It's funny, I don't see hatred from the Nadal fans over Djokovic, which seems strange. Their mass collective loathing has always been reserved for Roger. Maybe they will get amped up if Novak gets to 19 slams, assuming Rafa remains at that #. Djokovic beats Nadal consistently for the past 9 years, Nadal owned Fed for years, so it doesn't make any sense to me. I assume it's envy because Roger is universally beloved and Novak's never been a popular #1.

Actually not many of us hate either guy, it just feels like we are always getting into stupid arguments with fans from both, trying to take things from Rafa's legacy. (that goes all 3 ways, I know)
 
It used to be. That started dying when Djoker won W'19 and Rafa got to 19. Tons of Fed fans bailed.

Declining since way before that I think. When I joined, both TTW and the other tennis forum were completely overrun by aggressive fed fans. Couldn’t go a single thread without Nadal being called a pusher, cheater, doper, anti tennis, etc

Don't stress. When the bandwagon Fed fans leave new bandwagon Rafa / Djoker fans will take their place. Thats just how it works. Bandwagon fans need thier ego to be associated/tied to "the best player." When Rafa finishes Fed off the exodus will be glorious and younger fans worshipping Nadal will roll in.
Yeah this forum getting even worse is such a good thing.

Long gone are the days of 2017-2018.

I dislike any rabid fans of any of the great three. These greats are each amazing. No doubt. They are absolutely taking tennis to another level. But I am absolutely nauseous about the extreme fans of each. Get a life.

Of course there is nothing wrong with enjoying a particular player and cheering for them, but so many people here are over the top obsessive fans of just one player. That is not a true tennis fan. And it is disrespectful of the other fans, and other players.

Let's all just enjoy tennis! Surely recent events will show people that they should simply be happy to enjoy life and appreciate everything.

I'm probably closer to a maestronian but am a huge fan of the big three. Tired of Fed fans disrespecting Nadal and Djokovic's greatness. But also tired of Djokovic fans thinking he is the best thing to come to tennis since Jesus and Nadal fans who come up with the injury excuse every time (most players are injured in some form or way when they make it to a grandslam final).
 
Well that’s the myth that this forum is a fed fest proven wrong
It’s not a myth at all... the rats have started bailing ship since things went downhill fast for Fed the last 12 months. The 1-2 punch of W’19 and USO’19 bring Rafa to 19 ended the whole “Fed is undisputed GOAT” era and TONs of Fed fans left and/or became more toxic after that
 
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Many of us can’t wait for the bandwagon Fed fans to bail

This used to be a decent forum until it was overran with Fed haters / Djokotrolls in the past 12 months. Shame.
 
I wonder if the result of this poll was somewhat influenced by the fact Rafa won the USO, the davis and ended the year as number 1.

Permanent Fed fans here are obviously the majority because of his goat status, but when Nole or Rafa are doing great their fans normally become even more active than Fed fans.

Every fan base becomes more active when their player starts to win more. Not just rafa and Novak fans. Same applies to fed fans.
 
For Djokovic fans, it may as well be the other way around.
I get what you mean but looking at it objectively, around 2017 I didn’t see many Djokovic/Nadal haters. Maybe teninsanity and Kermit frog guy.

aside from that we had the pepe memes and field evolved jokes but nothing as bad as past 12 months imo.

Has it?:D
I joined in 2016 it seems to me it went from:

2016 - Djokovic will win 3 CYGS 30 slams 400 weeks at number 1.2015 Fed is peak because “he said so”
2017/2018 - return of the fedal. Lots of Pepe memes. “2017 Djokovic is peak, field evolved”. Lots of good times.
2019 - revenge of ultron. The dark times. Endless anti Federer troll threads. Return of the “2015 peak Fed” trolls etc.

Used to be a lot more civil, and less trolling and it was easier to tell everyone apart from each other, but honestly, it's always a good time at TTW. That's why I keep comin' back

Okay, look.

I absolutely value your take on this mess.

And that is why I'm requesting the most candid assessment of them all:

Who started the fire?!
 
Will check out the next couple there.

lol, that first one... I overlapped with a couple of those schlemiels. Every third poster in there banned or deleted. :D

2nd: I hosted that year's awards... good ol' Shacklycakes somehow credited with the OP there. :D

Where are you in any of those threads, btw? :unsure: No epic engagements with those hotheads?

I've probably had an epic engagement with everyone at this point 8-B
