So is tennis actually more popular now?
That would mean Fed and Nadal were not so big after all, and it's just TTW being nostalgic.
Neither are Messi, Jordan, or Tyson for that matter.

They are legends, who the establishment and rich boomers were behind.

Both boomers and the establishment quickly move onto the next best thing.

It means people are not as fanatic like most of us here that discuss just 3 players, that's one great thing about normal or casual fans lol they have their fans of course but if they win they win if they lose they lose, and move on

How is Rublev boring with that massive forehand? He often hits crazy winners.
Because the rest of his game sucks. He has no style and no imagination. Just hits hard with his forehand and is very predictable about missing whenever you give him something different. Biggest one trick pony ever.
It's like a car with a limited horsepower, that you can drive but never redline.

You overcome, adapt, improvise.

He does the best he can do, with the gifts he has. You gotta respect players like that.

Good match overall. Could've been a great one had they both held serve until the TB. Congrats to Rubles. Very composed to seal his QF spot.
