See that Australian Hewitt smashed the fading star recently.

 

Next the Australian cricket team could be doing the smashing,

 

Could be Australias year.

 

 

Just as well the Awesome Kiwis are here to keep them dingbats in check.

That comes about when sportsmen persist in sport participation when they should in fact have retired.   Hewitt was good at one stage and faded out when drug abuse became an issue in tennis.   He never won any major tennis tournaments for many years.   Federer should have retired when he reached the age of 31 at the latest.


How this loss can relates to rugby and cricket  remains a mystery to me.   I guess it has been stated because of Federer's links to South Africa.   That being the case it can as well be said that since Chad le Clos won the FINA Short course World Cup, breaking two world records in the process, therefore the  SA cricket and rugby teams are going to beat the Aussies and New Zealanders in the upcoming series of this year.


There is no logic in making those statements - lets see what happens this year before we start crowing.  Personally I think the Aussie cricket team - despite the bravado and hype - is going to have a tough time in SA.

Clevermike i can see your not quite the next Fibonacci so let me try to help you out with some simple algebra.

 

First the tennis ....Australia wins

 

 

Secondly the the cricket ....Australia wins.

 

 

Next the surfing and then the golf ....Australia wins.

 

 

Finally the Wallabies plays the Springboks....and dare i say it....

 

 

But there could be a pattern developing here could there not?

 

 

Like i was saying , It could be Australia's year.

@mikey,

admittedly i only know a little about tennis, but i saw on the news that fedex is ranked 6th (i think, cant remeber now cos i was a little tipsy at the time, o_O).
if he is ranked 6th, then thats nothing to sneeze at, thats still an achievement and a half isnt it??? i mean hes still the 6th best player in the world,

 Yes Sas, this myth that sportsmen must call it quits on their peak to protect their legacy is Bull. At no.6 he might still sneak in another major win and better his own world record. He still earns big bucks and his achievements will stand, regardless of what happens next. If he should how ever decides that he had enough, he can still step down at his own leisure.  His records will still stand.

He should have retired after winning Wimbledon last year. The difference in his long term marketability as the greatest of all time would have dwarfed any tournament earnings. Now I fear Nadal's continued dominance negates that concept. And losing to a rabbit like Hewitt is just downright embarrassing.

@mozter,

"He should have retired after winning Wimbledon last year. The difference in his long term marketability as the greatest of all time would have dwarfed any tournament earnings."
im pretty sure after all the years of being on top of the tennis world he more then has enough $$$ to never have to worry about his next paycheck ever.

so while its true he might make more cash as u suggest, why not stay in the game and try to add to his title collection???
he is a fierce competitor, and that drive which saw him rule the world for so long, is also the same thing which makes it illogical for him to step down.

and if federer won wimbledon last year, why in the world should he quit and miss out on this year??? o_O
his record as judge draad said will stand no matter what.

"And losing to a rabbit like Hewitt is just downright embarrassing."
hewitt also beat andy murray, dont forget that hewitt is a former No1, and while hes old and well past his prime, an old rattle snake past his prime can still bite and kill u, lolz, :oP

Two different views....nobody is right or wrong. But I believe he is hurting his reputation, with zero chance of winning another Major.
