I'm a Rafa fan and while I don't think his entire career is as great as Fed or Djoker's (esp Novak's), I do think that Peak Rafa > Peak Fed > Peak Djoker. I think his style of play and tenacity has made him more inconsistent/injury prone throughout his career, but I'd still pick Rafa at his best...

Has to be 2008 or 2009. Unless you're a die-hard Federer fan that loved watching him churn through a bunch of scrubs from 2004-2007 and rack up slams, those two years were the peak of the Fed-Nadal rivalry in my book.

Are Emma and Leylah actually the heights they're listed at? Both look tiny. Leylah definitely doesn't look 5'6

Congrats to Novak! I'm a Rafa fan, but to me, Novak is already the GOAT even if he somehow doesn't make the 20 club. I think he has the best resume in terms of well-roundedness on surface, H2H versus main rivals, and, has also beaten Nadal at RG twice. I think this slam win is his most...

Damn, I'm a Rafa fan but congrats to Novak! I think he has a great case to be the GOAT at this point when he reaches 20 (notice I never said "if"). He's now solved the case of a Nadal at Roland Garros twice, has a better well-rounded resume slam-wise, and an excellent H2H against his two major...

I'm guessing you're referring to "The Social Dilemma". I thought it was a great doc, but I didn't for a second believe what that guy said about being unable to foresee the consequences of the like button. There were already discussions about how people were depressed when others wouldn't comment...

How would this racket compare to the Wilson Ultra 97 in terms of feel? I didn't like the feel of the Wilson Ultra vs the Head, but this pro staff seems to have similar specs to the radical. Does the pro staff have more control, typically, than a radical racket...

It seems like the Prestige Pro might be the way to go. If I liked the radical but found it way too powerful and slightly stiff, is the prestige the way to go? How maneuverable is it compared to the radical? Also, where did you go to find a deal on the prestige? It seems like the radical is on...

Hi Everyone, I demoed a few rackets over the weekend and am having trouble finding frames to look at. I tried the Wilson Ultra 97, Head Radical IG Pro, Babolat Pure Drive Tour, and Babolat Aero. I hated the Babolats instantly because of their feel and lack of control. People claimed the Aero...

I usually like 95-98 inch head sizes. Weight is whatever, as long as it's maneuverable. I'm probably not good enough to handle the heaviest sticks in the world, but I'm also more than capable of handling players frames upwards of of 11.5 oz or thereabout. I can typically generate my own pace and...

Hi Everyone, I've been out of the racket game for a while now and need a new stick. I'm a pretty aggressive baseliner that likes to win or lose (usually lose in my case :D) on my own racket and dictate points. I'm also not afraid to come into the net when it makes sense to finish off points...

???????????

Damn, anyone else going crazy looking at Simona's legs in those super short, right shorts? She's going to make her husband a very happy man someday.

Uhh, what? I work in one of those fields, and I'm pretty sure that all require a masters, which in turn requires an undergraduate degree to get anywhere in. Good luck becoming a JD, CPA or getting into business school without a college education.

Call me crazy, but I kinda like Woz better. Way more feminine body IMO. Ditto for Genie in the post below

What is everyone's thoughts on Mugu? She seems to be having a solid year with good results. However, is she going to be this year's Halep/Bouchard who does well but fizzles out shortly after people place higher expectations on her shoulders, or could she be the torch bearer for the next gen?

I feel like this thread is seriously lacking Garbine. I can't be the only one who thinks she's a cutie, can I?

One of the really good filipino boxers and athletes along Ali, Tyson and Floyd Mayweather the best since1965. .excluding of course the humanly unreachable Foreman why is he that fairly talken of?

Lol at all the people saying or implying that Nadal and freaking Andy Murray are too muscular/bulky. These cats are tremendous athletes in their own right, but I would wager that at least 75% of HIGH SCHOOL running backs who'll never play college ball are bigger and stronger than both of them...

So we're just going to ignore that he had that HUGE 2 pt conversion, a perfectly placed GAME-WINNER after starting from his 10, that 2 picks weren't really his fault, and that he had the highest QB rating in postseason history prior to this game? Sure he was off, but give credit where it's due.

It must be teh sterons/PEDs/MTOs, amirite? If Federer loses then everyone else must have cheated. Its the only explanation possible. Forget about diet and training. It's cheating or teh anti-tennis from polyester strings and open string patterns. Thanks Obama

But again, if he only cares about having fun, why is he breaking down to the point of crying? By definition, he cares a lot about the outcome if he had that during of an emotional response to the match. Rafa and Djokovic are humans too but I've never seen them cry after a loss no matter how...

I find it so hard to believe that he was just playing for fun given that he turned on the waterworks yet again. If he really were just playing for fun (aka not worrying too much about the result), there would be absolutely no reason to cry after extending a match that should have been a straight...

Let me guess, you think TMZ, the Star, The Enquirer, etc. are all credible sources for news, am I right?

I hate Federer but to say that he fails to win epic matches is rather silly. A 17 time slam champion cannot be hailed a choker and there have been numerous moments where he has pulled out wins (09 vs Roddick comes to mind). It's more unfortunate for him that lots of the epic ones have come...

Lol, I love how you quoted the part of my post that wasn't unnecessary/hateful to make your point. The OP claims that the rivalry is unfair because Roger has made it to the French Open "like 5 times" while Rafa "can't proceed" (despite laughably having the same number of finals appearances in...

LMAO. Now that the initial sadness of defeat is over, the anger/excuses will come rolling in. Federer stans are too predictable.

Oh man, Roger cries again! Someone please gif that slow motion of tears rolling down his face. In before butthurt Fed stans who'll claim he's classy unlike me lolol.

2010 Rafa would have won by now against both of them Aussie Doubles style even if Novak/Fed could use the alleys.

Nadal has made 3 Wimbledon finals facing Federer and 5 Wimbledon finals total. Unlike Fed, Nadal has actually found a way to beat "the king" on his worst surface while the mental midget hasn't. Hell, Roger should thank Soderling for having the match of his life. If it weren't for him, he...
