    Congrats to Nadal on 18th Slam!

    Sureshs brings the standard of 'epic fail' to a new level

    What if Kevin Anderson won't get out of bed?

    Maybe he is sleepwalking?

    Fastest Wimbledon final ever?

    The real final was yesterday.

    Men earn massively more than women in tennis!

    Don't want to get too political on a tennis forum but the left-leaning media and thought leaders need to re-evaluate their priorities and stop playing identity politics. Silly arguments like this leads to painting the 'liberals' as communist and 'bleeding heart' SJWs and pushes people away from...

    Men earn massively more than women in tennis!

    I am failing to understand what the argument is. If you are trying to counter a view that suggests that there is 'equal' pay for men and women in tennis, then few will argue with you. In fact, most replies here, just like mine, already presuppose this as a given. Much more people assumed that...

    It is a crime...

    I wonder if there are any stats in terms of the viewership drawn by the two sexes. I would be surprised if women's tennis is able to reach even a fraction of men's numbers but I am probably biased.

    As a Fed fan, This SF made me like Nadal ..

    Chances are that you would have sung a different song had Nadal progressed and had TTW been filled with gloating turds taking a dig at the other fan bases. But yes, Nadal is a major inspiration. He works hard and never gives up.

    Djokovic will protect Federer's slam lead

    Why did the "real deal" do worse than the paper champ in the stats during the time both were professional tennis players?

    Can Fed win US Open?

    He can, in fact he has won it multiple times.

    Did the closed roof make a difference in the end?

    A roof conspiracy not involving Federer. Spicy.

    Men earn massively more than women in tennis!

    Gender discrimination occurs when a gender performs a job as good as or better than another gender but gets paid less nevertheless. If we define the job of the tennis player to involve winning matches as well as drawing in crowds, then there is no discrimination - ie they get paid what they...

    Novak Djokovic belongs in the Fedal tier.

    For me, he's been in that tier for a long time.

    Who had a more disappointing defeat at Wimbledon 2018- Nadal or Federer?

    Nadal. As a Federer fan, I am not hugely disappointed by Federer's exit because he was unlikely to win the title with his level of play, anyway. On the other hand, had Nadal converted one of those BPs, he would be the massive favourite to win another Wimbledon (non-RG slam!) and get closer to...

    Seen guys with Mental strength. Then there was Novak Djokovic today

    I really thought he would lose at 7:7 (when he started shouting) but somehow he came back. I didn't see it coming. Nadal looked very determined to win.

    2018 Wimbledon SF: [2] Nadal vs. [12] Djokovic

    What an amazing match, true legends!

    2018 Wimbledon QF: [1] Federer Vs. [8] Anderson

    He is a decent top 10 player but no, just because Federer played crap doesn't make Anderson some sort of a hall famer now. He would have lost in 3 on most other days.

    2018 Indian Wells F: [1] Roger Federer vs. [6] Juan Martin Del Potro

    This is disappointing but I can see the trauma Federer's resurgence has caused you. I won't stoop as low as you to say anything negative about Laver though.

    2018 Indian Wells F: [1] Roger Federer vs. [6] Juan Martin Del Potro

    You know Fed was cranky and things didn’t go his way today but he won a thriller tie break and then lost in another tie break. Many in his situation would have been stream rolled in two and claimed injury.. :rolleyes:

    2018 Indian Wells F: [1] Roger Federer vs. [6] Juan Martin Del Potro

    Well, Federer didn’t deserve to win today. But losing may be required sometimes to come back stronger. Great win for Del Potro. Hope he is a contender in the slams too.

    2018 Indian Wells SF: [1] Roger Federer vs. Borna Coric

    Federer had a bad day in the office but didn’t give up so kudos to him. Was it the wind or something? Hopefully he finds his groove in the final / Miami.

    Is getting to number 1 when others are not playing

    There is some emptiness in Nadal's RG victories given that he hasn't faced any of the clay greats like Borg - what do you think?
  22. billnepill

    Fed fans only: Should Roger play clay?

    No. Because 1) Clay requires a lot of defense and running around 2) At 36, Federer can't afford much of that if he wants to play much longer and 3) that's the area in which he's declined the most since his prime days 4) He will also thus avoid injuries and 5) gets to focus his training and...

    It is such a signature style. I wonder why he changed it in the first place!

    Nadal in RG. Facts don’t lie.

    "This guy is very bad, he will never be #1"--Gaudio about Federer

    How can anyone call Federer "very bad" at any stage of his career? Even if Gaudio is terrible in evaluating how good a player really is, he could have referred to some common knowledge at the time - he was a Junior Wimbledon champion in 1998 and major prospect to begin with.. He could said many...

    I hope Federer retires

    No one really cares that Sampras went out "On Top" and doesn't add anything to his legacy. If anything, he may have missed out on slams and was surpassed by Nadal, likely to be surpassed by Djokovic too.

    Cilic: I didn’t feel those conditions before

    Wow, Cillic has never been inside in 24 C temperature? He should really give it a go!

    Why doesn't Federer take pity on us and retire?

    Wow, everything makes sense now. Federer has been around in the last 7 years just to mess with sureshs!

    Cilic: I didn’t feel those conditions before

    Really? So if there is rain, the organizers would obtain the permission of the player before closing the roof and won't do so if not approved by the player? Do you have source for your assertion?
