@stefnox @BastienFachan Federer almost has the same record because in 2006 he was taken to a 3rd set in IW & MI before the final, but won the best-of-5 final in 3 straight sets; so does the extra set won make up for not winning the whole thing in straights? 🥴

Facts about #tennis Highlights 📺 🎾

[Tennis Data @10s_data]

@thefedexpresss The extra juicy detail is that it was:

18/19 slam finals for Federer (Wimbledon 05-AO 10; only missing AO 08)

@RazOlsRF Add says that no games, not sets, just tiebreaks.

But all of tennis is a tiebreak really…

Games = tiebreak to 4, then win by two (15,30,40,game = 1,2,3,4)

Sets = tiebreak to 6 tiebreaks, then win by two tiebreaks.

Matches = tiebreak to 2 or 3 sets of tiebreaks of tiebreaks.

@AssimR2d2 @Big3Tennis The only one to consistently play the 🎾 slam dunk!

[Tennis Data @10s_data]

@BigFhnd @RazOlsRF The 4th set was a demolition by Nadal. The but the first 3 sets were very competitive; especially 2 & 3. Worth a watch!

Let's keep an eye on @Flaviocobolli in 2026

Many players have had break out years after success at the #daviscup #tennis 🇮🇹🎾🏆

@MythAcer400 @Big3Tennis 2009 was not Federer’s best level on clay, despite it being his only title year.

2011 form was better, and probably 2006 & 2007 too. Just Rafa was in the way those years.

@LanieASassyVet @TheTennisLetter I was always hoping he would play Newport one year

@ismail_gul45637 @camerlengo73_2 It also would have be a 6th consecutive US Open!!

No one else in the Open era has won 6 at all, let alone in a row.

No one has defended the US Open since Federer last did it in 2008!!

Few things to note with this comparison:

* Federer ~35 in this clip; Nadal closer to 30. Nadal has always been a shape and spin player, but Federer in the early-mid 20s was more than capable of faster ground strokes.

* Fedal are both ensuring net clearance here, which means the power goes into spin and shape rather than flatter point to point speed.

* Federer is on the baseline taking so many balls on the rise to quickly redirect the ball and take time from Nadal. This tactic is just as effective at taking time away as it is to make the ball arrive faster. It’s comparably hard to play like this.

* sadly we don’t ever see it, but it would be have been a great contrast of styles to see younger Fedal (and Djokovic!) take on Alcaraz or Sinner today.

1972 — love the classic American sports colour combo, but otherwise looks so dated now. Nice bit of retro art

1990 — love the disco colours, but otherwise bland

2001 — iconic Sampras pose, would love to see this one in the 1972 colour scheme

2009 — quite bland

2018 — personal favourite, injects some pace and power into the image.

2025 — clean, stylish, but why drop the cool embedded player of the 2018 logo? Could
have just dropped the “tour” bit to keep it a bit more minimalist. I wonder how it would look with a tennis ball in the hole of the P

This sample schedule for 2025 meets the tour criteria for top30 players & includes 28/52 weeks off (not counting additional days when not winning tournaments)

@jackdraper0 schedule pretty much followed this (just swap Dallas/Rotterdam for Doha).

What do you think should be changed?

From Wimbledon onward it’s look more sensible, with 2 weeks on, 2 off until the end where there is a big block before the Australian Open.

If they removed 1xMasters1000 and 1x500 from minimum requirements, and moved Madrid back a week (just after Monte-Carlo which would likely be the one to get skipped) then you’d have 2 on 2 off from Miami onwards.

@wey_know @JustTennis123 Tsitsipas and Dimitrov both played great tennis that year (2019 AO & USO respectively).

The Dimitrov match in particular is an excellent highlights match to rewatch. it’s on YouTube at full length and condensed as well.

@Not_markl @DocBorelli @asud683385 Let’s not hate on Bye, the poor thing keeps on trying week in week out, in both the men’s and women’s events, and even enters multiple times. What an inspiration to never give up.

[Tennis Data @10s_data]

@TheTennisLetter It’s a free market out there.

There is a lot more business going on with the ATP and ITF then there is with whatever (relatively) little team runs the six kings once a year for only 6 players.

@norinchi_df Just casually using the main show court of a Masters 1000s for serve practice is the boss way to be retired
