Well he does add in Roger Federer at the end. "I still stand by my statement that he's the greatest ever, but I never thought he would lose....AND Roger Federer!" Something to that effect. I think he's putting Roger and Rafa up as the two greatest side by side.

I believe this is what he was referring to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrCZ6FiPfG4&feature=g-all-c

I would agree with that.

Although he was a big fan of Sampras, Federer has always maintained that Becker and Edberg were his idols growing up. Also, I hope I can find the interview somewhere but he was asked specifically about Sampras being his idol and Roger said (I'm paraphrasing here), "Actually growing up I was a...

Did Fed run over your dog or something?

Well he didn't make the semis of FO 2004, so that explains how Wimby 2004 was the start of his streak.

You're right...I guess I was put off by some peoples' experiences with the hybrid...I really don't need to to restring often.

That actually makes a lot of sense..thanks. I keep hearing VS team/SS is the best gut/poly combo and that I should have the tension of the mains a few lbs higher?? What do you recommend for a k90? My cousin got one and it looks like a really good investment. Unfortunately, I'm in dental school...

I played a 4.0 league a few years back (6-2 record) after the pro rated me as such. A lot better now, so probably a higher end 4.0. 1hbh, semi-western fh, put lots of spin, and slice the backhand a ton. I would say I probably play a lot like Ferrer, but I tend to go for my fh's a bit (not so...

So I've been using poly for a while now, and my strings break usually every few months (playing once a week essentially). Clearly, I've been doing it wrong after reading about the longevity of poly string. So I've been reading the forums and it seems a gut/poly hybrid is all the rage these...

Easy tiger. I never said Joker dominated him that match, but had him on a string. What I am referring to is essentially how each point played out. While both players were running a ton, it seemed as though Joker was making Rafa run even more than him. And I agree that in every match prior to...

The reason he was struggling so much was because Joker had him on a string. Have you ever seen Rafa run so much? My point wasn't that Rafa didn't look tired, it's that the reason he was tired was because Joker was toying with him and moving him side to side and not so much from a "heat stroke".

I stopped reading after he implied that he lost Miami because of a heat stroke, and lost the US Open because his hamstring was hurting from when he played Nalbandian.

Umm..that's not why Ali threw his gold medal into the Ohio river ha. He threw it because he was refused service at a "whites only" restaurant despite winning a gold medal for his country.

Anyone mind summarizing the trophy presentation/interviews??

He said McEnroe went 84-3 in 1984 though...

From what either Cahill or Pat Mac said earlier this year. Rebound Ace had the same bounce, but it was a better court for flat shots. If you hit flat shots on RA, they really skid and went through the court. That type of shot no longer works at the AO.

This match is just as weird as the Fed match.

Rogeal Fedal

hahaha loved it

I am a Fed fan that has no hate for Rafa, but this sig is just one of FBC's gems that I had to share. I wished Rafa luck and he was polite enough to say thank you!

At least his fingers were good enough to give me his autograph today :twisted:

Jason Goodall said that the courts are quicker than last year, but then clarified saying that they are not quick compared to the rest of the tour.

Rafa and Fed may be able to play at the same level, but Fed sits at that level comfortably where as Nadal must overcome his limits to maintain that level. This leads to certain injuries...

Woody Harrelson is deceptively fast

Has anyone noticed that Rafa only really volleys when the volleys are putaways??? How often have you seen him dig or lunge for a volley. The reason his percentage is high isn't because he is a great volleyer, it's because he is a smart volleyer.

Lol what? Kobe wasn't even a starter when Shaq joined the lakers and had already won 3 rings and was out of his prime when he joined D wade (who was only in his third year...).

According to this article it is. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/news/story?page=macgregor%2F110606
