So whether you go live rankings or live race or something else (other than wishful thinking), who do you regard as the Top 5 right now per ATP and WTA -- in 1-5 order? Try not to put too much stock in the past or in your projection of the future, although I may have? My own: MEN: Sinner...

Just curious on what users on this forum would do edit: Also, Masseur*

Great compilation from Reddit*, with the top50 of players with over a hundred tiebreaks played! *Credit to imtheguy55

Raw graphite? wonder what it is if this is just a limited paint job that looks the same as auxetic 1.0 because sinner won’t use any other paint job. that would be the worst case scenario.

Great article by Jeff about Mensik, with a highly interesting graph. On top we see players with a strong combination of rally skills. On the right we have great 'decent serve' with 'big follow-up' players. The position of Mensik stirred the curiosity of Jeff and I also find Cerundolo's and...

PTPA filed a long document which offers some interesting detail about the world of tennis but also some strange stuff: Everybody with a passing knowledge of the case should have know that ITIA, after their thorough investigation - corroborated by the WADA's even more detailed one - accepted...

Asked a similar question before the ban, but now that it is actually happening, I'm posting it again. Do you consider the tournaments played during these three months to be asterisked? On the one hand, Sinner is the #1 player on the ATP Tour, he's won the last two majors, and he hasn't lost a...

As most people track results and not performance they easily miss player improvements. Statistically Sinner was from August 2022 to 2023 part of a trio behind dominant Djokovic and trending up. He looks a bit better due to a lower opponent ranking, but also worse due to matching up terribly...

Crazy who well the tour serves these days. On fast HC returning has become increasingly difficult, as servers win an ever higher proportion of points. Much of tennis pivots around this serve-return dynamic and the big follow-ups... Updated weekly(ish). Last update: 2025-03-03 Player...

Jannik Sinner beat Alex Zverev 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3 in the Australian Open final, 2025 on hard court Top seeded Sinner was the defending champion and reigning US Open champion. Zverev was second seed and this was his first final at the even and 3rd Slam final (all losses) Sinner won 107 points...

Article Novak Djokovic on Monday urged tennis authorities to overhaul the sport's anti-doping system, pointing to "inconsistencies" in cases involving top stars Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek and those of lower-ranked players. World number one Sinner agreed to a three-month ban on Saturday...

Some rough comparison of the current state of Fonsinneraz + old Djokovic. Joao is like Novak obviously handicapped by his age - maybe I will post some age-adjusted stuff - but his game already stacks up surprisingly well. In some ways we have in "rally" a Carlos-Joao and Novak-Jannik pairing...

The "unique sets of facts of this case" have set alight a fuse running to a bomb under WADA, risking the exposure of their inner fallibility to both demand strict liability and using no threshold to protect the innocent against false accusations. By offering Sinner a resolution of a short ban...

Carlos Alcaraz beat Jannik Sinner 6-7(6), 6-4, 7-6(3) in the Beijing final, 2024 on hard court It was Alcaraz’ first title at the event and his third win over Sinner in the year, with no losses. Sinner, the defending champion, had recently won US Open and would shortly after win Shanghai...

Brilliant research about a most remarkable aspect of the tactical serve approach by the number 1: The most valuable part of the article, supported by detailed data follows and the logical conclusion follows: Best to read Jannik Sinner’s Missing First Serve Points by Sackmann, written after...

Man, these tall, consistent, power players are a SNOOZE to watch. I’ve seen them all live, both in practice and in play and they are BORING. Every match is the same. Serve tall man big serve, deep return down the middle, shovel two handed backhand to backhand, change to deep forehand...

Sinner beats Djokovic on HC but sturggles against Alcaraz (4-1 H2H v/s 2-5 H2H) Djokovic beats Alcaraz on HC but struggles against Sinner (3-0 H2H v/s 1-4 H2H) Alcaraz beats Sinner on HC but struggles against Djokovic (5-2 H2H v/s 0-3 H2H) Can someone please answer the following questions? Why...

H2H is 2-2 HC H2H is 1-1 First slam match between the two. Defending champ fron 2024 v/s the Danish youngster. Who wins? How many sets?

Half of the decade left to be played out but I have a hard time imagining it will be any other rivalry that will top this in in the 2020s. They have played 10 times with 6-4 in the H2H to Alcaraz, with the Grand Slam matches H2H being 2-1 to Alcaraz so far. Sinner's looking as the better player...

Martina slams the decision of WADA to appeal the ‘no negligence’ part of ITIA’s ruling based on expert opinion. Contrary to the (ex-)players of Nasty&Company she shows an understanding of the issue, indicating a careful reading of the evidence. Contrast that to the intellectual depth of a former...

In the context of the cases of Sinner and then Swiatek, some members and I, tried to explain here a very simple logic; performing more of much more sensitive tests will result in a much larger amount of ‘false positives’, in the form on insignificant contaminations. Nice to see the boss of WADA...

The world is full of wild fancies but the ITIA report states Sinner was contaminated without fault or negligence. CAS will look into the appeal of WADA, which wants to clarify if there is some negligence on the part of the player. Obviously, no relevant body accuses the number 1 of doping, given...
