KC Connect, there's an ESPN documentary out there on Andre, I think it's by ESPN - but I highly recommend it, it's quite the story.

Dude had a huge heart in several ways.

Ha, I remember in High School the white and orange Agassi Nikes were what was up, they even had Dupont reinforced toes for wear. Dope shoes.

True, I'll look into it.

Only Gael Monfils would try a thing like that these days (and I think he could pull it off).
[Reply]

is that the black French man? He's bad ass, if so.

Del Po's making too many UE's to have a chance against this version of Federer.
[Reply]

if Monfils is the same guy i'm thinking of, he's capable of beating Federer for sure.
[Reply]

Yes...the lanky one. There are two (Tsonga and Monfils). Both are incredible players, but Monfils is a showman (which often ends up being to his detriment against top players who are there just to win).
[Reply]

yes, and they're both phenomenal - but yes, I know they're show-boats. Federer thing is his fitness, i really think that makes a huge difference, he's not blowing Del Potro off of the court right now, I just think he's LESS tired, is all.
[Reply]

Monfils destroyed Nadal a few weeks back. He's capable of beating pretty much anybody if he keeps his head in the game...he has enormous potential. Potential that I doubt he'll ever reach because of his tactics, but potential nonetheless.

If I was going to choose any player to watch on any given day at a pro tennis tournament, I'd watch him, though. You never know what you're going to get and it's always entertaining.

I immediately thought - Buckwheat, Pookie from New Jack City and the Beer Looter Dude. I've watched this cat, i remember that booming serve.
[Reply]

Yannick Noah was a similar style and IIRC he's who started the 'through the legs' shot.
[Reply]

he also rocked Le Coq Sportif gear, so that too made him dope in my young stupid mind, back then.
[Reply]

I've never seen New Jack City.

It's like 95 degrees there right now. That is probably helping Federer, who seems to be in better shape.
