10 szlemów a 16 to kosmiczna ró¿nica (a Fed pewnie jeszcze ze 2 dorzuci). Rafa tak¹ sprawnoœÌ mo¿e moim zdaniem utrzymaÌ jeszcze przez góra 3 sezony, a i tak jest ju¿ wolniejszy ni¿ by³ wczeœniej. Dopada go klasyczny "spadek szybkoœci" i on nic na to nie poradzi. Wyrównanie wyniku Samprasa jest mo¿liwe, ale Szwajcara nie dogoni.

Oj tak.!!!!

Mac wants Rafa to show a bit of ego



Serial egomaniac John McEnroe has called upon Rafael Nadal to back himself a bit more, with the American saying the Spaniard needs to lose the trademark modesty about the level of his game and career.

No matter how many majors he wins and no matter how long he stays atop the rankings, Nadal cannot stop praising rival Roger Federer, the player whom he continually calls the best ever.

Mac the mouth thinks it's time to stop all of that politeness, perhaps with the hopes of taking tennis back to the bitchy days of three decades ago when he and tennis streetfighter Jimmy Connors played as mortal enemies.

McEnroe, commentating on the BBC during Wimbledon, said he's "getting a little bit tired of (Nadal) continuing to downplay his chances."

Nadal consistently refuses to trash-talk Federer or even look ahead to a possible final next week with the world-beating Swiss who owns the record 16 Grand Slam titles.

"There is definitely an argument for him not only being the best player at the moment, but the greatest of all time," McEnroe said. "Rafa has won things like the Davis Cup and an Olympic gold medal (in singles) that Roger Federer hasn't, and he is right on his tail in terms of grand slam titles, too, so why can't he just say, 'Look, I'm the best'?"
