David Goffin's legs are like bean poles too. Dimitrov's used to be but hes beefed them up a bit. Berdych has pretty damn strong quads for a tennis player as does Steve Johnson below but the prize for biggest legs on the ATP tour imo goes to Janko Tipsarevic hands down. There's much talk on forums that he's juiced in the past and seeing as his legs look like those of a pro bodybuilder I'd be inclined to agree.

Murat how is your mayor doing? Is he still in office? Is he invited for awarding the
trophy to the winner?

He is running again for the next election. He is around. He was even in the Sharknado 2 movie ! (Played by someone else and a shark came out of his chest!) . He was also dancing away yesterday at Toronto's biggest Caribbean festival with some beautiful women.

He is going nowhere, until the elections...maybe even after that.:s

Kei withdrew with a foot injury. If not for bad luck, this guy would have no luck...

Physical frailty, not luck.... doubtful he will ever stay healthy for a whole season, sad to say. :nono

^ Yeah, very frail little fella alright. A real shame as there's a lot of potential there. Monfils is similar although it's more unexpected given his muscularity that he's like glass but Nishikori takes the cake.

I see Llodra who supposedly retired from singles earlier this year is in fact not retired as he just lost to Kamke in the qualifiers here. Always thought it was strange he didn't at least wait till his best tournament, the Paris masters to retire. Maybe that's the plan after all.

Llodra said he will retire NEXT year, not this year.

Seems that way alright but lots of links cited him as retired since Roland Garros in singles this year. Hopefully he'll S&V his way past a few decent players at the Paris masters again.

That picture that you say is Tipsarevic can't be right, can it? There's no face, and, while I'm not expert on the body...which you're more conversant with…but, as a runner, I understand that legs so unbalance would be destined for injury, given the amount of running in tennis. Here's another picture of Tipsy:

The legs look much more balanced in terms of the muscles, even at full work. Please do be cautious when suggesting that people juice.

No, it's definitely him. See the scar on the left knee below and there's cautious and blatantly obvious. You don't have bodybuilder's legs without help.

He actually posted the photo himself on his Twitter page. It's not visible there now but was reblogged. Read his message here.

nishikori has toe infection ?..sounds like could be paranychia, and if so the swelling/blood/puss/pain is very much a non fun event. I had it on both bigtoes at once, if its paranychia then he won't be going anywhere much until its cleared up, and defo no playing tennis.

I too thought it was some body builder's photo. That is a weird shape for legs.

By the way, when I mentioned Tomic's legs as weak, I did not mean physical appearance . They are not twigs or anything, it is just that he is dragging them, like they are carrying cement blocks. You know how most players get a decent elevation when they hit a powerful forehand, well, Bernie seems to be glued to the ground. Even when he is serving, he barely gets of the floor.
He is easier to wrong foot than Isner.

Check this out. Pat Mendes squatting 363KG/800lbs at age 20. No body suit like Ronnie Coleman uses either, just knee supports which of course you'd have to use lifting this crazy weight. Full deep squat too.

That is not the same scar, at all. One lifts from right to left like this accept mark (´), and the other is straight across. There is no photographic angle that would make the relationship different to the patella. Those are not the same legs. Someone is being devious by posting that photo with Tipsaravic's name.
