Another amazing stat...

This stat will NEVER be broken!

 

[the AntiPusher]

Here's a crazy fun fact: Nadal is one ATP 500 title behind Federer for most ATP 500 titles in Men's history AND he is one Masters 1000 title behind Djokovic for most Masters 1000 titles in Men's history.

So, if Nadal can somehow wins 1 more ATP 500 title and 1 more Masters 1000 title, he will have the most Slam titles in Men's history, and at least share the record with the most ATP 500 and Masters 1000 titles in Men's history!

Crazy to think about!

Barcy is his best chance for another 500 level championship .

Isnt Barcelona, where he's won 12 times his next ATP 500?

Can you believe I passed out late in 2nf set due to exhausted from getting up too early watching IGA and the hair dude win in the desert plus working out like Front in the gym .I'm watching Rafa's title match now. Norrie really is a good player. Norrie has to be on everyone's radar now.

Cameron Norrie is the defending champion of Indian Wells of 2021.

Cameron Norrie is the defending champion of Indian Wells of 2021.

He has improved A LOT since I saw him play against Nadal in the 2021 Australian Open. He is a lot more aggressive on his shots and he is definitely more consistent on the groundstrokes.

This is surprising news,
Last minute entry for Alexander Zverev,confirmed he will lead the German team in the Davis Cup tie in Brazil next weekend,on clay.
Zverev has made it very clear in the past he would not play DC under the new structure of Davis Cup.
Still waiting for the ATP to make further suspension of the incident in Mexico tournament with Zverev.

Novak Djokovic and Peugeot will not be partners going forward.Peugeot has taken a hit financially during the pandemic and Djokovic was a bit client.Vaccination is not the reason.Let's see if both sides have more to say on the topic.BTW Peugot is reducing its Roland Garos commitment as well.

Big change in Novak Djokovic's team as he splits with long time coach Marian Vajda,but the rest of his team remains the same
( no official reason at present as why the 2 parted as Vajda was one of the most successful coaches on the tour,btw I have met him personally and he is a really great guy).

Surprising news! And Djokovic just won 3 slams a year ago too!

Remember this is not the first time they have split? though agree it is still suprising

It’s interesting that they split after Djokovic goes into a long slam streak.

Agree, maybe we will get a insight why the split has happened this time.I understood the reason why Marian left last time was his wife was not well,he decided he didnt want to be away from his wife for long periods of time,which was totally understandable.

 

[rafanoy1992]

I wonder how this split will affect Djokovic. Marian is probably the calm that Djokovic needs off the court.

Marian was like a father figure to Novak,he was a calming influence both on and off the court.Now that Novak is restricted to playing tournaments at present,due to his not wanting vaccination,it will be interesting to see how he performs in his next tournament.,also his lack of 'match practice' could be a telling factor this year,though I feel some countries will relax their stance on vaccinations,see ing Europe will be heading into their Spring.Summer.

More news regarding the split of Djokovic and Vajda split,
Apparently Djokovic and Vajda have agreed to a mutual split after the ATP Finals in Turin.Nothing to do with everything that has been going on since the start of 2022.
