Well I would expect them to have a large following in continents like Africa because of players such as Drogba. You and Leeds do have a point, a lot of people root for the "winners", but you'll find just as many who despise the way that Chelsea won the CL.

It's a shame that the top 4 aren't all the same age. Would have been interesting to see how many titles each player would have won if they had all broken onto the scene at the same time.

Federer is as good as ever......every time he wins a slam people say he's the same player.
He just had his period of dominance when the depth wasn't as good and then Nadal came along.
Murray and Djokovic are both 25, born one week apart!!!
Del Potro is 23 so they have a few years playing eachother.
Then the likes of Dimitrov, Raonic and Janowicz are coming through.

Tomic seems to have regressed lately - I think he holds massive potential as much as I dislike him

I read something about the next young British players coming through (Edmund, Broady etc) and they mentioned how there wasnt any 18 year olds in the worlds top 200 at the min and the average age of the break-thru players was rising.
Basically preparing excuses in case are current batch don't make headline in next couple years

Good lad!!!
Is he in the LTA programme?
Britain has some great juniors, Golding and Broady look excellent and obviously we now have Robson and Watson on the womens side.

Nah - that's true.
Same on the womens side, Robson is the higest ranked teenager in the world and she's 51 in the world aged 19.
Murray was exceptional at being a top 10 player at 20.......Nadal as well.
Generally players are fully mature at 24+
Golding and Broady have both won junior slams? They have a s agood a chance any anyone

He is, we never been to roehampton but i take him to a lot of comeptitions round this wayy, everything they say about tennis parents is true. They are a mental lot very stuck up and clicky. I tend to sit in the car when he is not playing, not knowing a huge amount about tennis i never say anything but general encouragment.
At the club he plays at they have a coach who use to be pro, german fella, does not look like a tennis player but they assured me he used to play pro.

Exactly, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray and Federer have all had their moments. Nadal's time wasting can be appalling at times. Djokovic can be petulant. Unless Murray is winning easily he is always petulant. After the game he is gracious in defeat or in victory but his on court behaviour leaves a lot to be desired. That is the main reason people don't warm to him and why people prefer the grace and elegance (on court) of Federer.
As for the silly comment made by Leeds about Djokovic owning Federer, I can't say I agree (no surprise there!). Roger beat him at Wimbledon, and beat him comfortably in another tournament too recently (I forget which one) and Djokovic has had a couple of easy wins too. The rest of the times they have been incredibly evenly matched, with matches being decided by one or two points. In the final on Monday that match could have gone either way. At the US Open in 2011, Federer had match points and Djokovic hung on for dear life before eventually prevailing.
Maybe Leeds' main beef with Roger is that with the exception of the Olympic final, Roger has tinkled all over Leeds' little bitch Murray in the important matches.

I see you put the word ''Important'' in there cos Murray is actually 10-9 up on head to heads with Federer.

Yes, his overall record is marginally better, but like I say, with the exception of the Olympic final Roger has won all of their 5 set encounters.

Obviously Master Series titles don't mean anything. Just that most players never come CLOSE to winning one and Andy has beaten Roger in 6 masters series matches including 2 finals.
Ask Roger how his silver medal is.....

I love Federer's play, he's just a massive c*nt.
Legend of the game though, behind Nadal....

Nah, Federer is better. I do put some stock into heads to heads, but it's not the be all and end all. I mean Murray has a better head to head record against Federer and no one would seriously argue he's better than Fed. Nadal has only been dominant in one of the slams whereas Federer won 3 of them in the same year 3 times.
