they had a little blurb in the top corner earlier :shrug:
A blurb with Fed only in a picture?PaulieM said:they had a little blurb in the top corner earlier :shrug:
yup a little picture, the score and a link. that's all he got on most websites, espn, si etc.Tennis Fool said:A blurb with Fed only in a picture?
Well, even Fed has said you know you've made it when you come to NYC and win the USO.megadeth said:well, fed doesn't need to win the american press. US doesn't dominate tennis anymore anyway. so why push to win them over when the rest of the world is in awe with him?
That's sad, because when Sharapova won last year at Wimby, she took up the whole front half of the newspaper, she was the hurricane of last summer.PaulieM said:yup a little picture, the score and a link. that's all he got on most websites, espn, si etc.
That's jacked up!!!! I am ashamed, I am ashamed...Tennis Fool said:If anyone subscribes to the NYTimes online, they usually post a picture of the winner on the front page. Maybe they did so earlier today, but there is no pix of Fed now. It is 9/11 after all, so they have a pix of a couple embracing in remembrance at Ground Zero.
Further down the page however, is the headline for the US Open: At 35, Agassi Gives All but Falls to Younger Star Right below the summary is a secondary link with the headline, Roberts: Here's Hoping Agassi Plays On
You go to the Sports Page and, who has 2 pix to 0? Agassi of course, waving to the crowd. You go to the Tennis page, and there's Roger!...shaking hands with Agassi whose facing prominantly in the photo, you see the back of Fed's head.
DickE said earlier today that maybe both Agassi and Fed will be on Letterman tomorrow.
Well if they refer to Federer solely as a Younger Star and don't even mention his name you know something is wrong with the NYTimes. Agassi playing at 35 is not bigger news than Federer winning back to back Wimby/USOpen two years in a row. That hasn't been done in the Open Era. I wonder if they ever mentioned it in 2004 when he won 3 majors?Tennis Fool said:If anyone subscribes to the NYTimes online, they usually post a picture of the winner on the front page.

i'd really like to see roger on the cover of si sometime. sharapova made it after wimby last year. i wonder what roger would have to do to finally make it.Tennis Fool said:That's sad, because when Sharapova won last year at Wimby, she took up the whole front half of the newspaper, she was the hurricane of last summer.
Even Kim got a nice photo and wrap up.

Only if someone like Wertheim pushes for it. Someone said that JMac was recently on Letterman, who used to follow tennis but doesn't much anymore. JMac mentioned how good this new guy, Federer, was and Letterman gave him a blank look.PaulieM said:i'd really like to see roger on the cover of si sometime. sharapova made it after wimby last year. i wonder what roger would have to do to finally make it.![]()
joycomesmorning said:Without a worthy rival, Federer's brilliance will be lost as more and more people ignore a sport that died when wooden rackets and colourful players gave way to a power game devoid of rallies.
The pending departure of Andre Agassi - the last of the game's great personalities - is going to make tennis matters a whole lot worse.
