it was easy back in 07. but the federer of 08 is far different from the federer of the past year.
i miss his 'missing' awesome courage to go for almost impossible shot.

i believe in federer, so although he is down to his last 2 weeks as number 1 , he will try to fight back harder. its just sad that after 247 freaking weeks, nadal will take over. its just upsetting me for now..

He will definitely come back... i don't think he's will do a Borg or Henin now. He's definitely not that type of person.

Federer has held the No.1 spot for 236 weeks consecutively... this is the longest record... before this Connors held it for around 160 weeks consecutively. One can't hold the top spot forever... He's not immortal.

just check the Olympic player list,gold medalist Massu still in waiting list,he out from 64 player,poor Massu cant defend his title
good record by FedEx,it almost impossible to broken,now he should catch the other record the most week in the 1st spot,i wiki the fact and find Fed now fourth behind Sampras(286) , Lendl (270) and Connors (268).
He need 51 weeks to beat Sampras,can he do it??if now he 24yo im sure he can do it

Some little updates bout Olympics Tennis.

Most of the players have arrived in Beijing and been practicing in the stadium.

bro Bepeon,the draw already done or not

Nop. Should come out in Friday or Saturday.

just found in itftennis.com that the draw will takes place on 7th August at Swissotel Hotel,Beijing
come on drawman,put Karlovi,Murray and Djoker in Fed`s side

if karlovic,murray and djoker in fed's side..if fed manage to beat them all..i can imagine him winning the tournament..but that's only IF...haha

let see how long nadal can hold~~~

as long as federer didn't strike back..which is highly doubtful, nadal will holding on to it.
but federer is a fighter. right now, he just need sometimes on his own

And some luck maybe. He's definitely training hard and not giving up yet.

Anyway, tomorrow is the opening ceremony for Beijing Olympics and also the birthday for Federer. Federer will be holding the Swiss flag and leading the Swiss athletes. A very proud day for Federer.

Anyway, the Olympic draw is out.

Federer has Karlovic, Davydenko, Gulbis, Robredo and others at his side of the draw and Nadal has Murray, Djokovic, Hewitt and Nalbandian. Looks like an easier draw for Federer but many dangerous floaters for him as well.

More Beijing pictures.

again need play Djoker on hard court
Astro provide many channel for Olympic,hope they can show all match

lol, dunno who said they hoped murray, djoko, nalbandian, hewitt in fed's side of the draw. backfired instead.. i hope fed dun take things too lightly and dun play well or anything...

He has so far performed better in all the Grand Slams compared to Masters Series.. so you can definitely look forward to a better Federer. He's not dumb and he knows the other players are getting closer and better now...

bepeon, where u saw the draw? i want to have a look at it
edit: nvr mind, checked out ur sig adi

Um guys, sorry to have this off topic a while.
I have been looking for some website which can watch tennis video. where is it? youtube seems quite blur and low quality.

my tv has no sport channel or either i have time to see it on right time =/

Go www.bet365.com

Register an account (give fake info no problem)... They show all the Masters Series tournaments and also some other tournaments. =)

Great quality.
