top players exchanging words ended with mcenroe-connors time i guess........did sampras, agassi, becker etc. ever have a go at one another during their playing times? i don't think so........you will be risking too much with such fights - your security, fame and stuff.......70s and 80s were different and come 90s the world changed a lot.......
tennis message boards would explode if today's top players exchange words like that.......fognini - robredo had a go at each other last year and there are some other incidents like that but it's seen only among lesser ranked players.......
