Who cares who's the GOAT?

I don't know... I wrote an article about Federer, Sampras and Lendl. The idea was to see how much truth there was in the claim that 'Federer won so much because he didn't have valid opponents'. I found it to be quite reasonably false. Still the article generated a lot of comments based on plenty of topics that I did not approach (most of all 'who can be considered to be the Greatest Of All Time?')

Here it is: "Federer, Sampras, Lendl e gli avversari"

It is in italian, of course, but I'll try to make an english translation... some day...

C'era una volta il serve and volley

Stefan Edberg fu il primo ad appassionarmi al tennis. Ed ora ho avuto l'occasione di scrivere un suo profilo. Spero di avergli reso onore almeno un po'...
Potete leggerlo su Ubitennis ovviamente.

A first post about tennis:

As it happens i am collaborating with ubitennis lately. It's a website about... tennis (of course!), and it is owned by Ubaldo Scanagatta, one of the most important journalists specialized in tennis in Italy. So I'm quite thankful for the opportunity to write about my (only) favourite sport.
And, as it happens, I have a blog now. So why not use it to post my articles? Yeah! Easy!
They're in italian (as you might have imagined), so if you don't know the language don't bother clicking... or click and translate with babelfish, it could turn out to be a pretty funny experience.
Anyway... here are my first articles:

• La struttura delle rivoluzioni tennistiche: About the evolution of the sport in the last 30 years.

• Le 19 finali di Ivan il Terribile: About Ivan Lendl and his records.

• Federer più forte di Sampras: Comparison between Roger Federer and Pete Sampras.

Have fun.
