The Draw of the Century? shown below takes a look at potential match-ups among the top-32 mens pro players of all time and is meant for your pleasure and discussion. In attempting to analyze the players, Jim Hiser has placed athletes in the era' of their opponents (thus Sudsy with small racquets and slower ball). He has personally seen all of the selected athletes compete, plus solicited additional opinions from many of the "old timers" as well as newer pro's in researching the super-draw. We catch up this issue with the womens version of the Draw of the Century and our contenders have been busy! Mystery authors were on the phone for days collaborating on this version (and theyve got plenty of first-hand experience with these players), so enjoy their predictions. Look for the champions in January! |
