Sampras hails Federer as greatest
by anil kumar on Jul 14, 2009 02:15 PM

It’s been a Great final and both of them played really well, I thought Roddick deserved to win unfortunately he lost, Roger Federer is only a good player and cannot be considered among the greats.

Hey Clone. Your such a timid fellow that you cant even write a blog with your own name and you comment others. How funny. By the way you are calling yourself intelligent. hahahaha. Come to my house I will show you my School, college & University certificates in Tennis. I bet you have nothing. If I see you on the blog for US Open next month your parents will repent why they gave birth to you. OK. Give my best wishes to Nadal who can only beat Federer but can be beaten by all the other top 100 ranked players. 5 years into professional tennis he has only 6 Grandslam titles out of which 4 are on the same surface and he has an idiot as his mouth piece/ spokesperson. hahahahaha

Roger or Andy better in the final ........???????????/
by Geetu Nair on Jul 08, 2009 07:00 PM

There have been lot of messages making rounds mentioning Andy was better than Roger in the final...

And one common comment is that Had Andy not missed the second set after leading 6-2 in tie-break... it would have been over in three staright sets.!!!!!!!!
Now both Andy and Roger had the chance to win and both played brilliantly...
Infact it can also be noticed that Roger had a break point in the first set to take a lead of 6-5... and if he had won he could have served to take the first set 7-5... Instead he lost it 5-7..... And how people write straight sets Andy would have won.. third set tie-break..Roger thrashed him...... And finally it was in the fifth set which Roger showed what a champion he is... Did people notice the games from scorline of 6-6, Roger was serving like anything and was winning his service with a scoreline of game - love or game -15..except for the one game at 8-8 where he allowed a breakpoint for Andy.. whereas Andy always used to fight back in his serve after being 0-30 down... So Roger was the man who was creating opportunity to WIN more than Andy in the decider... and with the scoreline at 13-12, and 14-13 he pushed Andy like anything and finally won breaking Andy in the next game to win 16-14.

Who is the better player ???????
by Mahesh Kishore on Jul 08, 2009 01:26 AM  | Hide replies

I and many have been debating about the better player as of noof the era....!!!!!!!

I dont think there is anything to discuss.. because that is why we have a RANKING SYSTEM... and As seen ROGER was No.1 For more than 4 years on the trot and now regained it back after losing for 48 weeks... So he is the better player as of now.. Let NADAL or somebody else achieve that feat and everybody will undersytand if NADAL or somebody else os better or greater than Roger..!!!!!

You seems to be a dumb Nadal fan..just writing some essay like messages....

Where did i WROTE OFF NADAL ??????????

Whereever i have wrote a message, IT WAS FOR JUST TO MENTION, ROGER IS MUCH BETTER AND FAR AHEAD PLAYER THAN NADAL AS OF NOW" NOTHING ELSE....

AND REGARDING THE AGE 23 FACTOR, I AM CRITICAL BECAUSE, SEE HOW MANY NADAL HAS WON AFTER 5 YEARS INTO WINNING A MAJOR, SEE THE INJURY AT THE EARLY AGE OF 23, SEE HOW LONG NADAL COULD WITHSTAND ON NO.1, SEE HOW MANY SLAM FINALS HE ENTERED OR WON IN 5 YEARS, AS OF NOW ROGER IS A MILES AHEAD OF NADAL. LET HIM PROVE IT AND THEN WE CALL HIM BIGGER THAN ROGER...!!!!!!!!

Dumb Nadal fan ? If I was one I wouldn'taccept that Fed's the greatest.. I did accept that .. Infact you seem to be a dumb person jumping to conclusions too soon..

You concluded in previous post .."Over hyped player Nadal.. Just a clay court specialist.. "
Thats actually writing off man ..

Whatever you might argue, age is only a favorable factor for Nadal as compared to Fed..

And yes Everyone knows Nadal has long distance to go ... I am only arguing that Nadal has it in him .. and he is not just a clay court specialist anymore.. as u said ..

If this "IT WAS FOR JUST TO MENTION, ROGER IS MUCH BETTER AND FAR AHEAD PLAYER THAN NADAL AS OF NOW" NOTHING ELSE...." was what you wanted to say .. I agree with you compltely ..

But am sorry your previous posts DID NOT JUST give this view .. Infact they wrote off Nadal

Mr. Anurag Rathore,
According to you Roddick played well but Federer won luckily. Last year Nadal won but not on luck. Why two different views for two five set matches. That shows you are chamcha of nadal and you hate Federer. And coming to being junior I think you dont understand english. Kishore has written that Federer has achieved a lot in the span of 7 years. That means even Nadal plays for another 10 years and wins 30 Grandslams he will still not be considered better than Federer if he doesnot achie in 2 more years what Federer has achieved in 7 years. And as you rightly said I think you are very close to Nadal(Hey they made the Gay Law legal) why is that you always crib on Federers crying. Sportsmen also cry with ecstasy and the emotions they show are out of the pressure that is released after winning. Couch potatoes who know only writing blogs will not know what sport is all about. You and Aishwarya Patil have reached a stage where you have become a nusiance on the rediff blog. You dont understand the game nor you understand English.

Nadal Better than Fedex ???????
by Mahesh Kishore on Jul 07, 2009 06:50 PM  | Hide replies

This post is not against Nadal... I like both Nadal and Fedex.. but people compare Nadal and Fedex.... and tells since Nadal ahs beaten fedex many times..Nadal is better.. Here the facts below......


Fedex 15 Grand Slams won.. Rafa 6 (And that too 4 on clay French Opens)
Fedex stayed as No 1 for 267 weeks... Rafa out after 48 weeks and if he was better.. why hanged on at 2nd spot for 4 yrs ?
Fedex reached all Grand Slam Semifinals For 21 consecutive time.. Rafa.. :( Dont know what rounds he went out... and when afraid tells excuse and doesnt play ...
Fedex wins 15 Grand slams in a period of 7 years (First win in 2003 - 2009) whereas Rafa has only 6 in 5 years (First win 2005 - 2009)

Another comparison people make... Nadal is only 23 and already won 6 slams.. but the fact is that nadal reached peak very quickly (won the first slam in 2005 that is just two years later than when fedex won first slam in 2003).

Its not easy, as you dump Nadal fans think, to continue playing like Roger for all these years..afterall what had nadal won on the majors ? He started winning Major at 2005 French open.. and now its 5 years.. how many he has won at majors ? and how many finals ? Over hyped player Nadal.. Just a clay court specialist..

Moron Kishore,how much Meth did you sprinkle on your fruity pebbles this morning?You conveniently forget to mention that Nadal is quite junior to Fedex, so quoting Fedex's record is just a bit premature when your comparing him to Nadal.Next,unless you are very close to Nadal(which I dount considering your high levels of stupidity)there's no way you can say that he is making excuses not to play.Rathere,you need to evaluate why Fedex chokes so many times in big matches against Rafa,why he sobs like a lil child, and why Rafa's head to head against Fedex is better.Why Rafa improves each time in Wimbledon and finally unseated Fedex while Fedex is nowhere close to unseating Rafa in Roland Garros.Why Fedex seems more relaxed and is a better player when he knows Rafa isn't around...and why it took him so long to beat Roddick,while Roddick was the better player all along the final.It was the same story in the 2007 Wimbledon final,Rafa dominated and deserved to win but Fedex scraped through.So when you have the answers to these questions, please come back.Till then it's better you seek help for your quite apparent problems.

Nadal got unseated by Roger in Madrid final and then got unseated by Soldering in French open and then got unseated by Hewitt in exhibition match and again by someone in another exhibition match before Wimbledon.... at that too at the AGE OF 23... just after being in No.1 for 48 weeks...!!!!! Enough ????????? And if you mention that Federer is just scrapping thru all the major finals... hehe.. What is Nadal doing ? He is also just scrapping thru in all the majors in 5- setters and all against Fedex... haha..Atleast let NADAL reach all the finals and compete with Fedex.. Nadal ahs become a bunny now... poor child sitting and crying in home.. :((

Come on!Mr Mahesh Kishore :)
U seem to being good trailer for a Average movie :) as some else did!
I really don't think "U like both Nadal and Federer equally" ! Infact I am sure!

First things first, I accept Federer is greatest in his era :) So you shouldn't complain that am against Federer..

Answer this question first in you reply! How many Majors did Fed win when he was of current Rafa's age ?? How many!?

And you declaring that Rafa peaked when he won his first Major ? I think most of sane people would feel that Rafa started peaking from 2008 French Open ..from which he went on to win Wimbledon, Olympic Gold and Australian open. When Rafa is fit, even you would not hesitate to write on a bond paper that Rafa's odd's against winning French is near zero.

Just a clay court specialist ? As if you have seen the future ? People calmly forget an year of tennis (2 non-clay grand slams and an Olympic gold)

What did Nadal since last 5 years .. He won 6 Majors ... What did Fed 5 years before he was 23 ? ? ? Slept ? I am sorry but I shouldn't say above words for federer. But Fed fans like you (not all) make me say so.

Some of Federer fans (Not All) seem to have this habit of writing off people.. But remember one thing. when you write off someone who has potential, you may have to repent in future .. Why waste time in writing off people now ? And why repent in future ?

Support Federer but don't write off, someone talented.

Same as you commented on me.. You also look to be Nadal die-hard fan..not looks to be but "i am sure...!!!!!!

And by the way,, You are telling ..Nadal peaked during 2008 ? Wah wah.. For you its just that peaking is winning titles ? In 2005 he won a record 11 titles...!!!!! And 2006 was not bad again... 7 titles....!!!.. the only problem was he was shadowed by Federer who was not reachable.... If you consider that Nadal peaked in 2008..then i would tell..its not peak.. played almost all possible tournment and the result is there to see.. Now he cant play.. fatigue..!!!! at the age of 23.!!!!!!!
You look to be very childish when telling What did Roger do when he was 23...!!!!!!! Roger won the first major in 2005..!!! and that is when he was 23 because he started he turned professional late... and moreover he was not a great player till 2002-03 where he started upsetting top players..

And people here are telling Nadal defeated Federer in Wimbledon..French Open..etc, etc...If you look at French opens..All finals Nadal played against Roger and all were five setters.. Just because Nadal is a clay specialist... He wins in French open... Now please leave 2008 when Roger lost in 3 sets in Frnch open, Lost in 5 sets in Wimbledon, and followed in Australian Open... Everyone knows 2008-09 Roger had a bad year and that too mainly due to his disease... Now dont ask me what it is and all...!!!!
See Nadal now.. cant play... What happend at age 23 my dear ?? Its not injury.EXHAUSTED

:) Nadal fan ..yes! but extremely sensible ... not like you :) Cos am not writing off anyone like you

Yes I know that Fed's first major was in 2005! Nadal when he is 23 has won 6 majors when Fed dint start winning majors :) Isn't that 6 majors bonus ....

And yes! As if Fed didn't play before he was 23.. Fed made his Grand Slam Debut in 1999 ... And its INABILITY of Fed to have nothing till 23 ...!

Yes and who are you to decide the peak time of player ??? thats the whole question!

You cannot decide the Nadal's peak time of play .. after all .. peak's can be decided after one retires ... AND YOU DID NOT SEE THE FUTURE ... so don't write off Nadal ...

Now if go back to 2005 and say that FED has won one grandslam till now ..even when he was playing from 1999 .. SO ITS FED's peak now... itl be completely illogical ...

Its same way for Nadal .. Give him some more time .. atleast by the time he turns 26 and then comment his peak ..

WHY DO U HAVE SO MUCH FUN IN WRITING OFF PEOPLE ?

it was a generous tribute from one champ to another.remember even mcgrath acknowledged that wasiim akram was a better bowler than him.
may be sampras could have beaten federer 6 times out of 10 at wimbledon,ofcourse federer would be better in all other surfaces.
