    A general discussion - Should there be a roof at all big non-slam events?

    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...

    Djokodal will be BETTER at the slams in 2023 than in 2022

    Nadal came into the AO having taken 6 months off, and he got covid 3 weeks before the tournament. At the French Open, Nadal was dealing with an injured, numb foot and Djokovic by his own admission was still dealing with the fallout of earlier in the year. This then extended to Wimbledon where...

    A definitive guide to accurately predicting Rafa Nadal's slam results + behaviour (PROVEN)

    As soon as Nadal turned up to the US Open in this brown monstrosity, it was clear his tournament was doomed: After all, we can see that in recent years, since Moya became coach, Nadal’s results are entirely decided by the quality of his kit. GOATy kits == Slam wins . . . . . . Nice and...

    How Fedalovic will retire on 20-20-20 slams

    Federer, mentally broken after the Wimbledon defeat in 2019 won't win another slam, however after Wimbledon 2020 he will gather all his might and win gold in Olympic singles defeating Djokovic in the final denying him the only title he hasn't won. He will then retire after Olympics. Nadal, will...

    The NCYGS is completed

    Not the moral NCYGS. Its a real NCYGS Not for a single player, but for slam finals. This AO19 final result generated a NCYGS of 4 boring, one sided slam finals in a row..... Last 4 slam finals RG 18 :- Nadal Def. Thiem 6-4 6-3 6-2 Wim 18 :- Djok Def. Anderson 6-2 6-2 7-6 Uso 18 :- Djok Def...

    The Slam Race is drawing to a close

    This USO was crucial for Rafa in his quest to overtake Federer. Now the difference between them remains 3 GS, the same since 2014. I know Rafa can still win a couple more RGs(at max) and maybe eke out a USO going ahead, but I don't see him catch Federer, here on. The field is getting tougher and...

    Thiem or A. Zverev, who wins a slam first?

    Both of these guys will win a grand slam sometime in the next 4 years, possibly sooner. So who do you think wins one first? I go with Thiem winning RG before Zverev wins his first slam (USO). Give your opinions.

India, China, and Russia combined are home to over 2.8 billion people. They are world centers of commerce, production, and exchange. So why does a...

    "Quantifying Cakewalks, or The Time Rafa Finally Got Lucky"

    A nice article from Tennis Abstract that helps putting in perspective the perceived difficulty of a path to a slam semi or slam win. Interesting especially since it factors in the actual path and the players met, not the supposed path as laid out by the draw...

    Round of 16 Ceiling Players

    I was just thinking about how Roberto Bautista-Agut has been remarkably consistent in Slams over the last 3 years. He always seems to get to the 4th round before bowing out to the likes of Djokovic, Federer or Murray. Bautista-Agut has made the 4th round at every major BUT he has never gone...

    Sampras Djokovic similarities

    I've noticed several things that are very close between Sampras and Djokovic, as the title says. Similarities: Sampras won his first Grand Slam in 1990- the US Open. 11 slams later, he breaks through to win his second. Djokovic won his first Grand Slam in 2008- the Australian Open. 12 slams...
