    Rafa to win French '21

    The man, the myth, the legend. He's getting older but brings his A game regardless. Look for a lot of 6-0 6-1 scorelines in the Spaniards favor. Can't beat this dude on clay it's like playing Michael Jordan one on one.

    If he wins this he goes down the greatest sportsman of all time even better than Gretzky

    Problem I have with Gretzky is his wife got busted for running a sportsbook that took bets on games he played in. One of the best for sure but the toughest challenge ever would be facing Federer on grass, Rafa on clay, Jordan, or Mariano Rivera with an 0-2 count

    Nope. Toughest draw in history if you are Djokovic or Nadal.
    He's not close to 50% winning against Djokovic, Tsitsipas and 6 other guys before that.

    Beating Nadal on clay is the toughest of all those feats. You're talking about 4+ hours of grueling rallies. Federer on grass will involve a lot of serving due to the fast surface and quick points. Nadal on clay where a single point can last for a grueling 20 plus strokes makes it much tougher than any other feat in sports.

    Federer will overpower his opponent, Nadal will grind his opponents into exhaustion. The NBA should do a Curry family 3-pt shootout, Dell, Steph and Seth. Obviously Steph wins but it would be more entertaining than that 3 on 3 basketball tournament they do in the off-season.

    I don't think this major make any difference. Rafa isn't going anywhere. Djokovic might retire with more majors, but only because Rafa had a rough 2-3 year period full of injuries. But that's part of it I guess. I always said Fed is the best of all time but the last couple years I believe it's Rafa.

    +5000 ml dogs? I've never hit one of those in tennis. That's like betting on Rafa to go home in the first round lol. It's basically impossible.

    Never hit one either I have I hard enough time winning -200 favorites ml. One time I bet $1,000 on Paul Henri Mathieu +2000 against Rafa. Henri won the first set and then got annihilated.
