And before Pliskova, Konta, Cibulkova and even Jankovic who was number 1 in ranking without winning GS! Why you didn't mention about them? :mumble:

 

Because they're not pushers :dunno: Not that Stephens is, but she played like one yesternight

And Jelena isnt pusher? Even if isnt she should have won at least one GS as she was #1. Slamless former number 1 looks awful...

Looks like nobody cares about Nadal's 16th GS title? :d

Well, I think at least one person doesn't.

I would have if it was a final worth watching, but this was definitely the most boring men's singles Grand Slam final since Wimbledon 2017 :p

Whole men's tournament looked like ATP 500 at best. A very few quality matches. Nadal didn't even play a top 20 ranked player to win the title... 

Women's was much better until the SFs and the Final which were as bad as the men's tournament.

 

Probably the most competitive GS this year was AO for men and RG for women.

I think Nadal totally deserved to win the title , Murray or Djokovic weren't that good before they got injured this season , and they've already got benefit from Nadal absence in past tournaments , he's not responsible for other players not able to win unseeded ones , Dimitrov , Cilic,  kyrgios , zverev , goffin,  tsonga and others , Nadal could have easily lost to unseeded player like these guys did , even the player who defeated Federer in Quarters , Nadal swept Delpotro , it's one of rarest times I see Delpotro not able to get back in such big games , same happened with Anderson , so Nadal is the one who made it.look easy here and he totally deserve this historical comeback

No one denies that he deservedly won and made it look easy. He simply beat all of his opponents and it is not his fault everyone else lost early.

But it is also undeniable that the level of the game was quite poor comparing to what we used to watch... 

 

The highlights for me are Rublev's and Shapovalov's runs. Zverev completely disappointed. It is also a pity Kokkinakis couldn't win after 2-0 lead.

Oh, another thought - Rublev might have great run, but his game is still very very raw, and looks like he didn't improve much compared to 2015. Last year he was even worse.

But Shapovalov on the other hand :hearts:

    • Meanwhile, a bit of a request for help: I have been trying, but if anyone can find the qualification rules for the world championships in Trondheim, specifically the requirements to be allowed to start in all races, that'd be great, I can't find it anywhere yet..   Edit: of course I found it right after asking for help     Only remaining question is: does 'current' mean what at that moment is the current list (the 6th FIS points list) or the one that is used for the eligibility for the WSC 2025 as listed on the 'Dates of the lists' document (5th FIS points list)?    
    • Happy New Year to you as well!   So, we got back from Oberwiesenthal Sunday night, after an adventurous drive in the snow and a long road back home. It went well there: the classic sprint on Saturday resulted in 314 points, which improved her own position towards the team sprint in the world championships (being in the team sprint is potentially very important towards the Olympics). She beat her main rival by a whopping 11 seconds, so that was awesome.   20k mass start classic on Sunday wasn't that good: in the first of six laps, some athletes around her fell, one of them hit her left foot (the one that got injured in the accident 3 years ago) and that resulted in quite some pain. I was waiting with my drinks in the coaching area, but after the field passed there in lap two, she didn't appear, so I knew something was up. Walked back and saw her walking towards me, then she explained what had happened. The pain after being hit in the foot was too much to keep going for 16km, especially in a race that wouldn't count for the Olympic ranking anyway and was only meant for 'racing rhythm', continueing could do more damage than good.   That's a shame, but no problem, the sprint went well and that was WAY more important. Also: the day before the race we went to the Polish wax cabin to ask for help, because she does always need someone to wax her skis and 'Team' Brazil isn't really an option. The Polish very gladly helped (and were paid with a nice 12-pack of beer we brought for that occassion) and the skis were really good, so that was fantastic. Even better: after the mass start, and explaining why being hit in the foot was such a problem and so on, the wax guy - without us even asking - offered to also help at the world championships, and invited her for a training camp with the team in the summer     December had gone very well as well, right now (with still this entire season and half of next season to go) she is leading the Brazilian Olympic ranking by a nice margin. Of course many races to come for everyone, but so far, so good!   Next option is 17-19 January, FESA Cup in Falcade. Financially it's a bit tough, since that is yet another 2300km with the rental car (with which we already did 1600 now, and we only have 2000 on the contract, so every km outside of it costs 20 cents), plus another accomodation needed. We're looking into the options, because Falcade has a classic sprint AND a 10k freestyle, which is the absolute perfect combination considering those are the things that count for the Olympic ranking. We're trying to scrape enough together, so...we'll keep you updated
