Judging by those titles and his records, i think he should be named the greatest ever in ITST's history. Or at least in TS 1 PC.

by **mcfed** » Mon, 06 Jul 2009 10:26

He is not named there as he is still an active player. And it would be too much work to edit the number of titles time and again

This post is non-sense. Of course that when the time arrives he will be on the Hall of Fame so it's non-sense this post. On the other hand also no-one guarantees that, for example, Pahel, or Ced or Fred Belin would come back and play again but anyway...

All signs point to RaFa one day being inducted into the ITST Hall of Fame (it would be hard to overlook a career mark of 271-16). Older players however are considered first. With American baseball, for example, players have to wait five years (after they retire) before they are even considered for the Hall of Fame - doesn't matter how great they were. That said, I'm sure RaFa won't have to wait five years. :wink:

Please put Rafa in the Hall of Fame for life, as my gold benefactor money went to all the trophies he won via ITST. :shock:

I share the same sentiments. Yet, Ole Fed is right. He cannot be put here until he officially retires (like Fred Berlin and the likes). Only until then, he will receive the highest honor of any tennis game made in history!! :wink:

Ey Pablo! Thancks for yours words... For remembering of me, thanks to all them wrote, and... Morgan, is really difficult to leave this game... Sometime I surprise the tour and the competition recovers :wink:

Welcome back Rafa!
