De Minaur, because of his size, has to fight very hard esp against big aggressive players; he could be overwhelmed just like he was at the Next Gen final losing to an aggressive Sinner.

Those four guys – Stan, […]

Rafa plays well for his first match in Abu Dhabi, a master class almost. He’s a bit rusty at the beginning but ends up playing very well, continuing from where he stops at the DC. I’m very happy seeing him pla […]

Good for Tsitsipas that he finally won the match, but he was leading 5-1 in set two and yet had to play a TB to win it.

The problem with Tsitsipas is always the same, ie he tends to spend extra energy […]

When Tsitsipas meets Djoko, he’s drawn into a baseline war, I don’t understand why he and most players keep making the mistake of staying at the baseline against Djoko. He should take more risk, S&V a bit more to […]

I agree with the top five but I think Medvedev will be inside top eight, may rank ahead of Sasha. I think Medvedev, Sasha and Kei will make up the rest of the top eight, with one of Stan, Delpo, Murray and Cilic […]

Rublev? Nope. Shapo? Maybe. De Minaur in TOP ten? Nope.

If Kei is ok after his injury break, I’ll prefer him over the young guns; Kei is good against anyone who’s not the big three. I still think that the old […]

I think his 2019 schedule looked fine, and I think it will be manageable in 2020 playing the same schedule plus the Olympics if he stays injury free. So, he will be playing 16 events including the Olympics and […]

If there’s a breakthrough at the slams, I think it’ll be Tsitsipas at AO. He looks like he’s playing well at the Abu Dhabi exho, beating Rublev quite comfortably, continuing with his good form. He will play again […]

Rafa will plan his schedule to concentrate on winning at the slams, Olympics and DC, so won’t be surprised he may skip Acapulco and some masters, like what he did in 2019; he may stick with playing just six Masters in 2020.

I’ll bet that he’ll be healthy for the four slams next year too. He played only 65 matches in 2019 and finished the year healthy despite some niggles here and there, and despite his knee injury during March. […]

I would say the only slam that Rafa is more vulnerable is Wimbledon; look at his results these past three years, except for AO and USO 2018 when he had to retire because of injuries, he had reached finals at AO […]

The thing is, Djoko seems more vulnerable vs the young guns or player like Stan even though he may be > Fedal at the slams (except FO vs Rafa) – 2019 FO lost to Thiem (and 2017 too), 2019 USO lost to Stan. So, […]

So you think Djoko is good enough to have a chance to win three slams in 2020 whilst Rafa only one? Rafa ended the 2019 season on a high, can’t say that for Fed and Djoko, don’t understand why he’s still only […]

Ricky’s pick was quite outrageous, esp the finalists. Please, Sasha for AO final? Tsitsipas Wimbledon finalist? Also to leave out Djoko at AO and Rafa at USO???

My pick – AO Rafa vs Djoko; FO Rafa vs T […]

Or I would say, Djoko being the nemesis of Rafa at the slams after 2013. They were 3-3 at the slams from 2011-2013; there on, Djoko seemed to have the upper hand, 3-1 Djoko from 2014-2019.

Djoko no such luck vs Stan, other than AO2013 and USO2014 (both went five sets), he had been losing to Stan at the slams, once in five sets (AO2014), the rest of their three encounters (FO2015, USO2016, USO2019) […]

Or USO2011 against Fed? It’ seems that Djoko more lucky vs Fedal than they vs Djoko!

Imo Djoko was very lucky to have won both 2018 and 2019 Wimbledon, as he’s helped by the organisers in 2018 and by Fed in 2019. He was getting out of a slump in 2018, and watching him the whole tournament in 2 […]

Exactly, and I do feel that Djoko could save all those BPs with his serves which didn’t miss and that’s helped by indoor conditions ie no wind.

Rafa was really hard done by the Wimbledon organisers, when the […]

Yeah, the roof should be for the change in weather conditions, not for darkness or playing at night when floodlights would solve the darkness problem.

The FO, I think they have a roof that allows wind to come […]
