so is roger tied with sampras with 7 wimbledon titles?
 
this wimbledon is going to be quite special if roger can get into the final.
 
what a year: nadal going for his 8th RG crown and roger for the 8th wimby title.


Yes Sir.  Federer already has a record 8 finals, but remains tied with Sampras and the ancient (1880's) William Renshaw for 7 titles.  Though it's difficult to really count Renshaw as he got direct entry to the final after winning the previous year 6 times while the rest had to go through the draw.
An eighth Wimbledon title would put Federer at the top alone.  If he wins one more US Open, he'll also be alone at the top in the Open era with 6 US Open titles.  Big Bill Tilden won 7 US Opens back in the 20's tying a couple of other ancients.

Nadal already is alone with 7 Roland Garros titles, but I'm sure he wouldn't return an eighth trophy... :)  If he hadn't messed himself up health-wise, I think he could have had 10 by the time his career is done, but as we've discussed, he's brought it on himself.  So he'll have to be happy with what he has, which is enough for anyone anyway... :)

Respectfully,
masterclass


When we're talking about Renshaw he had eight finals also. He won his first six 1881-86, then didn't defend his title in 1887, but then won a seventh title in 1889 after going through the draw for the 2nd time, and lost the final (which he had direct admission to) in 1890. I do not count this achievement as superior to Sampras' seven finals, worlds apart, just thought I'd get the record straight.

It's quite an era we're in now. Every slam has record setting potential. Another Federer/Djokovic win in AO would be a record for the open era. Another Nadal RG win improvement of his own record, and a Federer W/USO win would break the open era tie or indeed, in the case of W, the all time tie.


:) eh, Sir Markus, I barely count many of W. Renshaw's wins given his automatic bye to what was technically called the "Challenge Round", which came after what was called the "All Comers Final" (the finalists from the main knockout draw).  So, I'm certainly not going to count his automatic bye challenge rounds as any kind of record setting achievement with respect to a true knockout draw Finalist. :)  But this is all getting to be a bit pedantic for my tastes. ;)

Anyway, if one looks at this wiki page, one can see an example of what I mean.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1882_Wimbledon_Championship_%E2%80%93_Singles    William's brother Ernest won the All Comers Final, which earned him the right to play defending champion William in the Challenge Round.

Respectfully,
masterclass

general freaky i have a new assignment for you: :)) :))
 
a sig contest for next month. i think we should consider a friendly sig contest for the month of march.
 
we can try it and see how it goes. all that will be needed is a simple sig contest thread where people can vote for the sig they like the best.
 
it would take less than 2 seconds to vote. everybody can vote obviously. it does not matter whether you have a unique sig or not. you are allowed one vote. you can vote for your own sig or you can vote for somebody else`s sig.
 
and if people like then we can try it again in a few months.

first we would need a thread here. it will serve as a general discussion thread for sigs and also it will serve to determine who will be entering the sig contest. lets just say that we need a minimum of 10-15 people for the contest.

it may get more people involved with sigs. sigs make the forum more colorful and more fun.

sigs can also be a recruiting tool. more and more people are checking out the forums here. sigs make it a nice experience for them.

Thanks General Hercules... 

I have to say I'm not happy with clay warrior.  As you saw from my news and pics, even now that Nadal is playing tennis again, he is playing in a poker tournament the day before Acapulco starts. Oh well, I guess he looks happy playing poker.  But he has all the time in the world to play in poker tournaments once he is retired... I must say I don't get it.

Respectfully,

Damn. They have the best streaming this week  :\



as i suggested, i see recruiting possibilities in this deal: i think sigs make our forum more colorful and also more interesting. they also get people more involved in the players they support.

and since we are getting as many as 65-67 guests here at the chat section alone at any one time, we are enhancing their browsing experience. it also lets them know about the various players we support. there is no telling how many total number of people are visiting every single day.



and one does not have to have players in their sig anyway but it turns out that most do.



some people will step foreward and ask us to make them cool sigs while other will start creating them for themselves because of the contest.

we go with the current ones that we have.

i say we shoot for 10 people and but let them know that we need 15 to have some fun with it. more people getting involved would mean more fun.

also you do not need to have a sig of your own to vote.

you do not need to enter the contest in order to vote.

anyway we can try out the idea. we would need such a thread right here at the chat section.

finally you do not need to have a sig with players only. emma may have a sig with marilyn monroe images for example.

well now you know why he looked fat, slow, and terrible in chile and brazil general MC.
 
players figured out really fast that he was fat and could not move well. they were drop shotting him at will.
 
nadal does not realize that he will soon have 65 years to drown himself in his poker and his golf.
