Battle of the Tennis Players

[Sanz]

Budge and Laver. Rosewall unfrotunate to come against the giant so early.

 

[Mister Wright]

Cash & Laver

Cash and Laver.

 

[Burgey]

Budge & Rosewall.

Laver the immortal, but I can't get over Rosewall being in a Wimbledon final in the mid-50s, then again in the mid-70s. Unbelieveable longevity - top 20 for 25 years!!!. Not worthy of a 0, 0 drubbing IMO.

Cash, Laver

absolutely...ridiculous that someone like pat cash has more votes than rosewall...

His opposition isnt Rod Laver, so fair enough imo.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Laver 4-0 4-0
Budge 4-0 2-4 0-0 - third set runs until 15.45 UTC (eight hours from now)

 

[Mister Wright]

Cash

 

[The Sean]

Budge and Laver.

Cash vs Budge is like Dean Jones vs Wally Hammond. Really shouldn't be close.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Budge. Think voting for Cash is taking national bias too far.

 

[Goughy]

Tough draw for Rosewall . Budge and Laver.

 

[grecian]

Budge, in the decider. Agree with The Sean and Brumbers on this battle.

 

[Mister Wright]

Cash's record doesn't reflect his ability. He was severly cut down by injuries, and matched it with the best when he was at the top. He had some classic encounters with Wilander (sp) and Lendl to name a few. Was a wonderful effort to win Wimbledon and he did make two Australian Open grand finals and was the first modern patriarch of Davis Cup for Australia.

not really, whatever cash has accomplished pales in comparison to budge's career achievements...

i liked him as a player and rooted for him in that '87 wimbledon final vs lendl, but there were quite a lot of players who were better than him during that time...
