Has anyone won all four and the Olympics apart from Agassi ?

Monica seles prime time opponent in ladies in 1988. Not anybody in mens i recollect other than Agassi.

Tennis was not an Olympic sport from 1928 through 1984 (except as a demonstration sport in 1968 and 1984); therefore, many top tennis players from the past never had the chance to complete a Golden Slam. Nevertheless, even with tennis on the Olympics, a Calendar Year Golden Slam could not have been accomplished by any player except Maria Bueno (1960) and Martina Navratilova/Pam Shriver (1984).

The most important thing was he was only staring at a break point opportunity in his serve only once and in the third set. This is how you play big matches, Serve big and serve big consistently. 14 aces for a three set match is good. I would love to see higher number of aces in big matches.

:yes:
I am of the opinion that even if it had been Nadal in the final, Federer would have probably won and his serving was one of the main factors.

- From the second set onwards

ATP - GERRY WEBER OPEN, HALLE


Dear fans

I am sorry to announce that I have decided to withdraw from this week's Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany.

I sincerely apologize to the tournament organizers, my competitors, and my fans in Germany. I only hope they will understand that I still feel emotionally overwhelmed and exhausted by the incredible events of the past few days. It is hard for me to admit, but I simply cannot imagine giving my best effort in another tournament right away and I don't want to risk injury if I am not 100% prepared. I need to rest and recuperate.

I look forward to returning to Halle in 2010 to go for my sixth title. It is one of my favorite events on the ATP World Tour.

I also want to thank all of you for your unbelievable support these past two weeks. You are the best, and you helped me make a dream come true.

Roger

Bala,

okok. The first set was very impressive of the three actually. You missed it.
