Seedings worked.
Top guns face off against each other.
Always liked Fed, hope he extends his awesome Grand Slam record.

Might as well enjoy the trilogy of rivalry whilst it lasts.
Mens tennis will probably never reach the heights of these 3.

I'm young enough to have watched some of them...
I still feel it was somewhat of a transition between the previous champions.
The current crop are pretty damn talented at have a much ' nicer ' rivalry.
Still wondering WTF Borg retired young, Jimmy was kinda boring and John was a crazy bastard.

Borg got bored, and beaten.
He did make a comeback, but it was a bit embarrassing.
Conners was pretty good, had a sh1itty attitude.
I became a Novak after watching this

Fed deserves his status as probably the best that has played the game.
He has been remarkably consistent for such a long period, I doubt it will happen again.

I've always been a Fed fan and supporter and always will be. I've become a fan of Novak over the last year and I also like Del Potro. The top 4 we have now are extremely talented and they keep their rivalries on the courts. That's good to see.
Fed is undoubtedly the best player that the world has seen. I also doubt that we'll see someone better but who knows? Looking at the way Novak plays, I think the rest should start to worry. TBH, I'm more worried that Nadal will get and break Fed's record but Novak started winning majors just in time, so I doubt Nadal will win another major.

Nadal is much more injury prone now then earlier in his career. His style of play has taken a heavy toll on his body .
