"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"
Come on where did I say the 'national' interfere in terms of quality? For quality, top seeds. It's given more credence adn prestige it deserves because one represents the nation. I have said as much about World cup. That this prestige will never be topped by CL. All once in 4 years just elevates it. Same applies to Olympics. Let me know where I haven't been consistent here.
To me, CL/GS >> WC/Olympics, but now Olympics in Tennis is a huge ordeal. And it's second only to GS.
Gone are days when the US guys set a bad example (even JMac who has now jumped into the bandwagon) because of lack of huge sponsorship revenue.
As presupposed leap of faith on Borg/Nadal, my writing might have been contorted, but the point is pretty well made. And contrast to this generational s & v sophisticated regeneration that I'm optimistic about. Nothing much of a 'faith' here than 'fact'.

Key here is that he immediately went in, to refresh and shower himself, saved us from a breakdown. But it's a blow. Then again, he still has a chance in 4 years time, but I expect Omeha to twist it and read it as he pleases.

single handed back hand agagah.
The backhands were just out of the world...Absolute joy to watch....Already excited for the USO
One thing you need to realize that Federer's backhand has been significantly improved because of the slow courts and for the reason all the players targeted at his backhand. For example Sampras did not need those because courts were fast. I also agree that Federer is the one player I can think off who could have played very well on all the eras with his current game but other need to improvise to suit their different eras though. As a matter of fact this is easily the worst era to play for Federer's game and we all know how well he is managing this era.

Federer has best tie-break record ever in the history.

If parameters are such that only RED & GREEN matters followed by 5 rings & ITF event, then I concede hands down Nadal is the best in the planet (ethukku vambu, galaxynu potturuvom)...
My parameters (as a tennis fan) are way different.
