Tennis League All Thread

I watch different sports and managed to make sure that in most cases not young and promising win, but old and professional with great experience.  This applies not only to martial arts, but also to tennis.

Age is a big factor in martial arts as you can only take certain shots for a long time and still be on the top of the game, i will give you specific examples, Jose Aldo started when he was 18 years old and he was at the top of his spot for 11 long years and before 30 he could not perform any better against the top fighters, take a look at Daniel Cormier he started MMA when he was 30 years old and now he is 40 years old and he still fighting at the top of his game, so there is a big difference.

Really disappointed with Benoît Paire on his performance against Chardy as he was coming into this match in top form playing in clay and yet he came up short after winning the first set, could have went for winning one set rather than going for Benoit Paire to win the match .

What do you guys think about Federer, he already have 20 GS. Do you think he will manage to get one more or few?

He is still one of the best in the game but I don't think he will win another match against Djokovic. Djokovic is firmly inside his head as recent head to head suggests. Therefore, I am seeing Federer as probable semi-finalist in grand slams but not a winner. He is not getting any younger. Hopefully I am wrong and we will see him lift another grand slam.

Yes Federer is one of the all time greats, no doubt about that. I think he can still win but not at the expense of Djokovic as he is just on fire lately specially in grass court.

But as fans we wanted to see Federer win some before he finally retires and then Djokovic taken over from him in terms of the number of Grand slam wins.

Federer will not be winning any more grand slams due to his age, and the stiff competition he gets in the form of Djokovic and others. I felt he should have retired when he was winning, and that could have kept his legacy intact. Djokovic may break Federer record but it’s a long way for him to get fans respect, I’m referring to the incident where he was booed by fans in the final set.

News Source: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/9508590/federer-loving-wimbledon-booing-djokovic/

Not sure why Djokovic was booed like he was in the final but sometimes this can make players even more determined to win as I remember when Victoria Azarenka was receiving the same treatment in the Australian final, I believe it was the 2013 final and she got up and won. She was even brought to tears after the match so I think the crowd does sometimes need to show some respect even if they don't support the other player.

Djokovic had a very difficult life, he still remembers the 1999 bombing of Serbia and he has already had many difficult moments in his career.
If they are all against him then he is even more determined to win and then he is actually stronger and nobody can beat him.
He is a great champion and I hope he will once receive a deserved respect.

Djokovic having a heart of a champion against all odds he became what he is now, or maybe he is will polished by some circumstances that makes him tougher and agile.

If we compare them then for some statistic that can be found on net Djokovic won more grand slams when competing with Federer and Nadal. Federer won most of them before Nadal and Djokovic were top players. How I may say that Australian open is Djokovic to take, Roland Garros for Nadal, Wimbledon was Federers and US open can take all 3 of them.

That's really a cool way of prediction. This used to happen most of the time, and in specific I've come across Federer winning the Wimbledon twice. Both the time it was a fight back match, in one match it was Nadal who was in the lead 2-1 and finally Federer took it 3-2 which is completely unpredictable and that confirmed Wimbledon is for Federer.

I never like this time of the year in tennis after Wimbledon as most of the top players take time off to rest ready for the US Open which starts at the end of next month. Federer has confirmed that he will play in the Cincinnati Masters and then the US Open, the Cincinnati Masters seems to be a good lead up tournament for most of the top players. We don't have to wait long for this tournament as it starts on August 10th.

Montreal Masters starts a week before so we only have to wait till 5th. August to see most of the best players in action again. And even before that there is a nice ATP 500 event in Washington which starts next Monday. I am thinking most of the top 50 will start their road to US open on this tournament.

Federer doesn't want to lose that momentum, he I'm not surprised by him confirming his participation of the Cincinatti Master, another good tournament to measure and keep his skills on top form. Defending champion is Djokovic and the runner up, who else? it's Federer.

I haven't seen the draw yet, I'm interested on what will be the potential path for this two players. And as tennis fans we can't wait for another epic clash between this two top players.

[Daniel91]

We should enjoy these matches and moments because it will not last long.
It's obvious that that Federer is nearing the end of a magnificent career and we have maybe just a few years left to enjoy in the magnificent matches of this ''great three''.
I believe this will never happen again to watch three of the greatest players at the same time.
Unfortunately, it seems to me that Federer no longer has the strength to beat Djokovic.

The smaller tournaments are nice to win but people mostly only care about the grand slam titles.  That is the first thing that is referenced when comparing players.  Same thing applies to golfers.  There was a time that I thought Roger had a lock on the career titles record but now I think Novak will eventually surpass him.

I see Federer is listed to play at this tournament on their website however he announced that he will skip it. I see Nadal and Djokovic are also on the list of players but has it been confirmed that they will play? I'm interested to see how Stefanos Tsitsipas goes in this tournament as he is someone who can offer some value at good odds in the US Open and he is back on hard courts which suites him better I think.

I also can't find anyone from the top seed confirming as well. Oh you know I'm a big fan of Tsitsipas so I'm going to continue to throw some money on him specially if the odds are really good.

So it seems that Roger will really go on Cincinnati Masters, good move for him, need to rest that aging body then used this tournament leading to US Open, so it makes sense. Cincinnati Masters starts on August 10 and then US Open in Aug. 28 to Sept. 8.

Yes my friend, I know you are a huge fan of Tsitsipas, that is why I mentioned him. I'm also liking him more on hard courts which the US Open is played on so I think the $26 odds are very good. I'm thinking about putting $20 on him to win, Del Potro also plays well at the US Open and he has odds of $13 currently which isn't bad either, if they were at around $15 I would bet on him as well.

In my opinion he definitely has the strength and he could possibly beat him but that's not his purpose anymore as he knows his career will end soon. The last match Federer and Djokovic played together was won by the player that was stronger mentally which was obviously Djokovic because he managed to save 2 match points and then win the tiebreak. Fed had 2 match points so you can say he didn't have the strength. It's just that he is not so focused anymore

I'll probably go with Tsitsipas and put around $50 so let's see. I haven't betting on the women's side though, and I didn't check the odds. There might be some tempting odds out there as women's side as very unpredictable.

I'll probably wait what @Royse777 prediction on the women's, he has some good choices in the past so let's see.

At such high levels of tennis, when the best players play, usually small things decide.
Djokovic has tremendous mental strength and great psychological stability and for this reason he always gets the most important points in the match.
In short and easy matches Federer probably still has a chance against Djokovic but in difficult and long matches Djokovic is always in favor.

Good luck my friend, I think it is a good bet for some value and as we know Tsitsipas is a great player on hard courts and can match it with the top players. On the Women's side I was thinking maybe Osaka at $8 odds if she is fit and healthy as she is another great hard court player, I just don't think she was suited with the clay and grass and now that she will be back on hard court I think she is a great chance at winning.

Tsitsipas is one of the biggest potential in the tour, hopefully he will change his attitude to seriously focus on his career get grand championship,  so far I haven't seen any player's in the women's side except Osaka whom able to  champion grandslam two consecutive time in hard. court.

I think Tsitsipas has the right attitude and is focused on winning a Grand Slam as he has shown he can beat the best like he did in the Australian Open beating Federer. I just don't know what it is with the young talent as even Thiem has the same problem when they get far in the Grand Slams they seem to lose it at the vital stage. Its like they get overwhelmed with it all and its something they need to work on mentally.

I  think these guys need  a coach that  can help to inspired them in winning in vital event special in crucial moment in their game, these coach can advise how to control emotions, so that they will not be overwhelmed by excitement and to much emotional

Tsitsipas is above the current roster of young and upcoming tennis player. The problem is that the top 3 is still playing high level tennis that's why they kept on winning championship one after another. No problem with him focusing on the game itself, its that competition is very though, so if you get past he mid-tier players then you need to face the elite, Djokovic, Nadal and Federer to be able to win a grand slam.

That is true mate as we saw at the Australian Open Tsitsipas was able to beat Federer in the fourth round but was simply outclassed in the semi-final against Nadal. So even if the young talent can get through one of the top 3, they might still have to face another one in the finals or even the Grand Slam final where they always seem to fall. I think it will just take one of the young talent to beat one of the top 3 in a Grand Slam final and then I think it will start to change and we'll see the young talent start winning more against these top 3 guys.

Has anyone watched this amazing match between Lorenzo Sonego and Federico Delbonis in Kitzbühel?
Great Italian saved eight match-balls and went into the next round of the tournament, with the final result 7:6 (4), 6:7 (4), 7:6 (4).
Delbonis led 4:0 and 5:3 in the first set, but did not reach the set-ball.
The Argentine player had four match balls in the deciding set at 5:4, but Sonego saved them.
Two games later, again at the service of the Italians, Delbonis had four more chances to end the duel as the winner, but Sonego pulled it off as well
We've been really looking some great tennis matches lately.
Can't wait that US open starts.
