What a player!! I saw him lose the game against Nalbandian a couple of weeks ago but I saw a champion in him.
Intro, the member who was so much into betting, is a tennis fan and we share the same opinion. During the Sampras days there was a big competition and many champions duelled with him, Becker, Agassi and a few others here and there. Tennis was on a higher level. Now with Federer on the field there is hardly any tough competition except for Nadal and that is only on clay.
Why did I mention that? Because I think Djokovic is Federer's competition next year. And finally the game has got some match up.

I hope so.. Djokovic certainly has it in him, though Federer is the one who matters, when he's interested and concentrated(which he is usually 95% of the time) practically no one can come near him. He's simply a robot, when he looses I have a feeling he didn't loose because the opponent was better but because Federer wasn't completelly in it.
I don't think the competition is that weak against him either, he's simply on a another level and it messes with other players' morale. Djokovic is young and very talented but I wouldn't call on him taking on Federer's crown just yet, but in a few years if he keeps on improving, he can do it.
For now I'll be pleased if Nole wipes the floor with that girl scout Nadal, whole season long.

Hingis was a child prodigy, & sadly like a lot of those today she rebelled against everything, sacked her mum as manager (how the hell can you sack your mother?) & started a downward spiral, coke being the retreat of so many people in that situation.
Recently Novak has started to do impressions of other players when hes way ahead & serving, his Nadal is very good, but his Sharapova is perfect!
I love Djokovic's impression of him, he's got him spot on.

I like Nole too, he is my favorite player for some time, beside him I support Ancic and that's it.
Federer is a class for himself, and noone can't be compared to him at the moment, he is winning matches gently with grace unlike Nadal who base his game mostly on his strenght. (did anyone noticed difference between his left and right arm?)
And what about Nalbandian you guys think? He is one of the most talented players in the world, but the thing is that he is playing tennis more for fun and not like a professional. I heard he barely train.

Another Sampras fan 
Yes, I'm afraid Federer will break his record but that's not because he's the better player only because he doesn't have the competition Sampras had.

I remember when he beat Sampras in that wimbledon in 1996 
, if he hadn't done that Pete would have won 8 Wimbledon's in a row.

Richard went to play Malivay Washington in the final and I think it was that game where a naked woman came in running on the pitch, right?
