About \\\"Heroes in tennis have one thing in common: they project the impression that they have standards, personal convictions and attitudes that they will not violate for the sake of winning a tennis match...By winning the French Open, Wilander established himself as the top player for the first half of 1988. He is the closest thing we have today to a tennis hero, falling short of being so acknowledged because he has yet to win Wimbledon or the U.S. Open.* But he is grace under pressure personified, wins consistently, plays his best in big finals, and possesses high standards. If Wilander lacks anything, it is the touch of arrogance - the aloofness of Borg, or the conspicuous pride of Laver. It is only nominally a deficiency. (Extract from article by Peter Bodo, published in TENNIS, August 1988)(*just one month before Mats did in fact win the U.S. Open)

at Turin ATP WTF (ITA)
Indoor Hard, Round Robin14 (5950) Aces +$1,084 ROI:+39.4% 30%Nov 13 2025 09:28:03...- Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) d. Novak Djokovic (SRB) 6-4 7-6(4) 6-2

Hard Court, Semi Final14 (5950) Aces +$1,084 ROI:+39.4% 30%Sep 5 2025 15:02:31If the players perform like in previous rounds, I don't think this will go more than 4 sets, at most. I was a bit doubtful about Alcaraz before the tournament, but he seems to really have peaked the hardcourt form.
Think he is serving much better than in the previous masters tournament.- Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) d. Alex De Minaur (AUS) 4-6 7-6(7) 7-5 7-6(4)
at US Open ATP Slam (USA)
Hard Court, Quarter Final14 (5950) Aces +$1,084 ROI:+39.4% 30%Sep 3 2025 14:10:14I really hope De Minaur win this, because I think he is a much more entertaning player than FAA.
And also, that I think it would be good for Tennis to have an Aussie player edtablished among the top-6. It's been a while since they had. But I think this could be a tight match, and wouldn't be surprised to see it go to at least 4 sets, maybe with a TB or two. Like someone wrote, de Minaur can be vulnerable against heavy hitters. His 1st serve must work, and he must be aggressive and tactically smart.- 14 (5950) Aces +$1,084 ROI:+39.4% 30%Aug 31 2025 15:30:25I like Ann Li, a real fighter,
Wouldn't touch Pegula as a favorite at these odds- Alexander Bublik (KAZ) d. Tommy Paul (USA) 7-6(5) 6-7(4) 6-3 6-7(5) 6-1
at US Open ATP Slam (USA)
Hard Court, Round of 3214 (5950) Aces +$1,084 ROI:+39.4% 30%Aug 30 2025 20:03:35I like Bublik, he is superb form and steady performer, BUT - he is a claycourter, at least that has been very obvious that he choose to stay in Europe and play clay tournaments after Wimbledon.
Tommy Paul is a natural hardcourter,.in good form and normally I don't read much into H2H-records, especially matches older than 2 years, but a 6-1 H2H in favor of Tommy Paul is hard to look away from..- Taylor Townsend (USA) d. Mirra Andreeva (RUS) 7-5 6-2
