Really.

You're mad, physically it's far tougher imo and in terms of skill it's a no contest.
So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

He's Ivan Lendl. That said, Lendl was competing against more quality

Really loved Lendl. Shame he didn't win Wimbledon.

Not a huge follower of tennis, but remember him winning a tournament once and being presented with a diamond encrusted tennis racket. Anyone know if that was a one off or regular competition?

Outstanding! What a match! The look on Novaks face during that game was brilliant. Like a man possessed :D

It looked like he thought he was beaten at one stage.

Nah, clearly one of the best, he had an easy run for a few years and hoovered up due to the lack of talent at the time.

Rubbish. Federer is no where near his best and still he is keeping up with these guys. At his best, well thats a different story.

He has that winners mentality now. Think his return on match point knocked the stuffing out of Fed

Unfair to Novak because it doesnt credit the vast improvements he has made...makes it seem like its all about Federer when in reality, Novak is playing at the same level that Federer played at in his best years.

But nowhere near his peak, which is sadly past him now. Still pretty amazing.

Truth hurts eh? He's a top quality player who had little competition at his peak, seems a bit convenient, he's been outplayed by Nadal for a few years now. He's taken advantage of the post Sampras era. Hell I think Stefan Effenberg would have torn him a new one. Seems like a nice guy and it's a real shame he's ended up such a loser. You're just blinded by your love for him.
