Forty Years of Champions (Part 2/2)

[gengiskkan]

but wher's Martina Hingis?

[kljMN2]

I never noticed until now that Steffi Graf didn't attend. That fact is an added bonus - I frankly can't stand her. Most overrated.

[milot1masha]

I love it for first Rodick then Maria then Federer:D

[nandhini178]

New York times reported next day that fed was the only champion in the house who got the standing ovation.... greatness!! :)

[dulisha]

@nandhini178 John McEnroe got standing ovation too since he is from New York. Watch video again. Anyway greatness personified in this video.

[Beyonceluver345]

[satishsatishiyer]

Thanks for posting this video...!!!!!

[Spong4hingis]

No Hingis?

[Delo6689]

She's banned from the sport for two years, remember?

[Peteypooooo]

No Steffi, Andre, Pete or Jimmy! tut tut tut! or Justine for that matter :-p

[abudanche]

The king gets the biggest cheer.

[championxeneixe]

Where is Seles?

[HeartBreakKid1987]

She was there!

[evasmaniatic]

[sheremeti]

I like How First It Was andy Rodick And then Maria Sharapova and Then Roger Federer....The Players that I love the MOST:D:D

[malwint]

It is sort of lame that Connors was not there. The New York crowd worshiped him and he couldn't pay them back by showing up?

[colm160875]

Graf, Sampras, Sanchez-Vicario, Hingis, Clijsters, Rafter, Hewitt,Mandlikova,Agassi I can't think of anymore but there may be one or two i left out. It's a shame they all could not be there...

[colm160875]

oh and of course Justine

[HeartBreakKid1987]

I did not miss Justine lol

[frodoireland]

Also Justine Henin

[hbdude155]

very admirable, thankyou

[theoriginalsafinette]

Rekseles thank you for posting this! I have been looking everywhere for it.

[mihaomi]

graf hingis?

[kinglear]

I don't know if Venus gets along with Kuznetsova, but I know Kuznetsova and Serena are friendly. That's what I meant. I didn't want to seem like a confused Venus and Serena. haha...just to clear that up.

[kinglear]

oh yeah, why was Venus glaring at Kuznetsova? Maybe Venus didn't mean to do that. I thought Kuznetsova and Serena were good friends.

[kinglear]

I honestly think Federer is going to win the U.S. Open this year.

[theoriginalsafinette]

I hope so.

[kinglear]

Yeah I hope so because it will prove that some things do stay the same. Plus, it would be a great boost for his confidence.

[Melancholio74]

where is the great steffi graf? hmmm - she should be there cos she was one of the best players ever! maybe she had no time ...hehehe

[kinglear]

Clijsters wasn't there either.

[theoriginalsafinette]

Neither was connors and edberg. I wonder what Marat was saying to the sisters. Venus is so unfriendly it seems.

[rekseles]

Yeah, Agassi wasn't there either

[rekseles]

And Pete Sampras and Justine Henin were missing too

[HeartBreakKid1987]

Connors was not there!!!
