    Hahhaah Federer had one of the best tennis coaches of time for his first 6 years on tour... WOW

    not even close to the same thing


    Tsonga is the top 10... ONLY because of his enormous talent. Tsonga is way more talented than Murray and Nadal...( yes talented than both).. Tsonga does not put the work in that those players do, Tsonga is content with getting his BIG check and not reaching his potential.

    Tsonga is 6'2 and 200 that is too FAT, for a male tennis player... he needs to drop 10-15 lbs, and work on his return on service. His mental game is so much better than the other frenchmen, he beat Federer at Wimby from 2 sets down... and is the only player to beat the big 4 at a major...( Murray in the 2008 Aus. Open 1st round).. (Nadal at the 2008 Aus. Open semi).. (Federer at the 2011 Wimby QF)... and (Djokovic at the 2010 Aussie Open QF)


    Tsonga is what Berdych used to be... a waste of talent, but Berdych started putting the work in, Tsonga hasnt even done that, and has already made a major final, and has won a master 1000 shield

    But you do make derogatory comments about gays and go out of your way to not be considered gay.

    Gay is NOT an offensive term. Homo is. As another poster has said - educate yourself.

    Also, why did you find it necessary to say that just because you watch women's tennis that doesn't make you gay ('no homo') like that is a bad thing? That in and of itself is an offensive statement regardless of the use of 'homo'.

    racism: Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race.

    why it is almost impossible a black person to be racist against asians, hispanics or whites?

    Racism= POWER

    Your race is high enough on the social ladder where you can deny others a chance to work or promotion because of their race. Supremacy... the ability to jump and beat up a black man, and then call the police on him. RACISM EQUALS POWER

    blacks other than our athletes and a handful of doctors dont have much.. and im being honest

    Has anyone ever wondered why in Skyrim the Nords never seeked help from the urban tribes? No one has ever heard of the Redguard having problems with Dragons...

    Just saying.

    Glad that Roddick is out of tennis. I never liked him, and hated the way he was a little baby whining about stuff. He had a good work ethic near the end, and that impressed me, but the way he lipped off about Novak at the US Open a few years ago, I was very glad when Novak spanked him at that open.

    To the guy who can only name Tsonga and the Williams sisters as black tennis players, you must not have been watching lately.

    Monfils, Sloan Stephens, Donald Young, Arthur Ashe, James Blake, MaliVai Washington, Zina Garrison (who was from Houston none the less), Yannick Noah, etc.

    Tennis wants the best athletes they can get because it's good for the game.

    You're a fan of non-black tennis players? How white of you.

    It's cool for you to like whoever you want. I was just pointing out that there have been and are other black tennis players. It isn't like any group is excluded from tennis.

    Tsonga is more talented than nadal who happens to be the greatest clay court player of all time. What do you define as talent? He isn't faster than nadal and he can't make some of the crazy shots nadal can. He can train all he wants he ain't beating nadal consistently.

    Nadal is all heart, HE EARNED his majors.. the talent is there with his HEAVY topspin, but he is not more talented than Nole, Berdych, Murray, or Tsonga.. He just works harder.. and has Lebron James like stamina... to this day i have never seen Nadal tired in a match( Nadal should be accused od roids not Serena). Nadal can play in back2back 5 hours matches... on a REBOUND surface.. that is superhuman

    Nadal's game just matches up well with Fed, which is why Nadal is not more consistent in hard court tournaments. Nadal gets most of his ranking points in the clay court seasons
