Greatest rivalry in Tennis


Hi friends!Tennis being an individual sport ,it requires a rivalry in every decade to keep the popularity of the game going. And as such we have seen rivalries between the likes of Bjorn borg and the indomitable Jimmy Connors , Sampras and Agassi, Graf and Seles for examples and the list goes on.But which one is the greatest? Well if You ask me its got to be Sampras Vs Agassi. Simply because Tennis becomes a spectacle to watch when styles clash.In this regard, Sampras with his extragavant serve and volley game and Agassi with his Baseline bashing style reached heights only a few can even imagine.But the great news is Tennis has found itself a new rivalry that has captured the imagination of fans the world over. ya, am talking about the Nadal Vs Federer matchup of course.It has assumed even greater proportions with Nadal winning Wimbledon on supposedly his least favoured surface of grass and snatching number 1 ranking from fedex(nickname of federer) after a long reign.But not the one to give up without a fight fedex stormed back to win the US open.Even though rafa has a huge lead in their head - head,their matches have almost always been pulse -raising and gone to the wire.But will this rivalry match the one between Sampras and Agassi?only time will tell.Tennis fanatics all over the world including Yours truly will be hoping it does.
