because of the difference in courts(speed, make), better strength and fitness regimens, vastly different equipment(racquets, balls etc), there is no definitive way to compare across eras especially the greatest few...hence the comparison of individual achievements...

Yeah, I got that bit...

Forgot the tennis was on, glad I jumped on here it'll keep me up late now.

 

[Johnners]

C'mon A-Rod!

 

[Son Of Coco]

C'mon Federer! Want to see him break Mr Personality's record.

Big effort to get back to this.

NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo

 

[Johnners]

Roddick

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

****ing hell. Look less smug you ****.

 

[pasag]

Wow! Amazing comeback from 6-2 down in the tie-break from Fed!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

That's the match. Wouldn't be surprised with 6-0 6-0 from here.

 

[Son Of Coco]

There we go...

Now it'd be entertaining if Roddick snaps something.

 

[vogue]

..well never... one set all...

 

[Son Of Coco]

****ing hell. Look less smug you ****.

Who Federer? You're joking aren't you?

 

[Johnners]

That's the match. Wouldn't be surprised with 6-0 6-0 from here.

Indeed

Huge miss on the volley at 6-5 by Roddick. Got very tight from the moment he went two mini-breaks up tho.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Now Federer flukes the second.

meh grass tennis

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

They should just award the trophy now.

 

[ohtani's jacket]

Roddick! Federer! That was the sublime and the ridiculous.

Roddick just went to the wrong end. Amazing.

 

[vogue]

That's the match. Wouldn't be surprised with 6-0 6-0 from here.

..bit pessimistic there ... have a little more faith in the guy!

 

[Xuhaib]

Watched Roddick lose enough times to Federer to know he had his chance and he bricked it into the second row of the crowd. I was OTT but he had (and still has) absolutely no chance in this match anymore as soon as he let it slip.

Wow.
