Well, I don't dwell on the past, and I enjoy discussing the possibilities of the future WITH a certain DEGREE OF RESTRAINT, since I don't have a sphere to gaze into everyday. That's just me.
This, in my mind, says more about your way of thinking. But well I appreciate that you can appreciatee Federers play as I just read.
I don't confuse the two of them, don't worry. I can see that you are not the kind of poster you describe here. You said that you are annoyed with Nadal fans downgrading Federer's achievements. I replied your statement: Federer's fans do that on a daily basis with Nadal. What is the difference?
Daily basis? Well, that may be true. I don't keep tab of such things. I should admit that during FO and right before Wimby, there were a lot of threads claiming everything that Rafa can accomplish...No difference. You're right to point out that some Fed's fans are also crazy. I acknowledged it in my previous post.
This is what I am talking about.
You haven't contributed anything. You can't just tell me I'm wrong without proving it. I proved to you why the analogy between Seabiscuit and Nadal is perfect, and you can't prove otherwise. Nadal was always the underdog against Fed outside of clay, and he not only won against him in Wimbledon and the Australian Open, he got the Career Grand Slam at 24.
I'm merely responding to your hateful post in which you debase Nadal. As I've said before, everybody's entitled to being biased, but when you lose respect for a player to the point that you accuse him of being doped with no evidence whatsoever to support it, then you become a scumbag in my book.
My point is that Fed, for all his brilliancy, was trouncing the field left and right with no opposition until Nadal rose to the occasion (and how.) God bless the kid for destroying the dreams of world domination of so many extreme *******s.
Yes, it's also childish to accuse Group A of doing the same thing Group B does while giving Groub B a Carte Blanche, and all this while pretending to be on a moral high ground.
dood everyfrickin1 was the underdog against fed. he was most dominant world #1 since sampras
How many players defeated Fed in his home turf? That's why Nadal is the Seabiscuit of tennis. It's not enough with not being supposed to win Wimbledon and AO against "the GOAT." You have to be able to do it.
Compare the results Rafa got in AO, USO, and even Wimby by the time he was already destroying the field on clay.
this is ****ism at its finest. the guy has never gone out in the first round of any slam. he consistently won matches on all surfaces when he showed up 2 compete. By the time he was 20 he had made the second week of all slams and won masters on both fast n slow hardcourt as well as clay.
Exactly.
"Unlucky, unlucky, oh yes," uncle Toni said. "If there wasn't Federer, perhaps Rafael would have been No. 1 for four years. But with Federer, that was impossible."
