I like the attitude, hopefully the execution comes soon.

Probably trying to get in the zone a head of a possible match with Rafa.
Gasquet doesn't want Federer to get to the SF, so Nadal can clinch the number one ranking. Or maybe because of Fed's comment about the French making their players big before they're fully developed. Uh huh.

That's what I think too, but gotta be careful, it's not the best thing to do against Gasquet. Too many backhands for Gasquet to hit too

Gasquet is playing super aggro to exploit Fed's movement. Fed should be super aggro himself to counter that

Such arrogance. No respect for Gasquet.
Better for him to practice it against Gasquet rather than Del Potro or worse still Nadal.

It's not there yet. If he gets through to the final we may have to wait till he's a break down in the final set before really seeing it.

Gasquet be like: O, Federer is at the net, I should just lose the point! He had good oportunities to lob him or pass him a lot of times this set, and nothing

There were a lot of complaints at the Us Open because of Nadal's so called "easy draw"

lol "so called". It was a joke of a draw, just as Federer's. Get over it.

It's the biggest joke of a draw I have seen in the past 15 years at least. That doesn't take anything away from Rafa though.

Yes it does. And it takes even more away from Federer since he was in the same half as Nadal and couldn't even get to him.

Congrats for losing the first set 5-7, Reeshard!
In the last 7 matches over the last 7 years, he hasn't taken more than 4 games off Fred in a set

The draw wasn't that tough, I agree, but don't you think Fed fans talking about weak draws is pure hypocrisy, it's just like they have forgotten the 2004-2007 era
Amen Bro!
Good Lord! Why are you trying to stir things up? Nadal won the US open. Be happy. Federer has been called "weak era" champion for decades now (like you just did).Don't worry you will survive too snowflake.

I don't call him weak era champion, he is a true champion and the GOAT for now, but don't try to dismantle Nadal's achievments. And let's not forget Rafa is 5 years youngerGood Lord!
