roland garros

Hello! Today i will share with you some more photos from tennis life. As i was connected to this life for the last quarter of century i have not only a huge collection of personal racquets from ATP and WTA stars, but also a lot of great photos. The first one today from Paris-2008. I had unique...

Iga Swiatek has made Paris her playground in a manner echoing her idol Rafa as well as tennis great Evert, although she is still in the beginning phases. Can Coco Gauff challenge her on her home turf or will she have to wait until the French Open champ begins to lose steam? She may never reach...

Today I'm with cool content. Two alike racquets. But actually not. Let's make a comparison between Rafa Nadal personal racquet, that was used by him during final at Roland-Garros 2014 and retail version of this AeroPro Drive paintjob. Let's start with visual differences. First: Cortex System...

Obviously one of the greatest returners and all-court players of the last decades. The Clay Goat will leave the tour and the Goat, the second most successful clay courter in the last three decades is showing sometimes his age. So can he start a winning streak? Updated weekly(ish). Last...

For the first time in 20 years, someone not named Nadal, Djokovic, Federer or Wawrinka will be the men's French Open champion. Let that soak in. Just an insane era we've been privileged to witness.

A lot of posters here have great recall - better than mine - for greatest, or personal favorite, matches. I thought I'd start a (positive, please) thread asking you to name your favorite matches at each of the three M1000s, as well as Roland Garros. Women's matches happily included as well. No...

Looks like these are already out in Britain. Does anyone know when they are being released in the US?

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...

Of course, do as many as you want, for both tours: ** Best Aussie(s) to never win the Australian Open: Best French player(s) to never take Roland Garros: Best Brit(s) to never capture Wimby: Best Americans to never garner the US Open trophy: ** It could be the best overall player or the...

On a scale of 10 to 10, 10 being stunning.

This match, Alcaraz vs Djokovic, is going to be a classic. In fact, Roland Garros produces a classic semifinal every 2 years : 2009 : Federer d. Del Potro in 5 2011 : Federer d. Djokovic in 4 2013 : Nadal d. Djokovic in 5 2015 : Djokovic d. Murray in 5 2017 : Wawrinka d. Murray in 5 2019 ...

With two rounds completed - in both singles draws - at RG, as we approach the Round of 32, we have seen that there have been a lot of upsets. As 32 players are seeded, if those seeds won their first two matches, every matchup would have two seeds competing. In the men's draw, there are only 5...

Since 2019, all Grand Slams have been losing their own personality for some reason that I never heard of. Some of the sad changes made by each major: -AO: No more Thu-Fri night men's SF and Thu afternoon women's SF, no more ad-set final set. -RG: Scheduled night sessions, divided one-W one-M QF...

I already solved it (but for whatever reason can't seem to delete the post). I never intended to make money from it, it's just personal use, so I don't think removing the watermark for such purposes should be very problematic... Anyway, I still wrote the info from the watermark in a less visible...

Well, since all other QFs got a thread I guess this one should, too.

Zverev's 12th approach to defeat a Top 10 opponent in BO5 formula. He's at 0-11 at this moment: 01 2016 AO R128: #2 Murray 0-3 [1-6 2-6 3-6] 02 2016 WIM R32: #9 Berdych 1-3 [3-6 4-6 6-4 1-6] 03 2017 AO R32: #9 Nadal 2-3 [6-4 3-6 7-6 3-6 2-6] 04 2017 WIM R16: #7 Raonic 2-3 [6-4...

It is the most awaited tennis match since 2021 RG SF, can't wait for it. Clash #59 in one of the greatest rivalries of all time. H2H Djokovic 30-28 Nadal Vegas odds (as of 29 May) TBA Sources: atptour.com oddsportal.com

Korda plays flawlessly so far (3-0 vs Millman, 3-0 vs Gasquet). Alcaraz forced to defend a matchpoint in R64 against Ramos. Was looking vulnerable. They both clashed last month in Monte-Carlo, Korda was better then. Who's going to win this time? H2H Korda 1-1 Alcaraz Vegas odds (as of 25...

Take the poll. Which are your favorite 5-set French Open finals in the Open Era? Impressively, of the 9 times that the final went 5 sets, 4 of those times were 0-2 sets down comeback wins.

This could be the very last ATP match for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga as he has announced 2022 RG is his final professional tournament before the retirement. https://www.atptour.com/en/news/tsonga-retirement-announcement-2022 H2H Ruud 0-0 Tsonga Vegas odds (as of 20 May) Sources: atptour.com...

Clay is Djokovic's least favorite surface, yet he's still a beast on the surface. In your opinion, what is his greatest clay achievement?

So, the basis of draws: In the 3rd round, seeds 1-16 meet/encounter 17-32 (1-8 meets 25-32, 9-16 meets 17-23). In the 4th round seeds 1-8 meet seeds 9-16 (1-4 meets 13-16, 5-8 meets 9-12). In the quarterfinal, seeds 1-4 meet seeds 5-8. In the semifinal, seeds 1-2 meet seeds 2-3. In the final...

There's understandably a lot of chatter about this young star, but going from M1000 champ to Slam champ is a big step up. Still, with Nole off the court for so long, Rafa returning from injury, Tsitsipas seemingly discombobulated, and no one else stepping up so far...the field is open. And...

So I think this string looks really cool. I, admittedly, am into a good aesthetic for string, racquets, all my gear. :rolleyes: But there are very few reviews of this string. Its a unique (1.28) guage and again the color is cool. Slightly brighter than element...? Anyone have experience on...

Shoulda, woulda, coulda... won RG that year? Discuss. Pd: Also for any racquet experts lurking on this forum, this one other of my threads needs some urgent love... https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/wilson-blade-98l-v6-and-wilson-pro-staff-97l-v13.711442/

I remember we had a thread about 2006 Fed vs 2020 Nadal with some interesting poll results here: https://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index.php?threads/2006-fed-or-2020-nadal-who-would-win-at-rg.698078/ Let's do one for Djokovic, but the comparison is a bit more generic than one specific year. I am...
