Federer: "All the tennis players have to bow to Nadal"

clayqueen · Jun 13, 2018

"It's incredible, all the players on the circuit have no choice but to bow to him, only the superlatives fit," Federer said before participating in the Stuttgart tournament where he reappears on Wednesday at the circuit.

I take my hat off to Federer for acknowledging that what Rafa has achieved is extraordinary. They respect and admire each other's achievements.

I hope Federer gets his own La décima at Halle

It will not stop you to throw dirt at him at the first chance.

Federer knows Nadal's career is nearing in level with his own.

Bow to him? Fed is spouting nonsense, the players have to stand up. Enough being pushed around by geriatrics! #NextStandUp

I don't get why some try to assign Fed "Spanish achievements".

Why, is there another easy draw waiting for him at the US Open?

That is correct.

He had to play every time Djoko in the SF.

And many more.

Federer is a classy humble GOAT. He tops Nadal in everything that he does, including being classy.

Deleted member 77403 · Jun 13, 2018

Federer is the biggest Nadal fanboy around

I wouldn't be surprised if he is going around saying - 23-15 baby!

Are those the times Nadsy boy either didn't participate, or was on the other side of the draw.

Jeebus.

Nice question marks by the way, don't forget to identify that you are owned by the spanish culture.

Nothing. But his Nadal hate is so strong that it translates to the whole country. He hates everything about Nadal. If Federer keeps praising Nadal so often then Tennis_Hands might start hating Federer too.

We Fed fans should all take a page out of Fed's book. Let's show Nadal some respect. After all, he has earned it.

Certainly never had to face a Kevin Anderson in the final. That's for sure!
But let's not derail the thread. This is about the GOAT showing appreciation to Nadal.

He got to face a Delpo just like Nadal but that didn’t went well for Federer

Well that's true. A 36 year old injured Federer would have found anyone tough, including Kevin Anderson himself.

But that's for another thread, ofcourse!

Nah just kidding, why would we listen to someone who’s balding?I

He is losing a lot of his hair. He looked ridiculous at Wimbledon last year and is starting to resemble Steve McLaren with the hair island.

Get a transplant Roger!

The spanish whiny girls that caused the move from 16 seeds at Wimbledon were long before Nadsy boy.

You should inform yourself before you post.

Also, rampant doping in the country, government supporting dopers, high-ranking officials talking about free doping.

Also, I detest people that are culturally enslaved and defend cheaters at any price. Especially if they go for innocence before the act.

Nothing better at putting a mirror against their faces.

Nadal is small potatoes in whole this (but is part of the picture).

Didn't know any of that. Thanks for telling me all the great things about Spain. So optimistic and constructive of you as usual.

Meeting Del Potro in QF and in SF after he has met Federer is "just like"?

Now I understand why the vamosalaplayans claim that Federer and Nadal have similar draws!

If Federer has gone through several tough opponents, and finally meets Nadsy in the final, Nadsy had the same draw!!!!

Hooooohoooo

I don't insult or abuse Nadal. I like Nadal. I am greedy at times and want him to lose so that the slam race ends and all. But don't get me wrong I like Nadal a lot.
And yes I can learn from Rog. We all can.
I try very much to learn from him.

I have a house not far from Costa del Sol (ask someone where that is, if you don't know), and have spanish art.

I think that I am reasonably well aquainted with their way of life, and cultural predispositions.

And yet you choose to talk about everything that is supposedly bad with the Spanish on a thread which is about the appreciation of two greatest players of all time and how they respect each other.
