Date: July 2nd, 2018 12:18 PM Author: Walnut 180 Cruise Ship was becker seeded at wimbledon in 85? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36350015) |

Date: July 2nd, 2018 12:30 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle federal bawdyhouse becker 85 and goran 01 were both unseeded (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36350074) |

Date: July 2nd, 2018 12:32 PM Author: Walnut 180 Cruise Ship what about sampras at the us open? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36350088) |
|
Date: July 2nd, 2018 12:33 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle federal bawdyhouse he was the "17 seed" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36350092) |

Date: July 2nd, 2018 12:35 PM Author: Walnut 180 Cruise Ship 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: Razzle-dazzle federal bawdyhouse 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: Walnut 180 Cruise Ship 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: Walnut 180 Cruise Ship 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 2nd, 2018 12:48 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle federal bawdyhouse see above (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36350179) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2018 2:49 PM Author: Mahogany Temple 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: Sticky locale 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: Mahogany Temple 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: Sticky locale 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: Mahogany Temple 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: Sticky locale 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: Mahogany Temple 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: Sticky locale 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: Mahogany Temple 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: Sticky locale truest test (of shittiness) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36466595) |

Date: July 20th, 2018 3:07 PM Author: Mahogany Temple tbf his SF and F opponents combined for 2 RG, 3 W, and 4 USO (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4015977&forum_id=2#36466606) |
|
Date: July 20th, 2018 3:08 PM Author: Sticky locale 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: Mahogany Temple 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: Sticky locale 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. |
