If you go back to other eras there was more variety but less power all the way around. So it works both ways. If you'd put Federer/Roddick/Safin into the era of McEnroe and Connors.....I doubt...

That's right. They don't care what the fans want. I believe that big sports agencies pay them to play the matches of their clients. We have to just hope for crumbs from the table.
