I'll live! It'll hurt for a while, but will get over it! It wasn't like Nole didn't have a chance; he did and didn't push forward as he had against Murray and Nadal! I just didn't see it even when he took 1st set! I felt about the same when Navratilova went down to Evert in both finals of '85 & '86, but at least Martina owned 2 titles from '82 & '84 schooling Chris in the last one! :angel: :dodgy:

You've had so many favorites you're kinda used to it now, eh?
There aren't many I enjoy watching these days; esp. on the ladies side! With Radwanska floundering, I have no woman to root for! The men's game had a problem with just Fed and Nadal, but these are great times with the guard changing just a bit, but not ready to anoint Stan to the ranks!

No one does it better than me! Thirty years ago I would be arguing for Laver and Court! It's all changed and they're barely footnotes with calendar year Grand Slams listed under their resumes! I still pound the table for Navratilova even though a couple players have more single majors! Her BOX Set is something I can't see being equaled: EVER! The true love of the sport with a desire to make history was in abundance in her and it may have undermined her attempts; exhausted a lot of the times playing every event each major! Mentally and physically that had to be draining and I'm sure it cost her a few of those matches in singles; esp. at the FO finals in '85, '86, & '87! :nono I would have happily turned the GOAT moniker over to Serena if she had taken the sport a little more seriously! She lost a lot of years with outside interests and not really "working" for it! How many times have commentators lauded her for "playing herself into shape" during a run at the AO? Have we ever heard of such a thing in a top pro? :cover :dodgy: Right now, Martina continues to reign supreme IMO and still wins it seems; played with Clijsters and won the Legends' event at FO! :clap Federer still has my support as the GOAT even though I believe this is NOLE's time and look forward to him winning more!
