    Should only Championships Justify Endorsements?

    I will openly admit that had Anna Kornikova won some majors or any title for that matter, it would have softened the insult to those who were winning and not getting the kinds of endorsements she got simply because someone deemed her looks nice enough to represent the Tennis World and sell some...

    The GOAT..and your definition of it.

    Well Come on Urban, after I read your Post, you had me and then I wondered what's your point here. Good stuff however in terms of Tennis History. I went to lunch today with my wife and were discussing Great Guitar Players given I'm a experienced study of the Instrument. I mentioned to her...

    The GOAT..and your definition of it.

    Saram ~ I have participated on a number of Tennis Forums probably since their inception and of course numerous discussions on the GOAT and NONE have ever been decided to date. This is the first time in my association of Tennis, that I have not only read & verbally discussed a particular...

    Should Serena's Greatness be Reconsidered?

    I tend to agree with Moose Man on this topic. This is NOT to say Jennifer Capriati should be mentioned within the conversations of the GOAT but I (at least for one) was Xtremely impressed by her comeback winning the Australian Open & French Open back-to-back at a time everyone including the...

    Greatest single achievement (male)

    Yeah of course bcuz do you really think there's going 2B some conclusive conclusion to this question? Might as well talk about what impressed me the most. Oh Yeah and I almost forgot, humbling himself to a point where he played the Challenger Circuit, dropping to #141 in the World, shaking off...

    Greatest single achievement (male)

    Agassi Slam w/ Gold Medal & Marrying Steffi Graf & fathering two beautiful Kids & creating an environment for under privilege children to advance & growing into a well rounded individual. That's my Vote

    Men V Women

    Well let's think about this question. Justine right now is what I believe the pound for pound best female Player in the World. For her size, there's really no one able to hit her off the court and that includes both Williams' sisters, Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic. And Justine...

    Which player first got you interested in the game?

    Ivan Lendl during the 1984 Super Saturday USO against Pat Cash.

    Davydenko: Federer was lucky?

    Amazing but sometimes it sounds as if we forget what it's like to play this game. There many occasions of luck within a Tennis Match, like at Wimbledon when Nadal could have broken Fed and slipped on the grass just enough for the ball to get by him. Just think had he not slipped, maybe it would...

    Counting Maria Supporters / Maria Sharapova

    Actually, on a serious note, Maria reminds me of Monica Seles in terms of never giving up. Noone can say this girl isn't a fighter and really that's all we can hope for. She goes out with a serious game face (maybe a tad too serious at times) but she plays to win and I've never heard her...

    Counting Maria Supporters / Maria Sharapova

    TP11 - You're probably not gonna like my kinda support but I do watch her because she's very nice to look at but that shrieking she does really gets to me and I find I'm usually muting the volume when she plays. Tall Blonde great legs and nice booty. What red blooded male who's not a switch...

    Does Fed really need to win RG to be GOAT......?

    Well determining the Greatest of All Times is probably the biggest issue of debate on every Tennis Forum around. Heck this one is relatively calm but some years ago, I belonged to another forum and the debate was between Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova & Margaret Court. Some threw in Mo...

    Does Fed really need to win RG to be GOAT......?

    I'm still in a holding pattern with this issue however because of this Q, I wanted to take a look at the Federer v Nadal matchups and it was interesting 2C that to date, they've played 13 times where 10 of those were in the Finals & 2 were in the Semis. But what I truly found interesting is...

    Who else thinks Arther Ashe is GOAT?

    Well there aren't too many people that have a Stadium named after them and that alone is a testament to what he contributed in his brief stay on this Planet. GOAT ? No sorry can't go there but he was as you say, a very great person with a great vision.

    Djokovic: "I can take Nadal"

    Well I don't know how many of you are or have been on the Professional's Tour but confidence is the Name of the Game. Although, it's one thing to have it and another to talk about it. I'm not so sure Novak is guilty of being overly confident just quite yet. I believe he struggles with...

    Djokovic: "I can take Nadal"

    I listened to him being interviewed several times during the Open and couldn't determine if his choice of words regarding his confidence had more to do with his lesser command of the English Language or just the fact that after kicking butt in Montreal, his head just blew up beyond repair...

    Djokovic: "I can take Nadal"

    Rafa needs to take care of his body first & foremost and not worry about the rankings. He's good enough to get right back to where he belongs. The issue is for Roger however because the last thing he wants is to meet up with Rafa in the Qtrs or Semis like when we saw the best match of the USO...

    Roddick W/O his serve

    It's cool, I've never watched Roddick live but I'll bet it's fun to see him strut around especially when he's on top. I think the problem Andy had was the way he was hyped when he first broke into the Pros. Taking over where Pete & Andre left off was the theme as I recall. Those are pretty...

    Roddick W/O his serve

    FF - I know what you meant but I asked the question because I wanted you to provide a little insight as you just did. To say "It's Different" doesn't say anything at all. I've watch many Pro matches live up close in person and of course it's different than on TV but for those who have never...

    Roddick W/O his serve

    Thanks for the link, interesting writing. Ok let me ask this Q ; Name the Primary Weapons of these guys and what they would relay upon if that weapon were diminished: Lleyton Hewitt James Blake Richard Gasquet Andy Murray Novak Djokovic Marcos Baghdatis Roddick's FH is indeed...

    Roddick W/O his serve

    First let me reiterate that I'm no Roddick Fan but this is absurd. For anyone to say Roddick would be somewhere around 50-100, 100-200 or for those who are demonstrating generosity, placing him in the Top 50 which is really a copout since Federer is in the Top 50 so what does that really mean...

    Roddick W/O his serve

    Aside from Novak Djokovic, let's not forget about Nikolay Davydenko who has been consistently climbing up the latter. It would be interesting to see them play each other since they've never met as yet in a tournament. With Nikolay in the mix, Andy is going to be #5 for awhile unless he...

    Roddick W/O his serve

    Geez man .. I'm no Roddick fan 4 sure but I gotta give him more props than that. In watching how he can hang with guys like Federer, Nadal, Gasquet, Hewitt even Haas off the ground, he's not hitting like a Top 300 to 200 Player. Andy probably wouldn't be in the Top 10 but if his 1st was...

    Roddick W/O his serve

    Then how do you explain Martina Hingis? Or a host of others that simply spin the ball into play and relay upon their ground game? Everytime a new kid comes on the block, it takes time before the rest of the field get a bead on it. What I find interesting are the number of guys able to handle...

    Roddick W/O his serve

    Well as you can see, ask a simple question and get nowhere near a simple answer. To compare other's abilities without their main weapon(s) is not the point of his question. Every individual approaches the game differently whereas some have the ability to change up if something isn't working...

    Very interesting exchange about Mirka ..

    The real intent was 2C how many of you would go bananas over this. She may have gotten heavier but she's still as hot as they come.

    Djokovic could be a future GOAT!

    I can not give enough admiration for what Novak accomplished this year and I raise my glass in his honor BUT the truth is, we have very short memories. Remember Andy Murray, Richard Gasquet, Andy Roddick, James Blake seems to me talk like this was around these guys as well How quickly he...
