1. He doesn't.

2. So what if he did (or that he does more often than many other players, as it's actually)?. That is as much breaking the rules as someone who goes over the time limit less often. Who are you to say it's OK to do it X amount of times in a match, but not Y amount of times?. you're just applying your own discretion there.

During Roger's first match in the late first set, the commentator said Roger's average time between point was 15 secounds and his apponent was 18.

with less than 15 seconds to serve, federer will give orgasm fits to his fanboys. he and grass specialists and random big servers will populate the top 5. no point construction needed since there'll be mostly ace winners.

sky commentguy trashed djokovic today but he admired kevin anderson's play even though kevin was down 2-6.
if fed escaped with 7-6 (11-9), the fedfan dweeb would praise fed like he never sweated and was just relaxing with fun, quick efficient games!

It's not just the serving.
The whole approach to the match will be different.
A player will start a match knowing he goes into routine 20 cycle.
more exitement. Nothing to do with Fed in particular.

Wait, wait, wait. So increasing the pace of play will also speed up the courts, lighten the balls, take away poly and make everyone crappier returners?

Goddamn, no wonder Rafa plays so slow.

Both Sam and Doug are confirmed Fed worshipers so they are hardly unbiased, objective commentators.Funny how people aren't complaining about how slow Leonardo Mayer was in yesterday's match. He was consistently taking longer than Rafa between points but I guess dissing Leonardo doesn't get as much traction on this board as dissing Rafa.

I can't believe anyone takes these commentators seriously. They are so blatantly biased it's pathetic, and boy are they good at turning a blind eye to members of their clique. I find their commentary entirely worthless.
