Phil & Tiger are playing together in the first two rds next week at the open. I think Mickelson is going to win this year.
Nadal/Djokovich is tomorrow morning at the French Open. Should be a sick match.
I hope that Japaneese horse beats Big Brown and that assclown trainer.
Anybody care about any of this?

I think i will check out to see if Big Brown wins the Triple Crown. Never been a fan of horse racing but figure I watch it.
Who was the horse a couple years ago who was going for the triple crown but didn't get it?

That's gonna be an insane mob following Tiger & Phil. They are the two most popular players anyway. Shit is on prime time TV. I am way amped for it. Major Golf Tournaments are just below big fights for me when they turn out right.

agreed 100%
the third round charge of a contender on championship weekend is awesome. some always seems to make some kind of charge into contention
the charge on final day is amazing to me
next to a good ryder cup nothing beats grand slams

federer will beat him in the finals this time. fat mark my words.
I think Novak is going to beat both of them. But Raffy/Novak should be a Looooooong match. That bodes well for Roger.

Damn, Argentina crushed Mexico last night. Now I see why they are internationally ranked #1 in soccer right now. Messi is badass. Argentina looked good, and handled their business, even without Tevez. Oops, found the correct thread. Sorry.

I think the french has,is and always will be in rogers head,it's like he's two different people when he looking across at Rafa on clay,at least that's the way it seemed last year.

Casino Drive apparently stepped on a stone this morning & is limping. He will be a race day decision tmo after the jog him to see if hes favoring his leg. Looks like its all clear for Big Brown to make history.

Federer and Nadal will meet in the finals once again.
damn, the way nadal has blitzed through the draw cant be good for fed. nadal looks more dominant on clay this year than the 3 previous ones he won. but fed is the kobe bryant of tennis, the guy is a tennis geek so he might come up with somethin to solve the ass picker's riddle. war rfed!

Nadal is the GOAT on clay imo. Even better than Borg. The depth nowadays on that surface is crazy and he is simply unstoppable. Roger will win a set and that's probably it. I would like to see Federe win here and Nadal at Wimbledon.
Novak is the man on hard courts now.

Vilas and Wilander might be up there as well in fact Vilas IMO may be better than Nadal

True, it's just so much deeper now. But they were bad ass. I hated Wilander but the dude was as good as it gets for a brief stretch. Vilas was a little older by the time I started watching.
But they all lost at the French Open. I may be jumping the gun here. But 4 years without losing one match at like 22 or 23 yrs old is a hell of a start.

I hated Mats Wilander. He had zero personality. Good on clay.
Borg I hear was amazing, he was before my time. The most consistently good player I ever saw on clay was Ivan Lendl even though I hated his guts.

Everyone hated Lendl. I liked him. Jimmy Connors was god.
Borg was lightning fast and never made mistakes. Not much power, but they used wooden rackets then anyway so it's tough to compare.
