This is something I found Really Funny...

Deepak Narayanan of "Mumbai Mirror" on Mario Ancic.
"His other big
achievement is, of course, being the last man to beat Roger Federer at Wimbledon
- a statistic that he looks likely to take to his grave given Federer's form on
grass since 2002."


And Something I didn't like much....

Carlos Moya in Mumbai for Kingfisher ATP Mumbai Open:
"Things were different
in the 90s. There were quite a few great players like (Pete) Sampras, (Boris)
Becker, (Andre) Agassi, (Patrick) Rafter with virtually the same kind of skills.
They were all in the same league. But today; there's a big gap between the top
two-three players and the rest. See (Roger) Federer and (Rafael) Nadal. There is
hardly anyone who can come close to them," he says. But for him, Sampras was
and' always will remain the best. "He was a class apart. Federer and Nadal are
good, but not in his league," Moya says. And he does feel that Federer is n not
unbeatable. "Nadal has beaten (him twice this year. Murray beat n him recently.
He's after all human.He has his weaknesses," he says. -(from ' DNA' (Daily News
and Analysis), Mumbai, Tuesday, Sep.26, 2006)
Moya, once a mentor of Rafael
Nadal, feels Nadal has it in him to win Wimbledon?"He got to the fmal but he was
unfortunate to face Federer. But, give him two years. Time will change and
Federer will stop winning." -(from The Times Of India,Mumbai Tuesday, Sep.26,
2006)

I wish he will have to wait for ages for that to happen....
and by the way, today Moya lost to Argentine Juan Martin Del Porto 3-6, 2-6 in the singles first round in Mumbai...
