The world #1 is there so what's the problem? We are constantly being sold the idea that Nole and Murray are the 2 best players in the world at the moment, but not at the box office it would seem.

^^That is because, as you well know, OLD man federer and OLD man rafa (with his rickety knees) are the present era's superstars nagline.
And shall remain so until they shake off their mortal tennis coils!
Even so they are only slightly down ticket wise from the year before so no harm done really
And in any instance when it offers up the possibilty of having less foaming at the mouth fedal groupies & their tiresome bickering in the stands, my mind naturally turns to the wisdom of the old maxim of `less being decidedly more`.
Particularly in this occasion ;)
And THAT, may i add, also can be applied to the endless amount of tacky posts copy & pasted from literary figures clogging up this site recently.
Eh Nadline?

"We are constantly being sold the idea that Nole and Murray are the 2 best players in the world at the moment.."

And no we` are not being constantly sold this, it is clearly the case for now.
The hype and the machinery is always for fedal, i mean who are you kidding?

^^^Bitter?

haha oh yes I am really bitter, its gnawing at my soul!!
No I am being realistic, I understand the way these things work.
And actually should too.
For the time being at least ;)

If you want to live in a fool's paradise, who am I to spoil your fun?

#The power of surprise

Rafa has won 108 and lost only 42 matches against the current top 10, a 72% success rate; like Serena, Rafa is the true #1.

ENOUGH WITH THE PROPAGANDA!
These sites are more fun when we can talk about tennis, not listen to your endlessly trite & cheesy promotion of Rafa!
Rafa will be the true number one if actually gets there..like Serena.
And to do that i think it might require beating Novak on more than a clay court somehow, or he clearly won't be the `True Number 1`.
Honestly nagline, lets not be getting ahead of ourselves here lol
or is it JAM TOMORROW?

"If you want to live in a fool's paradise, who am I to spoil your fun?.."

One other thing, do you actually have any fun nadline?
I would think that, being on TT 24/7 the way you seem to be, really is not the best way to have fun, not by a long shot. If it is for you then regrettably I would say its not me that's living in a fools paradise.
lol

Bury your head in the sand, then.

well, I will do then naglarina!

Recently Twinge? No, it's been that way for years. You could just start copy and pasting LOOOONG Murray interviews on Rafa threads to balance it out a little.

You guys have no heart. For 7 loooooooooooooong months Rafa fans have had to sit it out watching tournament after tournament go by without his participation and the opportunity to see his scintillating tennis - nothing like his inside/out whipped f/h crosscourt and down the line or his signature banana shot.

You should be happy for us that he has made such a spectacular return to the game. Even Federer is happy to see him back. The players are all happy to see his aura back in the locker room but their fans are seemingly hurting.

Have some heart, will ya!
