Fed can still get no.1 at some point if he wins Wimb again.
I know, but he could have a couple of weeks more that he won't get if Rafa wins tomorrow:( I'm greedy with dem weeks. No one is allowed to come close to the most important records: Total grand slam titles and weeks at #1. Those are sacred.

Z fans will be delighted to know that I’ll be leaving this board if Z ever wins a slam.

The fandom is bad enough as it is, will only get worse when he starts vulturing slams.
 
Ha ha one thing is for sure. Z fans are outwitting the haters ;):p
Hate usually blinds one to reality... I'm not a big Zed fan but I do want to get on with a new gen of tennis. The kid has fight and tenacity being screwed on flipflop line calls in a TB, and literally just taking matches at the tail of a set he was down in, yesterday and today on the tail end of 3 straight weeks of winning tennis. What's not to like? He hasn't broke as many racquets as Safin yet I mean wtf?
 
How is he not classy? Never broken a racquet, never has outbursts, great guy and an amazing representative of the sport.

Yes I’m a hater but it’s not misplaced hate, it’s rational and justified hate.
So amazing representative of sport calls request for self serving 2 year no.1 format? Lol just lol...

It's quite an accomplishment. Zverev is absolutely everything I despise. Boring game, incapable of hitting a volley, no charisma, arrogant as F with nothing to back it up, looks like a giant baby stick, has an extremely punchable face etc.

I can honestly say I like Nadal more and never in my wildest dreams have I imagined anyone could surpass him. The funny part is that besides a couple of MS won in joke draws he hasn't really achieved anything.

Boring game? Yeah, he's not Shapo...but how could you not love those FH slices he was hitting? He won points with that shot. I was very impressed.

@Meles You got the Tennis TV stats for this match?
LOL. Are you lazy? I'm not going to screen capture, but I'll relay some of the tea leave stats that the ATP doesn't record on matches:
1. 22 winners for Zverev to 26 UE, Cilic 21/29
2. Serve speed Zverev 208 kph first and 161 kph on 2nd (Cilic 198/147) Zverev had the only double fault of the match.

I believe all the stats may be a bit deceptive as Zverev appears to be erring on the side of aggression in his matches until crunch time where he really tightens up his game. Sampras like almost in conserving energy, but a bit looser on his serve games because if he has a rash of close errors (Goffin) he may donate a break.:oops:

Eh, I don't have a subscription right now, and yes, I can be rather lazy at times. :D
