Talk About Tennis 2.0

My vote is to retire the BIG concept. BIG is used too much for me.

I can understand 'other' as an option when the question is something as specific as 'who will win Wimbledon' and you don't think any of the named players is going to win.

Because maybe somebody thinks that Seba Baez will soon turn the corner, and I did not include him in the list.
So you can tick OTHER and explain it in the topic.

The problem with that is that there always have been the BIG something. In the 70's it was Borg, Connors and Mac, who then became Connors, Mac and Lendl, who then became Lendl, Wilander, Becker and Edberg, who then yielded to Pete, Andre, Courier and Kafelnikov (?) and who then led to the three monsters.
Anyway. Two members of the forum, during the French, proposed this topic. I simply implemented it.

Who and how many will join them to become the next BIG group? And how many slams will this new group achieve?

That is not the poll I was interested in. I want to know who is most popular on this particular site between Alcaraz and Sinner. Strict and unambiguous question (and answer) - who would you root for when they play each other.

Sinner on a fast court like AO, Turin, Alcaraz on a slow court like RG, IW..

Your rooting interest changes depending on the surface? This is quite exotic ))

Not rooting, betting

I prefer Carlitos. His maniacal way of chasing down balls was how I used to play when I was younger (of course, one or two orders of magnitude lower). Sinner is one hell of a player and he is a very fine person (it seems), but his style is not as flashy.

Carlos.

Sinner

I don't know why, but I find Alcaraz spectacularly uninteresting

And this is how warring fandoms start! Sinner is my cure for insomnia!

Sinner for me too.

WELL. Aren't we ALL just SHOCKED!!


IN the very same vein, I go with Carlos.

Looks like Sinner is getting to be the new Djokovic..the best player but with no fans!

I like Sinner because he just seems less obvious about his abilities.
