What is next? Is Thiem now bigger obstacle for Novak compared to Nadal for that no1 place?
All of Novak's stats are inflated, I'm much more impressed how he dominated Fedal, this is where his greatness lies, not some
fake stats.
A bit ironic coming from someone who's nickname is weakera. By default your nickname states that stats are subjective, but making fun of when other people do the same as you do? You are very funny.Fake stats lol

But let me guess, you are one of those people who think your opinions are facts and that only your opinions count.
Why do you say so, isn't this normal TW banter?Rough weekend?![]()
What is next? Is Thiem now bigger obstacle for Novak compared to Nadal for that no1 place?
Yeah, same way that Djokovic is protecting RAfa's record by beating FEd so much. Without Djokovic Fed would now be tons of majors ahead of Nadal and tons more weeks nr.1.Will Tim or Ralph protect Fedr's record?
Someone has to or else Fed fans might lose it soon.Will Tim or Ralph protect Fedr's record?
He's been the best player in the world for 286 weeks according to his results and points. What's fake about the stat lol?All of Novak's stats are inflated, I'm much more impressed how he dominated Fedal, this is where his greatness lies, not some

What do you mean soon, people were saying that since 2009 and 11 years later, Fed still has the record. So, if we lose it, it won't be soon. By the time we lose it those guys will be too old, so it won't matter and Fed haters won't even be able to enjoy it.Someone has to or else Fed fans might lose it soon.
What is next? Is Thiem now bigger obstacle for Novak compared to Nadal for that no1 place?
Probably not yet.
Thiem has something like 2300 points less in YE#1 race than Nole(1700 in rankings + 800 Thiem WTF - 200 Nole WTF).
Thiem will not play Rome, and he isn't in Hamburg entry list(Maybe, he can ask a WC).
He can gain 800 points at RG, but he had to win it.
After Roland Garros:
12 October - He can win St. Petersburg gaining 410 points(He has to discard something). It's reasonable to play there only if he can't go deep in RG.
19 October - Higly unlikely he will play a 250, he has to play Vienna and Paris in consecutive weeks after that.
25 October - He can't improve in Vienna.
02 November - He can gain up to 910 points in Paris.
09 November - He won't play the week before WTF.
16 November - He can gain up to 1500 points in WTF.
WIthout winning RG his best case would be like: Hamburg(410) + St. Petersburg(410) + Paris(910) + WTF(1500) = 3.230 points.
And I'm pretty sure he has to discard some important points in this case, at least 250 points from Kitz 2019 win. But I'm not sure I understood how it works this year(If someone want to help).
3200(Gain) - 250(Kitz) - 2300(Gap today from Nole) = 650 = Thiem's YE lead if Nole doesn't score any point until the end of the season.
Winning Rome and 1 RR win in WTF would be enough.
RG Final and 1 RR win in WTF wuld be enough.
Win RG is obviously enough.
Winning WTF or even make the final would be enough.
Winning 3 matches in WTF RR, even losing in the SF, would force Thiem to be absolutely perfect in the final part of the season(Outside of RG).
Conclusion: we can discuss about Thiem as a treath for #1 this year only if he plays, and wins, Hamburg and RG.
What about Nadal?
1010 point difference now in ATP ranking, and Nadal has 400 points in WTF against Nole 200. 1210 points difference in "YE#1 Race".
Nadal can't gain anything in Rome and RG. And it's safe to assume that he isn't going to play Hamburg.
He can gain points everywhere after that. But I think that he's going to play only Paris and WTF, not 500s or 250s.
Paris - He can gain 640 points.
WTF - He can gain 1500 points.
Up to 2140 points lead. About 900 points lead if Nole won't score any point.
He could have a bigger lead than Thiem. But he never won Paris and WTF. I'm confident that he isn't going to go 10-0 in the indoor season.
Losing WTF Final would cost him 500 points. Losing Paris Final 400 points, losing there in SF o before 640 points.
If he would play(And win) a 500, this is more complicated. But I really don't think he will.
Despite USO, Nole is in great shape to tie Sampras' 6 YE#1 record.
Reaching the final in WTF, even losing a RR match(800 points), it's very likely enough.
Win 3RR matches in WTF, and losing in SF(600 points), is likely enough.
Maybe don't score any point can be enough if Rafa and Thiem have a not brillant end of the season.
It's harder, now, say something about weeks#1 record. He has to defend 665 points in ATP Cup and 2000 at AO.
Thiem has almost nothing in ATP Cup but 1200 at AO and, then, 1000 at IW.
Nadal has 250 in ATP Cup, 360 at AO and 360 at IW.
I think Nadal is the bigger treath, at least until 2021 Wimbledon(Thiem won't defend nothing) or a RG win(2020 or 2021) by Thiem.
I never knew that PETE was Novak Djokovic's idol.

He's closing in on the finish line. Project 311 looking good!

He's only said it like 20 times, and even said it while accepting his 14th Slam but ok. Lol
Rough weekend?![]()
I'm kind of disgusted tbh. PETE was my first tennis idol, such a shame that the vile Novak Djokovic feels a kinship with him.
Well Sampras says he's most like Djokovic out of the big 3 so your disgust seems misplaced.
LOL when did he say that?
Sampras is definitely most like Federer of the 3.

Well he cant get YE#1 this year.Cross Pete and target Roger. This one is in the bag.
YE#1 and slam count are next.
Was there an official announcement that there won't be YE#1 awarded?Well he cant get YE#1 this year.
I dont know, but it would have to be a different type of award. Who is leading this years race? What is the point count, because you can not count last years points which the current ranking do.Was there an official announcement that there won't be YE#1 awarded?
Race ranking has Djokovic as #1 and it only counts this year's points. So you're wrong.I dont know, but it would have to be a different type of award. Who is leading this years race? What is the point count, because you can not count last years points which the current ranking do.
Isnt Thiem in first?
Where do you see that? I see Race ranking as counting last years points too. You cant win YE#1 using last years points.Race ranking has Djokovic as #1 and it only counts this year's points. So you're wrong.
Recently.
Ok tell the man who himself is the most alike since he doesn't know. Lol
Otha, the man himself says he is most like Djokovic. Stop trying to twist facts machan![]()
Strange. It shows doubles race ranking but not singles race ranking on ATP website, but Djokovic is the point leader this year.Where do you see that? I see Race ranking as counting last years points too. You cant win YE#1 using last years points.
I know Djoker did not earn 10,080 points this year...
Was there an official announcement that there won't be YE#1 awarded?
If he leads on points earned this year alone, he should be awarded YE#1. That's my take.It shouldn't be awarded this year, and I would say that even if someone other than Novak Djokovic were top of the rankings.
He might be, I honestly do not know. But if they play to have a YE#1 then they can only use this years points. Right now it will be Thiem or Djoker. They must be very close.Strange. It shows doubles race ranking but not singles race ranking on ATP website, but Djokovic is the point leader this year.

He is. There's no doubt about it.He might be, I honestly do not know. But if they play to have a YE#1 then they can only use this years points. Right now it will be Thiem or Djoker. They must be very close.
Are you sure. Djoker got no points for USO while Thiem got 2,000. Thiem also made the final of the AO which gave him 1200.He is. There's no doubt about it.
I never knew that PETE was Novak Djokovic's idol.
Djokovic: 3000 + Dubai 500 + ATP Cup 665 = 4165Are you sure. Djoker got no points for USO while Thiem got 2,000. Thiem also made the final of the AO which gave him 1200.
Djoker: AO 2,000, Cinci 1,000
Thiem: AO 1200, USO 2,000
Outside of those I dont know what other points they have.
