I will never have such low expectations for Federer again

There is so much difference between saying that and saying Fed enters a match with an intent not to get humilated.

Given his age and his opponent's prime, he may not have been sure of a win, but saying that he was nervous because of a humilation prospect is pretty darn ridiculous.

Old man is on his way to become Delpo's pigeon.

Next year is going to be his most inconsistent a long time.

If I remember correctly, ONLY I and Bawsss chose the Roger Federer in two sets option before the match..

I still believe that Roger can win on indoors when it really matters and as far as final is concerned I go for Roger Federer in two sets

Easy now. I voted Federer in 3 before the match started. At least give me some credit for getting the player right
