As a junior he was a psychopat and hated throughout Sweden, but the last year has been a totally different Soderling, he even managed to charm the crowd in Paris, not an easy thing.

Good one:) escaping the country...No,that would be for tax-reasons. The Swedish IRS would skin him for every dime if he would have chosen to live here. Sweden is a great country but the taxes are just ****ed up!

3. "I feel bad for Sampras because he's never going to make it as a pro"

4. "He really does say some funny things at the wrong time. We are out there busting our guts and he doesn't show a lot of respect at the end of the day. He tries to play down the reason why he lost, giving no respect to the other player, and that is what really upsets me about him and the reason I try to [anger him] as much as I can."

You want to talk arrogance..

Was there ever anyone more arrogant than Ali?

I'll put Tyson circa 86-87 before his mentor died up against Ali any day.. And certainly have more than just a "mark" on the face

Ha...

Tyson was a guy who, if he landed one big punch, can knock you out. Does Buster Douglas ring a bell? If a fighter could get Tyson past the 4th round then Tyson wasn't as dominant. This is what Ali thrived on. A young Ali would dance around Tyson and jab him to death. You forget that Tyson and Frazier have such similar styles it's pretty scary (except Frazier could go the distance...). Ali, after not being able to box for 2 years during his prime, came back and took Fraziers best punch (monster left hook) right in the jaw and got up within 2 seconds. IF, that's a big IF, Tyson ever lands his best punch on Ali, Ali would get up and dance for 6 rounds until Tyson got tired and knock him the **** out.

Talk about an arrogant player, that Pete "Serena" Sampras. How fitting that his record be broken by the most humble, classiest player of all time!

It Tyson catches Ali with a big punch in the first 3-4 rounds.. Sorry but Ali ain t getting up.


I think youre forgetting just how deadly Mike Was when his mentor Cus D'Amato was still alive. Tyson in 89 was out of shape and had no focus.. Im talking Tyson 86-88 here the machine

george foreman had comparable power to tyson, and was almost as dominant in his prime (tyson NEVER beat somebody like frazier, foreman did so CONVINCINGLY), and we saw what ali did to him.

sorry, but nobody licks ali in his prime. that includes tyson at his best.

Heres a new set for you all

1. In the third I had anopportunity and I got really tight, and I pretty much gave it to her. It was like, Here, you know, do you want togo to the semis? Because I don't. She was like, Okay. (laughter.)

2. After the first set, I felt really dizzy, and I thought that I was just gonna end up in the hospital. I started to shake. I was losing my ‑ how you say ‑ consciousness. I don't know. It's as well some woman problems, as well. It's not easy being a woman, you know, sometimes. All these things happen. What can I do? I tried my best.

3. Medical timeout is there because physiotherapist are there and doctors are there to help you out. This is what I did. I just took the medicals to help me out.

Maybe the people think that I'm exaggerating with these things, but it's just ‑‑ it's nothing bad, nothing negative, because I just ‑‑ I twist my ankle, I feel bad, you know. I get the pain in the back.

Safin is correct. It was his answer when he was asked if both his mother and sister were with him. The others are incorrect (nice try on Verdasco though).

These still stand:
