redhead:I'm sorry DMan1, can't go with the bet you proposed. I can see why, though, you'd be reluctant to pull the trigger on a straight-up Fed v. Djoko slam win bonanza in 2010. The Fed will play second fiddle to the boss from Serbia from now on. And I think Benneteau beating Fed is the bigger upset over Young v. Spadea, seeing that Young is ...

redhead:Oh, I like that a.hack, Serena being the Sarah Palin of tennis. Who has the better hair-do? Does that make Agassi the Jerry Brown of tennis? And, RP, that was a beautiful analysis of Serena, and it is true, what Richard Williams did, and of course the Williams sisters, will never be matched in any sport. I'd say the closest thing to it ...

redhead:Dobey, don't try to get in the way of important business here over whether it should be called a slam or a major. Major, anyway, is so golf it has to be called a Slam, not a Grand Slam, which is winning four slams. Anyway, RP, I like you're thinking, if T-boy wants to take his Rafa (but why the heck should he since Rafa has like zero ...

No.   Here are my terms:   I bet Novak Djokovic doesn't win 2 majors in 2010. Take it or leave it!    

Dobey   I'll second Redhead's Whoa Nelly comment. I didn't see the TC interview either. But I hope an interviewer never asks a player a what if, or a ''if you played so-and-so in your prime'' question. They are totally meaningless!   I mean how often do contemporaries play 35 matches against each other? Let alone 2 players from ...

redhead:I can't see Djoko as not being a guy who doesn't win at least five slams. I mean I don't buy that he's a three-set player rather than a five-set player. He is only 22 and his forehand has improved a great deal, as has his match play and serve. Now the fact that Federer tooled him at the US Open makes me hesitant to anoint Djoko the ...

Scoop:Two slams in 2010 for Djokovic is a bullseye. Even Dman and tommyboy will agree with that.   Here's what I think: there'll be 2 Slams in 2010 in which the Djoker ups and QUITS, retires. And completes the career Grand Sham!  You know what that is, don't cha? The Djoker retires mid match at every major: A Career Grand ...

Scoop:It would enhance your performance without question. WITHOUT QUESTION. Spoken from experience?  Or are you a medical expert? Pllease check Agassi's 1997 record and tell me how much it ....ahem.....''enhanced'' his performance! 

tommyboy:Watching Andre ask for compassion in his interview with Katie Couric was just pathetic.  It looked like some of the best acting I have ever seen from a non-professional actor.  He was taking an illegal, dangerous substance, that he tested positive for back in 1997; then he lied about the circumstances of the test.  ...

Yeah, so NOW she claims, 'oh I didn't have all the facts', and that's not what I meant.   Typical Martina. She can't help herself. the sound of her own voice keeps her ticking. And foot-in-mouth disease hasn't stopped her tongue from wagging. But Martina just couldn't wait to get her opinion out there ......she claims she is a ...
