Legend of Lukas Rosol
First topic message reminder :
I know the name is a bit sensitive to some die hard fans here but I seriously thought we need a topic on Rosol's spectacular win and how he would be remembered in the history. Ok so here is the question how would Lukas Rosol be remembered? will he be remembered as
1]Rise of the Underdog?
A Warrior who came believing himself to down a former champ, a top favorite and the World No.2
or
2]Terminator II [The Judgement day]
As a terminator who exposed what any player can do Rafa's game if they showed a bit of character and a played the right shots , A victory for aggressive play vs defensive play.
If a player is talked every where for just one good match in his entire career, certainly he did something right, so whats it among the two?

Interesting that even after Djokovic being #1 for 2 years in a row it's still a big Fedal fight on the boards. Poor Djokovic.
Good point Bill. For such a likeable character, and such a great player, he hasn't amassed anywhere near the level of support I thought he would have. I mean, he's just completed his second year at number 1 as you say. Federer was voted the fans favourite player of 2012 and Murray was second, both well ahead of Novak.
I really like the guy and I thought his sense of humour and flair for the dramatic would appeal to the masses but it just hasn't has it.

Yes poor guy. Much better to get negative board comments than no comments at all. If he had any fans, it would have been frustrating for them I am sure.Henman Bill wrote:Interesting that even after Djokovic being #1 for 2 years in a row it's still a big Fedal fight on the boards. Poor Djokovic.

More importantly, I hope your husband gets better. It must be tough.

Re: Legend of Lukas Rosol
HN although i don't completely, but to an extent i know what you're going through.
My gramps (role model, idol and inspiration) was also in intensive care and is now in a home that he hates, he is very weak and a shadow of his wonderful, fountain of knowledge self.
I have never experienced anything like it and didn't know what to do, i felt so powerless and was an absolute mess. But I had to be strong for the rest of the fam and that is the key, being strong!
best wishes
wishing him a speedy recovery!

Re: Legend of Lukas Rosol
@ HB, its so much fun watching the two legends play each other [Fedal], more or less the similar enthusiasm in discussing them, while Novak is doing great to be in the arguments, he still have to achieve double of what he has achived so far to be recognized and discussed in the brackets of Rafa.
Some where down the line Novak lacks the charisma of Rafa and the skills of Fed, while he is doing all his best with all those comic gimmicks and impersonations he still haven't reached tennis fans hearts and mind with his performance on or off the court.

We are delighted to see you relieved , while we all have fun dig and banters at each other's hero we all cared for each other here, and we certainly did care for you Haddie, I wait for the day u give us a big treat once your Husband is back to complete Normality.
Btw its a non-stop snow here in Toronto/Richmond hill close to 1 1/2 feet most places.

IC, if it's any consolation the weather in London has been relatively sh*t for the past week or so, it's just raining all the time.

I used to reside in Cardiff, it used to be lovely weather there, neither hot nor cold.
