Bit of fun.... (borrowed it from another forum)

Which rock/pop star would be your reflection of the Big 4?

Nadal...
Djokovic...
Murray...
Federer...


My picks:

Nadal... Bob Dylan
Djokovic...A young Iggy Pop
Murray... Chris Martin (Coldplay)
Federer... A young Paul McCartney

Ah, you have Nadal as the GOAT! Quite right, too.

Nadal: Bruce!
Djoker: Paul Weller
Murray: Sting
Federer: Marti Pellow

Well, if we have to do the Fab Four, then Fed is Macca without a doubt, and Murray is Ringo. I would put Rafa as George--the quiet one who is sharper and more talented than given credit for. Nole is the most like Lennon in my view--mercurial at times, brilliant and funny.

Nadal-Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
Murray-Dave Gahan ( Depeche Mode)
Federer- Joe Perry (Aerosmith)
Nole- Jagger

Call me old fashioned and nostalgic, but there's been only one "rock star" in tennis and that person is BJORN BORG! There's been no other that I can think of and may never happen again! In basketball you've had a few with Jordon, Magic, and now LeBron, but Borg transcends them all worldwide! He's been retired for 30 years and we're still talking about his accomplishments! What other tennis player can do that; maybe Laver due to 2 Grand Slams? The most knowledgeable still pause before moving off of Borg! He's the only one I can put in this category; even for fun!

Disagree brother...there was only one TRUE rockstar in tennis and it was VITAS GERULAITIS...He actually played in a rock band, drove a Rolls and a Lamborghini, partied pretty much every night. He was the ultimate playboy of the tennis world. Borg looked the part, Vitas acted it.

When I was a young kid, there was a magazine named SPORT.. there was an article about Vitas and his lifestyle.. it said that Vitas would "have happy time" with a snake if it had legs:snigger
