Congrats to Felix for winning his first pro tourney this past weekend, this kid looks to be something special down the road.
Auger-Aliassime picks up first pro title in Birmingham - Tennis Canada
Those pictures make him look fast. Might not be a huge bust!!!
Pretty dumb that three guys not named Milos won grand slams this year but he'll be ranked 3rd.
Well, fuck, McDonald's value menu rankings >> FIFA rankings.ATP rankings >> FIFA rankings

I think it speaks more to the lack of dominant talent in the men's game right now when a guy who missed two grand slam QF's this year can hit 3rd in the rankings. Like esls said, it's basically Djok, Chad Michael andI think it shows how hard it is to have consistent results like Milos. I'm sure he would trade that consistency for a major title, but it's still impressive.
Injuries are a concern though. They limit his chances, and makes it hard to gain momentum / maintain his improvements...
Only a degenerate would bet on men's tennis but I would bet a #3 world ranking would be about the best he can hope for. I just don't see him besting Joker or Anne Murray in a grand slam.
Lol come on man. He's won one set vs. Djok in their past 5 meetings. Only 3 sets in those 5 matches went to tiebreak and 2 were in that match.He's knocking on the door of both Novak and Murray though, he lost two tie-breakers to Novak earlier this week and broke Novak a couple of times in the match, the positive sign is the gap is closing.

He's been better vs. Murray, particularly at the Aussie (which he lost because of injury, of course), but he's still a class below. If he had maybe won even one match of the five they played this year I'd give him more credit but he couldn't.
