Date: July 2nd, 2018 12:35 PM Author: Vibrant Center interesting. so what's your take on the best unseeded slam performance? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36350102) |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2018 12:39 PM Author: Odious cobalt theatre becker was ranked 20th and as you said, played a parade of nobodies (though Curren had beaten McEnroe and Connors back to back)
i guess i'd go with Goran (I still remember watching that tournament on TV) but Wimbledon is so weird
edit: Wilander RG 1982 was pretty good too. in the SF he won the match but demanded match point be replayed because he thought the linesmen had fucked his opponent |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2018 1:12 PM Author: Vibrant Center That's pretty classy on MW's part. I remember as a kid watching his matches and his wife seemed ridiculously hot. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36350388) |

Date: July 2nd, 2018 12:36 PM Author: Vibrant Center did becker beat anybody good in 85? didn't he play kevin curran (sp?) or some nobody in the final? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36350110) |

|
Date: July 20th, 2018 2:49 PM Author: Chrome Adventurous Base becker was ranked #20 in 85 and would have been "seeded" in the 32 seed era (which is coming to an end this year)
goran is a totally different case |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Panasonic_German_Open_%E2%80%93_Singles
dude was #150 and a qualifier and beat kafelnikov and corretja back to back to win the title. plus he beat corretja in a bo5 final, which is no fluke |
|
Date: July 20th, 2018 2:56 PM Author: Grizzly frum national idea he suggested Off the top of my head, Chris Woodruff winning the 1997 du Maurier was a pretty good showing
Beat the following:
2R: 16 seed Jan Simierink
3R: 2 seed Ivanisevic
QF: 7 seed Philippousis
SF: 4 seed Kafelnikov
F: 6 seed and reigning RG champ Kuerten (who throttled Chang in the other SF) |

Date: July 20th, 2018 2:59 PM Author: Chrome Adventurous Base woah, havent heard the name "du maurier open" in 20 yrs. totally forgot it was called that. flashbacks to childhood.
i always remember miami being "the lipton"
that's a good win for woodruff but he was only #57 at the time. |
|
Date: July 20th, 2018 3:01 PM Author: Grizzly frum national idea he suggested but he was unseeded.
i don't think we need to stretch way down to find the lowest rank -- that wasn't the question.
-----------------------------------
i still hear Cliff Drysdale pronouncing "du Maurier" in his Aussie accent |
|
Date: July 20th, 2018 3:02 PM Author: Chrome Adventurous Base true. good contender. carrataro's run was amazing not just bc of his low rank but bc it was a dream run. lulzy that the guy crashed out 1st rd at RG and was never heard from again.
ahhh summers in the 90s :( |
|
Date: July 20th, 2018 3:04 PM Author: Grizzly frum national idea he suggested yes, though his pre-semi wins while good, aren't standout imo
these are all good contenders though. i'm sure we're forgetting some good examples. |

Date: July 20th, 2018 3:05 PM Author: Chrome Adventurous Base hewitt won a 250 title in australia of some sort when ranked super fucking low, i knw. but not so impressive (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36466596) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2018 3:07 PM Author: Grizzly frum national idea he suggested no 250 can have the best unseeded performance. it has to be Masters or up (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36466612) |

Date: July 20th, 2018 3:04 PM Author: Chrome Adventurous Base btw, this is the lowest ranked guy to win a slam:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Australian_Open_%E2%80%93_Men%27s_Singles
but AO was sps then |

Date: July 20th, 2018 3:05 PM Author: Grizzly frum national idea he suggested truest test (of shittiness) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36466595) |

|
Date: July 20th, 2018 3:08 PM Author: Grizzly frum national idea he suggested so some real champions played a bit more lackadaisically at the AO?? color me shocked (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36466614) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2018 3:13 PM Author: Chrome Adventurous Base yes they got drunk the night before bc a guy on the internet 40 yrs later would say the AO is 70% the value of another slam (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36466644) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2018 3:29 PM Author: Grizzly frum national idea he suggested i'm merely the mirror, showing by reflection the true nature of the AO
it's not like i'm inconsistent with this either. Agassi is my all-time favorite, and i'm sharply critical of his record at the majors outside Oz. |
