certainly not very fast for 100m. High 11's at the best I'd think.

Very hard to predict beyond that. They're probably fit enough aerobically to run in the region of 34 or 35 minutes for 10k

That's too generous for 10k. I ran a 4:34 1600m off of tennis training as a 19-year-old and apparently a bit of running talent, but no way could I have run 35 minutes for 10k. It wouldn't surprise me if a fair number of ATP pros could crack 5:00 for a mile, but once you start getting beyond that most of them don't have distance running endurance.

Maybe some of them could run high 11s, but most would be mid 12-13.x.

This would never happen, not going to speculate.

Got a great article about Federer's fitness, it says he could run 3300 meters in 12 minutes, and 9300 meters in 40 minutes.

yeah its great, get to know a lot about federers fitness

Played competitive junior tennis and played D2 collegiate tennis.

Don't know a single guy who I thought could run sub 40 10k. We could all kick a$$ in the shuttle run though.

100m - 11.0 to 13.3

200m - 22.5 to 27.5

400m - 51.0 to 59.0

800m - 1:58 to 2:22

1 mile - 4:30 to 5:45

5k - 15:45 to 20:00

10k - 34:00 to 43:00

I'd lean heavily toward the high side on all of the above

yeah, definitely agree.

I'm an ex D1 college tennis player and when I was playing competitive tennis I could not break 6 minutes in the mile (OK I never trained for it) and ran a 6'02. I know some of my teammates could run around 5'30 and I know some tennis players from other teams who could break 5. Roger Federer is surely more of a gifted physical specimen than most D1 college players so I'd say he could run in the 4'30-4'45 range, same for Nadal and Murray (whom did a lot of track workouts a few years ago but stopped because he was getting injured.) As far as raw speed, I bet Gael Monfils could crack 11 seconds in the 100 meters. Nadal would probably be around 11'30, Fed 11'50, same for Murray and Djoko.

Check the link, i doubt if Federer could break 5 for the mile.

He can not break 40 for the 10k, the article says he could run 9.3 km in 41 minutes.

True

Quite funny answers:) I think it is because for players every second is important, so they use all necessary possibilities. I like tennis and often play this game. By the way if you also like tennis and follow different championships, I can recommend to use this site https://sportstennisbet.com/ to check scores and odds, very comfortable!

How dumb is everyone? Federer trains doing sprints but he also trains doing long distance runs. There's not many sports where someone would do this. His 40 minute time for 9300 meters is a training time. No reason he can't sharpen up for a 10k and run 31 minutes. Likewise, he could likely run a 11-11.5 100 meters. I have seen him train in the sprints. I don't know if there are any athletes with this combination of talent. And he isn't he most in-shape tennis player either.

This guy above ran >6 minutes as a d1 tennis player?? How effin bad are you and the people you know? I play club tennis and run 4:51 at 33 years old. My guess is that you have never played tennis.
