My friend Aleksey Vayner (he posts here occasionally) took a set of Fed in a practice session. I'd imagine that any other 2+2er who can can string together a few 140mph serves down the T wouldn't have much of a problem taking at least a couple sets to tiebreaks.

For some reason this seems ridiculous.

Nick,
Is PA aware of our unhealthy fascination with him?

If he is, what does he make of it?

[/ QUOTE ]

unhealthy?

Hey Nick can you beat Ryan M? Did you carry him in doubles and did he grow any. When I played him in the juniors he was almost a midget. I never thought he'd be big enough to be a great player but someone told me he played #2 for the national championship team. Can you beat Adam L. or are you guys to big a gap in age to have played?

BTW best poker playing tennis player is Pete Sampras hands down. Although I did see him last year in an ex. match and his return was bleh and he couldn't close the net worth crap and was constantly hitting his first volley a step behind the service line.

surely a hustler like you must've had inside info on USC sports. Did you win any decent bets.

Do you have any insider info on futures/challengers matches and on what site can a US resident bet on challenger matches (or are the limits so low it's not even worth the time)?

Nick,

In a typical 5 setter, how many games would you expect the average 2+2er to be able to take from Roger Federer? Also, how many games do you think you could take from him?

[/ QUOTE ]

a better question is how many points. And that is determined solely by how many times Federer double faults.

Ryan Moore and I were ranked #1 in the country 2 years pre season and were NCAA finalists our sophomore year. Not to mention 3-time all americans and NCAA team Champions.

I am fairly certain Ryan Moore owned you all throughout juniors. And why dont you grow some balls you [censored] and post your real name.

Yeah the average 2+2 would have a hard time winning 10 points in a 3 set match against Roger. In my prime I am sure I could have gotten 2 or 3 games. lol maybe 1 or 2. He is so good.

QFMFT. The rest of the world just doesn't understand how good this guy is. In sports there are arguements about how X would fare against Y in his prime. Well anyone who knows tennis knows Fed stops every great champion in his prime. It's the only sports arguement where I can say without a doubt who wins.
