Leander Paes has a better head to head against Sampras...does it mean that Leander is a better player than Sampras??
Please answer two simple questions: 1. Do you think Federer is ever going to win at Rolland Garros with Nadal not undisposed? and 2. Do you think Federer is going to end up with a positive Head to Head score against Nadal?

Nadal is no. 1 and playing better than any player of the circuit. I am also a big fan of Nadal. But I am surprized to see that just basis on 3 grand slam people thinks Nadal is better than Federer his era has end.

Djocovic has beaten Nadal this year, but it doesn't mean Djokovic is better than Nadal. Any player has ups and downs in his career but you people feel as(Federer era has ended now) because Federer never see down in last 4 years. I am not saying he will dominate again some years, I am just saying still he is best and can beat Rafa and win some more titles.

Comparing Nadal to federer in the same vein would be like comparing Borg to Ivan Lendl.Both have primed at varing interval of times.Before comparing the both, let us give some time to Nadal to cement his glory which Federer has obviously done.You seem to talk like Kirsten who somehow finds Dhoni suited for all.

I see the logic.......The green dress will act as a camouflage for the green ball...and it will be difficult for the other player to spot the ball......Sh!t I am smart maannn......

Balls are not really Green. In fact one needs to wear a fluorescent Green to camouflage those tennis balls.

so according to you Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and everyone except Nadal should give up on tennis because they are not #1

in jest?... what kind of humour is that? its already got the crowd booing Djoko.. and when did accusing that your opponent is cheating become "funny"... maybe you"d say McEnroe's outbursts at the umpire were also in "jest"

Well he got the crowd's laugh when he mimiced others. Did he care how it would hurt them? He enjoyed the crowd'd attention. Now th etables are reversed. Jokovic did look like he was exagerating( he did not say he was cheating)his pains. Because definitely he did not look it in the match with Andy.Jokowic took liberies with Andy when he mimiced him for fun and he should not complain now.It is all in the game.
One of the undoings of Roger Federer has been, his inability to convert break points. In the French Open final last year, he managed to convert just 1 out of 17 opportunities. Yesterday against Muller, he could convert just 1 out of 11. This clearly shows lack of mental toughness. I doubt whether any other player on the circuit has such a poor conversion record. He has to improve on this aspect to have any realistic chance of beating Nadal again.

I thought rediff board was only filled with messaes about Sania Mirza not having mental strength. Now we find experts suggesting that even Roger Fedrer lacks mental strength. Way to go ...
Re: aishwarya patil
by Anurag Rathore on Sep 05, 2008 01:28 PM
You are talking about lack of mental toughness. How he was number 1 since last 4 years? He is still getting so much break points. It is just a matter of confidence which he has lost. You can't under estimate Federer even he is struggling. If he will play at 100% of his potential nobody can beat them.

no one in the tournment has created so many breakpoint opportunities against muller in this tournament because muller is such a solid serve and volley player. Federer could enforce so many opportunities because he has superior gournd strokes.This itself great effort. This is nothing do with mental toughess. Federer plays solid tennis now. He would bring Novak and Rafa to their knees..watch out
