    Roger Federer

    Just had the honor of waatching probably the greatest Tennis player of all time. An absolute genius in his chosen field.Personally think Hewitt played alright,just lost to complete masterclass.

    Remi, did you see him live or on tube?

    I saw Federer play live in his first and second round match. Although he didn't play as good as he can he was brilliant to watch.

    Last night on the TV he just seemed to step it up another gear again. Hewitt played well, he had to go for everything otherwise he would've got smashed by even more.

    Federer is a freak, and one of the most humple people to go along with it.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

      Re: Roger Federer

      I've always thought that with his hand/eye coordination, power, fitness and will to win that Federer could have the greatest cricketer that ever played the game.

      The guy is a freak when it comes to ball sports
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        I just wonder what the 'other' think when they look over the net and see Fed. Must be devasting to the confidence. And then he is so jumble you can't even hate the guy. My favourite world sport player. Tiger was for a while, but he is in the 'interesting' catergory now. Federer has got to be the best world sports player. And anyone notice the cricket ball size diamond on his wife.

          Saw it live and yes he stepped it up in a major way. I just hope anyone besides Murray wins I can't handle the British press and their bandwagon hopping with this guy. Murray wins ''He's British'' Murray loses ''He's Scottish''.

            The Aussie press are just as bad if not worse. Case in point, Russell Crowe...he's 'our Russell' when he wins an Oscar but he's a Kiwi whenever he's involved in a pub brawl.

              True story.


              On the morning of the deciding race in the '83 America's cup the Sun newspaper had two headlines ready to run. One said "Australia 2 Sails Into History" and the other one said "West Australian Yacht Loses Race"

                  Did they have a church growing out of their ears or did they looked pissed on red wine?

                  Or did they look unwashed because the Vics and NSW have knocked off all their water?

                    How is it SA's water?

                    Isn't the Murray River filled from Vic and NSW sources ?.

                          Mate, I'm a Victorian living (temporarily) in Adelaide. It was a joke, Joyce.

                          Back on topic - best tennis player ever - you didn' see Laver, then?

                              Of course it does. Have you ever been to the Murray and not pissed in it?
