I didnt say that and if that was what your summary of my comment, then I am not sure who can help you here. Read my lips :Nick was acting like a CLOWN.



I dont have to wish, you are showing it big time.

I didn't see Kyrgios acting like a clown when the incident occurred. He was angered, rightfully so.

I am showing that you caught me wrong several times? Do you feel like pointing the quotes out?

Even at age 35/36 Federer essentially outserves a top 3 server on tour because the gap in returning is bigger than the gap in serving. Such is the beauty of his serve game+first return game which has basically made him all his money in his career because combined, I don't think anyone even comes close to it and it takes a perfect serving day from a Karlovic/Raonic/Roddick to outserve Federer (and even then I daresay he's outserved them most of the time)
 
Didn't watch. Looks like it was epic. Stats shows Federer was much better player overall but his BP conversion rate was pathetic (2/12). Hence the close match.


54/38 UE vs 38/34.
 
I watched most of the match but had to leave for a bit. There are so many posts here, can someone summarize this? Someone cheated? I came back to see him yell the F word at the crowd. What did I miss? Thanks.
 
Hewitt has helped him greatly, no question. He may not need a coach but a psychologist coupled with informal help which has been great so far. I mean look at his overall improvement since last year.

Nick had match on racket. Crowd interrupted. Roger got break. Served it out and won. Endorsed crowd's behavior in post-match interview. As did his wife.

Apparently someone yelled out in the middle of the point when nick was serving 5-4 in the third set TB. That's it.
 
The comments about Nick "behaving himself recently" and the crowd being unfair are pretty naive. He's built up a mountain of bad will in the last two years. He embraced the role of the heel, (the comment to Wawrinka, "I don't owe them anything" etc etc) and panto crowd booing is the territory that comes with it. If he wants to be treated as someone who hasn't baited and insulted the crowd and the game then he's going to have to spend his time in purgatory and take his medicine for a decent stretch of time and display a bit of humility before he wins them back - as he should.

I don't like to see crude calling out mid point or on serve but if you wanted a blueprint of how to razz up that element of the crowd then his approach could hardly be bested. Isn't there something in the good book about reaping and sowing? Seems like Nicky needs to come to Jesus.

Interesting response from Federer regarding a crowd that was booing, yelling, whistling and interrupting during Nick's service games.

In your legend's own words: "Nice atmosphere".

Money (nor GS titles) can buy class.

Officially off the FedExpress bandwagon. Enjoy, folks.

What could he say about the crowd? I mean seriously, what could he say?!

Nick, by smashing the racquet, proved their approach towards him. Plus, Fed is very popular, and his opponents should be ready for that.
 
Martin J said:
If Nick thinks that he doesn't need a psychologist, then he is deluded. He simply cannot allow someone from the crowd to break his concentration if he wants to win the big titles.
Anyway, I'm glad Fed pulled it out, great nerves and overall mental strength. Another Fedal final!

Did Fed have Mp(s) in second set?

"Well, I was not expecting the crowd to be so hostile against my opponent today...he played exceptionally well and deserve as much respect as myself on this court..."

"I was a bit surprised at the crowd's reaction tonight...and while I can appreciate the fan support, I did not appreciate and cannot endorse interruption of the match...fair is fair..."

....and that's just off the top of my head. He has the respect, but once again, fails in the decency department. Classy my foot.

So who will win slams? Somebody has to after Fedal/Djokovic/Murray. Kyrgios and Zverev are looking like the best prospects at the moment.

Yeah, it's absurd to think that a guy with Kyrgios' game will only win one slam.
He'll need a cataclysmic injury (a la Delpo) to derail him.
He may even begin his run this year. He'll be extremely hard to beat on the fast surfaces if he is already impossible to break on the slow HCs.
