A year ago the debate was who’s the greatest athlete on the planet in their respective sport, Roger or Tiger? With Tiger holding on in epic form to take the U. S. Open but Roger without a Grand Slam title this year (losing in donut-hole embarrassing form to Nadal at the French) the debate now doesn’t seem as legit. Wimbledon, which starts today (Monday) will be the real test for Roger. This is his “home turf”, his dojo, his domain, where he’s won five times and looked flawless, like the best EVER. Will Roger trip and fall or have the Tiger-Gear that still sets him apart. Look for Roger to struggle, but rise to the King’s throne once again. (Sports Illustration #16)
