The Mad Professah Lectures

Rafael Nadal of Spain defeated Nicolas Kiefer 6-3 6-2 to win the ATP Masters Series title at the Rogers Cup in Toronto yesterday. It was his 29th consecutive match win and his 5th consecutive title (Hamburg Masters, Roland Garros, Queen's, Wimbledon and now the Toronto Masters). He has now won 30 ATP titles (12 ATP Masters Series) in his career at the age of 22. He won his first match on the ATP tour at the age of 15(!) and has been the World #2 for a record 156 consecutive weeks. He is now a mere 300 points behind current World #1 Roger Federer of Switzerland, who has held that position since February 2, 2004. Depending on the results at this week's ATP Masters Series event Cincinnati Nadal could become World #1 by next week.

Craig Hickman in his review of Wimbledon called the Kieran Slam Awards has said that Nicolas Kiefer has "the biggest basket on the ATP". on th basis of these pictures from Kiefer's match against Rafael Nadal in the 3rd round of Wimbledon.

Mad Professah doesn't disagree, but would like to hear from others, who do you think "shows the most" of male tennis players? I would nominate Marcos Baghdatis and Roger Federer for contenders but can't really think of any others. What say you? Who has the Biggest Basket in Men's Tennis?
