Tennis Random, Random (On Court)

Yes, Tsitsi could be #6 ahead of Rublev but at the moment, he is not looking like a top player..same with Coco .I am looking at the present,, not the past so having been a finalist at RG doesn't mean much to me

Stefanos has not recovered from whatever injury that was.

Doubles replaced by pickleball? I'm not remotely interested. I'll play pickleball, it's fun, but it's not tennis.

It is not even Padel.
The level of athleticism needed for both sports must be about 25% of what is needed to tennis.

Pretty sure that was an April Fools Day post.

Disagree on Ruud. I can't see him sitting at 5 when he has reached consecutive RG finals.

I'm not sure where to rank Ruud right now - last year's final was as a result of a good draw more than good form, and he hasn't won a tournament since Estoril last year.

That is nice. I saw the headline on the Tennis homepage and it was just about an 8-year-old prodigy, not the refugee story, and I was disappointed that Tennis was hyping such a young child. This makes more sense.

I'll never understand what's wrong with playing a lot of 250/500s for whatever reason - to boost one's ranking, rake in some money, or get in a ton of matches, if that's what some players prefer.

Egos are what's wrong with playing a bunch of 250's and 500's. It's a completely distorted view of them by most players for some likely penile reason.

[skatingfan]

Do we know how they determined which players were included?

[ti-amie]

I agree SkatingFan but it's been called vulturing for as long as I can remember. I guess it's because the higher ranked player is taking a chance from someone ranked lower to add points to their ranking.

Can you elaborate? What is their distorted view?

So the 250's can't get a big name.
How would they draw a good crowd? Featuring Carballes Baena? JJ Wolf?
