I'm not sure, but I think it was "Deutschland uber alles" according to one article I read.

I watched most of that (great) match but never heard it and it was never repeated.

I've never been a Serena fan, at all. But she's the GOAT, a goddam icon, both in sports and in our culture, and she's 40 years old (likely) playing her last tournament, in a young person's game. ...

that;s why I have Fed #1 too, but if he's #1 by far, by definition Rafa can't be a close second.

I would probably say 1a and 1b too, if that's allowed. Because Rafa is definitely the GOATOC...

how can it be Fed "by far" but Rafa a "close second"?

FWIW, I agree with your rankings, though I am no tennis master and admit that likeability probably oozes into my rankings.

So glad Rafa gets to lift #21, not because I'm a hudge fan of is, but it highlight's Novak's stupidity. That could be him with the record lead, but for a wee little poke.

And ruh-roh, looks like...

lol

absolutely they do. But they have to follow their own laws in doing so, at least in countries that follow a rule of law.

I have no idea whether that was the case here, and I have no idea...
