Federer and Del Potro

Good analysis. What a refreshing change around here. Welcome.
Sad I've developed into a caricature since then. This place has robbed me of my analytical skills. I was born intelligent, but TTW ruined me.

Juan Monaco on collision course with Diamond AgePlayers in OP still better than the Diamond Age, that's the saddest part.
You quoted yourself above in this thread, so its quite confusing.Can't remember that meme.

Once you were serious and nerdy nice like Thiem. This forum changed you. Wow.Can't remember that meme.

I didn’t even know you had that Thiem type in you.I can still be serious and nerdy, but TTW is not the place for serious discourse. This is a place for GOAT debates, geometric means, statistics taken completely out of context, etc.
You either die a serious nerd or live long enough to become a TTW regular.
I didn’t even know you had that Thiem type in you.
but yeah, I’ve given up long time ago discussing real tennis in here. Only w Meles I did some after I gave it up, but given up that too.
Also the tour doesn’t help since the same been going on for 15 years now.
There's still some real tennis talk here, you just won't find it in the General Pro Player Discussion section.I didn’t even know you had that Thiem type in you.

You cannot teach an old Fedpo new tricks, Louis.

Good luck(I assume you haven't succeeded yetI'm off to go search for those TTW intelligent tennis fans, wish me luck.
Hi MattHey guys, just wanted to take a second to introduce myself before making this thread being as that this is my first post and I am excited to be here.
My name is Matt, and by my username you can see my two favorite players on tour.
Just wanted to say hi and that I thought this looked like a great forum as an observer. Lots of intelligent tennis fans here, I expect to learn a lot about my favorite sport!
I was wondering who you guys would list as your dark-horses or x-factors for the upcoming US Open.
I've been paying attention to a lot of players, and while I don't expect one of these guys to actually go all the way and win a major, it's neat to think about if any one of these guys can spring a huge upset. Of course, an upset is a lot harder to attain in the best of five set format.
But here are some guys I have an eye on, feel free to agree, disagree, or add your own.
Tommy Haas: Since beating Roger Federer prior to Wimbledon, Tommy has been playing some high-octane tennis. Took Djokovic to 3 sets in Toronto, fell to Monaco in another final (pretty closely contested). Dropped a tough one to Juan Martin Del Potrotwisted
yesterday.
Juan Martin Del Potro: Was gutted when he lost at the Olympics, albeit to my other favorite player, but have liked overall his form and how it has progressed since the devastating wrist injury suffered at the 2009 AO against Gilles Simon. Has a tough match today against Viktor Troicki, will be interesting to see if he can contend for the title at Flushing Meadows again. I would think he would like to avoid Roger, who has owned him since the 2009 loss to him at the USO Final.
Juan Monaco: Now you guys will have to help me out with this one. I've been watching this guy play and am pretty impressed. I am not sure, though, what his best surface is (someone told me clay, is this true)? Recently just cracked the top ten and won his first big tournament over Tommy Haas (his celebration was priceless by the way, went to his box and embraced everyone excitedly).
Of course you also have guys like:
John Isner: Can his serve be enough? Can he salvage enough of a defense and a return game to stun the worlds top guns? We have seen it before (beating Federer at Davis Cup, beating Djokovic earlier in the year as well). Big John always gives the American fan-base a semblance of local hope.
Ivo Karlovic: Last seen/heard accusing the lines-man at Wimbledon of favoring home town favorite Andy Murray, not much has been heard of Ivo since. Was slated to play in the Olympics but dropped out with an injury, where he would have possibly had a showdown with the Swiss Maestro.
The American Hopefuls: What can Sam Querry, Donald Young, Ryan Harrison, Andy Roddick do? Can any of them make any kind of noise?
Some say @zagor is still searching to this day!I'm off to go search for those TTW intelligent tennis fans, wish me luck.
It must have gotten harder over the yearsSome say @zagor is still searching to this day!
I checked the lists and he wasn't.Sadly I'm not sure he was invited to those convos or maybe I forgot
That's sad. He'd been looking for so long.I checked the lists and he wasn't.
i sorryYou guys are bullies honestly.
Can confirmYou guys are bullies honestly.
Players in OP still better than the Diamond Age, that's the saddest part.
LOL; when I joined in 2017, I thought that "Talk Tennis Guru" meant that someone must be very knowledgeable/respected. Had no idea it was based purely on the post count.OP is a constant reminder I thought this was a place for sensible, loving, honest discourse upon my excited registration. "Oh boy, look at all these people wanting to talk tennis. They must love the game as much as me. I cannot wait to talk about it and gain so much knowledge and wisdom from these people."
Look at my jovial, green text.
The Fedpo you see in OP is dead. This monster was not self-created. But TTW created.
All I want to do is strangle OP now.
