Have a feeling Alcaraz might surpass one, or all of the big 3. He is only 22 with 6 majors already. If he keeps up his fitness and no major injuries, he is clearly on course to surpass 24 majors.


Can also see Sinner getting close to 20 titles

From what i heard this Vucic guy is also a globhomo agent, prolly one of the WEF "young leaders", no?
Don't think so. Vucic originates from the conservative Slobodan Milosevic era, his rule is similar to Viktor Orban.

Djokovic sides with the protesting students in Serbia. In other words the "foreign agents".

Whatever his origins, as i understand he tows the line of golbohomo. Like supporting gay prides, muh Ukraine, Yidsrahell and so on. But that was just random posts i read, haven't researched for myself.

Thoughts on the US final @Temptation?

Pretty brutal beatdown from Alcanaldo. Maybe Sinner was slightly injured as he looked off it since the second set in the semis, but I don't think he can touch Alcaraz's best level even if he is at 100%.

Alcaraz has a lower floor but a higher ceiling than Sinner. Sinner's worst is better and is more consistent. They have a very interesting dynamic. Sinner's floor is higher than most people's ceiling and he's just so incredibly consistent. Alcaraz on the other hand can have some off days but at his best he's simply unbeatable.

Since I know way more about Tennis than anybody else here, I'll say Sinner plays his opponents while Alcaraz plays himself.

Sinner hits a level most players simply can’t live with except for Alcaraz and Djokovic before this. Alcaraz, on the other hand, creates problems no one can solve but occasionally, not even he can control them.

Just the Laver Cup, but Agassi showing why he’s a tennis genius in leading Team World to victory over Team Europe

Agassi and Sampras have gotten underrated in last 20 years.

No better ball striker than Agassi and no better serve and volley than Sampras (although Johnny Mac has the best volley ever).

A far cry from the current American tennis landscape. Insane to think even Roddick was far more talented than all the current Americans. Personally think Roddick is very underrated and could've had more majors if he didn't get run over by the Fed train.

That is an interesting take about Roddick. I always felt that he was way overrated because the American tennis community desperately wanted a successor to Sampras et al. Hence the wild expectations placed upon him at a time when the tennis world was witnessing the birth of a golden generation.

Roddick was on par with Todd Martin perhaps. No where near the big guns.

He wasn't a special player but Todd Martin isn't pushing Federer to the extent Roddick did at the 2009 Wimbledon final (one of the best matches ever played).

Roddick was a bit of a servebot and slightly overrated due to his entertaining personality.
