This is definitely having a negative impact on the popularity of the game.<BR/>I definitely concur to the fact that the only question regarding federer's greatness would be the quality of his opponents (except Rafa!!!!).<BR/>Steffi has played against the likes of some very great players in women's tennis like navratilova, sanchez vicario, seles, Jana Novatna (Can we forget the wimbledon final!!!).<BR/>Sampras too had his share of quality opponents like aggasi, ivanisevic, jim courier, marat safin...<BR/>Thanks for remainding about steffi!!!<BR/>I think one of your future blogs can talk about your opinion on the many IIT's that Govt. of India has approved. IIT's which don't even have a campus and don't even know in which city they will be located are starting classes from this academic year. Is this mere vote bank politics or is there a tinge of nehruvian vision which was the root cause for setting up these pillars of technical education? Also do blog about dasavatharam...:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-54932314867727006462008-06-14T23:00:00.000-07:002008-06-14T23:00:00.000-07:00anna kournikova too...;)anna kournikova too...;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-39400901260320770062008-06-12T11:11:00.000-07:002008-06-12T11:11:00.000-07:00Madhu,Thanks man :-)Cuckoo,Somehow, I have always ...<B>Madhu,</B><BR/>Thanks man :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Cuckoo,</B><BR/>Somehow, I have always liked watching serve and volley players; that's one of the reasons why I loved Sampras, Becker & Edberg. <BR/><BR/>Good to know that you are a religious follower of the game :-) Agassi is one of my favourites, even though he married Steffi :-( Boo hoo!!!<BR/><BR/><B>Shubhika,</B><BR/>Tennis is one game, where you have maximum following, even if there is no facility to play :-) Seles is good, but never used to like her, since I was always pro Graf :-)<BR/><BR/>As you say, Graf+Sampras is the best combo in tennis :-)<BR/><BR/>Yup, I am game for USTA :-)Praveen Krishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066449552055203870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-52508652501270327712008-06-09T08:02:00.000-07:002008-06-09T08:02:00.000-07:00Tennis = Graf + Sampras for me.

Watching Steffi Graf play was the best thing ever on TV. And yes I could never like Seles even though she was an awesome player for the simple fact that she defeated Graf. Sampras was a delight..Have always loved him. The game itself is so classy and I always end up getting hooke don to it with my fingers crossed for the person who I am supporting...<BR/><BR/>So praveen I hope this iyear we will be in new york for the US Open right!!!Shubhikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395240989402300030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-90750090831885383792008-06-08T19:25:00.000-07:002008-06-08T19:25:00.000-07:00Me too a tennis fan since childhood but I guess I ...Me too a tennis fan since childhood but I guess I can't write a post on it. :)<BR/><BR/>Steffi Graf was always numero uno. I don't know why but when I first saw a match of Chris Evert (some recorded match), I thought she was very beautiful !!!<BR/><BR/>Similarly, when I saw Ivan Lendl I instantly fell in love with him. LOL... <BR/>Now I try to think of any reason then probably he looked more Indian than others. :)<BR/><BR/>My other all time fav. Agassi, Boris Becker, Bjorn Borg, Federer, Nadal, Rod Laver, Billie Jean King... and the list goes on. I still love watching their matches if it is being telecast on some channel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-62583860076306695192008-06-08T14:12:00.000-07:002008-06-08T14:12:00.000-07:00dei..gk..gr8 job as usual...:Ddei..gk..gr8 job as usual...:Dmadhuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996823181186757896noreply@blogger.com
