I don't speak Dutch but you can still understand the gist very often (and there are some English interviews in it)

Fantastic link!
Here's a little summary;
Michiel Schapers (tennis coach);
he's impressed the most by the distraction in Roger's game (and face). He claims that's the key of his succes. He also claims Roger is a normal dude who became a star, yet he remained a normal dude and that's good for tennis.
Martin Verkerk;
He played doubles with Roger and claims Roger was a very lazy guy; "he didn't do anything, no training, just whistling around.."
Martin never met a guy at 15 as lazy as Roger was..
Richard Krajicek;
Richard still remembers the first time they played each other; Richard fired a serve, usually an ace or a slice return at best, not this time against Roger; the ball came full speed right back at him..
Raymond Sluiter;
He once thought he had an easy draw against a 16 year old swiss lad, 2 sets later he knew better...
Jan Siemerink;
Like everybody else he knew he was a big talent but due to his former mentality he had doubts...
They all think Roger will break all the records in the book (Although Krajicek doubts he will win the Grand Slam 2 times).
Krajicek still regrets he never beat Roger. Krajicek 's little boy reminds him of that which he replies with; "but i've beaten Sampras". And then the little boy says; "who's that?"
I should visit this forum more often! Great link Nick - and the brief summary Greasepipe. :clap:
