    What exactly does the PTPA want? Who could profit, who lose?

    First let us step back and look at the big picture. Gill does a great job as so often. Filing the lawsuit seems like the last roll of the dice after failing to enlist enough (top)players to threaten direct actions like strikes. What seems clear is that ‘they’ want to move the Exhos, which...

    Prediction Thread: How many HC slams will Sinner win in the next 5 years?

    Between 2025 and 2029, how many of the 10 hardcourt slam trophies will Jannik Sinner earn? (I'm not usually big on predictions and polls, but...)

    Two Questions about Slam Seeding and Matchups/Brackets

    I just saw a thread about tournament seeding and bracketing from 19 years ago get bumped and thought I'd start a new one, partly out of stubbornness, but also to inspire a better discussion. To be clear, I'm not asking for an explanation of how this works at present. Admittedly, it rankles me...

    The 6 Year Curse. (Tilden)

    I have some really old threads I started about this I'd rather not unearth due to other content. Plus it's time for a fresh discussion after Novak's latest failure which like Federer he had two bites at the apple. The Curse 1926-Bill Tilden fails to defend his USO title for a 7th consecutive...

    A 31-36 yo Nadal has won 44% of all the Slams he has entered since Carlos Moya became his coach.

    From Wimbledon 2014 till the end of 2016 Rafa went 19-7 in Grand Slam matches, Moya joined the team in December 2016 and since then he is 102-10. AO : 31-5 (86%) 2017 : Final 2018 : Quarterfinal 2019 : Final 2020 : Quarterfinal 2021 : Quarterfinal 2022 : Champion FO : 40-1 (98%) 2017 ...

    Now that we've reached the Round of 16 ...

    (except for the Zverev/Sock match) ...here's a question. A. Can you name all the WTA players who have reached at least the Round of 16 in all 4 slams in 2021? B. Same question for the men: Name all the players who have reached at least the R of 16 in all 4 slams this year -- (one of them is...

    What slams/ATPs and stages would you recommend after RG and Wimbledon?

    This year I attended semi finals- male and finale- both female and male of RG and Wimbledon- the men finale. I don't know if I should call it a season or try Paris/Turin when the weather is bad or wait out till clay (and Rafa) season. Right now here it's 15 degrees and raining all the time and I...

    "Deep" Questions

    In no particular order: At what point, does a tourney/slam become a "pet" tourney/slam? Why is it so important to define "peak" and "prime"? Why is it useful to pin down the definition of an ATG (all-time great)? Feel free to answer and/or add to the list. Please keep it non-partisan and civil.

    Come on roger fans, we didnt even expect all this.

    We thought he was done and dusted after tsitsipas out-federer-ed him at AO19 4R this year. As it was a steeply going downfall since IW18 and we thought he'd hit the lowest valley. Then he has forged himself back, won 3 more titles, made french semi finals at 38 & Wimbledon finals. Even there we...

    When will Tsitsipas take over as No. 1?

    Of all the NextGen players, Tsitsipas is proving to be the most reliable, consistent and talented of all the players. He's won titles on hardcourt and clay and bested some of the best players, including Nadal on clay. I'm not his biggest fan by any means, but I have to admit he's probably the...

    Minimum number of slams for Nole so as to not disappoint

    If you had said to me last year after the FO that Nole would end his career with three more slams I would have been ecstatic and probably would have thought that was more than I could reasonably expect at the time. But that was then and this is now. Given where we stand today, Nole with 15...

    If nadal fails to win French open this year and federer wins wimbledon and/or Us open, then?........

    Most likely the slam race will be over for ever, atleast in this era. What to say friends? As if rafa won't win this FO, he will struggle throughout the 2018, and even if it does not happen, Nadal has not been successful in defending a hard court title, throughout the span of his respectable...

    ATP Sofia Open 2018 - Donskoy vs Lacko -- ATP Dubai 2017 - Federer vs Donskoy

    In this match I believe Lacko was stronger, considerably. After winning the first set (6-4) and after the first game of the second set (where Donskoy won a service game), I saw Lasko very laxed. I had a feeling he already knew he would win the match -- actually it looked like he let Donskoy win...
