Someone wake me up when Muzz is saving his first match point
My thoughts as well but if his career doesn’t end on an uptick he will be changed for the positive. He has received a nice reward for his time on tour with a beautiful, loving partner and a baby to boot
Sucks to see Monfils like this. Hope he still has some left to go out on his own terms
@Baseline_BungleAll the old guys from the Nadal/Djokovic generation have declined quite a bit except for the Big 2. What strange magic is this?
I could see it. I remember the really nice ceremony at Roland Garros for Tsonga. I'd think Monfils, even if his career wasn't as good, he was a big enough French tennis fixture and he achieved enough to warrant something similar.I feel Monfils could retire at the French Open this year.
Not sure about Isner he did reach the Dallas Open final, to be able to make ATP 250 finals means you still have some gas left, he is also 45th in the World but his overall results have declined as of late.
Murray - Wimbledon 2014 is my prediction when he'll retire.
Fognini is struggling and his ranking is dropping, if he doesn't start winning matches he'll drop out of the top 100, perhaps the Rome Masters could be where he retires this year.
2022 had many mainstays retire, 2023 will sadly be the same....also think of Thiem, he might be 29 but he's only won 1 match this year, losing all the time really hurts your confidence and motivation.
Murray retiring in 2014? Do you have some sort of time machine we don't know about? Going to head back a decade and talk him into hanging it up?Murray - Wimbledon 2014 is my prediction when he'll retire.

will have to see if Thiem can come back and win the French open this year or notThiem still stuck on just 4 sets won this season. And half of those were in losses.
It amazes me that TTW posters have already forgotten that Fed was #2 in the rankings when he was 37 y.o. and was considered a genius by his fans.All the old guys from the Nadal/Djokovic generation have declined quite a bit except for the Big 2. What strange magic is this?
You really had to reply to the same post twice? 40 minutes apart?It amazes me that TTW posters have already forgotten that Fed was #2 in the rankings when he was 37 y.o. and was considered a genius by his fans.
The forehand is just so weak. On average he's executing it at a journeyman challenger player level.Thiem still stuck on just 4 sets won this season. And half of those were in losses.
I didn't think that searching for Fed's ranking in 2018 took so much time. Secondly, I wonder why my reply regarding Fed upset you.You really had to reply to the same post twice? 40 minutes apart?
Talk about rent free...
Hey, what's wrong with Sonni? He seems like the absolute nicest guy in interviews, and he is just out there doing his thing, making the most of what he has and maximizing his time at this level. Watching him in Rome is 'must see' tennis.It's bad enough that we have to see Thiem in this state, and on top of that this Sonego guy is ugh..
Well, not surprisingly (they are Djokovic cronies, after all), they did it in just about the dumbest way possible. Trying to conceal it from view, and then looking around with the most guilty faces imaginable. If they just mixed it up like it was a sports drink, nobody would even pay attention.
On this I agree 100%. This parking lot tournament feels awful. And when you think that they did this to appeal to some lame Miami types that don't know the first thing about tennis, it just makes it that much worse.What have they done out of Miami open,shame.
This place is so stale and uninteresting.
Crandon park was much more authentic.
I don't know he may be nice guy off court, but during his matches i always root for the oponent.Hey, what's wrong with Sonni?

The guy is retired and we are talking about the current old guys still on tour. Let him go.It amazes me that TTW posters have already forgotten that Fed was #2 in the rankings when he was 37 y.o. and was considered a genius by his fans.
Nothing won't change his ranking at age 37.The guy is retired and we are talking about the current old guys still on tour. Let him go.
