Leander won his 12th Grand Slam today. I am a great fan of Leander and have watched his matches since 1992. His exploits in Davis cup and in Atlanta Olympics 1996 were something that I followed closely. He is one of the greatest doubles players along with Bhupati, Matt Woodford and Woodbridge... Well done Leander!!!

no doubt he will be back, but it's impossible for him to come back to his 100% fitness and his 2008 form with his knee tendinitis which lasts long, really long !!!

not hating on Nadal...but he's hella dependent on strength, endurance, fitness (of course he has a very fine topspin)...but see...behind his powerful shots, is his strength, behind his agility his fitness.
What I meant to say is...he's more dependent on his body than his skills (which r no doubt great)....Fed Ex on the other hand is complete, and can easily compensate for a "poor serve day" or a "lazy legs day"...with his other skills....
Nadal is gonna b prone to more injuries than Federer...man Fed-Ex is so unbelievable just see how he has maintained his fitness throughout....he has competed in every slam for the past half decade and almost every time played till the finals.
Federer is the genius....Nadal is excellent but well Federer of course is the more complete player.
I am a huge fan of Roger Federer. Congrats to him. Though I felt sorry for Murray. He played good Tennis, but had lesser luck. Otherwise he could've atleast won that 3rs set in which i saw the best Tennis
Federer winning Grand Slam( Any Surface ), Rafa Nadal injured, Sania Mirza Lost in 3rd Round, Sachin hitting century, SRK giving Blockbuster, MNS harrasing Non Maharashtraians, Congress winning elections, Sensex/Nifty going down, These are NOT the News Now a days , these things are BY DEFAULT . No one can change. BUT Congratulation to Federer , which we are doing it from 2003..

hahahhaaa....lat time ,Fedex beat him in staright sets , that too in clay court...Madrid,March 2009...
GREAT is FEDERER we can say it 10 times. Possibly best sportsman on planet in current era !! BUT there are some Surprising Facts about Federer .............. 1 )Federer took 200 weeks to reach World No 1 position. 2 ) Federer required 17 tournaments to win his First Grand Slam !!! 3 ) He lost in First round on 3 occasions in Grand Slam !!!! 4 ) He Lost Qualifying at Australian Open and U.S.Open in 1999 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is interesting to see who trashed him in First round , Where were "REAL" Federer between Year 2000 to Year 2003 ??? Interesting to see HOW he used to play in Early Life of his Career . Why he remain Title less for 16 tournaments ( 4 Years ) ?? There is no way to know FEDERER Part 1. Congrats to Federer !!!

Mr. KD Narang, On reading your post, i think u expect, like, a 2 pass-out to be a CEO of a company, u wanted FEDEX to win a tournament at the early stages of his career. All your so-called SURPRISING FACTS is just a shit.
Re: Re: Federer Part 1
by Kd Narang on Jan 31, 2010 06:32 PM
Chandiran Facts Can never be shit. It is really surprising that first Four Years and Next Four Years of Federer's career are in Total Contrast. 16 consecutive losses and 16 titles !!! Greatness of Federer has been accepted by me in my First statement it self. You have NOT read carefully/understand correctly.
