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...

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...

That bad streak shouldn't be continued. 2019 unfortunate ending with an injury. 2020 line judge drama. 2021 big upset in the final. 2022 vaccination drama. Novak won't play there anymore.

Vote in the poll.

I’m not saying he will win it, because no-one does meltdowns like he does and he may find the “easy” draw a curse and not a blessing. But purely from a tennis point of view, Nick is surely the guy going in with the most pedigree, right? Serve is looking deadly on the skidding court, he can S&V...

It's over. He lost 1R match to Isner in 3 sets.

I see lots of people complaining about how wide open the US open is, and i don't understand why, surely having lots of players that are at the skill level to win a grand slam is a good thing and i don't mean like Emma Raducanu, more like Osaka and Iga, those who have multiple or come close to...

He has no points to defend at the US open, however will lose a 1000 points from Indian wells last year, with his current form, with him reaching the semi final or better in 3 out of 4 of his last tournaments, does he has a shot at going far in the US, or will he surfer and early round defeat...

As we know they have never met at the Flushing Meadows and probably will never meet there in the future. 2008 - 2 sets away :mad: Federer was already waiting in the final but Nadal lost his SF to Murray 1-3 2009 - 3 sets away :( Nadal lost the SF to Del Potro 0-3 Federer advanced to the final...

The tournament starts in 7 weeks. Still a long shot, there's some uncertainty about an entry rules, but let's make a record:

It's already 5000 days. He won his GS #13 at the Flushing Meadows on Monday, 8 September 2008. But that was his very last US Open trophy so far. What happened later? He's reached: 2 finals (2009, 2015) 3 semifinals (2010, 2011, 2014) 3 quarterfinals (2012, 2017, 2019) 2 fourth rounds (2013...

After making a thread for the previous three Slams, I feel kind of obliged for this as well. :X3: Did you enjoy the past two weeks?

(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...

Could be wrong, but I believe this morning's official ATP and WTA rankings will be the cutoff for entry into main and qualifying draws. Meaning someone like a Kevin Anderson on a PR slid into a main draw slot without pushing the cutoff even lower. Effectively round about the top 100 have secured...
