What is the point. One past his prime and one still in prime. It is no contest and not much of a game. Only good visual to see two great share the same court. But as far as game goes it like Gavaskar v/s Yuvraj in a single wicket competition.
I'm a tennis expert. Have watched most of the important matches from the Bill Tilden era thro the Kramers and Drobnys to Rocket Laver to Bjorn Rune Borg to J P McEnroe ( Jr ) to the Lendls, Beckers, Agassis and to one Nadal. So I'm THE expert.
My prediction for this game, therefore, CANNOT go wrong :

Anthony - why dont you go to Goa and meet your ancestors and share a bottle of Fenny with them. You seem to be drunk anyway.

Please stop comparing the living legends of moden tennis with pretty avg. guys. This doesnt make any sense. Dont makee yourself a fool.
it really is astonishing to see tiny countries like malaysia,s.korea,and macau holding this high profile clash, while india which has the best record of tennis in asia,nowhere in the picture. even in ATP tournaments held in india, like the one held in chennai every year courtesy vijay amrithraj, oonly one high ranking player per year turns up for the tournament.whereas in a country like china which has no history of tennis worth its name every year the premiere year ending ATP Masters tournament is held in shanghai,where the first 8 ATP ranking mens players fight for the title. indian tennis enthusiasts are yet to see the likes of federer,sampras,agassi,roddick.djokovic, play on indian soil.even in woman's tennis china has hosted the williams sisters,cljister,sharapova,kuznetsova etc even tiny dubai and qatar are regularly hosting high ranking players in tournaments held in their respective countries. the AILTA should take more positive interests in this regard, as this is one sport where india gets maximum medals in asiad and olympics courtesy leander paes. if india wants to continue its hold on the game atleast in asia more initiatives have to be taken.

Its really praiseworthy. We would have loved to see them play (provided our pocket permits). Efforts should me made by some. Why everything for cricket? Could'nt an ITL be started?
