Masters tournaments and ATP Finals are exhos and meme tournaments now??As the professional tennis season is finished while a few exhos and meme tournaments fill up the the rest of the year... I just want to congratulate the multi-slam winner of 2022!

Tennis is meant to be an outdoor sport, that's why there are very few indoor tournaments. What's the point of hitting with any kind of spin if the ball bounces the same? Indoor tennis is only for flat hitters.

ATP finals is just a meme tournament to pass the time by when everyone is getting ready for the festive season, just to collect some extra cash for the presents

Player of the year is still Alcaraz as of now. Nadal still has a good chance of passing his younger compatriot but he needs to win the ATP Finals now. Let's see what happens. Huge week ahead of Mr. Nadal.

Now that Rafa has lost his first match it is officially a meme tournament. Love it!

The only other way ATP can better the draw is to force Nadal's opponents to withdraw or give a bye.

Alcaraz also had a great season. The second best player of the year. Djokovic would be my pick for #3, ahead of Ruud.

I say its Djoker. Nadal had 4 cracks at the slams and won 2. Nole only had 2 cracks and won 1 of them. Nole probably wins 3 slams this year if he was allowed to play all 4. Not to mention Nadal crashed and burned since Wimbledon. Nole is rusty but still swinging out there.. Nadal just didn't do enough after the French

Almost half of the season non-existent, gets beaten by 3 different americans in a row on 3 different hard court tournaments and won only 4 titles and somehow - player of the year? LOL Nadal fans are funny...

If he had won Bercy and then Turin back-to-back i would back up that claim, but now as it stands, Alcaraz has an edge...i'm not even sure that'll change even if Novak wins it undefeated now! But we'll see what happens next!...If there ever was such a toss up between three people involved rather than usual two, then it was this year!...Right now there is no clear front runner, it's a three way tie between them! Let's see what happens as Turin wraps up...
...Also sorry for the double post! I was so commited to reply, that i forgot i already made a post here less than minute apart! My bad mods!...

Probably, shoulda, if, woulda, coulda, Nadal had the best year
Not a single masters 1000 win, horrible form since Wimbledon (which is exactly half of the entire season!), atrocious showing indoors...what exactly outside of one slam vulture, where the GOAT of the tournament didn't even get his chance to play, because of some weird politics agenda and yet another "day in the office at RG" is that it makes him player of the year?!...

Andddddddd…… 2 grand slams
So just this alone...nothnig else?! Are you one of those weirdos, who thinks Wawrinka had better career than Hewitt, simply because he has an extra slam?!...

Im a weirdo that thinks winning 2 slams in a year at 36 is a fantastic year, absolutely

Funny how Djokovic fans bring down slams when it doesn't suit them. Just like in 2012-2014.

Lmao do tell who’s year you’d trade 2 slams for in 2022? I’ll wait
no sense getting slaughtered by me indeed StrongRule

He was allowed to play all 4. He just decided not to, and he shouldn't get any credit for that. But I know, Djokovic fans like moral victories.

Player of the year was Federer with his retirement. It doesn’t matter how much you win when the GOAT’s retirement overshadows every other accomplishment this year

2 slams is more than any other man. It's a weak player of the year, but still, 2 slams is 2 slams.

Have you ever heard the saying that you've got to be in it to win it? Djokovic's own actions ensured that he wouldn't be in 2 majors this year, unlike Wimbledon banning players purely for being Russian or Belarussian.

There's nothing meme about it. It's only because Nadal can't win it that makes his fans so bitter on here.
I'm sure if he'd won it in 2010 or 2013, it would be a highly regarded title on his mantelpiece which his fans would proudly cherish and boast further credence to his list of accomplishments. The real meme is Nadal winning the Stefan Edberg award. A title that holds no meaning. But it sure doesn't stop Nadal fans from going nuts about it and claiming how awesome an achievement it is! LOL
No ifs and buts...Djokovic was never going to win USO. Alcaraz and sinners level was too high few months ago.

That's exactly about Djokovic in Wimbledon, and not just this year.
