Interesting to read about the 1977 US Open. Connors' cheating easily casts Nike draws and slow court spartan tennis propaganda into the shade. It's hard to even accept what Connors did as something that can happen on a pro circuit.

No change in behavior. High time ATP calls him out for his repeated shenanigans.

I agree with ajithfederer... It is high time ATP calls him [Fabio Fognini] out for his repeated shenanigans!

[ajithfederer]

Yes. damn you fognini..

How dare he question his highness the holiness naadar on his repeated shenanigans!!. Nadal must demand ATP not to schedule any more future matches with fognini. Fucking wuss.

Amazing win for Roger Federer to win his 1st Masters of 2015 & record 7th @ Cincinnati.
To do it @ 34 w/o being broken & losing a set is awesome.
I for one thought that he would stumble in the finals @ the hands of Novak going by how all their recent Finals (GS & Masters) have gone.
Incidentally Federer wins a Final @ Masters against Novak after 2012 Cincinnati.

The way he did, playing all court tennis being ever aggressive was the highlight.
His recent Charge & drive while facing 2nd serves was something we are seeing after a very long time.
That he did it to a reasonable success against all the players was even more impressive.
His return of serve was another area he showed tremendous improvement. Its amazing how he can use his complete repertoire in a fast court which is far & less these days.
Hoping for a good draw @ the Open...

I was at the Stadium yesterday to watch the final and it was great pleasure watching him play. He's been the best fast hard court player in the world for a while now. Its to his disadvantage that most of the courts are medium slow in the ATP circuit. And his backhand has never been this solid. Its become hard for players to make him commit an error on that wing. And the return of serves has been exquisite all week. Trolling at its best from Federer though with the service line returns......
