 Re: The Tennis Thread - Australia Open '09
Anybody else find it sad that Dinara Safina is #1 in the world? I mean I like Safina, but yea, compared to the top heavy men's side, the women's is in shambles

Chris Evert could come back and make the semis.

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
Djokovic out in straights. At least this eases the path to Nadal/Federer IV. Of which I'm certain Nadal will make it out of his half, Federer I'm less sure.
I think I've stopped caring about Women's tennis.

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
Federer's not a lock, but he's got to be the favourite now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; I just hope he doesn't blow it.

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
If there was no nadal, federer would have won all 3 previous french opens. He really looked good at least 1st 2 years.
Now federer aura is gone. He is just part of the crowd. I dont think it will hurt his legacy bcos he is not even close to his peak.

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
Its funny but when Nadal won the Oz Open I said that most likely Federer will win the French - lost grand slams for both players.

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
And he's through in five. Nice of him to give the crowd some more tennis. Both finalists didn't play their best today, but if Federer is ever going to win a French Open it's on Sunday.

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
I really hope Fed can win, but Soderling has just been a giant-killer so far. We'll see.

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
Didn't see the match, but I'm guessing Safina's rage right now is something to behold...

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
I think he's in the top 3 regardless of tomorrow: Laver, Sampras, Federer.
He's not a definitive number one if he wins tomorrow, and probably won't be a definitive number one until he wins a calendar grand slam or at the very least evens up the H2H with Nadal. Of course being 2-8 vs Nadal on Clay doesn't help that, but it's not horrible considering Nadal's one of the top 2 greatest clay courters ever, and I'd be shocked if by career's end he's not considered the greatest.
I hope the final is better than Kuznetsova/Safina. But then again I've lost interest in Women's Tennis since Henin retired last year.

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
The only real story on the Women's side was Sharapova's strong comeback, if she continues to gain strength before Wimbeldon she has to be a favorite to go deep. Safina looked like she might actually deserve number one early on, but I don't know, she just doesn't have it in finals.

 Re: The Tennis Thread - French Open '09
1) Laver - He won 2 GRAND SLAMS(when you had to win all the 4 to call it grand slams). I think there was a period when Laver did not play slams bcos professionals did not play slams. That was 5 years (63-67 at his peak). I think he would have won > 20 majors but for that.
2) Borg - He won French open 6 times and Wimbledon 5 times. Contrasting success makes it better than sampras/federer.
Federer will be ahead of sampras if he wins tomorrow. I will put him above borg if he wins another 3-4 majors after french open. But he will never be the GOAT unless he wins true GRAND SLAM.
