Oh my dear god in heaven. Is this argument still going on.

Nadal has 5000 points to defend (or win depending on how you want to word it, this isn't the place for that argument) with the clay season coming up. It's very unlikely he will sweep the season again. I think he will make great showings in all the events. I think he'll win one Masters...

Woah. Well, knowing that, uhh...well...nevermind. Delete thread. Although I do appreciate the info.

Being that my other Serena thread got heated up and seemed to get off track at points, I am wondering, on a scale of 1-10 where this particular accomplishment ranks, generally. She is the only player I know of that has won all four singles slams in a row - '02 FO to '03 AO- and all four doubles...

Did anyone happen to see Hewitt's around the post shot? It was in the second set, Hewitt was serving at 1-2 and first point of the fourth game. It was pretty sweet.

Why is it that whenever someone decides to make some conversation, retards like you need to show up and talk ****. Nobody was throwing insults except you. Why don't you and your ilk stay off the computer.

Nice stats TMF. Although you seemed to over look something. Court has 24 slams to Grafs 22. You have listed at 11, yet you also put Court at 12 consectutive titles.?. She has 11 AO titles if thats what you may have been thinking about while typing. She also has 62 total slam titles. She...

I was trying to explain the difference to a non-tennis, yet sports oriented friend. We are both avid fisherman as well. This was the best analogy I could come up with to define Fed and Nadal in fishing terms. Of course there is always the gratuitous Murray. Nadal: Like a tuna fisherman...

Serena may very well be in company with the greatest players of all time. I don't understand why she isn't respected more on this board. Now, I haven't done the appropriate legwork, but she is the only player I know that has won the 4 singles slams in a row -'02 FO to '03 AO- and also won 4...

I was just looking at their doubles performance and saw that they have won the last 4 majors in a row. 2009 Wimby and US Open, and 2010 AO and FO. I haven't seen anyone make a mention of this. That's pretty damn great. With all the talk of career and calendar slams, I thought this should get...

Well, being that the world #1 just had to play 2-5setters, and come back from 2 sets to 1 in both also against much lower ranked guys. I don't think it will be as much of a proposition as you think. Not dropping a set or even a service game through 3 rounds is pretty awesome, no matter who you...

This guy is really playing like a champion. He's won every match in straight sets. He beat Ginepri 6-2 6-2 6-3, Granollers 7-5 6-1 6-4, and Bellucci 6-4 6-2 7-5. Next is Ferrer who just finished a 5 setter, so I don't think he has a chance. If he keeps playing like this, he can cruise to the...

I think its gonna be a Federer-Soderling Final. The way Nadal is playing the last 2 rounds, Soderling will whoop on him. Murray won't be a challenge. Fed's only worrisome match is Djokovic. Fed over Soderling in 4.

Not even close. He just played back to back 5 setters, and had to come back from 2 sets to 1 in both. Best form ever? Not a chance. If he faces Soderling, and plays like that, he's finished. Soderling, if anyone, is playing at his best form ever.

Nadal is still embarrassed about the defeat of the Spanish Armada to the British.

Dude, pull my finger!!

And yes you people do make things complicated. But the thing was if Murray is English, which he is not.

Ireland is part of Great Britain, and they are citizens. For that much, Canada and Australia are still, technically, part of the British Empire, thats why their money has the Queen of England on it. But, Canadians and Australians are not citizens of Britain even though their part of the empire.

Murray is British and Scottish. He isn't English. Great Britain is 4 countries. England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland. Each has its own flag too. Then there is the flag of Great Britain that we are all familiar with. You can see this in the World Cup. There is no Great Britain Team. But...

Jordan: 6'6" 215 lbs. Lebron: 6'8" 250 lbs. Kobe: 6'6" 205 lbs. Wilt: 7'1" 275 lbs.

The Federer compared to the Legends is pretty cool.

The great one's doing what they do best. Federer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DclGtUBxju8 Nadal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f81A4KVGylI&feature=related Sampras: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW2tyIHd6mc Agassi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfSq0MT7K5Q&feature=related...

God, Kirilenko is hot. Soderling reminds me of a suburban Eminem.

I reconsider my vote. It's either Jim Thorpe or John Holmes.

True. Hockey is way too diluted. It all started when hockey tried to really expand out of Canada and northern US with the trade of Gretzky to LA. Never should've happened. Now the talent and popularity can't keep up with 32 teams.

1: I said Scotty Bowman said he was better, but the hockey pro's collectively consider Gretzky the best. One mans thoughts don't trump the collective. 2: Marciano was 49-0 as a pro. But, Larry Holmes was 48-0 when he lost his first fight. My point is how much more dominant he was...

Name any sport. Hockey, football, soccer, baseball, tennis, basketball, whack-a-mole, whatever you want. Then name the greatest athletes of those sports. Not one of them dominated their repective sport as dominant as Gretzky did to hockey. Look at any position specific or whatever you want...

Howe to Gretzky close? Gretz has over 1200 more career pts to Howe's 2010 total. Gretzky 1963 reg assists to Howe's 1850 reg total pts. No to mention Gretzky played 21 years to Howe's 26. And no, it isn't who scores the most is best. Mario Lemieux is widely considered by hockey pro's as the...

Ger rid of the tour finals and have 12 MS 1000 events on 4 different surfaces. Then you could have a slam per quarter on each surface. Then player could play for the sweep, ala, Nadal this year with 3 clay MS and the FO. Year end champ would be who ever earned the most points in the year...

K: Hey, Fed, what's with the guy behind us resting his junk on the railing? F: I don't know, but what's with the fatty taking our photo?
