Turin. World Tour Finals (ATP)

#1

Post by ashkor87 »

we need a board now for this... who is likely to make it? with Zverev not likely, that makes Hurkacz #8.. with not many big tournaments left, I think only Fritz and Norrie have a shot of making it.. Berrettini and Sinner are a further 100 points behind.. they need about 500 points .. sounds difficult..

Ashkor. I took the liberty to expand the title a bit.
Zverev won't go; he needs a bit more time to heal. A good showing by any of the 9-15 ranked players at Paris can clinch a spot. Plus, Novak has that Wimbledon title and we are still not sure if the ATP will honor the "Slam champion" rule.
So there are a few players that can make it. And Rafa's participation is not guaranteed; it will depend on his child arriving.

Yes, I had forgotten Rafa may not go .he has never been fond of this event, has he? Turin court is very quick, at least it was when I last watched Sinner win the NextGen on it...I doubt Nadal cares much about that, he is a great champion, but it sure won't suit him much..

It is also a fact that Nadal has a really poor, atrocious, no good record at the WTF ..some of the reasons cited are libelous so I won't repeat them,!

Well, it is not that Rafa's record at WTF is atrocious; he has made the finals at least 4 times, semis a whole lot too.
It is just that he has not won it. The sole thing missing in his resume.

No chance Rafa goes.

By his standards, I mean, not by normal ones...

I think Agassi can rest assured that he will be the sole player to win at least one of everything (Slams, MS1000/Super 9's, WTF, Olympic Gold).

Talking the men, sure. In the women's you have Serena and Steffi, who both won everything at least once.
Martina and Chris also won everything available; no Olympics because tennis was not an event at the time. I think BJK did it too, as well as Court.

Djokovic needs about 700 points, to catch Hurkacz...with Paris still to go, it is certainly doable...
