Nadal, Federer, Djokovic in the top 3. Goes to show that the more things change the more they stay the same.

Novak beat Zverev 6-2, 6-1 today. Coric beat Fed 6-4, 6-4.

...Fed tanks again to avoid the match up with Djokovic!?

With his win today, Novak now has 32 M1000 titles. Nadal has the record for most though, with 33.

The last one of the year is the Paris M1000. If Novak wins that he'll be the only player to have won all 9 (which already happened) and tie the all time record.

He'll have to knock off defending champ Jack Sock though, no easy feat. (lol)

ETA-- apparently he doesn't usually play Paris, so I don't know if he'll enter this year or not.

Not really related, but Fed has 27.

Gulbis in his first final since 2014. He's never lost one.

Monfils has never won 2 titles in a year with a chance.

This is fun

2018- the year of the GOATbis!?

Beats Isner after losing the first set 1-6, AND it was an Isner match with no tiebreaks.

1-6, 6-3, 6-3, Gulbis winning on yet another break of Isner's serve.

The tennis channel is showing a replay of Gulbis now.

Serving to tie it up at 4-5, the 2p2 fabled former favorite gets broke to lose the set 4-6.

Related, Tsitsipas is f word good.

Can't believe Gulbis was once a top 10 ranked player.

He could have been good if he gave a **** about practice.

Gulbis beats Sock in the battle of "someone has to win," and Dimitrov falls to Kukushkin in 3.

The Grigor match is starting on Tennis channel now.

I figured out why he sucks now-- he's balding! Bald spot developing at the back and front of his hair. Losing his power.

Update on Dimitrov: watching the end of the match now.

Down 4-5 in the third, but up love - 40 receiving serve (going for the break to tie it up at 5-5), he totally blows it with a series of errors and Kukushkin gets the strong hold to win 4-6.

Wow.

Zverev the Younger lost to Copil (?) in the Basel (Switzerland) 500 semis. Fed wins the other semi to make it to the championship.

Everyone new sucks.

Copil also beat Cilic earlier in that tournament.

Of course Fed was the clear favorite from the beginning of the tournament. The guy was born in Basel ffs. Talk about home-court advantage.

Cilic beat Dimitrov, and Khachanov beat Isner in the Paris M1000 today.

Defending champ Sock won, Novak won, Zverev won.

Thiem vs Coric now, Fed vs Fognini after that. Then Nishikori vs Kevin Anderson.

Not a bad day of indoor tennis.

The true young gun, Karen Khachanov, subdued the fraud Zverev 6-1, 6-2.

Can't wait till 2019, the Year of Khachanov!

I know you meant to type Year of the Coric so it's cool.

Sock lost, which means he'll lose nearly all of his points since he won this thing last year and was defending 1,000 points.

He'll fall, I think, outside the top 100.

He's also one become of the best doubles player on the tour today. Pretty strange year for him.

This could be true.

But I vow not to make the tour thread next year. I cursed Grigor by doing it.

You should just make the thread and call it "The Year of the Olds: Part 15!"

That will probably be the most accurate title anyway, but maybe you'll curse them by doing it, and then you'll get the rise of the young guns like you want!
