Sure, I'm not doubting those three are amazing players. It's just that, in almost every sport the current great is always considered to be 'the best ever' or at least 'one of the best ever' :p (Federer/Nadal/Djokovic, Schumacher/Vettel/Hamilton, M Fourcade, M Hirscher, C Ronaldo/Messi etc) and it always seems like everyone forgets the possibility that maybe their competition is just, relatively speaking, not really strong leading to them winning so much as they do :d 

 

One can always find videos from the matches in 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and can try make some comparison. It is clear that tennis evolved. And all that "best ever" is just for the media and attention. I simply cannot compare wooden racket tennis era with the modern. Yes, Federer, Djokovic and Nadal are simply one of the greatest. There were players that could beat them once in a while but simply the couldn't do so in a long run. Their overall talent and mentality set them apart from the rest. And yes, there are many, many talented players but in sport, mentality and work ethic is as important as the talent. How one can say they are not? You watch Nadal and look what everything Khachanov threw on him and couldn't win more than one set! Nadal's will to win is something remarkable. Federer's talent and ease of play is really something to watch. Djokovic on the other hand is all around and his peak days you needed all kind of weapons to beat him. Even then, you hae two match points and bam, he strikes two return winners and turns the match on his side :d 

 

Serena is great, no doubt, but I have to be honest and admit that the WTA level in 2010s have been very low. Few exceptions are years 2012 and to some extent 2013.

No one noticed that Kathinka von Deichmann became first ever tennis player from  to play in GS singles main draw.  She won all three matches in qualifications without dropping a set.

Kiki, you idiot, what opportunity for at least QF you missed :wacko: 

Obliterating top-10 players left and right and losing out when the draw is this open. It is truly unbelievable.

I really cannot describe how much that annoys me :d And it always happens to the players I like.

 

At least Bertens still has great chance to qualify for Singapore!

Kvitova I guess is already there, especially now when she's gonna explode in Wuhan :cool: Who cares for Wimbledon and US Open!

      Alpine Skiing FIS World Cup 2025 - 2026

      By copravolley · Posted

      I`m a traditionalist and I like alpine skiing competitions in the morning hours, illuminated by the sun In ski jumping this is practically non-existentthis in contrast the early 21st century (It's nice that at least there's Planica at the end of every season). There are also traditional competitions under artificial lights, like in Schladming or Madonna di Campiglio. There's no need to do the same thing everywhere as in ski jumping. Alpine skiing finals are rarely super exciting, because usually everything is clear and the skiers are tired from the long season. Finals were often canceled, so this year it was okay for me. If someone wanted a spectacle, that's what the Olympics Games or the World Cup in Kitzbuchel.

      Baffling scheduling again. It's like FIS want to drive people away.    It's the Finals, on paper your big conclusion to the season, yet it feels like "let's get this over with". Just compare how the ATP treat their finals with this.   Ok, you want to have the GS & SL on Tuesday/Wednesday. That's fine, i've been advocating for more mid-week starts to begin with. But why, oh why do you have them in the middle of the day, on a work week.  Why aren't you having them in the evening, in prime time, when people are off work. Make it a big special event, which people want to visit and not during the day in front of a 100 fans. It's not that hard to choose a place with some floodlights.     And even this week we don't have Champion League football, so the night is free from big competition. Perfect opportunity to have alpine skiing on TV right now, but noooo.
