Running tennis thread 2016 / 2017

Never really liked Roddick but he did win a Slam, 32 tour titles and he spent a little time at No. 1 in the world. He spent the better part of a decade in the top 10 and was on the winning Davis Cup team in 2007. Probably a Hall of Fame resume.

 

Agree.

 

After the Bryan brothers get in for doubles, and hopefully they will given all they've done, there might not be another American man inducted for a long, long time.

 

I don't know if they'e softened it, but I believe there used to be a requirement that you needed to win at least one GS event. Roddick, compared to some of the classes in the past 10 years, is a pretty good candidate.

Eligibility & Voting Process

 

Not impressed. As Roddick himself said:

“It’s really, really hard for me to look at myself in the context of the people that are in the Hall of Fame. I feel like they are Michael and I’m Tito. Tito got to play some pretty cool venues, too, but it’s weird for me.”

Tito ain't a Hall of Famer.

 

Tito was too busy getting Michael some tissue.

 

My prediction is looking shaky. Coco wins the first set 6-4.

 

And she's up a break in the second.

 

OK, I'm now on the Coco bandwagon. She bageled Muguruza in the second set. Wow.

 

She sounds like a loose cannon in the on court interview. But I like her game.

 

Yes, sorry about that, I meant Kerber.

 

One major. Thomas Muster? Pat Cash? Del Petro?

Hey then Capriati's got to get in right?

When's David Toms going in the golf HOF?
