The man is ridiculously broad, well proportioned...

As for Fed,...Dwight Howard is the yummy hotness. <br /><br />As for Fed, it's done. It's over. He's got the title of GOAT as defined by the tennis media and fans. I agree with Savannah -- noone can be the greatest of all time because generation to generation knowledge and technology changes. Thought processes and techniques, once unavailable/unthinkable to previous players, progress. However, I'm more than willing to concede he is GOAT because it means they can stop obsessing over it. It's done. It's over, he's got it. Place it by his name in gold piping. Moving on. <br /><br />Curried goat is delicious, it's a toss-up between that and lamb. Are you West Indian too, Karen? Well, I'm West Indian by way of my mother, a Trini.sGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078504555782229264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-88398188334290016422009-07-18T08:12:23.405-05:002009-07-18T08:12:23.405-05:00Pete sure stirred up a few Fedfans with those comm...Pete sure stirred up a few Fedfans with those comments.

For the record I dont think that any one player can be classifed as GOAT. As you say, different racquets, etc. Whether Pete was dragooned or not into coming to Wimbledon etc., is to my mind not really relevant. What is relevant is that he spent most of the match hiding behind sunglasses and looking bored with his wife, and just looking as if he did not wish to be there. In addition, he has not returned to Wimbledon, the scene of most of his triumphs since he lost there in 2002. That says something about the guy's egos. I am sure that when Roger retires you will perhaps still see him at Wimbledon or at other tour events (if the baby(es) do not keep him away) as he has said how much he loves the game. I have always felt that there are 2 types of tennis players, those who play for the love of the game, and those who do it just because their families pushed them into it. I think Roger and Serena fall into the love of the game category, Pete and Venus fall into the pushed into it category, along with Sharapova and a host of others. I dont sense from a lot of players that they are in the game because they really and truly love the sport. Their passion on the court is just not there. I think that is something that pulls fans to the sport, when you see some athletes who put their all into evertyhing and who react emotionally (some would say with arrogance and lack of class) when they win or lose matches.Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-45323811988987594442009-07-17T16:08:30.867-05:002009-07-17T16:08:30.867-05:00The truth is PURE.

Besides, Rafa's just entered his prime, maybe he might wind up as the greatest of his generation.

If you read the transcript he says something about the flight to London.<br /><br />I'm sure that someone decided it would be nice to have all these legends present at the match since it was felt Andy would play doormat to Roger. <br /><br />It gets back to the GOAT argument. It's my opinion that you can be the greatest of your generation but not the greatest of all time. The technology changes too much from year to year let alone generation to generation. Some, me included, would argue that towards the end of his career all Sampras had was his serve and that his record was based on wins on only two surfaces, hard and grass. He hated clay and used to say so.<br /><br />Sampras seems to have answered honestly and that is all he can do.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079111598976360942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-757702474597183495.post-17918720392355066242009-07-17T14:01:28.576-05:002009-07-17T14:01:28.576-05:00Very good post Savannah.

I wonder what was happening to Serena why she lost both her matches in WTT. I also heard that Venus lost her matches as well. Too much tennis and not enough down time methinks. For my money I think Pete's comments are a bit of sour grapes. I think he is a bit miffed that Roger has surpassed his mark, and done it in a relatively quick time. I am sure that someone else will come along and break Roger's record in quick time as well. That is why they are there (records that is), they are meant to be broken. I thought it was quite disrespectful of him and his wife to be looking so completely bored during the men's match. A little bit of enthusiasm would have been nice. The fact that he turned up mid-match says it all. I dont particularly care when legends of the game seem to have little or no respect for the game, especially when they are faced with a newer and better model. When you look at the legends who attend for the women's matches, they always seat themselves early and are very enthusiastic about the play. Not hiding behind sunglasses and looking like they want to be anywhere apart from here. And to think that the 2 guys playing their hearts out hold Pete Sampras as one of their heroes. Whatever.Overhead Spinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838462340734632101noreply@blogger.com
