I don't have the heart* - James Ingram

300 weeks! New record! Previous record? 299 weeks - also held by the same man!!!! =) 


But how far can he go?

I don't have the heart to say this - but i will. It seems that he at times does not have the heart to win any more. Take the Olympics - i did not get to watch the finals, but apparently, he just din push himself.

Similarly, in the recent Shanghai Masters - he committed 3 double faults in a row!!!! That meant that he served 6 times without getting the ball in!!!

I guess this is what happens when u reach the top. Where else do you go? Olympic Gold? Shanghai Masters? Well, these are not Grand Slams! And Roger has matched Sampras' record of 7 Wimbie titles.

Couple with the fact that he got married and is now a father. Perhaps winning is not everything?

Dun get me wrong - i'm a huge fan of Roger and he still plays amazing tennis! But not very consistently these days... =(

*I was surprised to find out that this was only his 2nd number 1 hit on the US Billboard Charts.
