a lot of the ATP guys are fathers and it would be nice to have a thread where we can post their pix with baby in tow. when the Potato becomes a father, he will be welcome too. and of course there is nothing i can do about people posting pictures of the Android carrying Christian in the bassinet using one finger... but Todd Martin is now a papa, and PAVEL (thanks Sjengsta!) drove back to Germany like a madman to see his wife give birth, only to drive back to France like a madman and lose the match. the least we could see is a picture of the baby! preferably NOT in a car seat. and YKant is now a single Dad -- i wonder how he is making out?
you get the spirit of the thread. have fun...
let me start with my favorite Dad of them all, the man who should be but is not yet in Madame Tussaud's, the one and only Bald One, otherwise known as Baldy, the 4-cornered Kissing Bandit. of course some disrespectful posters (you know who you are ) have taken to calling my darling Agassihole and Double-Head. what can i say? some people have no talent to appreciate greatness...
Well, he definitely has some of that haughty German aloofness of Steffi in him, that's for sure, as well as the rotund jovial features of Agassi.
I believe it was actually Pavel who had to take a trip back to Germany overnight to be present at the birth of his son, Marius, and then come back to finish off the last three games of his quarterfinal match with Corretja, all of which he unsurprisingly lost.
Corretja in his interview was furious and attacked the tournament organisers for putting them on late so that the match was suspended because of darkness, thus forcing Pavel to make the trip there and back again. I believe he arrived back at the stadium at about 6.30 am and had to sleep on a couch before resuming the match a few hours later. Poor guy!
Well, Kaffy's little girl is adorable but Jaden is the cutest of ALL the tennis babies.:angel: Isn't there an updated one of Rafter's baby? The kid must be as old as Jaden.
Thanks for the pictures. Does anybody have one of Mary Jo Fernandez's daughter?
Part of the reason for Djokovic and Federer's major success is their ability to be basically injury free. Its not an ability, maybe its genetics, training, etc. Regardless Djokovic and Federer have enjoyed probably 12+ years on the tour, practically injury free.
Federer had his back issues and...

How would a player with:
Serena's serve
Monica's return
Graf's forehand
Henin's backhand
Navratilova's net game
Hingis' tactical abilities
Clijsters' mobility
Evert' mentality
do on the ATP tour? Top 500, top 200, 100?
Steve Fink: "Who is the best player, not just on record but on ability?"
Pat Cash: "𝐃𝐣𝐨𝐤𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐜, he's a freak, he beats other 2 on their best surfaces. Hard to go passed the reality of head to head wins. At his best he's unstoppable."
I've met Pat. Great guy.

Was it Borg? I am sure Borg is till now the only player who could play any style of tennis, and play along any side of the court(inside the baseline, outside, at the net etc).
It's not the big 3 members, as Nadal is too topspin and grinding from the baseline oriented, his net game while has...
