Oh the fire still burns alright.  Tarango had the best (or worst, depending on how you look at it) tantrum in the history of tennis, calling an official 'the most corrupt official in the game', and having his wife slap the guy after Tarango's profanity laced tirade cost him the match.  John McEnroe is a gentleman by comparison.

Point well taken about Nadal.  However, it's probably best that you didn't bet against the Fed.

TSN in Canada showed highlights of last year's Wimbledon final, as opposed to showing live coverage of the Roddick-Murray semifinal.  To amuse myself, I went to the ATP website and watched the live coverage online.     Only one word comes to mind:  Idiocy.

It shouldn't come as a huge surprise that this is happening, as people on this board have been predicting for a couple of years now that Nadal's body would wear out eventually from his style of play.  The guy is a grinder out there, and it's going to be difficult for him to get match tough again during the hardcourt season, as the hard courts ...

Interesting that this year is 10 years since Andre Agassi won the French Open and completed the Grand Slam package, cementing his stature as one of the all time greats in the game, and later added to that status by winning 4 more Grand Slams.  This year may be the year that Federer does the same thing, effectively putting an end to the GOAT ...

Now that Nadal is out, Federer might be the favourite to win this event.    To borrow a line from Redhead: The King is dead, long live the King.

Obviously you're talking about Johnny Mac.  This was during a period where he wasn't playing, and he didn't take it before playing any big tournaments, as far as we know.  I don't think the ATP drug rules are any stricter than the ones at the Olympics, and quite frankly I'm glad they take it seriously.  The MLB didn't have strict ...

I apologize if people find this message somewhat irrelevant in terms of what is happening in the tennis world, but what is with the new design on the site?  The link to the 'message boards' has been replaced with 'follow us on twitter' and the only reason I was able to find this again was due to a link at the bottom of one of redhead's ...

Let's not forget Ivan Lendl, who took up Golf after his bad back prevented him from playing professionally.  I hope everyone got a good look at him in the early 90's the last time he was on a Tennis court, because it's highly unlikely he'll ever play on the senior circuit.  He has 3 daughters who all took up Golf as well.

Agassi holds an 11-0 record against Wayne Ferreira.  He used to give the guy fits back in the day when they were both playing on tour.  I think he also has a winning record against Todd as well, and most of Martin's wins over Agassi occurred pre 1998.
