Default Federer is an amazing player, but has THE worst fans.

Federer fans are so bitter, spoiled, whiny ... Alot of them can't stand the fact that he is not the best player any more.


Whenever Federer looses, all I see is complaints! Just look at the topics on this forum since Federer lost to Andy.
  • Federer at 25 FAR superior than Murray now
  • Are Murray and Djockovic on something?
  • Does Murray have any fans?
  • Isnt tennis suffering an image crisis due to the current No 1s


When Fed wins 50 grand slams in a row, then it's like "Oh.. marvelous, astonishing!" But when Novak plays two matches well, it's like "HE IS ON STEROIDS! THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE! THAT IS AGAINST THE LAWS OF PHYSICS!"

Just appreciate game of tennis, and this wonderful era in tennis. Roger Federer is NOT tennis. He is the best player in history, as a Novak fan I accept that, but please do realize he isn't everything in tennis.

Fed fans are the quickest to give up on their man, reading the match threads are always hilarious

Well, he's 31.5 years old so I can accept that he's not the best player anymore.

His forehand is no longer the best.

His serve is nowhere near clutch.

But, I can't stand that tennis courts rewards defensive and physically superior players (only those who can rally all day) for 90% of the time.

What I want is change.

More upsets.

Attacking players like Roger doing well at places.

Defensive players like Novak doing well at other places.

Homogenised conditions are ******* me off. I want to see random people blast top seeds off the court more often.

Maybe speed up USO and Wimby and keep FO & AO slow.

They are insecure. No one would need to attack other players so often, or spin history if "their guy" was a true GOAT worthy of the cult-like praise he recieves by certain TW members. He's not the best playing right now, or a GOAT, so his fans have to badmouth other players (and their fans) repeatedly, because they are frightened that there is a strong chance of someone else erasing their "god's" majors records. That is obsession from a group who--obviously--invest too much of their lives in Federer.

Something is missing when appreciation turns into cult worship.

I hate Federer fans too, myself especially. Sometimes I look at my reflection in the mirror and cry and cry and cry... that's Roger's influence on me.

This +10.

These same emo brats who (to this day) feel compelled to rip and slander Sampras at every opportunity. Especially when Fed was on top.

You can't tar every supporter of Federer because of the posts of a few idiots.
When Fed wins 50 grand slams in a row, then it's like "Oh.. marvelous, astonishing!" But when Novak plays two matches well, it's like "HE IS ON STEROIDS! THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE! THAT IS AGAINST THE LAWS OF PHYSICS!"

You can't tar every supporter of Federer with this brush because of the posts of a few idiots.

Also, because Federer's so darn popular all over the world, even if you tried you'd need a really big brush

It's "loses", not "looses".

And statistically if there are so many of them let's say 10 million Federer fans for example and 1% of them are idiots, that's 1 million idiots which is a lot whereas if Murray has 100,000 fans, 1% of that is only 10,000 idiots, far less of a negative impact and scourge to the world but still the same proportion.

Edit: As The Bawss has succinctly pointed out, it's 1000 Murray idiots. And 100,000 Federer idiots not 1 million!

I think it's naive to think one fan group is inherently worse (on average) than another. Every fan group of a top 4 player has their fair share of dunces.

Please, like Sampras fans don't bash the heck out of Fed.

I think you're over-counting idiots by a factor of ten here

That is the worst math fail in recent memory. Absolutely hilarious.

Small wonder you are a Murray fan.
