WELL, guess this is no longer a concern for (19 year old) Alcaraz.

,,,,The fraction now thanks you.
Putting aside for the moment my prior mental health commentary....IMO, at least in part, Nick lost this due to hubris (yet another apprentice of the Monfils LOOK AT ME I AM SO TALENTED!!!!! university)- incredibly cutie-patootie shots, especially during the 3rd and 5th sets resulting in breaks- when simple put-away shots would have sufficed. He coulda shoulda won this match- but, he kept letting Khachanov off the hook- so, Khachanov never really had to get any ongoing heebie-jeebies at clutch times.texasniteowl wrote: ↑Wed Sep 07, 2022 5:01 am well. I am disappointed. I was rooting for Kyrgios. I mean good for Khachanov though. But I was rooting for Nick.

Srsly? Also friends texting me that Nick might not finish. I’m not watching. Rafa would play in that leg til it falls off if he had a golden chance to win a Slam. Numb it up and keep going, Nick.Owendonovan wrote:Dude getting his hair cut 3 rows back from the court was special.

I probably lost the track of conversation. I thought Lendl was referenced in the talk about slamless #1 before that.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 8:06 pmNo. This time I was talking along the lines of Rafa being #1 for the year, regardless of the rankings. In 1989, Lendl finished the year ranked #1 in the official rankings. Of course he had been #1 for a long time before that. But, in 89, Becker won the W/USO double, beating Lendl in the USO final. So, despite of the rankings, everybody agreed that Becker was the #1 for the year.
Remember that Becker was never a Year-End #1.
That was the comparison I was making. Of course, your figures about Lendl becoming #1 first in 1983 is totally correct.
