Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2176772, member: 1917"] I don't think any less of Federer for crying. In fact, I don't blame him, as I reckon everything he truly wanted to achieve in tennis (being recognized as the best ever, slams record, the grand slam etc.) he realised he would probably never achieve (and yes, I don't believe he will achieve those things). IMO he had his dreams shattered last night, so you can hardly blame him. As for mental fortitude, I don't really think he has much of it. Certainly not to the level that champions in other sports possess. Even when he comes back to win (like vs Berdych) I think it often has less to do with his mental toughness and more to do with his opponent's weakness. If Federer had Nadal's strength, he would already have 20+ slams by now IMO. Oh, and on the equal prize money thing. Business side of things = $$$ from TV Ratings, and IMO men's TV ratings would definitely trumpet Women's. And even if it didn't, the idea that Williams and Safina would get the same as Nadal and Federer just doesn't strike me as being right. [/QUOTE]
