In fact Joe's book was the first to give a good view over the whole pro's history. Many posters here haver been influenced by it. |

the question isn't about Trengove's articles/tennis journalism. It is about this article, which is plainly poor and badly researched ...... as many have pointed out with various points, including me ......

Bobby One, i didn't know, that Trengove was critical on McCauley's book. The book is imo the most important contribution to tennis in the last 15 years.

The writer is from Australia so it's clear that he's biased toward Laver. Few years ago Peter Bodo admitted that he was biased toward Sampras when comparing as to who's the greatest. These writers are biased toward their countryman. If you want a writer to provide objective assessment between Federer and Laver, Steve Flink is a good example.

By the way, I originally wanted to publish a book on pros' history and discussed the issue with Joe. But I quickly realized that Joe is the better man to write and publish such a book for several reasons: Joe was the better writer than me, he kept much more results than I did and, last not least, he had more money to publish the book. Maybe Andrew Tas can publish a book with additional information one day... Last edited by BobbyOne : 10-10-2012 at 10:20 AM. |

Laver dominated 5 or 6 yrs in a row from 64 to 70 although I would say in 70 it is too close and that surpasses Federer who dominated 2003-2007 I feel so bad for Fed being so unrespectfully owned by Nadal that I rise him to second tier, don' t ask me for more generousity About Kodes, do you know how Napoleon chose his generals?

When shall we stablish a ponderating factor for titles so that we convert them all into " the same currency" to so say it?
It will be a very very hard battle between the two kind of segments we have here in TT, but it will be really passionating....
