It wasn't Federer that won the second set, it was Roddick that lost it.

I suppose you could be right, get over it. To coin a phrase.

Only Agassi?

It all started with Edberg, then Courrier, then Borris Becker, then the Spanish clay experts, etc.

Yes Agassi was his biggest rival but the whole tennis era back then was much much superior than today.

Jack, I'm not saying that it isn't. Of course, men's tennis was much better back then. But that shouldn't be a slight against Federer and his skills.

He is possibly the most complete tennis player I've ever seen

Typical Andy.

Unless he's playing Nadal.

And I am not undermining his abilities.

And now it's over.

I'll watch the Tour instead.

 

[Osman]

Yeeeeeeeeeeah, that was one vital point. Well done to comeback from Roddick though.

I've been watching it, it's been a good day, but it's over.

Roddick is the only tennis player i can't stand. I loved the way he choked in the 2nd set.

Jack, Sampras is my favorite player of all time, just in front of Edberg, but you have to give Federer his due. He is on an amazing run.

Yeah, Federer didn't have an Agassi the way that Sampras did throughout his career (Nadal the last couple of years nonwithstanding), but he has shown to be a more complete player than Sampras

federer truly is a sensational player and for what its worth i think that he would have had the beating of Sampras any day of the week. Sampras was terrific but dull as ditchwater to watch,he simply hammered people to the ground, the game is a lot more open now and i would always prefer to watch a techically brilliant Federer than a bullying Sampras

Why haven't any of you mentioned 'Tiger' Tim Henman when speaking about great tennis players?

'Tiger' Tim was so brilliant and sucking it is amazing they have not "discovered he is Scottish"

 

[Red]

He was too nice to be Scottish.

 

[Enron]

Pete was clutch.

Here comes the BREAK.

 

[Stevie]

Go Roddick! the guy showed some great heart there.

 

[Enron]

He's not usually a battler. More of a three week old daisy.

 

[bianconero]

Someone better PM Jack.

 

[Enron]

I will if Roddick doesn't choke the set away.

Uh Oh. 5th set
