2022 ATP General News

[Jelenafan]

The 1st time Rafa's started 13-0? What a joke! He's supposed t/b the GOAT lagging so far behind in records that Fedovic own! Very sad!

21 > 20

And I get super tired of people telling me I can't have an opinion about said commies. Truth be told Pam wasn't that bright as a player. She's even worse on the mike. So deal with it.

Did I say you don't get to have an opinion? You said yours, that they're stupid, and I said mine. We should do a thread and a poll, because, honestly, I think most people here dislike the majority of the commentators. I'd be curious to know who anyone actually likes.

I have to agree with Kskate I cannot stand listening to Pam Shriver.I mute her,.
Love Chandra Rubin....

I will be interested to read Rafa's presser after his match with Tommy Paul.

So, there's one, in one person's opinion. Maybe I will start a thread on the General Tennis forum and he how many commentators are actively liked and not just tolerated or muted.

If you wish not a bad idea.

I will be interested to read Rafa's presser after his match with Tommy Paul.

Aside from him getting agitated for reasons that seemed not apparent, it wasn't at terrible match. They'd never played before. Paul is creditable. And, hey, it's just Acapulco.

I would like to know why he got agitated to start with..Rafa needs to find his serve for starters,Meddy will have a picnic on the return of serve

 

[the AntiPusher]

What the hell is wrong with Rafa...again lost his serve which has gone AWOL for some reason.
If Rafa gets through this match ....Meddy will have a field day with him in the s/final.

He only plays 3/4 speed the early rounds. He will take it up another level against the world's#1..Trivia is who has the best winning percentage vs players who currently were ranked number one? I think it's Nadal

 

[Nadalfan2013]

What an amazing start of the year! Go Rafa! Keep going you GOAT!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa left his spare pair of shoes back at

Just listen to Rafa saying he left his other pair of shoes at the hotel,felt he wasn't gripping the court properly,maybe that reason he got agaitated after the 1st set

Yeah your probably right he knows he has to lift in game against Meddy.It is just his serve that was a worry to me in his match

I know for sure Nadal has the most wins against world number 1 in the Open Era. However, as of stand right now, if Nadal wins tomorrow, it would not count on his wins against world number 1 because Medvedev will not be officially world number 1 until this upcoming Monday.

That has to be combined wins over Roger and Novak when they were at #1, I guess.

For now! We'll see how long it lasts! I seem to remember 12-17-20 not that long ago! It became 20-20-20 real quick! We'll see how it ends!

Tracy Austin, Paul Annacone, Jason Goodall, Roby Koenig, John McEnroe, Martina, Taylor Townsend, Kamau Murray, Darren Cahill.. Chrisy E most of the time..are all very good analyzing tennis..

You are correct! Nadal never faced Murray when the latter became World Number 1 late 2016 to mid-2017.

I believe his point was to yours about how "sad" it was that this was Rafa's best start of a year. You have no feel whatsoever for what is "sad" in a person's record. Like being 2-1 on the year, and it's basically March? Like being disqualified out of a Major? That's going to last, like it or not.

 

[Fiero425]

Overall, doesn't that mean Rafa's been carry the water as #2 more often with Federer and Djokovic in the top spot at #1? Grasping at straws?

That, I would say is grasping at straws on your part. Novak was a long-time bridesmaid at #3 and #4, and for a long time he was barely beating the #1 or #2 guys. He had to wait for them to wane, so at least Rafa has always been beating up on #1. He beat #1 Roger when he was 17. He beat former #1 Moya when he was 16. How long did it take Novak to beat a current or former #1? And remember all that talk about Roger getting a cruise on the protected Covid rankings? So did Novak.

Zverev was fined $40,000,and will forfeit more than $30,000 in prize money (singles and doubles) and all ranking points from the Mexican Open.
In addition to those penalities,the ATP announced Thursday it would undertake 'a further review of the incident'.

this is not enough he should be charged more,he has some scary tendencies and tries hard to be mr nice guy.I dont trust him after he tested positive for that pova drug.He plays ugly tennis...
