never got to see THIS Federer against Djokovic, who of course never bothered to face Federer in his down...

    Federer's 100 best points at the Miami Open

    Federer's game is truly missed these days when every other player plays the same way, mostly without finesse, skill and variety. Miami Open is starting this week so I give Roger's 100 best points at the tournament which he 4 times (2005, 2006 2017 & 2019)

    Was Hewitt any worse during 04-05 than 01-02?

    To be clear, I'm offering no opinion on this, for I have none. I haven't watched much of Hewitt during his period at number one since...well since it happened. But a fact I assume well known by most on here is that in every slam tournament he entered through 2004 and 2005 — all bar the French...

    Would 2012 Roger Federer win Indian Wells 2025?

    I recently went back and watched all of Federer's matches in Indian Wells 2012. Apart from a pretty average Kudla, he fought off an inspired Belllucci, dealt with the newcomer Raonic who was already really good, destroyed Del Potro and Nadal in straight sets and then quite easily finished off...

    What is your definition of the Big4 Era?

    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)...

    Carlos Alcaraz = Big 3?

    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...
