Another candidate for POSITIVELY 4TH STREET.... LOL

Oh well, could be worse.... at least he ate his humble pie....

Bodo is the worst of the pack, he fully deserves it :

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that’s winning

You say I let you down
You know it’s not like that
If you’re so hurt
Why then don’t you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that’s not where it’s at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You’re in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I’d make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don’t know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”
But you don’t mean it

When you know as well as me
You’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I’d rob them

And now I know you’re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don’t you understand
It’s not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you

Dylan

Salzy may have been wrong, but he is one of the most well-known Internet coaches out there and people swear by his videos.

It is well known that Fed's BH can break down.

Remember that many of these guys write something because they have to, under some obligation to somebody.

It has nothing to do with his BH being one handed. It has something to do with his backhand being capable of breaking down.

And I surely am not the only person in the world who notices how much trouble Djokovic has with Federer's OHBH. Murray and Nadal can attack it, but again, what is this ridiculous BS about Federer's BH being some sort of big hindrance in success? Yeah it is against Nadal, but that ain't exactly news.

I mean, the only thing that this moron was missing, is him saying Federer needs to switch to a bigger frame.

Make up your mind. Is his backhand a hindrance or not? Don't make exceptions for Nadal.

Why not?

It is a hindrance against Nadal, but not against most people, because, you know, they are neither lefties, nor do they hit with that much RPM.

Nadal was his main rival at one time. So you cannot exclude him.

Then he shouldn't have mentioned Djokovic. Should've mentioned Murray instead, who picks on Federer's backhand much better and can handle Federer's slice well, as opposed to Djokovic.
