    watched a few games of both tour final semis. damn tennis came a long way, this is incredible level. i loved guys like sampras, rios, santoro, rafter (etc) but this is like an other sport. incredible speed and precision.

    i'd love to see similar footage of other big players, especially lendl who never had the best technique, and federer from the other end of the spectrum

    that must be a cool experience. is the crowd so loud even during points as it sounds like through tv?

    alcaraz's mental strength for his age is incredible. djokovic had a ball to go 2-0 up, had all the chances to turn it around, yet the dude won it. in his 1st wimbledon final, which was like his 4th grass court tournament too. chapeau on a sidenote, one thing i don't like in this current tennis...

    would you bet on alcaraz against djokovic in the final? i watched the guy today, was brilliant for 2.5 sets against medvedev, shat his pants a bit before finishing it off eventually. he's very quick and powerful, i can see him causing an upset if he goes for the shots. mentality is a huge issue...

    he faced two goat level players and by far the best young talent of the last decade. not winning as a complete underdog is all right he'll get there eventually lendl and Murray lost their first 4 finals

    what are some players on? i remember agassi struggling to walk without cortisone before his retirement, and he was 36 back then. he literally looked like an old dude, just without the wrinkles. and we thought that he had a good longevity, because sampras at 36 was already retired for 5 years lol...

    my favorite player not named sampras i will never forget his semi when he hit the match point at wimbledon and walked towards the net. i was literally crying, the most deserved title ever in tennis.

    my goat is sampras, so i couldn't care less about this current goat debate, i'll leave it to those who enjoy baseline tennis :p still, djokovic raised his game for 2011 and is rightfully belongs to the same tier as federer or nadal. djokovic had to overcome nadal's 16-7 lead (that was the...

    safin used to be my favorite player back in his days. medvedev is a likeable dude too, but marat had a special character and a very special game too. very few come close. too bad for his lazy attitude. his ausopen semi win over federer is still one of my favorite matches. safin was match point...

    not watching and have no idea what's going on. this pressure is way too high and medvedev has a terrific h2h vs djokovic, but i guess muricans wanna see history so they'll try to push djokovic forward. i still can't see anyone winning a calendar slam

    yeah, the quality is there. i don't watch women's tennis at all, just checked the top10 and barely recognised 2-3 names, but checked the final's best moments and was pleasantly surprised how well those two teens hit the ball. the canadian chick played great too. she had much longer matches and...

    this might be one special us open. a qualifier just won the women's final. never thought it was possible. and she also never dropped a set during those 3 weeks, which makes it even more impressive, even though she never faced a top10 opponent. this is some history. a qualifier winning a major...
