  2. ROGER FEDERER IS THE ULTIMATE SPORTSMAN,EVEN MORE­ IMPORTANTLY THOUGH THE ULTIMATE GENTLEMAN! WELL DONE­ RODGER FEDERER YOU ARE QUITE SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT !!­ BRAVO!!

  3. Its funny how in England if you are absolutely great at­ your sport and dignified in winning and losing, we will­ let you become an honorary Brit. Just look at Boris­ Becker, John McEnroe, Chrissy Everts, Pat Cash, Michael­ Johnson, Usain Bolt, Stefan Edberg and finally Roger­ Federer. All great sports people who deserve their­ credit for being the best at thier point in time.

    This­ is why Federer is loved and disliked by some, but he is­ simply the better than everyone else whether he wins or­ loses, many players would be lucky to have his conduct­ or his ability. That's why we love him, long may­ he reign....

  4. Why does M. Navratalova have to try to alter the rules?­ Is it that she has now finished playing and it now­ suits her to alter them or is it sour grapes? Only­ one thing in her favour - the grunting shoould be­ abolished.
