His recent victory at RG was the easiest and most dominant one yet. He came close to winning the AO. He could win 2 or even 3 more RGs. From there on then, whatever else can be added would bring him at or near parity with RF's majors total.

Yes, there can be no argument that Roger is the GOAT as things stand right now. No matter what Laver did when tennis was basically amateurish, or that Novak won four on the trot or that Rafa has a superior H2H. If one examines statistics in their totality, then RF is definitely the GOAT. Only...

Rafa can still win 1 or even two non-clay majors. I am certain of this. Just look at how much failure Federer had to endure in recent years, until 2017 came along. In the AO, Rafa came a whisker away from winning it, as he was actually a break up in the final set. I think that Rafa's best...

Rafa is 4 majors behind Roger and Novak is 7 majors behind. One of them needs to come up with something spectacular to bridge the gap. Rafa could potentially win two more French Opens and with some luck 1 more US/AUS/WIM or with a lot of luck, two more. In that case, the debate will well and...

Find and buy a top-notch midfielder at all and any cost. We are wasting the best front-three in the history of the game with our weak midfield.

Wimbledon simply doesn't suit Rafa anymore. The fact that he cannot bend his knees as much as he used, means that the low-bouncing balls of the grass courts give him hell. The US Open should give him a better chance to shine and win his 6th non-clay major. As for Roger, what is there to say...

He is no football analyst, he is a team official and has no other choice than being extremely diplomatic. Do you want him to say that our signings have been utter garbage and should be offloaded asap? What would an honest appraisal on Robert's part mean for a) Their resale value and b) For their...

This was a performance for the ages from Rafa. Yesterday was one of Rafa's best ever performances, on par with FO 2008, Wimbledon 2008, AUS 2009 or US Open 2013. It may have been even better. Rafa had everything today, composure, movement, speed, precision, hard-hitting etc etc etc... I was...

Do you think Thiem has any chance against Rafa in a French Open semi? I think that Rafa is nailed on for his 10th FO title and number 2 in the rankings. Only matter of time before he returns to number 1.

Roger Federer withdraws from the French Open. He is saving everything for Wimbledon and the North American hard-court season.

It was only the latest in a long streak of dodgy decisions favoring RM this season.

GS wins over 30 are extremely rare. Even if Rada & Djoko find a way to dominate beyond 30, they will still be facing each other all the time. Plus, there are always surprises and new GS winners can arise out of nothing. Who would have ever thought that Wawrinka would have won 3 majors in his...

Federer's GS record seems ultra-safe. Rafa or Djoko need to come up with something mega in order to tie (let alone overtake) Federer. None of the two is getting any younger.

French Open has RAFA written all over it. A 3rd Roland Garos-Wibledon double for Rafa? Why not?

Rafa beats Djokovic at last! After 7 consecutive defeats to the Serb, Nadal gets one back and is now into the Madrid Masters final. Rafa is looking to completely dominate on clay once again as he has already won Monte Carlo and Barcelona. Nadal should be a heavy favorite against either Cuevas or...

100% this. Any other manager at the helm of a billion $$$ club producing this kind of football would have been sacked and ridiculed long ago. Jose gets away with just about anything.

Pathetic from United and that clown Jose. Celta very weak, especially in the first leg missed a hell of a chance at making the final. Why is Guidetti playing professional football BTW?

Dani Alves. One of the best players to ever play for FCB and one of the best RBs of all time. We let him go prematurely.

Then why can't Pep replicate his initial success?

Every single thing came together in the 08/09 season. Messi came to prominence and got over his injuries. Lots o dead wood was shipped off and Dani Alves was added. Also, Xavi and Iniesta both hit peak form. Pep was at the right place at the right time.
