One of the greatest grass court players ever, having won 2 Wimbledon titles and a gold medal at Wimbledon on grass. If tennis was a fair sport he would have also won an Aussie Open he was damn good down under, he beat Nadal in AO when Nadal was going for 4 in a row.

Few others too battling a hypothetical #1 Andy Murray, maybe Milos gets a Wimbledon, Berdych, Roddick, Tsonga, Del Potro etc...

Roddick very likely has two Wimbledons and an additional US Open title if Federer was playing a different sport.

That doubles team of Alcaraz / Nadal could be a dangerous unseeded tandem.

How do they determine seeds for doubles because Sinner/Mussetti #1 is weird considering neither player is very active in doubles.

Also Thiem lost today in his final tournament, the prince of clay I'll miss him a lot on tour

[GirlySports]

singles and doubles rankings combined

remember, Nadal has pretty much no ranking

ESPN has now come out with a list of the top 10 male tennis players since 2000, and I have questions lol

1. Federer
2. Djokovic
3. Nadal
4. Murray
5. Agassi
6. Alcaraz
7. Sampras
8. Roddick
9. Wawrinka
10. Hewitt

I won't touch on the top 3 because it's been debated to death but I feel like Roddick is too high, and Wawrinka should be higher. Also id but Agassi at #4 but that's just me

[dash_pinched]

Yeah, Wawrinka should be higher as should Hewitt, I would order it as

7. Wawrinka
8. Hewitt
9. Roddick
10. Sampras (Pete did most of his damage in the 90's).

The more I think about it, the more I think Charlie should already be #4, is that crazy? As you said DP, Agassi and Pete did most of their damage in the 90s.

Hearing today that Novak will not be playing doubles at the Olympics, he's putting all his focus on the singles gold.

Man, you couldn't find a more unlikable tandem than Zverev / Siegemund and it's not all on Zverev either, very few players like Siegemund on the WTA tour. Anyways, go Felix and Gaby!!

Sinner pulls out of the Olympics due to illness so I guess Djokovic will be the #1 seed now.

Bad break but man it feels like it's always something with Sinner.

Gabriel Diallo is taking on Joao Fonseca later today at the Chicago Challenger event (hard court event so I think Gabriel has a good chance today).

This is pretty cool and congrats to Coco!!
