Does seem very prophetic, considering it was written nearly four years ago. I never thought Djoko would be the top dog myself back then.

Sorry, Bart. The article is a little anti-Gasquet at the beginning. lol

I think peter bodo writes for inside tennis and his articles perspectives are always a little ascue to me...he probably ripped gasquet back then to stand out from the pack...and still does in his column, he comes off like he is new to tennis, but i think i read his bio along time ago which i believe was impressive,  so he probably is after the notoriety of saying unique things. I rarely read his column anymore..

Sometimes, he can be pretty far off the mark. I don't like him calling Fed "TMF", standing for The Mighty Federer. Sometimes, there is alot of real trivial tripe he adds to his articles. Like what he is doing at the moment, getting a coffee or picking up a cell phone. 

Yeah, my grad school prof showed me David Foster Wallace's article on Fed v. Agassi. Talk about some extra convolutions.
