After the craziness of yesterday, all eyes turn to the heavyweight champion of the world and his third round battle

I think that is one thing most real tennis fans can agree on, regardless who you support / dislike. Funny other tennis forums especially in Europe do not have the crap we see here.
Stupid fake wrestling, glutony food pics, anime, manga, whatever should be banned here. Usually posted by internet addicts who do not play tennis, nor understand anything about it.
Agreed 100%. I don't understand why it isn't banned as it is completely off-topic and makes the forum look as if it is populated by mentally deficient teenage boys.

EMW will face one of his fiercest rivals once again. This will be tremendous! Key wants revenge for Tokyo.

It was indeed. :cool:

Bro it’s Nishikori. He’s been pretty much a walking bye for the top guys for years now.

And this is past prime Nishikori at that.

Was anything but a walking bye today.

All eyes? Ok. Some eyes, yes.

Including yours. ;)

If Kei wins more than 10 games it will be surprising.

He actually won a set..

:)
6-1 6-2 6-2

Next.

Not quite. o_O

Nishikori at his peak was already Novak's favorite pigeon with Berdych, at this stage of his career he is a walkover for top players now. And I like Kei, but it will be a miracle already if he takes a set

Well....

Result was never in doubt. He took pity on Nishikori. Losing 17 times must be embarrassing for him. It was a yawnfest.

I did watch some of it as a fan of Kei. Kei was great. Switched off in the middle of set three.

Peak Nadal is a superior athlete.

Maximium topspin.
Maximum power from the baseline
Maximum footspeed

The ultimate beast
I completely disagree with your statement sir...I can further elaborate on my claim with achievements that are unparalleled in tennis history...

If Federer, Nadal and Djokovic were equally skilled on all turfs and all at their peaks physically, then I am sure Nadal will emerge victorious.
He is physically superior to the other 2 guys.
At his peak physically he is Superman, the pinnacle of Tennis.

Only Gael Monfils (assuming he has equal skill) can compete with that Nadal.

Nadal and Monfils are the best tennis playing athletes of this century and Nadal is of all time.

Another reason why you are not 60-80 years old as you try to portray @Spencer Gore
Nobody who is 60+ would ever use teenage as an abuse in a statement, because they value their own teenage and the past, youth which went away cannot be brought back, it is a beautiful phase of life which will be in the distant past for them. Only an arrogant guy in his 20s with his teenage not too far behind him would speak this way of teenagers, so more reasons to believe that you are not watching tennis since the times of laver/rosewall as per your claims, so @zagor and @Third Serve were right about you :-D:-D:-D

Watching Djoker vs Nishikori is a new kind of sadomasochism.

yea, tbh i will prefer a guy like Alcaraz to win instead of this defensive "wait till the other guy loses" attitude.
but sort of understandable that this is his strongest weapon now and all he wants is 21.
but really boring to watch.

13 French Open in 16 years exists.

Pinnacle of Tennis

Only the greatest athlete ever in the history of the tennis universe can do this.
Only the greatest athlete can win double career grand slam on 3 different surfaces

4 slams in a row

Most weeks at number one

Most year ends...

Nadal record is impressive but it is one dimensional.

If Nadal was truly the greatest he would had won more elsewhere.

Naa, 4 in row is just 1 year worth, few year ends type are just cumulative records over the season, many ppl have that....

But true mastery on 1 surface in a way that transcends eras (16 years worth dominance) is what makes him the GOAT Athlete !

He made 3 generation of athletes his slaves "in their peak"

Slave number 1
: Roger Federer and his generation, could not touch Nadal on Clay (Nadal dominated 2005-2008 when this gen was at its peak)
Slave number 2 : Novak Djokovic and his generation, could not touch Nadal on Clay (Nadal dominated 2010-2014 when this gen was at its peak)
Slave number 3 : Dominic Thiem and his generation, could not touch Nadal on Clay (Nadal dominated 2017-2010 when this gen was at its peak)

This is the greatest achievement in the history of the tennis universe in terms of pure athleticism

Fed, Novak and Thiem who were/are the best clay courters of their generations tried and were molested by Nadal for years again and again.

This is the greatest achievement in Tennis for a pure athlete.

Literally no chance by Nadal to challenge Novak..

Still insignificant in comparison to Djokovic who dominated all surfaces and crushed "so called grass goat" and the clay goat at their pet slams..

All masters titles won as well...

Getting his buttocks spanked by Stan and Murray in his peak is not domination.
Losing to Fed or getting stretched to matchpoint by some grandpa is also not domination

Novak has no domination

If someone was better he would have achieved more than Novak.Simple as that.

Federer with inferior achievements was regarded as goat for years and Djokovic devoured him together with his legacy... Literally exposed the fake goat even on his pet slam were he was supposed to be the strongest

This FO cemented the goat case for Novak were he crushed Nadal and 21 whenever happens it will be forever sealed as undisputed goatness...

I am sorry but nothings beats the ultimate athlete...

Novak's 2021 win over a weak gassed out Nadal is of no value.

Lol, I think Andy must be aware of TTW, everything that happens here is in the public domain, so they must be checking these forums once in a while to see what the crowd thinks, even Kyrgios might be reading posts here, we never know.

Novak defeated Nadal on clay two times while Nadal never ever defeated novak on AO...

Of course and all of Nadal's wins against Novak have no value aswell since Novak was also gassed...

As i said his clay achievements are amazing but still inferior in comparison what Novak achieved everywhere else.

AO is not the most important HC Slam

USO is

Nadal is 2-1 there and has 4 titles to Novak's 3

Anyway, these sort of logics I beat you once, you didnt beat me sorta nonsense is irrelevant

13 titles in 16 years is the Ceiling of athleticism in Tennis

What Nadal achieved is great but it is nothing in comparison to what Novak achieved and what will achieve in the future.
