Have you ever wondered what would have happened
if Bjorn Borg had taken up golf instead of
tennis? Would the world have been a different place if Martina Navratilova had played 'keeper for West Germany's football team? Take a look at these bizarre sports face crossovers!
I came across this gift item yesterday while
doing a little online Christmas shopping, it’s called Flair
Hair. Flair Hair is displayed along with this text: We all have “bad hair” days; some of us have “no hair” ...
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have the hottest
feud going on the tennis court. Each man is
a worthy successor to Bjorn Borg between those lines but are they able to hang with him in Michael Vick's favorite battleground. That would be the dogfighting ring, a place that's left Borg limping. Wimbledon's got nothing on a showdown between Vick and Borg.
Roger Federer may tie Bjorn Borg's modern record
by winning a fifth straight Wimbledon singles title and
he may also eventually break Pete Sampras' career record of 14 Grand Slam singles titles--but is Federer really a greater all-around player than Borg, who could be called the Sandy Koufax of tennis?
There’s a few things in life that are
just a given. The grass is green, the sky
is blue, and if Sportable is talking about tennis, it involves Roger Federer, the most dominant athlete in the world. The 25 year old sensation took another step ...
Rafael Nadal destroyed Roger Federer at Roland Garros
this morning to win another French Open title. Nadal
barely broke a sweat, taking the title in straight sets: 6-1, 6-3, 6-0. He’s 28-0 in his career on the French clay, and is the first player since Bjorn Borg (1978-1981) to win four consecutive French Open titles. Since 2005, Nadal is 115-2 on clay surfaces. Simply put: ...
THE EPIC: WIMBLEDON, 1980: McEnroe during his five-set
thriller with Bjorn Borg. It seemed endless, or at
least most tennis fans probably wished it had been. Nelson Mandela listened in prison.
Roger Federer matched Bjorn Borg's modern record of
five straight Wimbledon titles but was his victory over
Rafael Nadal the historical equivalent of Borg's 1980 win over John McEnroe? McEnroe rebounded from that loss to beat Borg at Wimbledon in 1981 and become the number one player in the world.
Filed under: Tennis , Breaking News When you're
as great a tennis player as Rafael Nadal, there
are no moral victories. But forcing Roger Federer to play five sets on grass -- and actually looking like the better player for the first four sets -- is ...
Federer is in pretty elite company as it
is, but only one man stands between him and
being the greatest tennis player ever. Okay, maybe two.
Many people consider Roger Federer to be the
greatest tennis player of all-time but the number one
player in the world fell to a very pedestrian 7-8 in clay court finals after his nemesis Rafael Nadal beat him 7-5, 7-5 in the Monte Carlo Masters. Federer has yet to display the multi-surface dominance that Bjorn Borg did during his prime.
With a resounding 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 victory over
world #1 Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal won the French
Open for the fourth straight time, matching the record streak set by Bjorn Borg from 1978-81.
Bud Collins was gone from NBC's Wimbledon coverage
this year for the first time since the early
days of Western Civilization, but a friendly p.r. man e-mailed me his thoughts on Sunday's final. Short version: He agrees with McEnroe (see post ...
