Good ol' Pistol Pete was on a conference call today with reporters and naturally he was asked about the current kings of tennis - here are a few things he had to say about Rafael Nadal & Roger Federer.
Pete thinks Rafa can retire with more Slams than Roger, "If he's smart with his schedule and the fact that he has so many at such a young age, he could very well do it. The only question with Rafa is physically how much his body can handle the pounding with how hard he works for every point. You just watch him play, the kid is relentless."
Pete's response to whether Rafa needs to win more Slams to be in the conversation with the all-time greats, "He's won all the majors. He's won the Olympics. He's dominated his main rival, in Roger. I don't think his goal is 16, or 17 or 18, he's just going to try to improve as a tennis player and if it happens, great."
Before you Fedophiles freak he did show Rog some love, "He's a strong favorite for every major he plays. He had two match points against (Novak) Djokovic. He could very well have been in the final. He's playing fine, I don't see any big decline. Other guys are playing better. The next two or three years is a challenging time. But Roger is up to the task and can win more majors."
