The Official ATP Tennis thread

lol calm down…08 is just fed off year…i wouldnt talk tooo much ish. never count the swiss miss out.

yeah, the dude played with mono for the beginning of the year, and when healthy totally smoked everyone besides Nadal

if Nadal is a finalist or wins the US Open I’ll be convinced

young guns > old dogs

Fed’s only 26, man

Yup, but most people forget that because it seems like he’s been dominating tennis for a very long time. The US Open will be Nadal’s tester if he is really the next top dog. I don’t see myself jumping on his bandwagon yet, it took Roger 3 consecutives Wimbledon titles before I jump from Andy Roddick’s bandwagon to his. So, like Rafa said “we’ll see…”.

Rafa’s only about 600 points off of Roger’s #1 ranking. Even if he gets it, it doesn’t discount Federer though.

I hate it when people take a shit on top players the moment they stumble. Ohhh no, they’re DONE!

Rafa has much improved though. I was very impressed with his serve all tournament.

I love Nadal. He’s a more skilled version of Thomas Muster.

He’s improving the service part of his game but I hope that he doesn’t put the major emphasis on it. Improve the volley part and he’s set.

Nadal has a chance to surpass Andre Agassi totals and this coming from an Agassi nut.

damn can’t wait for the U.S. Open

if Nadal wants to make the finals at the US he will have to get a lucky draw. theres a few players out there who give him headaches on the hardcourts. Fed should make it quite easily, no mono to slow his hardcourt game down. i cant stand novak, glad marat punished his ass at wimbledon, so i’m hoping for a nadal v fed final.

man being a fed fan these last 2 months have been extrememly painful to watch. i still dont think people give fed the credit he deserves on clay. he’s beaten rafa once and almost beat him on a couple occasions before. theres never been a better all around player ever.

My love for Nadal comes simply from the fact that he is basically the only guy out there that wasn’t letting Federer wreck everyones shit for free, and for beasting on clay as well.

Federer woulda been champion of everything ever if Nadal wasn’t around.

I like how people are talking about Federer like he’s Michael Jordan on the Wizards already. Shows how mature personality wise he is and he’s still got much to do at only 26. People can’t sleep on the Fed. Nadal winning was beastly but I still like the champ.

What else can you do against Federer besides take the beating he gives you?

Besides Nadal there may be only like two more people that can even think about beating Federer.

who’s watching the us open right now? phau is fucking doing work on nadal. wooo. damn.

I would not be surprise if nadal loses

just finished the olympics, and hard courts are his worst surface, plus the pressure of being #1

ehh, that’s probably not really an issue for nadal. he’s worked so hard to be #1 and he won’t let something like pressure get to him. however, yes, this is a true test for nadal seeing how hard courts are his worst surface.

Nadal losing? not gonna happen anytime soon.

lol shush u. i think phau is gonna be a beast in a few years he was kinda nasty in my opinion.

wooo blake wins. you my boy blake.

Can someone please tell me why Ana Ivanovic is still the no. 1 player in the world?

She can’t even get to top 8 in a major consistently and now she’s no. 1?

She just lost to some unknown today.

She should just retire and be a hottie.

ivanovic out means no need to watch the womens matches anymore.

cant wait for nadal v federer again. gonna be sick.

the numbers say she is but it doesn’t mean anything right now… for me, the williams sisters is at the top.
