Azarenka and Federer, 2 peas in a pod

Both are great champions of the game we love. But sadly, in their utmost desire to win, they have shown their offensive nature to the public, probably their true colors. One is a cheater, the other a sore loser. What a shame !!

What Olderer said?

Hardly a sensible comparison, you must be a fan of someone?

What do you think of Rafa's MTOs against Petzschner at Wimbledon 2010 and Del Potro at Wimbledon 2011?

Why just Federer and Radwanska? There are so many other players you can add to this list including OPs favorite player.

Until someone can produce what was actually said, everything is pure speculation. Both players acknowledge that it wasn't a big deal. The OP is an expert at discerning poor sportsmanship, I imagine. I'm certain that he "accidentally" bumps shoulders with his opponent during changeovers all the time when he plays tennis.

Fed- "Maybe Tsonga's match affected me but I didnt lose because of that. He beat me fair and square" Sounds like sore loser

Federer a sore loser? This is nothing new. Remember his press conference after the 2011 USO SF?

It's easy to act classy when you're winning. In the top 4, only Djokovic is gracious in defeat (and Murray, to a lesser extent).

Once you start winning a lot, you forget how to lose gracefully. Remember how happy and all smiles Novak was when he'd lose in the semis or quarters a few years back against Fed, Nadal, etc. Wait until he starts losing again and see how graceful he is now that he's got it in his head that he'll always win.

If we could somehow superhuman the Roznol and bring him back to beat up on Murray and Nole it would be the greatest achievement ever! He wouldn't even need to win any grand slams. His sole job would be to just kill off the top players early on in surprising fashion. Oh the fun we could have!!!

And he hasn't changed at all.
