lendl had to earn his
federer started off as a serve and volleyer
there is a place for slower tennis- but there should also be a place for agressive tennis and also serve and volley

Your ignorance is off the charts. Pink was thrashed left right and center by Hewitt and Nalbandian before courts were slowed down. Pink turned it around as a result of homogenization. Players could not attack him no longer.

Sorry but "Pink" turned it round vs those guys by improving his game. It had nothing to do with court speed. Are you saying Hewitt would have beaten him on a fast court in 2004??

I changed it immediately cause I expressed myself badly. What I mean is that pretty much everyone in the Balkans regards Serbia as the bad guys. You guys didn't do yourselves any favours during the war (Srebrenica etc.).
Croats, Bosnians, Slovenians etc. have kinda put their differences behind them and all cheer for each other but Serbia are kind of on their own. Ask a Bosnian or a Croatian why they don't cheer for Serbia in sport and you will get a mouthful of abuse.
But that's all kinda irrelevant. I was just trying to answer the question, don't really wanna get into a historical debate.

Nope. We have good relations to all our neighbors except with Croats, Albanians , and Bosnian Muslims - which is no surprise because these three nations were all of them part of Hitler Nazi forces in WW2 and committed horrible atrocities and genocide on Serb civilians whenever they was able to do that. They killed woman, childen, old man, they have dozens of concentration camps , they even had children concentration camp. Biggest of this camp was Jasenovac concentration camp in which they killed more than 700.000 Serbs, Jews and Gypsies.
Same did Albanians who put Serbs from Kosovo into concentration camps in Albania.
They did all of that because they believed that, we , Serbs, are lower life nation who needs to be exterminated in same fashion in which Nazi's exterminated Jews in Third Reich.
More than 1.5 Serbian civilians were killed in World War 2 by Nazi puppet regimes in Croatia, Bosnia and Greater Albania.
I know this is off topic, but its great insult for us , to compare us with Nazi's because our nation was big victim of Nazi regime. Did you know that only in occupied Serbia , Nazi's had a law to shot down 100 people, civilians for each dead soldier, and 50 for each wounded. So when partisans killed some Nazi soldiers in ambush they committed mass executions of citizens in Kraljevo and Kragujevac. They even entered into school and took more than 100 children and executed them.
You can read all that on wikipedia if you want to learn history.
So please stop doing that and go back on to the topic. Thanks.

“Does Djokovic resemble myself?” Agassi said. “No, he is even better. He defends really well, while I struggled more in that element of the game. Novak looks totally relaxed when defending, completely calm and the quality of his return is incredible. He is also extremely flexible in his game, which is facilitated by his ability to anticipate his rival’s moves. That is why I think he is a much more versatile player than I was and he is also much more athletic.”

Srebrenica is an example man. You realise that the UN and the CIA estimate that between 90% and 95% of all war crimes during the war were committed by Serb militants?
I don't have anything against Serbs personally but they should kinda understand why everybody else in the Balkans hates them. The war wasn't that long ago.

Re: Grinding wins agains, speed up the courts or the sport will die.
If you say so bro.
Anyway, back on topic. Kind of hoping that Fed gets through to the final, Djok v Murray matches on slow surfaces aren't real exciting.
