Fraud exposed

The game has evolved, so has Kokkinakis. Game passed fed by.

Yes, I noticed that also. The facial structure.

Kokk's face looks like it didn't grow right. The entire lower half looks too far back.

Federer was too relaxed in this match. Low intensity.
I believe his head was already on clay season.

He's not playing clay. Rip Fred til grass season

acintya · Mar 24, 2018

o man i think i shouldnt be cheering for Fed lol
i bring the Unluckerer

sorry Fed fans.

it was from the (not bottom of my) heart!

now.. the press and Angryrer

watungga · Mar 24, 2018

Fed's not interested to be in Miami for long. His feet very lazy.
I think this is all Mirka's plan.

Great, now the top half is opened up for Zverev and Coric, hurrah!

No big4 after R2...

Just what I thought - when's the last time that happened?

I won't complain. Still a great start to the year - AO win, oldest ever #1. IW win would have been nice since he had three MP but can't begrudge Delpo the win.

oh well, federer should get #1 back soon enough. In the mean time, maybe figure out how to hit a forehand again?

Eh, how exactly? I sincerely doubt he's playing clay and he can't pick any points on grass almost.

Well congrats to Rafa. That's some way to get back #1, a early he never thought.

@stringertom
I know you are a Fed fan.
But 40 points hey?
We got it!!!
Your liberalism was an inspiration.

Flaccid play from Fed against the Kokk

Fed had enough oppurtunities but let the Kok back in again and again

I had a thread ready for Federer vs Verdasco. I even wrote a whole paragraph for it...

well, you should have created a thread for this match!

looks foolish now...

Red Rick · Mar 24, 2018

The news is that Nadal will be the new #1

The glorious news is obviously that the road for Fognini to the finals is wide open

Perhaps he means that Rafa won't defend his clay points.

NBP · Mar 24, 2018

Just lol if you think Federer is really, really not going to play until June the 19th. He's playing clay.

My god

Nadal will vulture those weeks at #1 now..

Federer has to play clay.

Kokk will lose to Fiasco. I would be shocked if he advanced further.

Was thinking about his overall career not momentum in this tourney.

If I'm not mistaking him for someone else, the Kokk was almost thinking about retiring recently because he's so injury prone already at such a young age.

LOL how did this happen?

The positive is the Miami vulture is probably going to be someone younger.

Sysyphus · Mar 24, 2018

LMFAO

Fed has lost 7 times now since his comeback.

3 of those to players outside the top 100.

Bill W · Mar 24, 2018

Maybe Fed should not have been in Chicago and at the beach - maybe taking a littler more serious preparation was the right thing to do.

BeatlesFan · Mar 24, 2018

WTH just happened? That was below 2013 level of play from Federer.

Nadal getting number one while fishing....first time ever in the history of professional tennis...what a guy.

Yes! He won!

Im hoping for a Nick Fabio match next round.

Badabing888 · Mar 24, 2018

And out goes Fed. He lost his forehand in that 3rd set and again just could not find that crucial break in the 3rd set. Kok played well, but should have been warned more than once for going over 25 seconds. He was well over even after being warned.

Pablo1989 · Mar 24, 2018

Vamoooooooooooos!!

In that case, a good win for Kokk. I support him to at least win his next match

ACE of Hearts · Mar 24, 2018

Rafaelito has a lot of points to defend on clay and he's not a sure thing with that hip injury.

Federer is the ultimate leftist. Will only lose to the little man.

Nah. Federer already has the most weeks at number 1 and there's nobody who's within touching distance.

Rest up and get ready for the most important tournament in tenni - Wimbledon. Time to try to get 21 , 9 slams more than Novak.

TruthIncarnate · Mar 24, 2018

I know they've never been fast, but the Indian Wells and Miami courts have both looked so slow this year. Fed having to sustain these rallies is tough. He was just holding on in this match.

jimjam · Mar 24, 2018

When was the last time both Fed and Djokovic lost their first match in the same tournament? I guess it's probably never happened.

The Kokk looks like the Poo and Delpo's love child.

Chanwan · Mar 24, 2018

Damn. Fed had chances in pretty much every Kokk game in the 3rd while cruising behind his own.
Had he made that chip and charge return at 5-6 0-30 he probably wins. Pretty horrible breaker again.

Congrats to the Kokk on his biggest career win. Came up with some big forehands and serves in the 3rd.
And congrats to the new world no 1

Thats how we roll in weak era.
Next time aim for becoming number one while partying in Mexico.

This is why Federer gets the sportsmanship awards. He truly helps the other players.

mightyjeditribble · Mar 24, 2018

I won't read anything into this for now. Didn't manage to get into the court and conditions, and ran into a qualifier who had already played a bunch of matches and was. Add a bad day at the office, and you get a loss like this. To be expected to happen at his age, more surprising that it hasn't happened at the big events last year and this.
