2021 Wimbledon is Fed’s LAST chance.

[McEnborg]

I have so much respect and admiration for Fed. Still think he’s the greatest and most talented player the game has ever seen, male or female.

He still plays very, very well at 39 3/4 yrs old. But, he has ZERO chance to win the Australian, French or US Open again. He moves at 85-90% of what he did even 2-4 yrs ago. Strokes and serve are still top 10-20 worthy but not his court coverage, especially laterally. Hope he has that one final run in him at Wimbledon, but that’s a stretch unless he’s serving at his absolute peak. Most of his fans would prefer to see him retire by or before the end of the year.

He has NO chance to win Seven best of 5 matches at the US Open with the likes of Zverev, Medvedev, Rublev, Tsitsipas, Thiem, Shapo, Sinner...all 13-20 years younger. Let alone Rafa or Novak.

Nothing a couple of voodoo dolls can't fix

 

[HardCourtMaestro]

Nole will open the bakery, this man just choked vs some first round 1 plumber in BO3

 

[TheNachoMan]

Nothing like grass with pure British salt

 

[Checkmate]

His footwork will always be a piece of art.

He still gets to attacking positions faster than most players on the tour.

No urgent measures will help him find his former level. Give him 5-6 tournaments and you will see a different Federer.

He didn’t choke. He got tired and faded in the third.

 

[Red Rick]

Think 2021 Wimbledon is more like 2 years too late.

 

[HardCourtMaestro]

He didn’t choke. He got tired and faded in the third.

His fitness is done unfortunately, to be expected as 40 and not being pumped to gills like Lance Armstrong you know who

 

[Thriller]

Unless there is a significant improvement, Federer is a waste of a seed at Wimbledon and his current standard of play has no business being anywhere near a show court in the 1st week.

British salt is so beautiful.

 

[RoS]

2019 was already his last chance.

Federer with his serve can still make the second week in Wimbledon, but no more.

No way he is beating Djokovic anyway.

 

[Kralingen]

39 year old coming off of arthroscopic knee surgery, COVID break, and has played 3 matches in the last 365 days? I mean what did you expect?

A nobody eating grass and flukily winning 5 wimbledon titles against a clay court specialist, ultra old Federer and Anderson ?

Very little. I wasn't disappointed.
Of the big 3 he had the best movement and the worst racquet skills. I always expected him to suffer the most when he lost a step.
He has done well to last this long but the game is up.

 

[catskillthunder]

All it takes is one magical run and you know the fans will be behind him 100% there. Connors had that type of run at the USO at the end of his career and the fans went absolutely insane with each win he had.

Stay salty, bud.

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I'm amazed anyone thinks he is going to win Wimbledon. QF at best. Heroic loss to someone or other.

If he didn’t have injury would of been competitive up till now semis of Australia 2020 even though he saved 7 MPs vs Sandy

He ain’t winning Wimby be lucky to make 4th round

 

[Deleted member 748597]

Not salty, facts, Djokovic had to wait for Fed to get old. Novaks entire career is based upon flukes and it always has been

I enjoy your salty tears, bud.

His sensational movement covered up a lot of technical deficiencies, especially on the backhand side. He is super-exposed now.
Without his movement and his aura he is going to get torn apart. Could you imagine what Karatsev or Sinner would have done with this version of Fed? They would still be cleaning up the entrails.

You let the cat out of the bag didn't you. point proven that you were never a Fed fan "rookie"

 

[Martin J]

Just watching him play on grass is enjoyable enough for me. Let's hope he wins more matches and stays at the tournament as long as possible.

 

[King No1e]

He's gonna choke 2 MP's vs Zverev in the final and raise the worldwide suicide rate by a few % points.

 

[HardCourtMaestro]

The alternative is a clay specialist will be top of slam count- do you want that?!

The 8 time winner and the finalist last time is a waste of seed? Ombliebable level of salt in this thread no? Even after Rafa is supposed to overtake Roger. What did Roger do to you. Did he refuse to sign your autograph or something lol

 

[junior74]

Zero chance

 

[40-15 still haunts me]

I’ll be writing a special post when Federer lifts his 9th Wimbledon title in a few months, proving people wrong is what I do best baby

 

[TheNachoMan]

Followed by screams of “LETS GOOO” and “ITS MY TIME”

 

[Forehanderer]

No fed fan will have "4015 still haunts me". This is an account started yesterday. How many of you haters are here to gang up on the old legend. get a life will ya. not to mention the already existing trolls hanging over these threads to vulture the "dead" man

You don't get seeded because people like you and wish you well.
This Roger Federer deserves to be seeded in 2021 about as much as Venus Williams does.
What's the point of seeding a player who will be disembowelled in the 1st round?
Do you think a centre court audience wants to see that?
Stick him on Court 2.
If he wants to end his career on Centre Court, maybe he can persuade Serena Williams to join him in the mixed doubles.

If only your wishes were granted right? Don't worry Roger will play on centre court. Get a big bag of salt if you can't take it. Now git

This is like predicting Nadal’s results on clay based on his indoor hard court performances. Stop with the trolling.

I hope he does. I will have a big bag of popcorn.
There is no sound quite as rewarding as those embarrassed groans of his fans as Federer wastes yet another breakpoint with a shanked backhand into Row F.

 

[NoleIsBoat]

Do you think a centre court audience wants to see that?

I think if you asked British tennis fans who they would rather see on centre court, they would choose 50 year old Federer than any of the nextgen.

 

[Thriller]

If his knees cannot handle clay, no way can they handle grass, low bounces, skids, having to accelerate off a surface that provides low grip. He's done.

Sometimes people think they want something until they get it. A 6-2, 6-1, 6-0 humiliation is probably not the way they want to see him bow out.

 

[Krish0608]

Lol. Thank God Federer is a champion who does not take advice from armchair trolls.

 

[Novichok]

It's a little early to say anything right now. The next couple months will tell where's he really at.
Also, nice to see the putrid trolls reveal themselves. :ignore button go brrr:

I’d value your opinion but it’s total trash , no doubt you’re a supporter of a player that Federer has humiliated time and time again

Good. popcorn is better with the salt that you already have

How do you know this playa. Have you played on grass or are you another TTW analyst

[Moonball Pusher]

He’s almost 40 years old for Christ sake, let him play himself back into form with some match play and I think he can definitely make second week of Wimby. No he won’t win but does anyone really expect a 40 year old to win big tournaments? Let’s enjoy his tennis before he retires because most of the current players make me wanna throw up in my ass

 

[40-15 still haunts me]

You also have to ask the question of who will watch Tennis when Fed retires, viewing figures for Tennis have dropped by 93% since he’s not been playing but rose back 84% when he came back for one single match. It’s like Ronnie o sullivan in snooker, no one will care about the sport when he leaves and it’s the same with Roger. The recent FO final with Nadal and Djokovic was one of the least watched majors of all time, and considering everyone was at home because of Covid then viewing vigures should have gone up 100x but they didn’t

 

[FlamingCheeto]

Well Fed's last chance was Wimby 2016 according to most people here, so he's been proving the haters wrong for 5 years now, Vamos Fedal! by the way, the correct answer is:

the last grand slam he plays will be his last chance, because he's fed and can always win.

Of course I have played on grass. Is it news to you that the bounce is lower on grass than it is on clay, and that the game is faster and requires more dynamic movement? Have you been watching tennis for very long ... lol
