<p>There is a change brewing, do you smell it? Rafa and Fed were both knocked out today (by Fish and Berdych respectively). This makes the second important tournament in a row where neither of them even made the semi-finals much less the final. Djokovic is still rolling. There is a gap forming right behind him, and now the gap between Rafa and Fed versus the Berdyches and Fishes of the world is shrinking. </p>

<p>Cordell said he likes to think of the big 3 as Rock, Paper, Scissors - all very even. But to me, it looks like it is all scissors all the time.</p>

<p>Roger will retire. It's a fact. What will this do to the sport? Will you enjoy watching tennis any less?</p>
<p>I'm old. I remember when Sampras was king (and before). I tend to root for the underdog. So I rooted a lot against Pete and Roger too. However with Rog, I'm starting to root for him at this point.

(Something I never came to do with Pete because he bored me.) Roger was so damn good for so long that many of us got sick of him winning everything. But his game is beautiful and he's a great guy, so I'm rooting for another major this year and maybe a Gold at the Olympics. Talk about going out on a high note.</p> "The Top Two" Becomes "The Top Three" Becomes "The Other Top Two"tag:tennisopolis.com,2011-04-04:1869403:Topic:5489632011-04-04T18:34:23.958ZMark / The Mayorhttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/archibot
Watch out! It takes the tennis commentators so long to recognize that Nole has joined Fed and Nadal and that there is a "top three". They waited too long and now there is a gap leaving Fed out of the new "top two". Thoughts?

Wimbeldon has a whole new twist to it this year...no RAFA!<br />
<br />
This has opened the door for a lot of players to get the chance to LOSE to Roger Federer because he's back guys and he's takin it all the way.<br />
<br />
Now im always going to support everyones favorite hometown american A-Rod but it's pointless.<br />

Roger has the chipping backhand slice to take off that crazy kick that Roddick can generate on that serve of his, and his smooth movement on court is so great to watch.<br />

<br />
He's the silent killer and that's a weapon that none of the other players in this tournament have except maybe one...Andy Murray.<br />
<br />
This is a guy that can really compete and it's showed even at his young age when he was a mental case.<br />
<br />
Rafa has the winning record over Federer for a reason and the answer is VARIETY!<br />
<br />
The new reverse forehand that has recently been introduced to the modern game, the speed, the amounts of spin and conditioning, the intelligence, consistency and the composure that builds a champion...Andy Murray may have it.<br />
<br />
What do you guys think?
