Next Gen My top 3

Image
By
Recently There have been a lot of new young players making a ruckus on the mens' tour. That is what inspired me to make this article, I will go over my top 3 next gen players. My first big prospect is Zverev he is big and has a style that is a combination of Nadal, Djokovic and Raonic. He would be even deadlier if he used his height to an advantage on his serve and improved his serve.  My next pick is Kyrgios. He is an amazing natural athlete and a great entertainer how can really pound his serve down the T. He needs to work on his endurance and needs to be more active on the tour. My final pick is a more recent one, Karen Khachanov, although I haven't been able to watch him he has been responsible for two upsets in the Roland Garros so far.

Zverev, Boss Or Bust?

By
Z verev has had an amazing run in his dream 2017 season and was showing no signs of stopping ahead of this year’s US Open. Last night something unpredictable happened. He lost to his fellow next gen contender, the Croatian Borna Coric 6-3, 5-7, 6-7, 6-7. Zverev at the 2015 US Open Zverev started off his year with an impressive run to the round of 32 in the Australian Open until he got shut down by Nadal 6-2, 6-3, 6-4. Later he exited a tournament due to Kyrgios on 2 straight occasions. Which was then followed up by another defeat to Nadal in the round of 16 in Monte-Carlo. 8 days before his first round match he beat Raonic and Djokovic to get his first Masters title. Following that achievement he suffered a first round exit to Verdasco in 4 sets, 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 2-6. Maybe his curse is real! A little later, he reached a round of 16 match. Then he fell to Milos Raonic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 5-7, 6-1. I’m sure he and the majority of his fans hoped and believed he could’ve do

Martina Hingis’s Retirement, How Much Does Her Prize Money Weigh?

By
Martina Hingis has announced her retirement from tennis (again.) Effective from after the year-end tournament in Singapore. She has won 68 singles titles and 26 doubles titles, she has won 102 matches against top 10 players and has won 2-year end tournaments in singles and 3-year end tournaments in doubles and has won millions of tennis fans’ hearts across the globe. But what about the rest of her story? This definitely isn’t the first time that Martina Hingis retired from tennis, in fact, she did it twice. Once in 2003 and again in 2007, but why did it happen? Well in 2003 she retired after having multiple recent injuries. She claimed that she was in pain and it was too much for her. In her press conferences, she said that she wanted to “focus” on her studies. She claimed she was only going to play tennis recreationally she also wanted to go horseback riding more and she could do that with a more open schedule. She returned in 2005 after a short-lived retirement. Her first p

What Was key In Zverev's Triumph Over Federer And How Can You Use It?

By
Zverev managed to stop Federer from tying for second most titles in the Open Era, looks like most grand slams, most ATP Final events, most masters 1000 event finals, most 500 tournaments, most 250 tournament finals and most match wins is enough. Zverev is definitely happy for his second masters' event and for the check that says $894,585. There is no doubt that Zverev dominated in most aspects of the game. , but which of those stats were the most key? For starters Zverev’s serve was way more effective than Federer’s serve in every way possible average serve speed, 1st serve in %, 1st serve and second serve points won and double faults. Now, one of the biggest reasons for any win lies in there, but which one. The answer is 2nd serve points won, yes the mere three percent may have won Zverev the match (Zverev 61%, Federer 58%.) My theory is that if that stat is significantly under 50% you’re already 50% closer to losing that match. Another very important statistic lying in
