What would the front page of GPPD look like in the 90’s / early 00’s?

[Third Serve]

Thread idea inspired by a comment from @Lleytonstation

The forum was created in 2004 so many of the threads in GPPD are predictably about Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. What would the threads in GPPD look like in the 90’s and early 2000’s if TTW has existed at that point?

Sampras GOAT debates? Agassi hate threads? Old Borg fans arguing with the current Sampras/Agassi generation of fans? Or maybe something different?

“Prime Borg vs Prime Sampras At The French Open - Only Sampras Serves - Who Wins?

As a McEnroe and Borg fan, I think it has been a privilege to watch these two play. Take Wimbledon 1980 for example, which is considered the greatest tennis match ever by many experts.”

 

[Lleytonstation]

• Agassi looks like he is on drugs
• Will Sampras ever be caught in slams?
• Borg would dominate in this weak era
• Do you think two handed backhand will become the norm? Is one handed backhands dead?
• Will Fed actually ever win a slam?
• Is Sampras retired?
• Sampras says he is coming back
• Heard Sampras will only play WC from now on
• Has anybody seen this Nadal guy play?

• ELO rankings.... (JK)

Boris Becker romps to the broom closet title once more.

 

[mike danny]

1. Is Pete Sampras the GOAT?

2. How many slams would Agassi have if he stayed at his 1995 level every year?

3. How many slams will Agassi end up with?

4. Is Federer a wasted potential?

5. Was Federer's win over Sampras a fluke?

6. Will Sampras win another slam?

7. How long will Hewitt stay at no.1?

Non stop PETE is the GOAT threads for days

NO EXCUSES NUFF SAID!

"Sampras is Finnish" (context: he's still #1 and defending 2 Slams, but just lost a 250)

Wonder how much 250's were worth then to people?

 

[MeatTornado]

Agassi isn't even an ATG, and here's why

Courier will break Borg's RG record

Bridgette is going to ruin Pete's game

Moderation here is out of control. We're moving to AOL.

Bo5 to be gone by the new millennium?

 

[King No1e]

"Marat Safin will win 10 Grand Slams"

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

As a PETE and Andre fan, why is Andre his pigeon?

 

[Frylock]

"Federer will never win a major"

124 minutes in hell. Posted by random at one of Greg Rusedski's matches.

Poor Courier,got destroyed once more,LOL! By user: Cuphead

 

[junior74]

Sampras records that will never be broken:

14 slam titles
7 Wimbledon titles
286 weeks at #1

 

[Breakpointerer]

Oh man. 90s Clay would have absolutely thrived.
Also I wonder how Federer would have been viewed before his success at Wimbledon'03.

"This topspin monkey is going to ruin tennis. He'd never be successful hitting his wristy modern forehands in the wood era."

Converting break point is his strength no!!?

 

[Deleted member 733170]

Laver is the GOAT

Weak Era Becker Wins Wimby

Edberg Can’t Volley like Roscoe Tanner

Is Hewitt the new Chang?

Henman GOAT

Pete and his luck

Goran will never win a slam

 

[tennis_pro]

weak era

Sampras wins another Pioline Open

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

'What a coincidence that PETE's results started to wane once real competition showed up in the forms of Hewitt and Safin. Nothing but a weak era champ.'

 

[Bender]

Super light space age racquets and homogenised super fast surfaces have ruined tennis.
Everyone just hits aces until the cows come home. Sampras and Agassi can only do what they do because of modern racquets. Bring back wooden racquets or fans will leave this sport for good.
