Obviously where the bandage is wrapped around her leg doesn't allow the shorts to bunch on the left side!
Ivanisevic's mentality let him down a lot though. He had the tools (never denied that) but he didn't have the mindset any other year besides 2001.
Sampras would get toasted by Hewitt in 04 and 05
I love Fedovic debates...I hate Federer and Sampras debates because those are two of my 3 most favorite players

There's no bunch. Something she designed herself.Obviously where the bandage is wrapped around her leg doesn't allow the shorts to bunch on the left side!
she won injured like a boss Wimby 07 was going on when I joined. Good Times.
As far as I know she can knight overseas individuals, only they will not be styled as "Sir/Lady" (e.g. Norman Schwartzkopf, Bob Geldof).She can only knight Brits!
Sorry that doesn't make any sense. Are you saying that in 2008, 2014 and 2015 that if Federer had lost rounds earlier that would have been a superior performance than him making the final? (Then he would have preserved his 100% final record). You must have been sarcastic - because finishing in the 4th round is not superior to making the final - or is it? You will have to explain that to me.
Fed's still undefeated in Wimbledon semifinals. Something you cannot say about Sampras. Oh well.
I just gave you an example of how arbitrary these statistics can be.It is better to lose in the semi-final than the final. One game less to worry about, one game less to damage your confidence as a choker
I think:
The AO Cup should be renamed: The Djokovic Cup.
The RG Cup should be renamed: Le Coupe Nadal.
The Wimbledon Cup should be renamed: The Renshaw Cup ( Willie Renshaw was the first one to win it 7 times)
The USO Cup should be renamed: The Sears Cup (Richard Sears was the first one to win it 7 times).
So that settles it!

Roddick 2009?
Sampras did not really have a tough final vs an all time great either.
Djokovic? I know it was not a final, but he did beat Djokovic on his way to winning Wimb 2012 with Nole being the defending champion at that time.
You've descended into nonsense now unfortunately
Did Sampras have a rival like Nadal or Djokovic? Agassi was a 3 time winner until 99 and didn't meet Sampras for years in a major, hell he spent as much time outside the top 10 as he did at #2. He never had a younger ATG chasing him and improving. The generation after him was Henman and Moya. Between Sampras and Federer there was only Ivanisevic and Hewitt at Wimbledon. However Roger did knock out defending champion Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001 and beat Hewitt twice at Wimbledon in 04 and 05.
Just that the younger player still needs to believe he can beat the older guy, ignoring his reputation. In 93, Sampras had been slamless for a while with not too stellar a Wimbledon record so props for that. I do like the 2007 Nadal win but in that instance too Fed was still frontrunning, still believed he was king of Wimbledon. After the 2008 loss, his attitude to Nadal matches changed. Against Nole, his arrogant lack of respect for him up to 2012 helped him in a way because he seemed to believe he was still the better player. Once he started respecting him too much, it seems he has conceded the edge to Nole. Yes, there is the age disadvantage but 2014 W was winnable from the position he got into in the fifth. Nole wasn't playing great in large patches of 2015 USO either, Fed just let him off the hook. Yes, overall there's no doubt Fed has had tougher competition but more so in his later career and the early part of his prime didn't help him in handling the onslaught of tougher competition. Sampras had it tough in the beginning and much easier in the latter half.
