YWRRF PostsTo be Cont'd:
Actually he speaks the other way.
He feels that the grass hasn't slowed much(:shock: ??) and he says that players these days are playing more from baseline so we get a lot of rallies.

This is the 1st question I selected to answer: Suzana Knezevic at 6:26pm June 30 What do you plan to do when you stop playing tennis and retire???
Dear Suzana- When I stop playing tennis, which I hope will not be for a very long time, I plan to dedicate a lot of time to my foundation. I will also get involved with some businesses I enjoy and try to continue to give back to tennis. I will also try to catch up with my family and friends that I don’t get to see very often and I will make sure I am a great Dad and husband.
But, I don’t like to think about life after tennis as I am enjoying the sport so much now and don’t see stopping anytime soon.
This is the second question I selected: Laura Polding at 6:40pm June 30 1. How do you feel about the new Centre Court roof?
Dear Laura- I think the new center court roof is great. The AELTC was able to keep the old, traditional elements of center court intact and add a very modern element..the roof! Tennis has become so global and it is now great that many of the fans who come on site to watch the tennis and the millions of fans around the world can watch live tennis all the time.
I have not yet had a chance to play a match under the roof, but I am excited to do so in the future. The days of rain delays are now over!
Final question as I have to hit the sack now: Allison Wilson Ogden at 6:59pm June 30 Hi, i am a national level tournament player in the 12s. What do you think is the most important part of my game to develop at this age. This is my moms fb page. Michael Ogden
Dear Michael-Obviously, passion is key, coordination is important as well so to also mix in different sports is a good idea. But keep an eye on what you could improve physically already and see where your potential is so you can work on your weaker points for later in your game. I always thought having a long term goal is important as a junior.
Having good support from coaches is important and they will help you lead the way. I know that it is a cliché, but there is no substitute for hard work and dedication. This is vital.

I think even Pete would have found it little tough to win Wimbledon (even if was in his prime) the way it is today.
Omega, that's my feeling, too. But thalaivar slow illai-nu solraare...

Federer hits the net 3 times and wins the point
Some destiny :)
Beat this
Should Fed make the finals, he will be the FIRST EVER TO REACH 7 FINALS at wimbledon. Neither in the open-era nor before has anybody reached seven wimby finals on a trot
THis also includes Willaim Renshaw who reached (or present) only six finals on a trot.
Hail Fedex should he beat Haas.
Records coming soon
I had never thought about this.. If Federer wins Wimbledon he ll create the following records:
1) Most grand slam titles(15).Currently tied with Sampras.
2) Most grass court titles(11).Currently tied with Sampras.
3) Most grand slam finals(20).Currently tied with Lendl.
4) Most years winning more than one GS(5).Currently tied with Sampras.
5) Holding grand slams on 3 different surfaces simultaneously(USO,FO,Wimbly).Currently only Nadal has that record.
6) As a bonus, he will regain the no.1 ranking!!
Talk about killing six birds with one stone Go Fedex!!
