hier ein interessanter kommentar von ivan lendl über rogers dominanz im tennis:
The last time I played for pleasure was 10 years ago," he said -but he keeps up with the sport. He thinks Roger Federer is playing the best tennis ever. He was not surprised by this week's news that Federer had tied Connors' record of 160 consecutive weeks with the No. 1 ranking.
"I'm not sure that's news," said Lendl, who held the No. 1 ranking for 157 consecutive weeks from 1985-88. "He might have all the records before he's done."
Don't, however, try to tell Lendl it was tougher in his time than it is for Federer now.
True, Lendl's losses in Grand Slam finals came against the likes of Connors, McEnroe, Borg, Wilander, Becker and Cash. But Federer's dominance, he said, has nothing to do with an absence of fitting foes.
"He's just so much better than those other guys," Lendl said. "If he wasn't there, you'd have four or five guys with four or five majors. But he gobbles them all up."
bin übrigens 100% seiner meinung. wäre roger nicht so dominant, hätten wir jetzt auch einen roddick und wie sie alle heißen, mit mehreren grandslam-titeln ... aber da steht halt JEMAND dazwischen
