Interesting.Fed says he was basically exhausted playing for so many weeks.But of course that dosen't count right?
Let's just go with the convenient narrative(convenient for Nadal and his ****s that is)...
Lolz, you know by now that The Truth is the master of 'selective reading' :p Who said an informed opinion was important anyway?!

No need to make excuses.
Nah, apparently Federer's style of tennis allows him to subvert normal human physiology. Even when he's playing 97 matches a year (2006).

Coming from her?

She's been doing this for four years now.

In fact, we're coming up on our 5th year anniversary. It's sad more than anything since I never even talk to the girl.

I'm surprised someone of your caliber would even quote her.

Most people don't.

That's why I didn't know she wasn't on my ignore list.

I've only been a member since a little over two years and you chose to reply to my post.:oops::mrgreen:

But do carry on playing the victim :D

Remind me of Federer's stats in 04, 05, 06, and 07 - The guy still played very well through the WTF each of those years, winning three and was a few points from making it four. Funny how no one talked for exhaustion for him. Bottom line is, players have to cope, this is the elite of the sport. Federer and Nadal are no different. Both could claim to be tired, at the end, the better player won the match, plain and simple.

No need to make excuses.
Yeah I know.Roger went 92-5 in 06.Funny how we never heard of 'exhaustion' and saw these pity parties.

Anyway...

In answer to the OP, and back on topic.

I don't know. Next year is sounding promising. There's a lot of articles on the web right now and it sounds like a lot of players are taking themselves very seriously for the new year.

Tsonga, Baghdatis, and Roddick have already announced their intentions, so we may be in for one of our most competitive years in a long while.

Truth, I don't know the history between you two, so reading that I was a bit stunned by it. You know I like you, and enjoy reading your posts. But I do like reading mandy01 posts also, I just wasn't expecting there to be a history as you say between you two. Hence my reaction.

Hey, wish you all a happy new year, mandy, theTruth, Niff, Hitman and of course Meg.

And from my side also. I hope everyone has a wonderful new year, and we all can get to enjoy some great tennis, regardless of who our favorites are. I think we can all unite to say that we are all fans of the same sport.

I know you didn't.

But it doesn't matter. I'm not trying to get mad with someone I don't know. There's more important things than arguing on a tennis board.

Chanda Rubin's house just burned down, I'm sure she's devestated. I try to count my blessings and keep moving forward in a positive manner.

Question?

Do I remember correctly? Are you not an American? If not, do you celebrate the New Year as is the custom here?

Just wondering.

I guess it is important not to get mad. There will always be differences in views, but it is not worth losing sleep over.

My mother is American, she is from California. However I am British myself, I live in London, close to Wimbledon. And yes, I do celebrate New Year!

It is very important to your overall health. Peace and love, baby.

Off topic, but forgive me.

Have you ever attended the Championships? It is a dream of mine. I am going to do everything in my power to go at least once before I die.

Also, are you not a fan of Andy Murray, not that nationality has anything to do with it, but I don't recall you ever mentioning him.

Yes, I have attended the Championships. I have been going since Sampras ruled, and I have to say that I have never seen a player there with more of an aura than Sampras. I was there this year also during the final. I did not actually watch the match live, but I was standing outside when Rafael came out to show his trophy!

I got my foot stepped on three times, it was crazy! And poor Rafa tripped over and nearly lost his grip on the trophy. I've also done the FO, and USO.

I wish you the best in getting to see the Championships live in person.

I am a big fan of Murray, and it has nothing to do with us both being British. I have stated many times that I wish for him to win a slam, and if I could choose, it would be him. And I am always glad win he wins a big event. Murray, Djokovic and Del Potro are among my personal favorites.

I agree that sometimes we just disagree. And there is nothing wrong with that, actually when done properly, it encourages healthy discussions. It's only when it goes into personal insults, and the my player is an Angel, cannot do any wrong, and will never lose if he/she is 100% is where it goes sour for me.

Hmm...well I have no set definition of an argument .I'm okay as long as it's within the forum rules and mostly forget about it pretty quickly.I don't take this place so seriously otherwise I'd have had these cat-lovers on my ignore list and boy oh boy,would that list have been long :mrgreen:

Question for you. Do you see Roger possibly taking the number one back, even if it is brief in the upcoming season?

Honest answer? no.
WTF was great but it's extremely difficult to tell whether the momentum will carry over to the next season.Even if Roger were to,in some way win the AO it would take a great deal of effort to make up for the point-difference.I don't see anyone doing Nadal any harm during the clay season and I'm sure he'll do well at Wimbledon.USO-it's too early to tell.
All in all it's a very tall order .Right now,I'm more keen on seeing how his partnership with Annacone works.I've really enjoyed watching him since Wimbledon.I've been amazed yet again at his desire to improve and keep going even when the chips are down.
I hope to see him holding the Wimbledon trophy just one more time atleast but even if he dosen't I'll still be happy.I've had a great time following his tennis,the beauty of which stuns me every single time.

That is bascially what I think. And yes, I would love to see him win Wimbledon one more time and tie Sampras, that would be incredible!

I get to go to the Master's in Cincinnati and I know what you mean about the aura. I've only seen it three times, and that was with Sampras, Nadal, and Serena.

With Sampras people were actually giddy. I went into the restroom and people were abuzz. They were talking about the points he played, and then this lady was like, "Oh, I'm sorry, you're not for the other guy, are you?" Everyone in the restroom was joining in the conversation. We had a great time.

With Serena, the atmosphere was electric. The fans were beside themselves with excitement. It was such a warm and fuzzy feeling.

And with Nadal, we almost had to park in the next door's establishment. I have never seen cars like we saw that day.

I'm a fan of Murray's too. I just love the way he plays the game. Every match is like a chess match. Even when he beats Rafa I'm happy for him. I do hope he wins a major(s), he's too talented not to, and he seems like a totally likeable guy with his delicious British wit.

I agree. You can say anything if you know how to say it and it does encourage healthy conversations. But personal insults, nah, that's what they have ignore for. I have no desire to go down that negative route. I enjoy talking to Rafa, Fed, Djokovic, and Murray fans who like to remain civil.

It's quite simple really. We all have our favorites that we're passionate about, and it stands to reason that the other person is too. What's there to argue? Arguments always break out when posters get personal.

It's all in your mind, Mandy.

It was you, and it has always been you and your ilk who initiated contact with me. So, please stuff it.

This "victimization" bit came from one of your friends, amirite? The Truth is nobody's victim, or fool. Nor do I care what you think, or who you run with. I don't want, or need anything from you, so buzz off!

I took you off of ignore, because I find you comical.

1. You write me a hate-filled post.

2. Then you accuse me of things you've concocted in your own little mind.

3. I have always been respectful to you and everyone on this board. I am not the delusional one. Try again.

If that were true we wouldn't be seeing double standards from you.You are only 'respectful' to those who'll endorse your contentions.If they start rebutting you,you go all defensive and accuse them of somehow insulting you and what not.And you do this all the time.

She? Who are you talking to? The board? Trying to convince them that you're right. Why did you all of a sudden go into third person?

Life is too short, Mandy. It really is. You need to knock it off. For real.

How do I give myself importance? Did I dispute anything you said, initially?

Did I post to you in a derogatory manner?

Tell me, dear Mandy. Just what did The Truth do?

I've been wanting to hear the answer to that for years. Get it off your chest.

Oops. Never noticed it, since i never read her pedagogic, sophisticated, intellectual, didactic poo .. er .. posts.

Unfortunately, I've actually had an encounter with her. I think it was on Rafa thread, about winning the US Open. I had actually posted that thread was good, and I would really like to see Rafa win the US Open. It would be great to see two career slams, in back to back seasons. So, my posts was certainly pro-nadal, if you can call it that. I asked another poster why they would not watch Rafa if he is losing a match, since I will watch Roger no matter what, and keep cheering him on. Well, she attacked me for asking that, and said that Roger fan has no business in this thread.

After I actually showed her that I had actually said I would like to see Rafa win from a post earlier in the thread, and I just asked another poster why they won't watch the tennis if Rafa is losing, she kind back downed. Strange.

I understand how you might feel that way, and you're entitled, but your post was offensive, just like they have been since you came on the board.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to communicate with you via email, but I hate hijacking threads, and honestly, arguing in public. However, if someone is bent on talking to me in that manner, that's what going to happen. I'm not allowing you or anyone else to talk to me any way they see fit.

It's that simple.

We can stop it anytime. It's up to you.
