When Fed is aggressive he's unbeatable

[Mick3391]

It's not just me saying this, I've heard many "Experts" say that when Fed mixes it up, chip and charge, serve and volley, play baseline, he confuses these guys and tears them to pieces.

Saw that with Djokavich in Cincinnati, and today second set he DESTROYED Murray at the net!

It's my opinion that the baseliners are great baseliners, but can't handle true all court playing, I mean it wasn't even close. When Fed hangs back, it seems to be a matter of "Who makes the most mistakes", but when he takes it to them they get confused, they never know if it's going deep or short, and when Fed is at the net his reflexes and experience take over.

He's 31, ancient in Tennis years, but when he's aggressive he just shakes up these baseliners, confuses them and takes them out of their game.

Wow, 1 data point from 6.5 years ago really proves your point. Did Federer kill your dog?

This court also helps Fed play his ll court game. The lower bounce helps him not get pushed back on his backhand wing, and also he is able to be aggressive with his back hand.

Ok can we please calm down. Federer was losing that match, lucked out in the tiebreak then Murray played like the mental midget he really is and made 30 UEs to hand Fed an easy victory. Some ****s need to get a grip.

Of course I watched it.

Fed never loses when he wins, just like nadal.

Fed had luck on his side but he played a lot better than yesterday!

30 is the age when the spine loses flexibility and the blood vessels in it start to get "fossilized" with calcium (so the spine essentially starts to die and this process is irreversible until the very death of the human).

The muscles lose their ability to contract explosively, the brain loses its reaction time, the eyeball muscles begin to degenerate which decreases the ability to track fast-moving objects, the vision itself gets worse, and the stamina is depleted much sooner than during the peak 16-26 age.

The fact that Federer can still hang on with the young and best players in the world is remarkable. The fact that he even beats them from time to time is a biological anomaly.

Geez it's not like he is 60. Fed's in great shape for 30, but there are lots of other pros who are still playing well at that age. Look at David Ferrer, playing the best tennis of his life at 30. Tommy Haas is 34, and still top 20!

What are you on about now? The 2006 Dubai final was a classic case of "punching yourself out". Federer was over Nadal like a rag doll in the first set, showing a lot of aggression, and looked certain to hit the killer blow in both the second and third sets, but Nadal hung in there and managed to deliver the knockout blows himself. Federer was really annoyed when he lost. Then he calmed down and a nice chat with Nadal at the side of the court as they awaiting the trophy presentations.

Federer can lose when he's very aggressive. That match proved it. Now please chill out. Federer is doing fantastic in these World Tour Finals, and has a chance to win it for the seventh time tomorrow, which would be remarkable.

When Karlovic serving 80% first serve he's unbeatable

Fed's spine is dying?

Come on. "Remarkable" for an achievement like that? If Fed wins tomorrow it would imply a quasi-certainty that we will not see that record surpassed in our lifetimes.
