@mariner4life I reckon we'll get some good players coming through once those 3 retire, but aside from Fed that could be a few years away... I think Nadal will go first as he's hammered his body Novak has also had injuries but I think hes got quite a bit left in the tank.
They really are just at another level. A big part of that is how they've pushed each other. Esp Fed and Nadal who have had amazing duels over the years.
Fark, image if it was just one of them playing these last 10 years...40+ titles probably! just hand the prize over brah 😂

Who were the other 11?
Off top of my head:
Stan Wawrinka x 3?
Andy Murray x 3?
Del Potro
Roddick and Safin might have picked one early on in there, and there was a one off US open winner that I can't remember but was around for a long time, maybe Cilic? Or did Del Potro win 2 US?
Can't think of the other one... -

@Snowy Nor me - but, I can remember watching him win.
Interestingly, Gaudio and Roger both made their Grand Slam debuts at the 1999 French Open - Rog went out in the 1st round - Gaudio got to the third.
But Gaston was pretty much done as any sort of force by 2007.

Gotta love bubble and squeak poking the spanish bull
Nick Kyrgios got called for a time violation, and responded by mimicking Rafael Nadal
Nick Kyrgios is hit with a time violation in his second round match with Giles Simon, and used it to reignite his feud with Rafael Nadal, who accidentally hit a ball girl in the head during his match.

@canefan Some of that is pretty funny. Kyrgrios is growing on me. Keep the humour lose the anger.
*When the Frenchman was handed his own time violation in the third set, he too pretended to pull at his underwear, sending Kyrgios into fits of giggles at the other end of the court.
"I don't wear underwear," Kyrgios said when asked about whose impression was better, "So … probably Gilles."*

I love watching him play, his variation and trick antics just make them match a great watch. Imagine if all top players played that way. Be amazing
-
@Baron-Silas-Greenback If Kyrgios and Monfils were both to win they'd meet in the next round - which could be about as entertaining as it gets....
-
Nadal Kyrgios is starting to shape up as a classic. Good Nick is out in force tonight, the full repertoire of slices trick shots trick grunts, all here but so far Nick hasn't lost his shit. Yet. Just broke a racquet though, seemed like it was for effect. One set each and 3rd set tie break

this summer has been all about Kyrgios in Australia, a complete redemption arc.
