Fabrice Santoro today on the question:

"Q. Of all the players you named, could you single out who was the best in those four decades?

FABRICE SANTORO: It's always really difficult to compare generation. But when you look at McEnroe, was a genius on the court. What he was doing on the court was amazing. Uhm, but when you look at the matches, we were lucky to see in the past two years with Roger/Rafa, the big Grand Slam final we had, Wimbledon, here last year. When you look at Sampras. It's very tough to make a ranking.

But I will say that the best opponent I ever had is Federer. "

nice to hear..!

Blake is doing great against Del Po, they´re in the 5th set.
Nadal and Murray...easy wins, am i wrong or these two could meet in quarters?

Del Po wins in the 5th (10/8)

by **Saarbrigga** » Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:55

Yes, and shows he s not in best shape.

That means: He will go out in the semi against Murray or Nadal. In his best shape, he will beat Nadal in 10 matches 9 times on hard, but not in this shape.
Otherwise Murray will be always favorite against Del Potro on hard, styles makes fights.

If all players are at 100:

DelPo - Nadal -> Advantage DelPo
Murray - Nadal -> Advantage Nadal (mentally)
Murray - DelPo -> Advantage Murray

But it seems like Rafa and Murray are closer to 100 as DelPo is.

hey that Tomic is a very smart player, his style is not the typical one, he uses a lot the slice, shots with no power.........

yeah its a bit different. bet cilic was pissed to lose the 1st though.

LOL, then why is everyone so disgusted by Murray? Tomic is a much bigger pusher by your standard.

As far as i remember i´ve never said anything against Murray

Firstly Murrays attitude is the most annoying.
His play is also boring to watch, i think a reason Tomic is pushing is as he isnt strong enought to hit hard consistantly

Yeah, I noticed that too. Heck, Tomic is not even fast.
He keeps moving Cilic around, but he can't finish him.
If he's not playing a tall guy like Cilic, he would be crushed.
