I would have respected him even more if he had said "Bring Medvedev and Hurkacz out here. There's an arena full of people, you have a couple of hours left. You all want to see more tennis, right?"

That's what Comrade Novak would have done.

Come on, how do you know?

You mean, the same Novak who insisted that 2018 Wimbledon SF against Rafa should continue in indoors when there was bright sunshine next day?

The Novak bit was a joke to wind up easily aggravated Fed fans.

What about aggravated Fed haters who have made 10 threads till now to target him for something that he can't be blamed for.

By the way Med will resume tomorrow on CC

Raul_SJ said:

They should have given the players a choice:
Finish the match on CC today or resume tomorrow. What do you think the players would have chosen?

ibbi said:

I think the threads are aimed at the incompetent organization and suggesting they're conspiring to give Federer an advantage, but of course the easily aggravated Fed fans take them personally.

No, he is not in charge, and he cannot make a decision, but this thread is about respecting an individual. The players had already been sent home, they were not going to come back, but Federer didn't know that, and if he had just suggested such a thing it would have been a moment worthy of respect.

I hereby humbly express my respect towards the Swiss legend, Roger Federer.
What he's been doing on court at this stage of his career is nothing short of remarkable and I wish him all the good luck.

You just can't hate this guy

You just can't hate this guy, just stop doing it even if you do right now. Love and admire the show while its still going on, even you'll miss the guy once he's not there on court anymore.

Thanks & regards,

So many Nadal fans seem to be rooting for Federer. Puzzles me as historically is it not better for Djokovic to win out of the two this event as keeps Nadal joint top?
Back on topic Federer is the star of this event. It is truly remarkable what he is doing and if he makes the final he probably secures GOAT title regardless of what happens if he beats Medveeev and FAA or Mattel along the way.
He is an inspiration. Form is temporary class is permanent. Federer proving that each round.

Fed does deserve respect. But I would have respected him even more if he conceded that overrule on BP vs Sonego...if Djoker had done that there would have been 5 threads about it
