Something seems physically wrong with him. I think his legs are giving out.

I don't understand why all (or a lot of) Fed fans are claiming that Fed has played like crap since the Olympics. Cincy doesn' t count then? Why not? He destroyed Djoko in the final. I would have thought Fed fans would remember that better than me.
It's like he's severely declined all of a sudden after Cincy. Yeah in pro tennis it can happen that fast.

Keyboard warriors know no shame.Hasn't anybody learned never to count out Federer? Especially on an indoor court. Seriously, come on now.
Isn't that the truth. Easy to win when you're at your best. Serving 40% in a set and still winning is very impressive.He just played a bad match and still won.
Delpotro will beat Djokovic then Roger will beat Delpo to win WTF
He's always got a chance. It's all big boys at this stage and the margins between them all are slight despite some of the inflated claims on this thread.
Wrong. Three big boys and one old man. It was somewhat clear to me even before the WTF began that Fed is not a serious contender here based on his year so far and his form.
Good stuff! :lol:
302lols
Well, 302 and all his achievements earlier in the year are precisely the reason why I thought he wouldn't do well here. He has played a lot already and has achieved his goals for the year. The weariness from all of it must be catching up. Add to it the fact that he is 5 years older than his nearest rivals.
Think 2009, when he similarly fulfilled most of his goals by Wimbledon. His post USO season then including WTF was quite meh, similar to this year.
Maybe.... It is coming....After Del Potro match... I am a bit more convinced.
As Federer's fan, I hope I am wrong, but he is definitely not at his best.

I think both are playing well below their best. Whoever wins tomorrow will probably be the one who plays closest to their own level.
Fingers crossed they can both step it up and it will be a great match, with Murray winning :)
Federer won't be beating Murray, or if he does it will be EXTREMELY close.

Federer is a magician.Ooops. Care to rewrite????
Federer lost to Del Potro and I thought Murray had his number at this point.I wouldve thought people would learn to not doubt Federer at this point...
It's like his age is right beneath his skin, yearning to break free. Most of the time he's in control of it, but sometimes he just looks slow and the age takes over. Other times he looks like a 25 year old...because he straight sets 25 year olds at their peak.I wouldve thought people would learn to not doubt Federer at this point...

He cannot win against the top guys
And he has been for several years.He IS one of the top guys.

Or even the end of 2002, but who's counting?Actually, since 2003 so more like a decade (let's presume he'll be one of the "top guys" in 2013 as well).

Because that is "several years". Several years could mean twenty years, ten years and the like.You aren't apparently, as you said "several years".

One could argue ten isn't many.No.
Several means more than two but not many.
