Default What's Simon mindset when he goes against Federer?

Can anyone offer any details on what you think is his mind set is? Tactics are also welcome, as well as an overall strategy.

"I will keep getting the ball back until he shanks it out".

Honestly, that is probably what he thinks.

Get the ball back and wait until Fed loses patience (hint: he loses patience easily)

I dont, i wouldnt even wanna watch a match with Simon unless he plays Fed or unless im betting on it. Federer however, is a lot more fun to watch than Nadal. Nadal, effective? Yes. Fun to watch? Nooo...hooo...ooo!

What's soo boring with Nadal? i think he's great to watch. Federer's game is not my cup of tea to be honest.

Federer may be a lot of things (a magician of precision , a winning machine, a talented player, etc) but one thing he's NOT for sure is "fun". I can actually think of very few things that would be less fun than Fed (a prison cell? A church graveyard?) Happy Halloween by the way!

Listen, i can respect what Nadal has done on a tenniscourt. He uses what he got to the limits, but it has already starting to cost him dearly (hint:injuries) but I find his style of play extremely boring, Federers game is a beauty to watch imo. His technique is the best the world has ever seen and he floats around on court effoertlessly.

A lot of fellas believe that Federer is never passive with his play. Well, he slices almost ever return when played to his backhand playing agaisnt the big servers and that is real boring imo.

His technique is also very repetitive and tedious, shall we say surgical and passionless as well? And given the # of UEs he's had in his matches this year maybe he should stop floating and get glasses to keep the ball within the lines more often!
