    coolest looking form?

    Too easy. Federer and Ferrero. Every single stroke, every little step looks stylish and smooth. Even when they mess up they manage to make it look good.

    Grass Court Tennis

    Anyone starting to think the current grass produces more spectacular points and powerful rallies than clay courts? I've been noticing this the past couple of years. I used to think clay was the most exciting surface not too long ago, but now it's just a snooze fest. I rarely see a good...

    Djokovic becoming the new Safin?

    Seriously, what the hell is so special about Novak's game? A few years ago we had three guys at the top who played the same exact type of tennis except with better movement: Agassi, Ferrero, Safin.

    The only way to beat Nadal, beat him at his own game

    Bring him up to the net. Every single point. It doesn't matter if it doesn't look good. That's the only chance. It doesn't matter if you hit hard or s/v. As long as you allow Nadal to stay in the back court, you're not going to beat him.

    when was the last time that defending champion

    The closest I can remember is JCF losing in the second round in 2004.

    " But believing is not enough, you still have to beat me"

    This quote would sound badass if Roger weren't losing so much this year. He's only won one tournament and it wasn't even a masters. Obviously players not only believe they can beat him, they ARE beating him. The guy lost Roddick and Mardy Fish ffs.

    Who hits the cleanest balls?

    If you want to know what clean ball striking is, study the 2004 AO SF between AA and Safin. And then watch Safin's AO 2005 run. Actually you don't even need to watch; just listen to the sound.

    best forehand before Fed's dominance?

    Ferrero and Agassi without a doubt. Only guys I've seen who can consistently duel with Federer on the forehand side. Absolutely no fear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdI-J8_Xhdg

    Chris Fowler=Idiot tennis commentator

    Fowler is a cool guy. He does his job well, and like someone said, he's supposed to be the host, not necessarily the commentator. That's what the second guy is there for. Fowler and Cahill make a good team. I used to like Drysdale for this reason, but he's starting to get stale. Pmac is...

    Forehand: Ferrero vs Blake

    Ferrero. Just the more versatile and consistent shot and has plenty of power when he needs it. And he hits it so effortlessly and smooth. I think that's why JCF's forehand used to be the most popular a few a years ago; it's such a sweet looking shot. Just watching him hit will instantly...

    Nadal's schedule

    Yes. Nadal will announce his retirement from pro tennis at this year's wimbledon.

    Why isn't Ferrero playing Davis Cup?

    He's already won two (and helped the team to the final in 03), he's had plenty of solid match play this year already, and is playing the European tournaments in the following weeks. There's no reason for him to play this first tie. And it's Peru. The Spanish captains can probably win this tie...

    hewitt Fed- us open final 2004 Fed is amazing!

    Best match I've ever seen FED play. Hewitt was on fire coming in to that tournament, barely losing sets all summer long. Only to get bageled twice within 2 hours.

    Wow, how it's changed!

    I agree that Federer of 2003-04 was more fun to watch. Pure offense. Nowadays he just plays some ballet tennis from the back of the court while waiting for the errors. And holy **** at that last forehand. Godlike.

    How come all the pros seem to hit that between-the-legs shot pretty good.

    JCF could hit screaming WINNERS with this shot. He did a few times at the US Open a few years ago.

    ATP Rankings updated before the AO quarter finals

    JCF back in the top 15!! And he's less than 200 points away from the top ten! And the year has just begun! GO FERRERO!!!

    Is J C Ferrero making a comeback?

    That was the secret to his success in 2003. Most underrated part of his game.

    Is J C Ferrero making a comeback?

    As good as JCF was against Nalby, he was still holding back his speed a little bit. It would make no sense to go all out against a sleepy Nalbandian. He was playing very much like his old school self in the previous rounds so Ferrer is going to have his work cut out for him. And about...

    Safin-Baggy Hewitt-Baggy Fed-Tipsy And there is STILL one more 3rd round matche that can end up as a classic.

    What happened to the OOP

    Good. That match NEEDS to be on RLA or Vodafone. And now I'll actually have a chance to watch it, unless they schedule it at night again.

    Lost respect for Roddick

    Safin almost always directs his anger at himself. Never to the opponent or the crowd. Only very rarely does he lash out at the umpire. Big difference. It seems that whenever Andy is losing a big match he just looks for some stupid reason to lash out at the umpire like a juvenile brat. I...

    Kuerten and Nadal, who is better?

    I understood him perfectly. Maybe not the best grammar, but understandable. Is something wrong with you?
