Only a matter of time I guess would be great if they all ended up with the same numbers. i know it won't happen, but i think that would be a fitting end result to 3 great playing careers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very much a smug, arrogant dude no doubt. Good reason I suppose in the sense of what he accomplished, but not someone I'd want to hang out with lol. Actually coolest tennis player I have ever met is Andre Agassi. Now he's just an extremely nice dude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Pete Sampras were a couple of my sporting heroes when I was growing up. Every time they played it was an event. I tried to play tennis in my youth. My serve was pretty solid. Other parts of my game...not so much lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old enough to remember Borg like it was yesterday too, long time ago but I seem to remember he looked unbeatable at times. It's a sport I'd rather watch then play and I'm not that bothered on watching the mens at all.rrally apart from Federer Nadal. Prefer the ladies way more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 If she never won another match in her life she’s still achieved something fantastic … but from what I’ve seen of her I think she will comfortably win more slams , it’s been a whirlwind few weeks for her , with lots of attention and hype , she looked grounded enough to deal with all that long term though . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think winning the second one will be the hardest. It may not come as soon as people expect but she will be a multi-slam winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the decision to immediately sack the coach though. Especially if she hasn't got a new one lined up to come in. Seems an odd and rushed decision.

Previous was an LTA coach wasn't he, who was also a teacher up til not that long ago iirc.

Agree, she will definitely win more. Sometimes as fans we just see the athlete and forget the human side. Yes she had a nice run at Wimbledon but I’d hazard a guess that outside of the tennis bubble most brits wouldn’t have been able to pick her out in lineup prior to the US open, and suddenly you wake up and your face is front page news around the world. I agree with your point that she seems grounded enough to deal with that, but it must be difficult initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Sounds like its the end for Federer. Won't be back until summer 22 and will miss Wimbledon. I can't see him coming back after this as he will be 41 next year. It's a shame if he can't go out playing on court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
