In summary:
Murray -"He is such a pusher, what a sadness," LOL
Djokovic - "He saw God and had a problem, he is not doing well. A guy who is 29 and who has 300 million in his bank account, hires a "guru". He has physiological issues. He is a guru that promises peace and love to everyone."
Federer - "That's the true news, but he has not been playing for much time."

I like Adriano Panatta.
 
He finally spoke on his favourite tennis player, Roger Federer, who left the top-10 for the first time in 14 years:

TIL Panatta is a TTW user.
 
Murray doesn't go out his way to try and insult anyone, especially former pro players yet he comes out and spouts this stupid nonsense? You don't get to #1 by being a pusher and even if that was all Murray's tennis was about, who is that nobody these days to have a respected view? He's hardly some expert and Murray's career dwarfs his. In 30 years when Murray is his age, you wont see him all butt-hurt whining about new players.

Also Adriano Panatta's view about Djokovic also is like McEnroe, lets state the obvious and get some publicity even tho im about as relevant to current tennis as wooden racquets. The only "sadness" about this is that some old fart former-pro had anything to say about it at all.
 
You know what Murray will say? He said the same thing when Haas said he faked injuries.

"I don't care for his opinion"

I respect Panatta and maybe tennis in his day has shaped his point of view.

I have to defend Murray in this regard as the term "Pusher" is used more as a slur than anything in regards of Murray, pushers don't win slams or win 70+ matches in a season...ask Brad Gilbert.
 
This guy is probably one of those crazy Fed fanatics. Probably thinks Federer is god or something lmao. "hasn't been playing for a long time" excuse eh? The sooner you Fed fanatics get it into your head that he's done, the easier it would be to accept. He isn't ever winning another slam again. He couldn't even do anything in this weak era, no he's coming back from injury and another year older. He just isn't reliable anywhere but maybe Wimbledon anymore.

What was the score line at WTF 2014 ?
 
If the first one to comment is a 'caricature', then there are over 80 K caricatures on the 'General Pro Player Discussion' forum:

:D
It's not about the first comment, it's more about the context and where you inserted your comment. Obviously, as soon as the names "Federer" and "Nadal" somehow innocently mingle with each other, you step in and try to rip them apart with all your heart, even though the two complement each other the same way they tend to compliment each other nowadays. You need to finally embrace it, don't you think?
 
Djokovic has been making the life of tennis_pro miserable since 2011. It has taken it's toll and this thread shows it.

Im waiting for more players to insult the ATP for ruining the sport
Its not the fault of the players that certain hacking and pushing
wins more points than all out offense its the tennis monopoly
of the ATP, English Lawn Tennis Assoc and ITF.
yet many have come out often saying we need faster conditions
for at least halve the events to make tennis more offensive

Fanstastic thread, this.

I bet Fedal's mutual friendliness and courtesy gives madame Octomom nightmares each time it's being mentioned. Oh, no, "it's made up by the media", "it's rigged!" :D
 
Factor in Nadal's injuries. Stop comparing apples with oranges.

Nadal's "injuries" prevented him from a burnout at an earlier stage of his career (like it happened to Borg).

I am not even going to discuss in detail that Federer has a knee OP, while Nadal declared his knees fully healed 4 ? years ago.

:cool:

Who?
 
Muzza is probably the happiest pusher on the tour :D

I am one of those who wishes Murray played more aggressively (he can!), but if he gets to number 1 by pushing, kudos to him.

Murray has been much more aggressive this year than in previous years - all the hawkeye stats bear this out (avg forehand speed, number of winners, return hit point etc.) That said, he'll never be Roger but then who will?
