Unpopular Opinions

This is a thread designed for you to share your opinions that are unpopular. It can be anything related to the mens tennis game

I am a fan of Rafael Nadal.

Tomic is gonna win a title on clay (not counting american clay tourneys)

I hate it when any other food gets on my rice.

Oh you'd be surprised. Many people like to dump all kinds of stuff on their rice.

I'm a Davydenko fan...atic and a proud tard of him
I hate boring defensive baseliners (mentioning BORING defensive baseliners cause Coria/Monfils and to a least extent Simon/Robredo are far more entertaining FOR ME ! than Ferrmug/Nadull/Faker/Vulture in chief)
I support the great mighty russians in Olympics/Davis cup if Bulgaria one day plays against Russia i'll be for Russia.
That's enough for now.
Oh i forgot Federer is the GOAT in spite of the fact that he failed my Davys Career i still can consider him the GOAT and he shows it that he is the best !

Rosol will fall

Davis Cup is irrelevant to the discussion of achievements by a single player.

can't see anything unpopular here. please stay on-topic guys.

The fact that you`ve defeated Federer/Djokovic/Nadal don´t convert you on a GOAT if you are a Mug

Ferrer > Murray

The fact that you`ve defeated Federer/Djokovic/Nadal don´t convert you on a GOAT if you are a Mug

do u mean all of them or just one of them? in the first case you'd certainly be elegible to be the goat.

This is not unpopular

Your H2H against Nadal isn't the most important aspect in evaluating your position in the all-time list for greatest tennis players.

nadal is a one dimensional player.
nadal's playstyle is boring and good if you're having insomnia.

WTF is the 5th most important tournament after the slams.

Federer 2012 > Djokovic 2012.

do u mean all of them or just one of them? in the first case you'd certainly be elegible to be the goat.

I mean one of them. I´m thinking in people like Rosol, García López, Nishikori, Gulbis, Montañes and so on

1.Federer is the GOAT.
2.Verdasco bends over to Nadal
3.Djokovic wouldn't dominate the 2011 season without changing his diet.
4.Murray falls apart under pressure in front of the home crowd.

I hink the same, but yes, here it´s unpopular :eek:

Volandri defeated all of them and I don't think anyone here thinks Volandri is the goat. except for maybe filoboy but we all know he's got issues.

Ferrer is not a "vulture" and he is a good top ten

Volandri defeated all of them and I don't think anyone here thinks Volandri is the goat. except for maybe filoboy but we all know he's got issues.

:haha:

I´m referring to what happens everytime a mug defeat these players, it´s like a God for a few months. And i just don´t like that:wavey:

Ferrer is not a "vulture" and he is a good top ten

:yeah:

Ferrer is not a "vulture" and he is a good top ten

i agree with this :) the vast majority of the time i genuinely enjoy watching ferrer play. except when he is playing nadal, but that is generally less playing and more kneeling down and weeping silent tears of adoring worship so it doesn't really count anyway

mental aspect certainly plays a role on those occasions. as for me I consider Ferrer by far superior than Nadal.

i agree, in my opinion he 100% has the game to beat nadal, but i doubt he will ever really believe that

ok unpopular one (you know my mug tardism is beyond comprehension but you don't know that)
I consider to become a proffesional tennis player ONE DAY (it means to me having been at least 52 weeks with a ranking in the ATP rankings) and i've already played 3 futures in bulgaria (10,000$) w/l 1/3 for now (yea i know but trying to be honest in spite of that you will begin to bash me cause of muggery :sad: )

do u mean 'I consider myself to be a professional player?'

Cornet is hotter than Radwanska.

do u mean 'I consider myself to be a professional player?'

I consider myself to BECOME* a proffesional player one day

That´s the problem. He declares to te press a lot of times that he needs a miracle to beat Nada, he don´t believe on him on that match

Roddick should have won at least 4 slams.

I consider myself to BECOME* a proffesional player one day

still doesn't sound that good to my ears the way you've put it.

Roddick should have won at least 4 slams.

u are fukin joking me right?

Good luck!!! :yeah:

Thanks man very much i'm trying my best all day thinking about tennis...
i'll right now describe myself a little bit more

Roddick should have won at least 4 slams.

Which ones?

Which ones?

I didn't dare to ask.

Thanks man very much i'm trying my best all day thinking about tennis...

But you should keep studying because if tennis doesn't work out you'll still have to make a living.

Murray will win a slam one day.

Roddick should have won at least 4 slams.

I tend to agree. Roland Garros was there for the taking when he was playing. He also had good chances at HC slams in 2002.

I didn't dare to ask.

Just to see if he was trolling or being serious.

You can compare between eras.

Rochus has more hair than Rafa NAdal.

I didn't dare to ask.

Just to see if he was trolling or being serious.
Struck a nerve guys? :hug:

Not really. But which ones? (just so I can have a laugh)

Modern eras > ancient eras by default

So bad :o

My father is my tennis coach when i was little till the 7th year i sometimes (1 day in the week) was on the court and watching my older brother play i wasn't very interested in tennis
I began my training 7 years old one day i decided to try

but ... i didn't train properly ... (i was a headcase ... and maybe ... still am) the other kids began to train more and more and they surpassed me slowly till when i was 14 year old ... (A LOT OF muggery ... i'm now pissed for these 7 wasted years) then it clicked something in me i began to train more and more seriously the guys that in 7th grade (14 years old) beat me 6/0 6/0 now i'm beating them 6/2 6/3 smth like that ...
my father always payed big attention to my brother and he always was competing in thrice as much tournaments as me (2-3 in a year i was participating in) we're from poor family ... and for that reason he didn't have funds to support both of us ... i always played with heart never gave up in a competition (played twice better than in a practice match)... now this fall 2 years will have passed since my serious training 9th (year overall) and i'm always saving money only for tennis ... we're from a small town and i play only with my brother ...
and to tell you i'm gonna participate in futures (15,000$) in Romania

That's for me and unpopular opinions
sorry for my muggish comments...

- Ferrer is an incredible player, solid world #5, and WAY better than headcases like Tsonga, Berdych and Del Potro.
- Tsonga is the stupidest player of the top 50 (at least).
- Del Potro will never win another title bigger than ATP 500.
- Murray will win multiple Slams, and he is the complete opposite of a pusher.
- Nadal's game is way more attractive to watch than Djokovic's.
- I hate Milos Raonic.
- Federer, Nadal and Djokovic will win all Slams (or all Slams except for one) until the end of 2014.
- Nadal will win either RG 2013 or RG 2014. Not both.
- There are only 8 players in the world better than Janko Tipsarevic (most think he should be out of top 10).
- Radwanska is hot.

Federer 2012 > Djokovic 2012.

That's not an unpopular opinion. That's a fact.

For a very large amount of fans of Nadal the origin of their Nadal-fandom was born from not liking/caring from Federer and so becoming disillusioned of his dominance, rather than any aspect of personality or actual tennis style of Nadal himself.

Murray is a fantastic player, sexy, and a joy to watch.

Not really. But which ones? (just so I can have a laugh)
I guess I did. :lol:


I'm not a fan of Roger Federer.
x2

Murray will be a multiple slam winner and No.1!

Federer is lucky to be a GOAT cause he won 12/17 grand slams in a weak era (2003-2007)!

Novak Djokovic will win Golden career slam and CYGS!

Novak Djokovic will win more slams than Rafael Nadal!

I'm not a fan of Roger Federer.

The thread asked for unpopular, not for wrong opinions :rolleyes:.

whish u the best man. is it possible to place bets on your matches? I'd like to hear from u on this matter and possibly organize something.

The thread asked for unpopular, not for wrong opinions :rolleyes:.
Good comeback, although I think that's a contradiction in terms.

Good comeback, although I think that's a contradiction in terms.

It depends on the subject. Opinions can't go against facts.

For example nadal is getting bald. Fact
Nadal picks his butt and that's gross. The first part is fact, the second is subjective. Some people might find nadal's butt picking elegant and cool.

Roddick should have won at least 4 slams.

Not one, not two, not three, etc ...:D

1. Tipsarevic is in the TOP10 most talented active players (including past-their-peak players), his only shortcoming is his hight (so he has smaller arm range or however you say it), and hadn't he clowned around the tour for the last 10 years, he could have done big things and crack TOP5 (in the the era when Davy, Ljubo and Nalby were no3-5 and when Boredo cracked it)
2. Peak Delpo is a much better player than Murray (except on grass) but he become a huge choker after the injury when he lost his confidence, and his USO2009 FH was the best shot of any active player
3. Tsonga wont win a GS ever, although he has the game for it.
4. Nadals topspin FH is the best shot in the game (after Isners serve - it still hurts me from today :sad: ) but the rest of his shots (I don't count movement) are not that good (not to say bad) for a player ranked 1/2/3

I like Novak, Nadal AND Fed

Don't like Murray

How is not liking Murray unpopular here?

murray is a pusher

nadal should have retired after RG
the difference between nole 2008 and nole 2011 is that everyone else started to suck majorly

1. Tipsarevic is in the TOP10 most talented active players (including past-their-peak players), his only shortcoming is his hight (so he has smaller arm range or however you say it)


tipsy 179cm
ferret 175cm
agassi 180cm
davydenko 178cm
chang 175cm
nalbandian 180cm

nadal is an overachiever.

whish u the best man. is it possible to place bets on your matches? I'd like to hear from u on this matter and possibly organize something.

IDK for the bets really sorry man but thanks for the support you really are springing some hope in me (i have faith in myself but only me and my father...) thanks so much :)

nadal is a one dimensional player.
nadal's playstyle is boring and good if you're having insomnia.

WTF is the 5th most important tournament after the slams.

Federer 2012 > Djokovic 2012.

OMG now it's not an unpopular opinion, cuz I think the same :(

tipsy 179cm
ferret 175cm
agassi 180cm
davydenko 178cm
chang 175cm
nalbandian 180cm

I didn't say it's impossible to be a TOP player with that hight, just that it's a shotcoming in this era when most of the top players are 187/8+, it was easier some years ago to be top player with that hight.
And i'm not that bias or blind to say Tipsy is in the level of Agassi and Chang (although I didn't watch him play so I wont talk about him). But I do think he had the talent to have a Nalbandian-like career (in best case) or slightly worse (bcs Nalby to me is talented as fuck and should be a multyple GS winner if he could just stay consistent). As for Ferrer, I do think Janko is more talented and could have had a career to match David if he was committed to the game as Ferrer was, but hats down for David for being such a hard worker (even if I don't like him)

murray is a pusher

Apparently Murray haters are as numerous as they are illiterate. They asked for unpopular opinions, yet idiots like you are a dime a dozen.

In contrast to you armchair pundit, the guy has played professional tennis (I hope he confirms it).

With that being said, Murray is a pusher.

Federer is a ballhog in doubles, and Wawrinka just stands there being useless :o

nadal should have retired after RG
the difference between nole 2008 and nole 2011 is that everyone else started to suck majorly

That's not unpopular, that's stupid.

Apparently Murray haters are as numerous as they are illiterate. They asked for unpopular opinions, yet idiots like you are a dime a dozen.

no one in my district thinks murray is a pusher, who's right then?

The only time Murray has folded mentally in a slam final was against Djokovic. And even in that match it didn't affect the outcome. In general his relative shortcomings have very little to do with anything mental, but happen because he is not good enough.

- Ferrer is an incredible player, solid world #5, and WAY better than headcases like Tsonga, Berdych and Del Potro. :no:
- Tsonga is the stupidest player of the top 50 (at least). :no:
- I hate Milos Raonic. :no:
- There are only 8 players in the world better than Janko Tipsarevic (most think he should be out of top 10). :yeah:
- Radwanska is hot. :yeah:




- Murray (...) is the complete opposite of a pusher.
He ain't a pusher but he ain't the opposite of a pusher either.


- Nadal's game is way more attractive to watch than Djokovic's.

Not way more, but a bit more yeah (at least on clay).




- Del Potro will never win another title bigger than ATP 500.
- Murray will win multiple Slams
- Federer, Nadal and Djokovic will win all Slams (or all Slams except for one) until the end of 2014.
- Nadal will win either RG 2013 or RG 2014. Not both.
I dont' know how that is unpopular, those are reasonable predictions.

The only time Murray has folded mentally in a slam final was against Djokovic. And even in that match it didn't affect the outcome. In general his relative shortcomings have very little to do with anything mental, but happen because he is not good enough.

Indeed,he was outplayed in all three.He started off well in the Wimbledon final but mid-way through the second set went back to his old ways.

Novak Djokovic 2.0 (2011) would beat peak Fed on plexi (AO) and poss hardcourt (USO).

Novak Djokovic 2.0 (2011) would beat peak Fed on plexi (AO) and poss hardcourt (USO).

Again, not wrong, unpopular. Jeez.

Ok, I have something unpopular to say.

Federer has been as good in 2010 and 2011 as in the former years. It is stupid to put him down just because he lost close matches against other top players.

I like players others here hate: Rafa, Roger and Ferru.

Tsonga has by far the best serve in the current top 10

Ferrer (and Monaco) doesn't belong in the top 10

Del Potro has always been more talented and better than Murray

Tipsarevic deserves his ranking, he's an extremely talented player

Federer's SF record is his most unbeatable record

Isner is the best server in tennis history

Ferrer is mentally weak, just keep a (biggish) match close and he'll choke

Aljaž Bedene is a demigod.

Nadal would just be a clay court specialist had he been playing in the mid 90s or earlier

Andy Murray isn't ready to win a slam... this great era excuse is b* llox

Djokovic is dull to watch

Sampras would have held his own against Federer, Nadal and Djokovic... he was a winner and hard worker and would have worked more on his weaker shots (backhand, ros) if he had to in order to get to the top

Laver wouldn't be a great player had he played in the mid 80s or later

Laver played in an era when their was absolutely no depths and is a big question mark in the argument for goat

Djokovic's return of serve is somewhat overrated.

Seems like the OP opened Pandora's box.
Well, well, well, here we go:

I like Federer's conceit.
IMO he is still much too gently.
Only occasionally he turns the inside out.

...Not long ago a MTF quality poster, his name is Gagsquet, posted a best-of of Federer's most arrogant statements.
Unfortunatelly this rare and precious selection has been deleted by the mods (certainly by accident).
But fortunately I saved a copy of it:
17 Slams. Won everything except Olympics single. Number 1 afer 30 years old.
But Roger, why do you need to be so haughty after such an impressive and spectacular career?
After his semi-final win against Djokovic, he proclaimed:
People were saying [about past losses], 'How are we going to survive a Wimbledon final without you?'
Come down to earth Roger, we don't need you in the final at all and people are not going to be sick if you don't make it.
Once again, Federer was being arrogant.
People blame the fake humility of Nadal but real haughtiness of Federer is maybe even worse.
Another example; after his 2011 RG final defeat:
"It's always me who's going to dictate play and decide how the outcome is going to be.
If I play well I will most likely win in the score or beat [Nadal];
if I'm not playing so well, that's when he wins."
I always say exactly the same to myself.
How can you say that you have always the outcome of the match in your hands on clay against Rafa?
This sentence is at best self-delusion, at worse unbelievable arrogance.
In my opinion, Roger is not delusional so it's the second option.
He is being arrogant and proving again that nobody loves Roger Federer more than Roger Federer.
It's indisputable that he is an artist of the game and maybe the greatest of all times.
But his image of a gentleman in the public opinion is quite a lie. He is sly, choosing his words with precaution.
When Roger speaks with the media, he knows how to hide his haughtiness but it's easy to point out his real nature.
"The nicer the point, the more the better I feel, the more excited I get. But I never play that my opponent looks stupid.
I think that is wrong. I have too much respect for every opponent I play."
Roger Federer on his shot selection.
No comment.
I think that many professinals sooner or later abandon to fuck their opponents like this. But yes, in his comment it sounds like JesusFed is the big exception.
Federer's presser in Dubai:
"It would be great having [Pete Sampras' record for most weeks at No.1] but my life is very much OK without it, too.
Pete is a good friend and was an amazing champion for our game. I don't need to break every record he has."
It looks like a classy comment but it is not.
Roger praises Sampras but he needs to remind us that he broke pretty much all his records! Why so haughty Roger?
I had totally forgotten about these broken records too if he hadn't reminded us.
During Wimbly 2008: "I'll have a chance to win this tournament for the next five or ten years."
Next ten years? Why so haughty Roger?
After his 2007 AO win: "It's already my 10th in such a short period of time. I amazed myself."
Did you just say you amaze yourself? Why so haughty Roger?
Well, if I had won so many great matches I would watch the videotapes of them every evening together with my girlfriend. Of course I would grant her to choose the particular video.
Just remember: The "15" jacket affair against Roddick in Wimbledon 2009. Arrogant.
His words about the match points against Djokovic in the USO last year. Arrogant.
The despicable criticism of Wawrinka during the Davis cup. Arrogant.
The notorious "insignificant" loss against Djoko in Montreal. Arrogant.
Etc.
I cannot understand why such an awesome tennis player with such an outstanding game can be so cocky, haughty and arrogant.
For me that's not so hard to understand, to be honest.
Media are depicting a perfect character but the true face of the Swiss is much more shady.
I also suspect that these findings are just the tip of the iceberg!
Some people are saying he can be cocky with all his achievements, that's for sure not my opinion.
It took much too long. Were really all this achievements necessary just to become a bit cocky? That's my opinion.
With greatness comes higher expectations. I wish Federer was humbler, he would be the perfect guy to support.
Yes, if he was perfect, then he was perfect. But even that wouldn't be to everyone's taste.
I rest my case. Federer is definitely too haughty to root for.
I think that Federer is a very sore loser. Most people can be happy that he doesn't lose so often.

My comment wasn't as bad as your comment about someone's nipples. :facepalm:

Djokovic's 2011 season was the greatest season ever.

seles should be female goat
(i dont even like her)

Nadal-Djokovic era is weak.

I wish there were more threads started about Nole related articles in the Off Topic section.

Arrogant men are sexy. :shrug:

Yeah but I'd prefer someone whose truthful and honest instead of talking shit :o

Plus, I was kidding :o

Why be awed at nipples while the melons are the star of the show?

Nadal is a lot more conceited than Federer. Federer says stupid stuff at press conferences but is always respectful of his opponents during matches. Nadal's actions and attitude towards Rosol in their Wimbledon match shows a lot more arrogance than we have ever seen or will ever see from Federer.

Nadal is getting burned out and doesn't really enjoy playing tennis anymore.

Murray's mom and Nole's family have been more of a hinderance to their careers since they became pros than a help.

nadal will win a non clay slam before he retires
murray.........wont ever win a slam
roddick/hewitt/haas have got one big run at a big event left in them

seles should be female goat
(i dont even like her)

How is this unpopular? This is so true.

Tomic will hit Top 5/10 someday.
Murray will win a Slam.
Nadal is still the Clay GOAT.

Probably more to come.

How is this unpopular? This is so true.

sadly she got stabbed :(

I think she was going to dominate the 90's

1. Nalbandian is an unsung hero.
2. Nalbandian is not fat.
3. Tomug will rise high in the rankings if players don't regularly put him in his place.
4. Nadal still has a good chance of beating Fed in GS count and will play past 30.

5. I despise Isner and Raonic but respect Karlovic because he volleys extremely well (more "complete" game or perhaps more well-rounded).

very unpopular: draws on grand slams are fair and relative imbalance (you-know-what-I-mean) is within expected statistical variance.

Nalbandian and safin at their peak were better than fed at his peak on hard courts

They would have crushed rafole

Grass
Peak hewitt>nadal>nole

Hard
Hewitt>nole>nadal

Del Potro isn't humble at all.

"Bad matchup" is a myth created by a bunch of Fedtards in order to justify their "God" being bitchslapped by Rafa year after year.

It's always the fault of a top player if his opponents commit hara-kiri before they are scheduled to meet him.

No, wait a minute - unpopular? It's NEVER the fault. . .

"Bad matchup" is a myth created by a bunch of Fedtards in order to justify their "God" being bitchslapped by Rafa year after year.

:rolleyes:

I agree with a couple of opinions on Tipsy being talented. He may be a mug in every other dimension but tennis he's got loads.

Tsonga's serve is also the best in the current top 10 (I was too lazy to quote you post, Manuel :p).

Baghdatis is skinny.

Doping is rife in tennis.
The only reason the sport doesn't have a doping problem is because the ATP and ITF refuse to implement a proper anti-doping programme.

Peak Federer is not a god

- Tsonga can beat Any player when he's on

- Murray is not good enough to win a slam

- Tsonga is not a clown. He plays a high risk game, and risks don't pay off at times.

- I think peak Sampras would be a top player today, and would win a slam

Tomic will have a better career than Roddick.

Federer is by far the most likeable human being in the top 3, despite some flaws.

Ferrer is a great addition to the top 10.

There is less fixing in tennis than we are being told on tennis forums.

Djokovic's "wonderful all-round" game is not wonderful and is not all-round, but it's very effective, so props for that.

I like very many things about Andy Murray.

Bar extreme cases of injury layoffs, ranking doesn't lie.

Djokovic-Nadal match up is :zzz:

Damir Dzumhur should have been awarded an Olympic WC.

Nadal is a very good and talented tennis player (but I'm still surprised he has any fans).

Gilles Simon has pretty groundstrokes.

Paolo Lorenzi is not a mug.

Isner is not all-serve.

Nadal is a lot more conceited than Federer. Federer says stupid stuff at press conferences but is always respectful of his opponents during matches. Nadal's actions and attitude towards Rosol in their Wimbledon match shows a lot more arrogance than we have ever seen or will ever see from Federer.

I can't understand how people don't see this. Seems like Fedhaters want to have it both ways saying Fed is conceited and calculative in his statements AND YET it's easy to tell his arrogance in his statements, when the point of being calculative is that people can't see your true nature despite how arrogant or smth else you are. If anything, Federer is one of the most brutally honest top players ever, and I'd have that all day over Nadal's "I gonna have to play my best to have a chance, no?", when playing against a #342.

Players consistantly going over the time-limit should be penalised for as long as they adjust it to acceptable amount.

Tsonga has by far the best serve in the current top 10

Ferrer (and Monaco) doesn't belong in the top 10

Del Potro has always been more talented and better than Murray

Tipsarevic deserves his ranking, he's an extremely talented player

Federer's SF record is his most unbeatable record

Isner is the best server in tennis history

Ferrer is mentally weak, just keep a (biggish) match close and he'll choke

Since when did brainless ballbashing=talent?

The Australian open final this year was the worst match I've ever seen. if you like to follow score boards then Im sure it was great. but all it was was two players cheating as much as they could to try and distract he other while playing low quality tennis on a terrible surface. with botting galore from both.

- Tsonga can beat Any player when he's on

- Murray is not good enough to win a slam

- Tsonga is not a clown. He plays a high risk game, and risks don't pay off at times.

- I think peak Sampras would be a top player today, and would win a slam

This is an unpopular opinion? Seems to me like it's stating the obvious.

I think he meant peak Rampras

WTA-tennis should offer about 1/4 of the prize money of the ATP.

This is an unpopular opinion? Seems to me like it's stating the obvious.

I don't know on here, but other people have said that Prime Sampras wouldn't be top 3 today :shrug:

Yeah it's stupid

Ferrer is a nice guy and a talented player. I support him whenever he is not playing against federer.
He is not a VULTURE.

Unpopular opinions, hmm? Alright.

America never landed on the moon.

Prove me wrong.

1. I think Djokovic is a pusher. He plays off other players' speed. When he is given no rhythm he cant beat anybody. He is abysmal at net and a very limited player compared to the other #1's.

2. I think Andy Murray is lucky to have reached 4 slam finals with that dull gametype. He basically does nothing but push the ball in.

"Bad matchup" is a myth created by a bunch of Fedtards in order to justify their "God" being bitchslapped by Rafa year after year.

There is a difference between unpopular opinions and stupid trolling. That comment falls under stupid trolling, unless of course you actually believe it. If you do believe it, then :spit:

Bellluci is going to win at least one slam in his career.

I find Novak's family (especially his dad) endearing.

The epitome of endearing :hearts:

http://cornedbeefhash.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/djokovic-family-aus08.jpg?w=450

Exactly.

Djokovic has the best sportsmanship in the history of sport.

Some very interesting opinions on this thread and some very stupid ones (Djokovic is a pusher :facepalm:)

This thread is called unpopular opinions, if you dont like it- dont read it.


Djokovic is a pusher, or so I think. Ive watched the entire match against Tsonga, and I couldnt count 5 times he actually got a winner in the court. I counted 1 in the final game, and 1 netcord winner in the game before that. People say he serves well- Which is completely false, as he has easily the worst serve bar Ferrer in the top 10, its just Tsonga is a mug returner.

He and mugray are a complete disgrace to the game of tennis. I hate Nadal, but he is twice more offensive as both of them combined, its like comparing Sampras to Ferrer...

Sapoed predictions are wise prophecy.

I wouldn't call Djokovic a pusher, but his offensive skills are massively overrated. I think Murray, when he's using the right tactics (ie. actually trying to attack) is more complete in this area, but he's far too passive most of the time.

Got a bad rep yesterday from howyesno saying "37 winners, thanks you" :lol:

21 winners after serve isn't actually that many in a 3 set match against a broke back Hewitt, on grass. Only 6 winners off that apparently legendary backhand :confused:

Stats say he hit 10 winners off the ground against Tsonga today as opposed to Tsonga's 2 :lol:

Lol, I know this is called unpopular opinions, but some of you are borderline making things up :) If Nole is that successful pusher, where are other pushers in the top, why aren't they winning multiple slams? Many of those UEs are as good as winners, that the opponent managed to graze the ball or put it feebly into the bottom of the net doesn't change much. It's not as flashy though, nothing beats Rosol's 5th :lol:

Shots where you clip an attacking shot and the ball flies past you or you somehow get your racket on the ball but it doesn't land back in court aren't classed as unforced errors.

And that is irrelevant anyway, many excellent attackers in tennis history haven't had problems posting large numbers of winners on the stats board, unlike Djokovic, who's to some biased viewers, an amazing attacking player. He is an excellent consistency based and defensive player, but not attacker.

Exactly, thats precisely right. What makes Djokovic such a great player is that he is constantly solid, and one of the most consistent players of his time. Its really not his fault that its his kind of boring tennis that brings results, I mean if that kind of dull tennis wins you matches, of course you should play it. Theres no point in being a brainless attacking player like Tsonga if you net every second volley.

Fed is handsome macho type.

Andy Murray is a sex symbol.

Tomic has an exciting game.

Mark Lenders actually is a good analyst.

I firmly believe that the Wimbledon 2008 final wasn't anywhere near The Greatest Match of All Time.

ivan lendl would have dominated todays game
crap coach but exactly what murray has always needed
a no-bullshit father figure andy can respect- to keep him in line

Not true. The level of play was clearly higher in 2007. People are often blinded by hype and drama and that's the case here, quite clearly.

Robert Lindstedt is simply misunderstood.

Marcos Baghdatis is too nice and doesn't have enough of a killer instinct.

Juan Ignacio Chela has underachieved in his career.

Alex Bogdanovic still has the ability to crack the top 100.

Carlos Moya is a Champions Tour vulture.

Even up to as late as 2007 Paul Haarhuis could still have beaten most of the world's top 30-100 in Singles.


Fairly sure most of those will be fairly unpopular!

We should all follow your example and appear when your fave is on top whilst going into hiding when he gets his arse kicked :inlove:. You're such a role model, Nole fan.

Andy Mugray will win a slam.

MTF is the beacon of objectivity.

Cilic's mono is a source of arousal.

Haas will be a multiple slam winner.

Djokovic is not a pusher.

Federer was a superior play when donning the ponytail.

Djokovic winning Wimbledon was a bigger joke than Nadal winning it.

Almagro's face loses in size in real life viewing.

Two handed backhand is not a legitimate stroke.

Tomic is not that talented.

Simon is not a tactical mastermind.

TDK is not the best movie of all time.

5th set tiebreakers at 12 games all. (uso remains the same due to silly saturday.)
Agree but then the difference is not enough to warrant USO the exception, it should be homogeneised. It should be 12TB in the final set at all GSs, WTF final match and Masters1000 final match.

Donald Young will one day win 30 matches in a row.

Donald Young's losing streak is a prelude to his glorious 2012 US Open run.

The mullet was the greatest hairstyle in tennis history

Tennis should be played in jean shorts

Here's a "big tip": Sampras should take back all the money he's given to Agassi's foundation.

Brooke Shields and Meth are two of the greatest things ever for the sport of tennis.

Fixed. And you're right, it will come very soon :)

What you fixed it to is a popular opinion though.

Wang Hao is a pusher.

Blue Clay is a good surface.

Novak will win more titles than Rafa at the end of their carrers.

If Roger Federer doesn`t win the Gold Medal, Laver have a best carrer than him. (And I am a great Federer fan)

Nalbandian is as skillful as Federer.

Warlocq approves that post.

Carpet is a good surface

I have got some more:


Djokovic is by far the most boring top 10 player. He and Ferrer are very close in that department, but Djokovic just takes it by a whisker.

Nadal will never win another hard court slam.

Federer will retire later than both Nadal and Djokovic.

Raonic is a future top 3 player.

I think most if not all clay 250 should be demoted to high level challengers.

The WTF should be 8 players in 1 group, and be forced to play each other. This way it will be much better because each player will have to play 7 matches and the 2 top players from the group play in the final. Just like a grand slam, just one match more.

Nadal has great variety and beautiful gamestyle.

:D

Oh well, some more:

Ferrer is not a vulture. Its not his fault that he can schedule well.

As opposed to what other people on MTF say, Clownga doesnt serve nearly as well as he is credited to. Same could be said for Berdych. Murray on the other hand, has a good serve, and probably the second top serve of the top 10 after Federer. By the way, Im talking only about first serve, because murray has easily the worst second serve of the top 10.

I have got some more:

The WTF should be 8 players in 1 group , and be forced to play each other. This way it will be much better because each player will have to play 7 matches and the finalists from each group play in a final. Just like a grand slam, just one match more.

I dont get it...1 group or 2 groups? :scratch:

I dont get it...1 group or 2 groups? :scratch:

I didnt write it correctly, I meant that the winners of the group (which means the top 2 players to finish) will play each other in the final. So, a little mistake of mine there, I meant just 1 group.

Satasonic is a mug of the highest order. But I don't think that can be labelled as unpopular opinion. :scratch:

What, is it not allowed for me to dislike Djokovic? I hate his style of play, not Djokovic himself. If he would play a more attractive game style I would totally go for him :wavey:

We should all follow your example and appear when your fave is on top whilst going into hiding when he gets his arse kicked :inlove:. You're such a role model, Nole fan.

Referring to Rafa as 'Nadull' is funny & original. I detest the person responsible for coining it.

Fedtards are cult members who refuse logic and live in their bubble of a world

.... unpopular but true

When fit and healthy (so not last year when he was just coming back), Del Potro's FH is the best forehand on tour.

Safin and Nalbandian in their prime had deadlier backhands than Djokovic

Wawrinka has the best one hander on tour

Cilic is one of the top 5 returners of big serves on tour, if not better

Bjorn Phau underachieved.

Albert Ramos will be a top 20 player.

Bernard Tomic will win one masters event.

nadal is very talented

his forehand motion is insane- and no one else could ever pull off a motion like that and develop the power he does

he would have dominated any clay era

Steroids are a big problem in professional tennis. Instead of fixing the problem, the ITF sticks its head in the sand and pretends there is no problem, they let winners and top players get away with a lot more and use the lower ranked players as sacrificial lambs in order to show that there are strict guidelines for everyone.

Winning more "big points" than your opponent in a close match is often just down to luck, not magical mental energy and positive thinking bullshit.

Gasquet is the most talented player of his generation, the greatest shotmaker. If only he were as fit as Djodal he`d beat them and others everywhere sitting on 7-8 Slams already.

I don't think these two are unpopular, at all.

Maybe he means that it's an unpopular opinion that those are an unpopular opinion.

David Nalbandian is the epitome of health and physical fitness.

Puts the Greek statues of Zeus and Poseidon to shame.

Richie`s forehand is underrated. Sure, he can blast only from some position and can`t generate a lot of power by himself, but his passing shots for example are beautifull. And a lot depends on Gasquet`s mood. If he is on fire he can make winners from both wings on any taste.

David Nalbandian is the epitome of health and physical fitness.

You being a fan of Nadal isn't an opinion BTW, it's a fact.

Tsonga is an arrogant, unsportsmanslike bastard.

About 60% of the top 100 men dope (including 3 of the top 4).
About 75% of the top 100 women dope.

Djokovic's BH is overrated. His speed, movement and flexibility are making it looks better than it actually is.

In a pure ball striking sense, when the hitter sets up properly, Nalbandian hits a better one. Murray and Gasquet also hit better BHs, or at least on par.

For a very large amount of fans of Nadal the origin of their Nadal-fandom was born from not liking/caring from Federer and so becoming disillusioned of his dominance, rather than any aspect of personality or actual tennis style of Nadal himself.

To some extent true I think. Doesn't mean at all it has nothing to do with his game r with him.

To some extent true I think. Doesn't mean at all it has nothing to do with his game r with him.

Indeed, Nadal is the exact opposite of Federer - he cheats, screams, picks his arse and moonballs/retrieves like there's no tomorrow. Saying someone hates Federer and supports Nadal pretty much means the same thing. That's why I never get Fedals.

Andy Murray will win the final today easily in 3 or 4 sets.

Congrats Andy Murray on your gold medal.

That Donald Young will win another ATP match before the US Open

Tipsarevic should NOT have retired today when he was 4-1 down.

That Donald Young will win another ATP match before the US Open

That earns me rep admit it

*Bump for off season*

- Kei Nishikori will finish top 10 next year

- I don't think Tsonga will start declining next season.

- Speaking of Tsonga. His 'Peak level' is the 2nd highest out of the active players behind Federer

- Del Potro will win a slam next year

- Nadal will return well, and have a good 2013

I'm ambitious about my favourites ;)

David Ferrer is a way better player than Tomas Berdych.

Nobody really dislikes Federer, haters are just people trying to look original or nationalists.

Murray's win at the US Open was actually really impressive because of how he handled the wind as opposed to undermined because of it.

Hard work is more deserving of respect than natural talent.

Monaco is an enjoyable player to watch play tennis.

You'll always find more hard working men than tennis players.
Talent= genius, and genius must be praised and respected for its quality itself rathen than the way the player managed to "get" it.
Would you say any hard working but retarded high school kid is more deserving of respect than Einstein?

Federers crowd popularity exists because housewifes, 30 yr old students, unemployed, underemployed, adult children are attracted to high ego and artistic tennis without any real understanding of mental strength (explains their own failings in life - no mental strength) or spirit of sport (again explains their own failing - no fighting spirit)

Nole & Rafa have less fans as there are less successful people in the world.
Successful people respect strong mental strength and a fighting spirit.
Also, standing up to the norm (Federer) and breaking through that stumbling block.

Roger Federer is humble. He represents the ethos of the sport. People can't see that because they are blinded by their own egos or partisan spirit or their ingratiating hero-worship towards their favorite players.
