The Gays and Tennis, Part 166 -- Le Chemin a Paris

Rafa doing Rafa things.

Kekmanovic team or Wuud team?

Famoose ass.

Thanks, OP.

Navarro's rich father bought billboards of her to display on the roads to Indian Wells. I've hated her since.

Daddy also owns the Cincy and Charleston tournaments. Talk about going out of your way to buy your daughter's way in.

Daddy's not playing the matches, so I don't get your beef.

Damm

Mopsy mopped the floor with Legz+ 0 and 2

Mensik with a good win over (not so) Young Grigor in 3.

I've heard talk that he's the most talented of the young Czechs.

Wuud over Kek-man-o-vic.

Wuud got a haircut.

[quote] Wuud got a haircut.

Wuvley. Huh huh huh.

Navarro has had some good results.

Hoping for more gratuitous glimpses of Rafa ass.

Capybarass.

"Daddy also owns the Cincy and Charleston tournaments. Talk about going out of your way to buy your daughter's way in."

I totally agree, but the "pure" thing about tennis is that even if parents can get their kids in the door, ultimately results are objective - parents can't produce wins for their kids.

Who will inherit more Jessica Pegula or Emma Navarro?

Who will peg more - Xisha, Mary or Maria?

Sometimes I think Rafa signed that Saudi deal because he knows Mary won't be able to go there with him.

Tsitsipas back to doing Tsitsipas things. Losing to lower ranks. ω αγαπητέ

That made me crack the fuck up R18.

Who is the hottie in Humbert's box? He's such a hot DILF.

Struffi is on fire, he just took out the UGOAT in straights

My Big Blue Dutch Boy cooly dispatches the Demented Dane!

Davidovich Fokina lost another TB after being up by several points. He is such a headcase.

R24 it's quite entertaining to watch two nutcases do everything they can to lose to the other one.

I love Foki, but he's totally wasting his talent.

Rublev needs to go back to screaming and hitting himself if it means that he's going to play better. This neutered version ain't it.

Boss Daddy easily over Lil Sebastian

NUESTRO ALEJANDRO = CAMPÉON!

I will miss Danielle Collins's spiciness.

I will miss all that winning.

Paul already got broken by Cerundolo.

Is Paul really this bad on clay?

Ms. Collins still in it —3rd set.

Tommy will always have a chance in this match as Cerundolo is so damn inconsistent. Every time he breaks, he hands it straight back!

15 in a row for Daanielle.

Montgomery takes a set of Sabs!

Boss Daddy beating up a short king doesn't interest me. He faces Hubie next, another giant with a big serve. They've never faced each other on clay. Should be good...

Shapo's knee is taped so tightly that he basically swings that leg when he walks. That can't be good for the hip and lower back.

our dumb, sweet Tommy looks good in yellow

bye, Tommy :-(

....

Shapo's probably not going to win this match, but he looks good

[quote] but he looks good

And I’s good wrapper!

Who looks better today - A. Zverev or Shapo?

Willard or Scooby Doo?

Sacha is so handsome and sexy.

[quote]And I’s good wrapper!

I iz from da hood

What is going on......

Foki and Wubby are in love. Duh.

^ ”Challengers” is based on their timeless love story.

[quote] ^ ”Challengers” is based on their timeless love story.

"Love" is not just a score in tennis; it is a word for their challenge.

With that kit, Brat/Legz looks like Tweety Bird with the exception of his cap, armbands, shoes and socks and, of course, foundation makeup.

Tweety's toast.

Matteo.

Matteo is such a whore. And not even that good at casually showing off that watch.

Caveman Berretini hubba hubba.

Just watched the Fritz/Baez highlights. Daddy is such an awkward mover - sort of bowlegged or spastic or something. Because he's 6'5?

Cachin is so hot.

Nadal needs to just shave his head.

Looks like an arid garden.

(I wonder if hair growth treatments contain prohibited ingredients….)

Hilariously, Tennis Channel just cut from the match to a Bosley commercial for balding men.

Question to the poster still angry with Rune over stupid homophobic comments (or perceived to be) he made as a teen:

How do you feel about Nadal? He’s in bed with the Saudis… taking their money in a partnership… and they’re the definition of homophobic.

His Royal Hotness, King Pedro Cachin

Cachin claws back to take the second set!

God, that set was like pulling teeth. So many missed chances for Pedro! Amazed he got it over the line in the enbd.

Mery Xisca isn't paying attention, she's too busy with turkey baster talk

Xisca and Sister Rafa are bumping pussies.

Sad that Cachin lost, but happy Rafa won.

I wanted them both to win, lol.

Coco choked—yet again

Who has the hottest bod on the ATP Tour AND will be knocking out Rafa in the next round?

"ME!"

Collins team or She Hulk team?

Ons defeats Peppa in straight sets.

Rafa is still trying to get match-tough after his hiatus. He could likely be fatigued after today's match. He's gone deeper this tournament than his last. Progress at least. If Lehecka puts him out tomorrow, hopefully a deeper run at Rome (if he plays).

bye Peppa

Bow down bishes.

[quote]Collins team or She Hulk team?

I'm rooting for Danimal Collins because it's her last time playing Madrid. Also, She-hulk is a homewrecker who's dating (another?) married man (Georgios Fragulis)

Our Ever Fragrant Danielle Rose Team.

PERIODT!

On the rag? How would you know?

Felix wanders in to the round of 32 with a Mensik retirement. Granted he breadstick'd Mensik in the first set, so Felix was holding form.

It's the the round of 16 for Felix. Casper next.

Sinner won but was he limping? His movement didn't look great but I was only half paying attention.

J’adore Felix. I wish he’d find confidence.

Apparently Sinner injured his hip last week R78

Too much practice for Roland Garros…apparently doing an Eiffel Tower.

[quote] Apparently Sinner injured his hip last week

I’s do hip hop!

Danimal giving She-Hulk some…difficulties.

Hopefully Andreevabitch can take out Screamin' Saba.

Cachin is such a Nadal fanboy. It' so cute.

R85 it seems like Rafa is the favorite of the Big 3 for fellow players - with Fed being a close second.

R86 Novaxx =

Daddy takes out Hubie. Played consistently well all through the match. He looks like he's getting very comfortable on clay.

Shirtless Matteo.

Great straight sets win for Cerundolo over rat-faced scumbag, Zverev. Pummelling forehands and punshing drop-shots a-go-go!

Very happy for Cerundolo!

Struff must have an amazing and beautiful piece.

R92 "...AN ENORMOUS SCHWANZSTÜCKER!"

Cerundolo's coach is kinda hot.

Struff steals the second set with an ace, just fractionally on the line.

Spicy third set incoming!

Struff is hot. Great body

S0-40 down @ 3-5 and Struff refusing to go down! Great match!

FAA team or Wuud team?

Nadal team or Lehecka team?

Tippy Turtle team or Ons team?

Wuud and Lehecka Teams, por favor!

[quote]Tippy Turtle team or Ons team?

Iga will destroy either one, so...

I was wooting for Wuud, but great to see Felix back in full flow, and playing confidently.

FAA!!! This also guarantees he's seeded for the French Open.

Ons goes from winning the first set 6-0 to losing the third set 1-6.

Wow, Keys has never been strong on clay, so was this more a matter of Ons losing?

Good for Felix. He seems like a nice fellow, but he just doesn’t seem to have the killer instinct or wild self-belief or whatever it is that makes champions.

I think that Felix has modeled his demeanor on the gentlemen champions of the past: Laver, Ashe, Borg, Wilander, Edberg. Those players made their marks without all the showboating we see so much these days.

Lehecka cake!

Lehecka is stacked

I'm thinking he shaves his legs, and Rafa too?

Lehecka's shoe-string drop volley is out of this world

Boss Daddy

[quote]Lehecka is stacked. I'm thinking he shaves his legs

He probably shaves everything, his pits too

that's weird, but I guess body-builders do it, too

Lehecka wins in straights

bye Rafa

Lehecka has a much better ass than I expected at R107. Pity about his face.

Is Boss Daddy going to win this whole thing?

Are those his nips, or just moles?!

Whose, R116?

R111 duh

Boss Daddy looks great in his neutral color Boss kits. Nice that he's ditched the scoop neck blouses.

Gauff is auff. Honestly, I think she still hasn't completely gelled, despite the Slam win. She's always had a large range of play, thus can beat and lose to a wide variety of players. But, she really hasn't had a notable result in a while.

Not gonna lie. Boss Daddy new look is fucking hot but absolutely nothing is hotter than Lehecka

Seriously, Lehecka? Nice ass, I guess.

R122 he could get t.

Is the PTPA Ons’ own poison pussy? She has gone downhill since joining the executive committee of the PTPA.

Poison Tits Pussy Ass

I guess he has been working out (cough) a lot since R123 pic

Woobie Team or Carlitos Team?

Boss Daddy Team or Cinderello Team?

Carlitos and Francisco Teams... SI SEÑOR!

Holger fellates a bottle....and swallows!

Alcaraz choking. NID. He has played shitty all year.

Why couldn't Carlitos have played like this yesterday?

I wanted Struffi to go all the way!

If Carlitos loses, I think it's karma for the Madrid crowd. They were lousy last night. I totally get that it was a unique occasion - possibly Rafa's match in Madrid - but for them to react in total silence to some amazing shot-making by Lehecka was just 'not tennis' IMHO. Yes, you cheer and holler for 'your guy' but you also acknowledge the other guy's great efforts with polite applause.

Rublev demolishes Alcaraz in the third.

Woobie!

The Madrid tournament is rather shitty. Bring on Rome and RG

Sinner withdraws - probably wants to be sure he's in shape for Rome - Felix straight through to the Semis.

With Sinner, Alcaraz and Ruud out, it's anyone's to win. Francisco and Felix have a great shot at winning their first Masters 1000.

Boss Daddy FTW

She Hulk has a MASSIVE cold sore on her bottom lip.

THE DIRTY HOOO-ERRRR!!!!

hooooah!

Njet, is just little herpes

Ruud should not be losing to FAA, damn. I still think Ruud is the dark horse at RG. More than Meddy, Stefanos, or Zverev. Ruud is my fourth pick.

Boss Daddy serving for the SF

Ruud was the RG finalist last year. I'd hardly call him a dark horse.

Boss Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!

Disappointing from Fran. He had all the momentum in the third set.

He really needs to work on not losing focus in matches. He loses so many due to bad lapses in concentration.

....

Boss Daddy is only winning these matches because his obnoxious girlfriend isn't there to distract him. He needs to leave her in LA more.

Small Cat Team or Stacked Jiri Team?

Jiri team for a change of pace.

Jiri Team. I want him to go all the way.

Med. Definitely Med.

Crazy Legs Crane, Medvedev, loses the first set and retires with some niggle that was impeding his movement.

Will Jiri get to win one match in Madrid where he's able to properly celebrate?

He's now got Felix in the semis - definitely winnable.

I can imagine the ratings for the semis and the final....through the roof!

I hope Baby Meddy is okay. Though, better to be injured during the clay season than the U.S. hardcourt season.

Woobie Team or Boss Daddy Team?

Stacked Jiri Team or FAA Team?

Woobie Team - out of the pair he's more deserving of a second Masters 1000

Jiri (Eleison) Team - I'm happy to see the FAA revival, but am just too horny for Jiri's bod right now. Soz, Felix!

I think Boss Daddy is as deserving as Woobie of a second Masters 1000. And Boss Daddy keeps his cool.

Who is this female Tennis Channel color commentator?

Teams Felix and Andrey for sentimental reasons. Also on the Jiri HAF train, but for me Fritz is a dial tone. A nice dial tone, though.

Wublev team (but prefer the Daddy eye candy)

FAA team

Its come that time in a tournament that you want all of them to win their matches.

Thanks to the posting of “PP” on Gays and Tennis threads, every time I see PowerPoint referred to as PP in a work email I think of “Poison Pussy”.

New hottie alert. Karue Sell, a 30 year old, UCLA grad, in the Challengers

He appears old and used at 30…also, touting Ucla is not really “going on good” these days…if you read the papers.

The tireless work of DL tennis sleuths to discover and document hawtness is one of the great blessings in my life.

Carlitos out of Rome!

Big Jack D has taken on Wayne Ferreira as his coach.

Great choice seeing the transformation he achieved when he worked with Tiafoe. Jack's been losing a lot of matches from a winning position - Ferreira is just the guy to help deal with this.

Forgot link!

^^^^ great face pic of Big Jack

On Tennis Channel they were showing the last time Lehecka played FAA (AO last year) and it is very clear that Lehecka has been hitting the gym (or has put a lot of muscle somehow....mmmm)

What's Alcaraz's deal?

Lehecka in trouble with an injury already. This tournament has been a demolition derby.

At this rate, Novaxx have a cakewalk at Roland Garros.

What a strange tournament....FAA is the luckiest guy alive!

[quote] What's Alcaraz's deal?

Like what’s his deal?

Boy, what a mess in Madrid. Happy for Rublev, though, he needed a boost. Ruud must be kicking himself for losing to FAA.

FAA team or Wublev team?

Felix Team - probably a Walk Over at this rate!

Sweet

The men’s side of this tourney has been filled with injuries retirements and walkovers.

Sabalenka and Rybakina saved yesterday with a really good match.

Woobie Team or FAA Team?

I like FAA and won't be mad if he wins, but TWO walkovers this late in a big tournament?! He had nothing to do with it, but I still want Rublev to win under the circumstances.

you're right of course, R182 -- from purely competitive perspective

FAA had 1 walkover, 2 retirements. I can't remember that happening before at 1k event. I think the pressure has never been greater. The money has never been bigger, the calendar is packed, everyone wants to go to the Olympics and the Saudis are wrapping up a deal that will change the game forever. In the future, no one is going to care about "Masters", only the slams. That's what Carlos is focused on.

The appearance fees are bigger than the purse these days. Carlos scooped up 2m in S.A for a half hours work before he split 12m with Nadal to play a half- speed exhibition in Vegas. Who needs Rome? Or maybe he's injured or maybe he's the new Del Potro and not the new Nadal.

The Las Vegas thing is nauseating.

Is Seb Korda doubles specialist?

The Las Vegas thing was a classic exhibition. I don't see the problem with it.

$12 million is the problem with it

So, they're both headcases, so its a tough call. If their both playing their best I say Rublev takes it, but if Rublev psychs himself out, then FAA might have a chance he holds himself together (doubtful).

Not that anyone here cares but:

Svee-i-tek team or She-Hulk team?

She Hulk

Team Felix. Time to knock the teenage phenom/great expectations monkey off his back. Asterisk or not.

Felix team.

I may be the only Swiatek fan here, but I'm rooting for her tomorrow. But I like Sabs too.

Like with FAA/Rublev, I'll be happy either way. Which was how I felt with Fritz/Rublev. This NEVER happens! Probably because Djoko is already ruining the party.

At this point, Woobie stepping on court against Felix is definitely highly AYOR

Do you think Alcaraz lost against Rublev because he's injured, or because he played like shit, or both? I personally think both. He has said before he thinks about his injury all the time. I think it affects the play.

R196. Rublev also played one of the best matches I have ever seen him play

Jannik Sinner will skip Rome as well

Pornstache Thompson and Seb Korda win men's doubles.

It's double match!

Sinner isn't durable enough for clay court season. His particular style of tennis is effective on hard courts but he's always struggled on clay. He's going to have to bulk up (if he can) if he wants to go the distance at RG.

Svee

She

Svee

She

Lord, but Sabakenka’s game is unwatchable. All that caterwauling just makes me want whoever she’s playing against to win.

She needs to start losing points/games/sets/matches for hindrance. It's TOO much.

Ok—Iga …get your ass back on court.

GO ARYNA

Igar.

Is that jacked tatted backwards-cap dude in She Hulk's box the married man she's supposedly fucking?

[quote]Pornstache Thompson and Seb Korda win men's doubles

Pretty random win, it was their first time playing together. I've never heard of their opponents before (Behar/Pavlasek)

Svee.

That was a helluva women's final. It's a shame anyone had to lose.

Boo!

Saba is just so fun to watch. She meltdowns, then plays better than any woman ever, then meltdowns.

Svee is steady as always.

Really great rivalry. Even though Svee has the upper hand right now, it always feels like either can win the match.

Sinner's MRI showed an inflammation in his hip. Not surprised. During his last match, or maybe it was the match before, he was yelling to his team that he was in pain and asking them what to do. They told him to keep playing. That makes me wonder if his team perceives him as some kind of baby and were trying to push him through stuff. He had a knee issue in Monte Carlo, too.

[quote] push him through stuff

It's Struff.

How many times has the Tennis Channel repeated the Madrid men's doubles final today? Is it four?

Round of 16 would be like a grand slam win for any American at Roland Garros.

Luvly Lore and callipygian Mariano Navone meet in the Sardinia Challenger final

PP DOWN!

TsitsiDosa is no more!

Meryl Streep was less dramatic about the dissolution of an almost 50-year marriage that produced four children than Badosa and Tsitsipas will be about the conclusion of their dalliance.

Who cheated?

Sara Sorribes Tormo and Cristina Bucșa have a lopsided victory (6-0, 6-2) over Barbora Krejčíková and Laura Siegemund. Many special characters in this match.

It's doubles match!

Sixth time Tennis Channel is showing the Madrid men's doubles final!

CHALLENGER HOTTIE ALERT!

Turkish player, Ergi Kirkin, wins his first Challenger title in Porto Allegre, Brazil.

Cute smile, thicc thighs!

Saw a post on the tennis subreddit alleging that Sinner has transient osteoporosis of the hip and bone marrow edema. If true --and I hope it's not-- he'll probably be out for months.

That sounds terrible.

Rublev broken twice already.

Lil' Diego announces his retirement. Will stop in Argentina in Feb next year. Will miss his spunk!

[quote] Will miss his spunk!

I hate spunk.

Why do these players always play the match of their lives against Alcaraz, then play like shit (more like their actual level) the next match? It happened when Alcaraz lost to Zverev and now Rublev. Maybe it is part unluck? But I also think Alcaraz has been playing like shit since Cincy last year, so it's probably both. Alcaraz is in a slump, but even his slump level should be enough 90 % of the time to win... unless he faces a player who is playing unreal tennis.

Wow, Lil Diego will retire, that makes me sad. And I'm keeping an eye out for Thiem and Goffin. Just such a tough sport, so physical. They need to fix the ball issue too, it's not good that Alcaraz and Sinner are out of Rome, maybe more. Just not good for the game.

FAA first set, 6-4.

Our dear sweet smilesome Navone takes out Musetti to win the Sardinia Challenger.

Should be seeded for RG.

FAA got the first set....

This tournament has only one guy calling the baseline (and he stays parked in the one end even when someone is serving at the OTHER end) but has roses lining the court. Why so cheap and weird? FAA is foot faulting every other serve.

[quote] FAA is foot faulting

Every one of them is a new Madrid fault.

Navone will be seeded in his first GS main draw, which must be a first.

Wublev wins second set 7-5.

Pretty dull match. Lots of errors from both sides - reminds me of the Domicakes/Ratface US Open Final.

Well...it's certainly not the quality of the Virginia Slims of Newport final in 1986 when Wendy White and I had the clash of a lifetime!

R236 which is why he was playing in a Challenger tourney…

The new way pick up cheap ranking points, and/or fill the void when you lose early in a tourney that runs more than a standard week. Everyone on the ATP tour is into it….

[quote] The new way pick up cheap ranking points, and/or fill the void when you lose early in a tourney that runs more than a standard week. Everyone on the ATP tour is into it….

Intriguing. Tell me more.

Felix is hanging on by his fingernails. One slip and its over.

The quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail to the ruin of all.

Wublev wins on double fault.

If RG started tomorrow, who would be the favorite to win? Joker?

LOL

What do we know about Rublev's personal life? I've never heard about a gf.

[quote] What do we know about Rublev's personal life?

Wublev self wuv.

R246 looks like Rafa's type of crowd too. Rafa's always seemed allergic to women.

Awkward stuff from FAA at times during Rublev's speech, standing there like a statue as an emotional Rublev compliments him. That few stuck around to hear them speak made it a little sadder, but the embrace Rublev got from the young guy in his box was quite warm.

Not old dwindling Novaxx, R245. Four tournaments this year ending in losses to Dardi, Demon, Ruud and Sinner. Ruud, Tsitsipas and Rublev have better records overall and on clay this year. They're better bets than Beelzebub.

Have we seen shirtless of Rublev? Is he hairy? His arms and legs are thick with blond fur, so I'm wondering about that chest.

Ok, just googled. Meh. Skinny, pale, hairless. But still a cutie!

R252 It is odd that he rarely - if ever - changes his shirt during a match.

[quote] It is odd that he rarely - if ever - changes his shirt during a match.

Perhaps he can't sweat.

Rublev said that he couldn't eat solid foods, only liquids. Very sick.

Woobie!

Rublev was describing his symptoms and it sounds like he has strep throat or something. So... why was he hugging his opponents after matches? FAA is probably going to get sick now, watch.

Heartbroken for FAA.

What is next big tournament?

Rome qualies start tomorrow.

Thank you.

Tennis is so gross. They allow Russians when ALL other sports ban them. All they care about is money. A Russian won Madrid. It's gross and vile. Absolutely disgusting. They should ALL be banned.

Even a Russian who is against Russia's attack on Ukraine, r263? Rublev has made his opposition clear—subtly, but clearly.

I know it's a thorny issue, but at least these players are competing without their national flags.

Happy for our Wubie!

Felix must be gutted. I hope he can pick himself up in time for Rome.

The thing is, Felix could have just as easily won that match.

Flip side, Felix has very few points to defend until Basel in late October since he had dismal results last year from the spring until the indoor season. He has nowhere to go but up for the next five months.

where's Legz+, goddammit?

Legz+ plays Arnaldi in the first round of Rome.

^^^^ you're doing God's work, TY

Boss Daddy's odious girlfriend is on her way to Rome. RIP his chances.

I bet Fritz's new girlfriend is mad that he learned how to use a condom. She could've been set for life already like his ex-wife.

Moorgs is the type who would never sacrifice her size -2 body for a baby. She'll go the surrogate route, if anything.

Sad.

Tsitsy will link up with a plastic influencer type now.

It's taken a while, but beau-dacious Belgian, Zizou Bergs, finally cracks the ATP Top 100, by winning his Round 2 Qually match and making the main draw in Rome.

ZaSu Bergs

Granny V. at the Met Gala

And Bergs draws Nadal in the first round.

BREAKING

It's reported that Domicakes will be retiring at the Vienna Open at the end of the season!

Cue wailing and rending of garments (mainly tight shorts)

Oh noooooooooo!

Will he be an International Tennis Hall of Fame inductee like one-time major winner Andy Roddick?

:-(

Sad to see him retire. I just hope in retirement he finds someone to adequately appreciate DAT AZZ.

I'm available!

Somehow I expected him to retire soon. Im disappointed. If it weren’t for injuries, I’m sure his career would’ve been longer and with more major and 1000 victories.

I shall miss Domi, one of my all-time faves. Such a good kid.

Rune practicing today with full legz showing. I wanna fuck him so bad.

I was surprised to hear Dominic Thiem is retiring, I didn't know her was 30, which is the age some tennis players start to consider retiring. For whatever reason I thought he was about 27.

[quote] Such a good kid.

Such a good ass.

Gays here saying they want to fuck Rune are despicable. It's like the bullied kid being attracted to their bully. Horrifying.

Reminder

R289, he was a teen. We know. Whatever.

Unpopular opinion, I realize, but I will miss Thiem more than Rafa. I never really connected emotionally to Rafa, though I admire him greatly.

I won't miss Thiem that much.

I wonder what his HOF chances are. One Slam winners aren't automatic. The ones who make it generally have multiple other Slam finals - which Thiem does. A No. 1 ranking helps - Thiem peaked at No. 3. From there, it's a combination of overall performance at Slams, overall tournament titles (the bigger the better), wins over top players of their generation, and representing one's country - Davis Cup at least used to be a factor; not sure now, but the Olympics is a bigger consideration than it once was after returning as a full medal sport in 1988.

So, I'm not sure. The Slam plus three other finals is a huge step. His overall Slam performance is limited (partly due to injury) and while it's pretty good, it's not great. Compare to someone like Sabatini who has one Slam and two other finals, but has like 15 other SFs and even more QFs - i.e., deep runs. Same for someone like Roddick - who has a Slam, 4 more finals, and 14 more SF and QFs - plus a No. 1 ranking and 32 overall titles, including 5 Masters. Outside of his win and finals, Thiem has only 4 additional deep runs. Thiem's tournament total - 17 - isn't that great, and he only has one Masters. But still, the Slam win and three other finals are big bona fides. It will be interesting to see if he makes it.

^^I meant to add that doubles achievements can also factor in sometimes.

R292 the only way he doesn't is if the voting committee is full of bottoms who can't appreciate his ass. For his sake I hope a couple tops are on that damn committee.

One of the big factors in Roddick getting in was the fact that he was one of the few Americans of note during that era dominated by Federer.

But he had the bona fides regardless of nationality. There's no player with similar stats who isn't in.

Daddy F does not use condoms R273

R295 Roddick definitely deserved to get in. I actually can't think of a better one slam winner.
