Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic: The great rivalry

[volodya]

Still the best pure returner I've ever seen and one of the cleanest ball strikers ever. I don't care what anyone says about Novak, Rafa etc. Agassi wasn't hanging 15 feet behind the baseline trying to turn defense into offense. The guy was all over the baseline looking to crank returns off of even the biggest serves.

People don't appreciate how ridiculous this really is.

I still remember the very exact day i got into tennis bro. I watched aggassi choke up a set and a break to boris Becker at the semis Wimbledon. After that I found my dad's old wooden racket in the garage and just started absolutely wailing, like I saw on TV. Couple days later I got a better cheap racket, but I was still playing with myself. I'd open the garage door and lean plywood up against it with a foot open on each side and then try to hit "winners" thru dem spaces....man, to be young again! I got pretty good too.

I think later that summer he lost to sampras in the US open final.

That's hilarious. I was a huge Becker fan so that match was the lone bright spot in a long string of ass kickings. I'm glad Agassi got you into tennis. Better times indeed.

Speaking of Agassi-Becker, I might as well post this. I'm still not sure how true it really is, and Becker has denied it, but I'd never seen someone return Becker's serve the way Agassi did.

@Sweater of AV I'm just now watching this. IMO Stefi is beautiful, despite her larger than average nose.

What do you think about how prime Stefi/Serena would go?

Love Steffi. She was my favorite woman to watch. I've thought about how that would go before and I think Serena takes it more often than not. Serena poses many of the same problems that Seles did but she also had a much better serve than Seles (although I think Seles was better than Serena in other areas). It really comes down to how Serena is serving. If she serves well it's difficult for anyone to beat her and she would be able to really go after Steffi's backhand.

Style-wise, I actually would have loved to see Serena vs Seles. It's really a shame what happened to Seles. The Graf-Seles rivalry also had the potential to be one of the GOAT rivalries instead of a massive what if.

This gut literally can't have a normal conversation about any topic. It's actually really sad.

When double yellows gets embarrassed in numerous threads and slowly realizes he has nothing of value to offer besides memes and political flaming:

Yes, most guts literally can't have conversations. You are a can.
