Novak is now tied with Guillermo Vilas - both with 62 titles, 9th in the Open era

What? Are there some real signs, or only speculations? I mean, Roberta is doing really well Daniela and Fran can retire though, but the rest... And unfortunately yes, there are no real stars to replace them. I wonder when this situation in WTA will end...

Who does these days... Even Federer becomes all nervous and loses head.

Jesus, Nole Raonic is supposed to be one of the best servers today

Welcome to "Discuz-Free" Totallympics Prediction Contests Era! Unfortunately we weren't able to organize Biathlon World Championships prediction contest cause of well-known reason. Within next 24-hours, we shall start with Women's Ice Hockey World Championship according to our calendar. Format remains the same, rules as well. It is also left to each user to decide whether he or she wants to put own predictions in spoiler. I recommend that because it will be much easier to open and go through pages when we are facing massive tables.

Vichkaaaaa Almost choked, but title is here Welcome back to top 10

Would love to see Rublev-Tiafoe match in Irving, but Foe isn't doing well at the moment... Onto Nadal-Nishikori treat

What a week for Shapovalov! First challenger in career and already semifinal! Evans will be huge hurdle to pass, but this is great result so far.

Haven't been into football lately, but it is unusual to see no Italian club in quarterfinal stage, either Champions League or Europa League...

I still cannot get over that volley So, so close... But nevertheless, amazing match between Nadal and Zverev. Zverev is really good, and I hope he'll learn from this match. Has to be mentally tougher. Game is there. Welcome to top class, Sascha!

don't rush sascha

Wow, what a sensation, a win over top 100 player for Michael Venus. It is not common to see a Kiwi man winning in singles even at challenger level these days

Goffin was really afraid of win, but Wawrinka literally gifted it. That smash on 5-5 in tie break. Nolesque

The Feelies - Morning Comes

The problem is, big tournament usually means big names. You cannot force someone to play masters event one week after Grand Slam, to switch from clay to grass. It would be too much. I mean, I first love grass as surface, the original surface, and would love to see much more grass tournaments but in current conditions it simply is not feasible. EDIT: Yay, my 100th post

I agree, Indian Wells is definitely best organized non-Grand Slam tournament. As for Masters 1000 played on grass... it won't happen. There is no time, 5 weeks on grass is really too few to put in a Grand Slam and a Masters/Premier 5/M tournament together. Only if they expand grass season on 7 weeks we can talk about such event, otherwise, having two ATP 500 and two WTA Premier events is really enough.

Indian Wells and Shanghai want own category, to be above other masters tournaments, something like "Super Masters" as both tournaments have capacity and conditions to organize such big events. Indian Wells also would like to switch to full 128-player draw. It seems it can be achieved in 2019... http://theyellowballcorner.blogspot.rs/2016/03/indian-wells-like-shanghai-wants-its.html

Neither Konjuh is flourishing I guess then Konjuh had less errors....

Errorinka in the house...

If there is a loss, there must be a win. It is like, if there is beginning, there must be an end as well

I agree that forum should be more dynamic, but also as kungshamra wrote, if I don't have to write anything, then why should I? If someone likes to write, then let him/her be creative and write about some interesting stuff when there are less (important) sport events or other side activities on the forum. Opening "2012 medalists failed to qualify for Rio" thread is an excellent example how to gain attention. Besides, I am doing everything in my power to keep tennis subforum alive, 90% of posts are mine lol

At WTA's first "challenger" of the year, CiCi Bellis lost to Friedsam, despite leading 6-4 4-1. Konjuh won, at least. I am not sure what is Gavrilova doing I mean, I am glad to see there is one competitive Greek player, but I am not fond of her game. Sakkari shouldn't be a treat to Gavrilova. Unless she is only tanking

Kozlov had everything in his hands and he lost... But I am so happy to see Shapovalov winning! Tim van Rijthoven in his first challenger quarterfinal (and this is his second challenger tournament overall, if I am not mistaken). I hope matches are still available on livestream... Would like to see Shapovalov Rublev was fooling around a bit, but eventually he beat Harrison in one really messy match. Now watching Big Foe in action EDIT: Shapovalov is the first player born in 1999 with ATP Challenger win! Given that Felix Auger-Aliassime is the first 2000-born with ATP Challenger win, Canada is definitely heading to bright tennis future!

JJ can't hold
