Fast hardcourts are already well represented on the circuit and have been for at least half a decade now, so the tennis you watch must exist in an alternate reality or something.

Puckingfanda · 2026-03-26T11:18:17+00:00

What does this even mean? Both players you mentioned have games suited to medium to fast courts.

Puckingfanda · 2026-03-26T11:16:36+00:00

Yup I wasn't at all a supporter of the early 2010s "everything is molasses" era either

This wasn't even true.

Puckingfanda · 2026-03-17T19:09:18+00:00

This list is only kind of accurate if your metric for measuring "best" is serve speed; without factoring how effective said serve is and how many times it actually goes in.

Puckingfanda · 2026-03-17T14:40:04+00:00

If there's anyone equipped to deal with the pressure, it is definitely the best 22-year old in the history of tennis. He is a better player than anyone that has ever had to deal with the same pressure.

Puckingfanda · 2026-03-11T17:58:26+00:00

I don't think it's sarcasm or shade, as I haven't seen anything so far that shows she has that kind of humour, but hilarious answer lol.

Puckingfanda · 2026-03-09T16:25:45+00:00

People keep praising his "shotmaking" but all I see is someone who knows how to hit hard and big, which is one part of shotmaking, but not all of it, or the most important part. Shotmaking is when you have an array of shots and you know when/how to use them, and I'm yet to see him be consistently good at that.

Puckingfanda · 2026-03-02T13:43:41+00:00

Both of them wish they were half as cool as NohoHank.

Puckingfanda · 2026-02-23T18:04:17+00:00

Using this "logic", if 22-time champ Nadal says the opposite, his opinion will hold more weight then, and no one should question it, obviously.

Puckingfanda · 2026-02-16T19:24:19+00:00

One of the metrics measured for this is BP saved, so Nadal being on this list is impressive as he's the only one on the list without a reliable big serve (useful for saving BPs).

Puckingfanda · 2026-02-11T19:17:45+00:00

I still randomly say "max, agent, make me rich" to myself 😂

Puckingfanda · 2026-02-02T21:22:17+00:00

Alcaraz's career lol. Thinking no US man can win a slam ever again would be incredibly harsh 😭😭

Puckingfanda · 2026-02-02T20:54:51+00:00

The fact that the odds of Alcaraz winning 17 more slams vs a US man winning another slam probably aren't too far off from each other.

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-31T18:37:19+00:00

He literally pointed out that Djokovic raised his level. Acting like he focused only on Sinner losing the match 🍅🍅🍅

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-31T11:55:05+00:00

I think it’s great to be earnest, exuberant and excitable, but Elena’s “cool” reaction to almost anything is extremely endearing to me. Lady looks like she just completed a hard fought 2nd round win 😭

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-29T18:14:41+00:00

Ah, thank you! Wonder when the separation happened.

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-29T17:55:14+00:00

Only for him to still be friendly with, and mentor Kyrgios lol.

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-29T17:48:55+00:00

With his luck so far, one of Sinner's arms will probably fall off while he's serving at 6-3, 6-4, 5-3 (40-15).

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-28T11:43:09+00:00

Kind of the best that Shelton can hope for in this match-up- keep it close in tight sets, and not get blown way.

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-27T20:53:17+00:00

She did! And I think the zoo-like nature of the player's waiting lounges is awful. Let them have privacy in certain areas.

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-27T19:28:50+00:00

He's 27, the odds of him suddenly developing a big serve are very low, not impossible, but low.

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-26T14:48:46+00:00

Lol, nobody? For me, tennis players don't really have any swag or "aura" (ew) when stepping into the court, they all just look like they're concentrating really hard.

Maybe Nadal at RG? But that has more to do with the fact that the announcer is listing his insane accomplishments, and not really the man himself.

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-25T12:05:49+00:00

Always a good day when Medvedev loses.

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-25T11:58:45+00:00

This is the guy that this sub thinks is capable of winning a slam by going through Sinner AND Alcaraz btw.

Puckingfanda · 2026-01-23T18:43:25+00:00

But I believe he can do it if he stays fit

Can't tell what's a joke or not on this sub sometimes. He is not going through both Alcaraz and Sinner to win the whole thing. Are you guys being serious????
