Federer and Nadal
Would be nice if while they are in their prime Federer and Nadal could play a series on different surfaces; fresh without the wear and tear of a tournament.
We pretty know who the best tennis players are in the world now. So why not cut to the chase and let them come at each other fresh, Like Ali and Joe Frazier.
I'm all for the tournaments and have even had some loved ones and friends see the big ones. Rahul has been to Wimbledon and US Open, Uncle Prent the Open and the French, and Cousin Neil the Australian. I think Baker has been to the Open also and my acquaintance Ross.
I saw Chris Evert in Columbus Georgia and heck, even played in the Burger King Open in Rome in 84; Rome, Georgia.
But I digressed.
Let's see Nadal and Federer several times in the next four years, maybe all on different kinds of clay.
I like Federer. He so smooth and has the complete game. For sure the best since Johnny Mac

Chaplain W Prentice Fox who has seen both the French and US Open and played Number 4 at Carson Newman left handed in the early 50's emailed in the following comments:
I SAW YOUR BLOG. IT WAS NICE. I DOUBT YOU WILL GET ANY COMMENTS, EXCEPT MINE HERE. KILLIAN IS AVERAGING ABOUT 20 COMMENTS PER BLOG. FEDERER AND NADAL ARE DIFFERENT STYLES OF PLAYERS. FEDERER COMES FROM THE SCHOOL OF BJORN BORG AND EVEN BACK TO KENNY ROSEWALL AND ROD LAVER AND IVAN LENDL(REMEMBER HIM?); WHEREAS NADAL IS THE "SCRAMBLER-FIGHTER' LIKE AGASSI AND RODDICK. CONNERS AND MCENROE HAD THAT KIND OF GAME, BUT THEY DISGRACED THE LEVEL OF TENNIS BY THEIR PUBLIC PROFANITIES AND NASTY GESTURES. THE CLASSIC MATCH OF FEDERER-NADAL WAS PLAYED SOME WEEKS AGO THERE IN MALLORCA. ON ONE SIDE OF THE NET WAS GRASS; THE OTHER SIDE WAS RED CLAY. THEY SWITCHED TRADITIONAL SIDES ON ODD GAMES. I THINK FEDERER WON IN A TIE BREAK. AS TO WHO IS THE GREATER PLAYER, IT IS LIKE STEFFI GRAF AND NAVRITOLOVA.. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE ANSWER THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN; AND YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT ON THE OTHER SIDE. WPF USAF
