With all due respect : It was an exciting exhibition event ...which the players really took serious and enjoyed but nevertheless it was an exhibition event. But I am afraid you just are not following the tennis scene very closely otherwise you would not make such remarks about DC.

@fedtennisphan Yes I have the nerve to make my argument (a valid one) again. I dont think I have to ask you permission. And who are you to decide who is a true Federer fan ? Only narrowminded Roger fanboys like you, have the ultimate wisdom on that topic ?? Let me enlighten you : I am a true...

Thoughts on Laver Cup ? I am a huge Federer fan but I really believe the LC is not a good idea and this for several reasons I would remind everybody here in the forum, that there exists already an exciting team-competition , called the Daviscup. A lot of top players have refused to play...

@pame I am so glad I have no clue what that means. EOC too

@prairiegirl I see your point. I fully agree that ranking points should be awarded. ITF & ATP have made an agreement about this a couple of years ago but this agreement has soon been abolished. They are just not good friends :-) Now the World Group (16 countries) in Daviscup is already an...

@pame No you are mistaken. I didn't deliberately leave that out to suit my purpose. In fact, I am only noticing it right now that I didnt copy the whole quote (you are right about that ) Anyway : my point is clear (at least to me :-) ) You are not convinced by my arguments and that is your...

@pame The remark about Barbados is a cheap one (I am sure your mother would agree) Actually I live in Belgium and I saw the Belgian team win against Australia last weekend. Belgium qualified for DC finals against France. It is clear you are a true Roger fanboy You state "And in reality, in...

@ tennis addict 1) It is far from irrelevant. Roger is the best player who ever played the game...but again his DC record is questionable when it comes to participations. Organizing a match play team event like LC has the inherent risk of downgrading one of the nicest competitions in the game...

@pame Pat Rafter is entitled to his opinion (and so are you) but I don't see any reason why his opinion should weigh more only because he was involved in the event (and I clearly wasn't :) ). If I would post an interview with a former top 50 player who played Daviscup which would underline my...

@prairiegirl Rod Laver has already a famous court named after him ;) But I agree : the idea of honouring somebody who really took the game to a whole new level, is always a good idea. On the other hand : let's not kid ourselves or be too naive about it : Roger wants to innovate the tennis...

@sureshs Thanks ! What is great about this forum is that everybody here (also the people I disagree with on a certain topic) really love tennis... But sometimes their passion clouds their judgment :):)

@fedtennisphan @ZiggyStardust & tennisaddict Everybody is entitled to have an opinion. I can assure you I respect yours but the vice versa doesn't seem that evident to you. Fact : Roger played DavisCup , especially in the beginning of his career but starting from 2004 onwards for a lot of...
