Trophy Comparisons

[cork_screw]

Oh my god, look at this trophy from Basel. It's a 500 series tournament but looks better than some Grand Slam trophies. (click on page two of link)

Also, I would like to start a comparison of what you think are the best looking trophies and the worst. The best runner up trophies and the men's vs women's trophies.

Trophies that I'm not a big fan of are the ones that look like a vase from IKEA.

I love the Venus Rosewater dish that the Wimbledon Ladies' champion gets. Too bad they don't get to take home the big one. Worst trophy had to be that one that Djokovic won that was green with clear golf ball designs on it-it looked like one of the eggs from the Alien movies!

You know why that Basel trophy looks good. (Since Roger was expected to win, they minted up the trophy). Damm Joker!

lol I imagine the trophy with diamond encrusted letters spelling "Roger Federer, Mens Champion" crossed out with a sharpie and written below "Novak Jokervic"

LOL! :lol:


I really like that Basel Trophy. Wish to be a tennis pro just to grab that trophy (and some few others)

I remember the Madrid trophies which look more like kitchen utensils.

I'll take Wimbeldon, the US Open, the Austrillian Open, and Roland Garros

I will take the oscars for pretending to be the GOAT in best actor in a leading role

The Stockholm Open has got a pretty ugly one. I'm saying that as a countryman.

Very unique, to say the least.

If I searched through my grandmothers old house I am very likely to find something very similar to this:

one of the arabic countries hosted a 500 one year and the first place trophy was a tennis ball made of gold, studded with diamonds and rubies.

ill take that trophy if i only get one in my career, think they valued it at 750k Euros at the time. i could be wrong tho

Clearly the best of all time:

Its nickname was "Gold Racquet" tournament because if a player won the tournament three times within a 5 year span, he would receive also a special trophy, a life-size, 13.2-pound gold racquet studded with 1,420 diamonds valued at $1,000,000.

^^Wow that's an amazing one. There is nothing like this one, in my opinion. The "Holy Grail" of tennis and arguably the most "coveted" trophy in the Sporting World.

Problem is that Federer will be there every year so it will be a tough trophy to win.
