| Grsydney your such a tease. What do I have to do to win your heart ????? May we talk tennis now. There are some similarities in Lleyton and Rafa'a careers. Both grinders, baseliners. Not big servers. Excellent return of serve. The main concern here is that they got success at young age and then slipped by age 25-26 and faded quickly. Are we seeing Rafa after being number 1 in 2008-9 and having his most succesful year in 2008 in a slump! Will he remain there just as Hewitt appears to be. |

| I think this is the article http://www.tennisweek.com/news/fullstory.sps?inews id=6636251 While Sampras himself has bestowed the GOAT on Federer, he suggested today Federer must find a way to beat Nadal consistently in order to truly be called the GOAT. "Tough question to answer. I do understand the argument as being the best ever you have to be the best of your generation and he has come up short against Nadal," Sampras said. "I can see the point and it's hard to answer it. It's not done yet. Roger's careeer isn't done yet and he has to beat (Nadal) and he's got to beat him in the final of majors. In my book he is (the greatest of all time), but he has to figure this kid out. He has to beat him. You've gotta be the man of your generation. Roger certainly is the man of his generation, but he's got to figure out how to beat Nadal." |

| Actually Geoff, that is the opinion of Sampras also. Here is an excerpt of that interview I mentioned previously. "I do understand the argument as far as being the best ever. You have to be the man of your generation. He (Roger) has come up short against Nadal. I can see the point. It's hard to answer that. I don't know how to answer it.You know, it's not done yet. Roger's career isn't done yet. He's going to play Nadal a number of times over the next number of years, and he has to beat him. He has to beat him in the finals of majors. To be considered the greatest ever, he certainly in my book is (already that). But he has to figure this kid out. He has to beat him. He's lost to him a number of times. You know, you got to be the man of your generation. He certainly is the man of his generation; he just has to figure out Nadal." Man of his generation - sure GOAT - not yet |

| IYO. Not Sampras' opinion | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Apparently he doesn't ZB - he said that if he couldn't beat Nadal, he wasn't YET the greatest..... There is an interview with Sampras somewhere about this | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sampras pointed out that Federer’s record against Rafael Nadal is 7-14 (it’s actually 7-13). Or Rod Laver – had he been eligible to play Grand Slams during a six-year period in the 1960s when pros were barred from those events – “might have won 25.”Sounds like Sampras doesn't really think that Federer is the real greatest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
