Flash in the pan in terms of winning a big WPA or WNT event, or getting to the finals of one. Raga has also had several quarterfinal...

Nothing has happened. Raga is still a very good player. High 800-plus Fargo. He does not travel as much as other Pinoys, however. Still...

I agree, and I really like your choice to call his play tidy, because that describes it. He's not flashy like a Filler or a Pagulayan...

Yes, he was. Kazakis is still a great player, though. I had him at 21. He got married a few years ago and had kids, so hasn't played...

My last list. Who are the emerging young stars in the game? I am unaware of generational talent like Filler or Gorst coming up through...

I've watched almost every match he's played in the past year when it was available. What you saw is real. Every facet of his game is...

I watched Filler's run, sjm, and it was very impressive. No disputing that. I still think the sets format favors Filler more than a...

It's close, but you are probably right. Shaw finished third at the Philippines Open, 5th in the UK Open and 9-16 in the European Open...

You make a good case for Filler. I myself discount mixed or doubles events and one pocket too. Limited fields, for one thing, and I want...

If we went by Fargo, but only included recent regulars on the WPA or WNT tours, the rankings would look like this: Joshua Filler 861...
