Dark angel unfortunately Pete was playing the same time Agassi is so the sponsors can choose between these athletes to market their products.
Who'd you choose??
Comparing The share of endorsements hey got will know the answer.

Roddick? At the time of his peak he was way ahead of other Americans so straight forward choice there.

I agree with u....Basically, pete is a boring person...He was using the same racket for his entire career. That's why that racket is sooooo hot during that moment. Even now, there are still people like me looking for it (PS6.0 95sq). No doubt, he has one of the best serve in tennis. Sometimes, he can even serve an ace in his 2nd serve especially when he is leading 40-0 or 40-15. I do not know whether is his serve really that accurate and remarkable or he is taking a gamble on his serve. Agassi thanked the spectator after each match for their compliment. On top of that, Agassi has his own tennis academy foundation.

Meanwhile, compare to Federer, I really wonder how many company able to sponsor him other than Wilson and Nike. Federer has Gillette, etc etc...

@Ryan,

1. Pete is regarded as THE BEST server in history
2. Sports r very commercial nowadays. If Pete is ard now I bet he will get more than Nike and Wilson. Look at Lin Dan and Datuk Lee.... u see Datuk Lee's face every corner nowadays: 100 Plus, Beras Bernas, Samsung, Sen Q, Faber Castell, now is on a healthcare MLM (formerly known as EasyPhamax).........

Fed has gillette, (he is d only left with the 1st gen champs of him, henry n tiger), a swiss chocolate, a coffee maker, swiss credit, benz, rolex, wilson, nike......... i wonder why Federal Express didnt tag him, cox both r FEDEX!!!!

guys,

i've recently changed my backhand from single handed backhand to double handed backhand.

can you guys recommend me a good racket cause i think my current one (Kfactor 6-one-tour) wasn't really made for double handed backhand due to its smaller head size.

ps: double handed backhand is awesome and so much easier to hit compared to single handed backhand.

if it were me, I'd go for Agassi. He wasn't that unflexible and demanding like Pete. Pete was very fickle with the racquet even saying that extra PJ and NOT having stencils changes the gameplay. VERY VERY fickle. hard to get him to change anything.

Roddick... erm.... well, I'd have to say that during his time, not very prominent Americans were around. Plus, his win was the US Open, so he was like the home champion. No brainer there... but still... can't compare with Nadal who obviously has a better career record eh? He's just not that.... marketable (language wise) and also... not that good on screen... hahaha.. very KAYU in the ads.

Federer.... I'd say he's a completely different class. He manages to embrace both the marketing and performance in court very well. Look at all his endorsements and one will get lost. not to mention his charitable efforts when he is supposed to focus on his career instead... he can still juggle them so well...

Both strokes have pros/cons. It's a matter of which one suits you. My advice is to pick one that suits you and stick to it. Some people like to have both a single backhand and double handed backhand. I don't think it is good to have both cause they often struggle with consistency. If double backhand is good for you, practice with it and stick to it from now on. It'll help lift that part of your game greatly by sticking to that one stroke (of course, doesn't mean you can't slice and so on)

transition to exo3tour would be smooth for you as it has from me coz I came from the k6.1t as well. i've tried various racket when i was looking for a replacement to the k6.1t but none come as close to the swing-weight and whippiness of the k6.1t except for the e3t. you will lose a bit of touch, but gain the forgiveness from the 100sqin headsize and the comfort from the flex of 52RA as well. i'm able to switch freely between both racket during games with minimal adjustment.

My friend watched exhibition match between federer and sampras....I watched at TV...his server was still POTONG STIMMM....

Generally, i think Benz and Rolex are enough for federer....I wonder why nobody sponsor Sampras...Oh yeah, i remember last time there was 1 famous advertisement ENERGIZER and Michael Chang...I find that a bit funny lar...only pakai his name which cant see his face.

Added on October 27, 2011, 11:30 amI think one day, i need to test your racket since i never never swing with Prince racket before. Played with wilson for a long long period of time. My last wilson racket was k6.1Tour which was 3 years ago when I just entered uni...The best racket which i have had used so far...PS6.0 95sq..

BEST SERVER in history?

karlovic?

dont think karlovic is considered best server cos he has a big advantage due to height.. ..

hahaha.....

If we see JUST the serve, karlovic throws 2nd serve bombs all the time.

... he just doesn't break other's serves too often too..

Yeap...i realized something..he loved to serve down the T....
