An absolute tosser is Djokovic. Just seen a BBC News report where it looks like he doctored and put in the wrong information in his forms to get into Australia.
With the level of deceit he has shown, and with his past comments on doping, I have to say that there's a high likelihood that he has doped in tennis. Nadal's had his suspicions as well but at this moment I couldn't care less - no man is less deserving of ascending to the top of the record books than Djokovic.
But for sure - Roger is untouchable in my eyes. I can think of no other sportsman who has looked so graceful and turned his sport into an art form in the way he did. That he began in the era of Sampras 20 plus years ago shows just how enduring he is. Djokovic could win 10 more Grand Slams and he still wouldn't be worth a bead of Federer's sweat.
Wasn’t aware of the suspicions about Rafa, can’t see that myself - I’m a huge fan of the guy but of course it would be naive to think the temptation isn’t there for these top players.
Federer has seen off so many players though, including my absolute favourite back in the day of Andy Roddick! Honestly, Roddick would have won so much more if he wasn’t in that era (same as a lot of players I guess), but specifically I remember the Wimbledon final of I think 07 where it went 5 sets v Roger and there’s no tie break in the 5th at Wimbledon and eventually, inevitably, Federer outlasted him! Incredible match and one that said to me that Federer would, eventually, no matter what, always win in that period.
