I didn't check the stat, and just said stuff like that happens. You'd probably get Lendl as far better than Sampras, while Murray is basically better than any player under 10 Slams or something, maybe apart from Agassi cause he played until 35. Djokovic would already be far ahead of Nadal, and would probably cream Federer by the end of his career as well.The Hitch said:Red Rick said:You could use total career points and I have seen people use something similar, but I don't think it's great. You really get stuff like Murray being higher than Sampras or something, and while I think Murray would win a bunch more Slams in any other era, putting him ahead of Sampras is a bridge too far
Djokovic is a massive favorite to break the weeks at #1.
What are the career point totals. If murray beat Samprass despite -11 Grand slmas then that is really impressive
I never liked M, and was a PP fan but lets be honest, in his prime he takes prime the American. Like how the current top 10 marathon runners beat the 90's wr holders

Murray says he's pain free. Seems really optimistic. Great to see him doing better.
Naturally media are hoping for the grass season but that probably shouldn't happen. Mike Bryan had the same surgery last year and he's playing again, but then playing doubles is a looooot less straining than singles is.Pricey_sky said:Red Rick said:https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/47466258

Great news, hopefully he can start to rebuild and can still play this season.
Thiem reaches tennis adulthood. No young player anymore.Red Rick said:Nadal doesn't even need decent form to keep the #2nd spot in the world. Nobody but Djokovic can beat him on clay.
Nadal was injured, and #nextgen genius Khachanov couldn't take a set off him on HC. It's hilarious how terrible the young generation is.
On clay you can't play with one leg and Nadal needs his physical dominance to play his way.Red Rick said:Nadal doesn't even need decent form to keep the #2nd spot in the world. Nobody but Djokovic can beat him on clay.

Big no to Wawrinka. He's gotten too slow to do anything special on clay. Zverev doesn't have any match with Djokovic/Nadal on his racket imo.Nirvana said:On clay you can't play with one leg and Nadal needs his physical dominance to play his way.Red Rick said:Nadal doesn't even need decent form to keep the #2nd spot in the world.

Anyway I think that at least Thiem, Zverev and Wawrinka can beat everyone on clay.
He always beat my fave player, and he had some of the falsest modesty and fakest humility I have ever seen in an athlete. And naturally everyone loved him.tobydawq said:How can you hate Federer this much?

I'm half serious here, I don't really hate him, but I do dislike the religion that is his fandom.
