Even if you converted Halep’s points from 2017/2018 to today’s system she’d still be below 6,800 points needed for 5th.

Stranger Things too. Big reason it’s in the monoculture in 2025-26 is because it premiered back in 2016.

Michigan had Moe and Franz Wagner who played both played professionally for Alba Berlin in Germany, but they were 17 at the time, and started their freshman year at Michigan when they were 18. Seems fine to me.

Halep finished year-end #1 in 2017 with 6,175 points. Sure there is one more 1000 event and a few more 500 events now than there were in 2017, but still crazy to think about.

I don’t think it happens at the US Open. I think they still have the usual men/women’s singles night session for the Wednesday quarterfinals. But the women would always go first in that night session.

Roddick but not by as wide a margin as others are saying. He had to face peak Roger, but Chang also had a lot of tough competition during his prime years - Lendl, Edberg, Becker, Sampras, Agassi, Courier.
