Well Federer DIDN'T win and looked tired in the 5th set...so what is your point? Dopeovic is a way more obvious doping candidate than Federer is.

If Djokovic wins 1 FO and 1 more USO, he will have exactly the same GS record as Agassi.

Give Murray some credit, he played great! Federer won two close sets, Murray was much more convincing

Djokodal Fan · 02-07-2013, 01:43 PM

one more thread with Fed fans and their diarrhea about Doping.

Fed is just not good enough to beat Murray. Period. Deal with it!!

Djokovic is AO2013 champion. Deal with that as well!!

Murray did play very well, I was impressed by his aggressive ball striking. But Federer wasn't moving that well out there and IMO there's a good chance there could have been a different result if they had had equally easy/tough draws.

Doperer lasted 5 sets because he obviously doped to last that long. Otherwise Murray would have beaten him in 3 sets!

Long live Pederer

Federer in his prime never used to look tired after 5 setters, yet he didnt have to live with doping claims.

I think Agassi would struggle in this era, the same way Djokovic and Murray would in his era, the game is just too different. Although saying that he probably would be top 5 and a have a few slams just not as great as his actual career.

Personally, I can't see him getting past #4 in the world. The current top three (and Nadal, if he can be counted) seem like they've taken tennis to an entirely new level. Even though someone like Murray is definitely not a greater player than Agassi in that he's less accomplished, I think his level of tennis right now is better than anything Agassi could achieve.

What do you guys think?

I think he'd have a real hard time with the top 4. He had said there was no way he could have beat Federer, and said "there is no where to go with Federer, no opening or weakness", with the Gazelle type play and return of the other 3 guys, could it be "He had no where to go" as well?

Agassi was great, I think being able to play so close to a prime Fed I'd favor him over the other 3, but we are splitting hairs.

fed is a terrible match up for agassi. he's just too good at dictating play and breaking up agassi's rhythm. I think that peak agassi would beat pusher murray more often than not and win against joker often as well.

why would you need Clarky to use that name? Don't you have your own ID to use? Who is preventing you or any other Pederer fans from doing so?

90's Clay · 02-07-2013, 03:13 PM

Prime Agassi (92-95, 99-01).. #1 or #2 right now.. Easily. Hes a better all hardcourter then anyone else on tour today between the USO and AO. And is just as good as anyone on grass right now (aside from Federer and perhaps a healthy Nadal), and would be a top player on clay and indoors

TMF · 02-07-2013, 03:16 PM

#4 behind Nole, Federer, Murray. He's ahead of Nadal only because Nadal lost alot of points since Wimbledon.

PseudoFed · 02-07-2013, 03:20 PM

He will be #2 since I give him my permissions to be so. He is welcome.

90's Clay · 02-07-2013, 03:26 PM

Agassi would be even more successful in this era then he was in the 90s-00s since there would be no fast courts

Probably 10-11 slams at least..

NLBwell · 02-07-2013, 03:32 PM

1,2,3, or 4.
Depends on who is healthiest or on a hot streak (like Djoker in 2011). The best of any era are a different level than all the other guys.
