Calling me a "Federer Friend?" You think I care about a man who threw away an entire decade to secure his lead in the pantheon of greatness? I'm not annoyed with Novak winning. A blind man can see he's earned it. I'm annoyed with the state of tennis and the posters/posers on here claiming it's great when there are no challengers for one individual who doesn't even need to play a high caliber to win. Give me a gutsy, aggressive young Novak, give me an Agassi who lost his will to play, then rejoined the tour from the ground up, fielding his own balls and working his way all the way back to win grand slams. Give me an angry Marat Safin with a backhand the fire of a thousand suns, give me a stoic Sampras and his Jordan dunking overheads. Anyone with any level of creativity, any level of passion, that is good tennis. Yes, you can only play who is in front of you, but let's not pretend these amateurs deserve to face an ATG like Novak for a shot at the title.
