2021 Wimbledon QF: (6) Roger Federer SUI vs (14) Hubert Hurkacz POL

[ACE of Hearts]

He is not losing to anyone here, come on.

People keep hyping these dudes up lol. Novak can smell it at this point.

 

[mike danny]

The volley that lost Fed the match

P*ss off.

 

[-snake-]

Probably in about 2 yrs. Possibly before, who know? One day he just won’t be able to hit passing shots on a full stretch. He’ll make more UE’s. Movement will lag. It 100% will happen. And I promise you when it does, you’ll find it super annoying if Fed & Rafa fans decide to troll every single Novak match thread.

They've been trolling every Joe match thread for as long as I can remember so it'll be the same.

 

[Ronaldo]

Djokovic had a goddamn mutilated abdomen in Australia and still demolished everyone lol.

 

[Omega_7000]

People keep hyping these dudes up lol. Novak can smell it at this point.

He pretty much has it in the bag. It's absolutely insane how bad all of these younger players are

 

[ACE of Hearts]

The volley that lost Fed the match

I mean seriously what was that. Geez

 

[NoleFam]

I think I've seen this story before.

I see it differently because he's my fave. I'm more cautious especially when I don't think he is playing as well as I know he's capable of.

 

[icedevil0289]

You are entitled to feel whatever. When you put it out on a public forum, you are bound to get responses. If that makes me "annoying", so be it.

all i said was man is on my list, lol y'all act like i said much worse. and ofc you are free to respond you are right its out there in the public forum. and yeah i think the lot of you are annoying

 

[Deleted member 748597]

QF is still good.

 

[Tenacity]

P*ss off.

Lol

 

[stringertom]

That means you wanted a bagel for him ...

Cheap Shot Watehouse…a haven for the doubly negative crowd, no?

 

[NoleFam]

Djokovic had a goddamn mutilated abdomen in Australia and still demolished everyone lol.

Lol. Fair enough.

 

[romeo8880]

People keep hyping these dudes up lol. Novak can smell it at this point.

Yea it’s funny. Novak would have to sprain his ankle or something to lose to any of these remaining players and then he still might win. I give Shapovalov a small chance if he’s absolutely on fire but other than that it’s another slam for Djokovic

 

[RS]

Didn’t expect that ending.

 

[mike danny]

I see it differently because he's my fave. I'm more cautious especially when I don't think he is playing as well as I know he's capable of.

But he doesn't need to be playing great to win. The last 2 slams proved it.

 

[chjtennis]

But he did more. Way more. If you rewatch (which I don't recommend), you'll see he hit some blinders. It's okay to be upset, but why treat HH unfairly.

No doubt HH still had to play solid, but I think he played even better late stage of the match and came up with a few super shots, because his confidence grew. As I mentioned before, well done to him, but I wouldn't say he is ready to be a serious threat to the likes of Djokovic based on just what I saw today. I wish him luck, he may truly be in form and ready to win the whole thing, but he didn't have to be super special to beat today's Fed.

 

[Ronaldo]

Completely stunned by the scoreline. I followed this match till 3-0 Federer, in the second set and just came to check the scores now. Speechless!

Just like Fred!

 

[NoleFam]

No one is playing well, it's 2021 lol. But Djokovic is too solid and will be able to outclutch everyone.

We will see how it plays out. Of course I expect for him to up his level and hope he wins this one.

 

[mike danny]

Yea it’s funny. Novak would have to sprain his ankle or something to lose to any of these remaining players and then he still might win. I give Shapovalov a small chance if he’s absolutely on fire but other than that it’s another slam for Djokovic

Honestly, rooting for a CYGS. I wanna see then how are these people gonna defend the Next Gen.

 

[Third Serve]

P*ss off.

He's been trolling Fed the whole tournament. Pretty reasonable guy a lot of the time, but the doors sadly fall off their hinges when Fed is concerned.

Same could be said of other Fed haters and even fans.

 

[zagor]

This is karma for all the abuse Fed fans launched at Medvedev for losing to Hurkacz

Eh, what abuse?

 

[Dedans Penthouse]

Pole-axed.

Quarters for a 40 yr. old ain't bad. His forehand was not itself today. Hope he keeps playing.

 

[The Devil probably]

The volley that lost Fed the match... And it was so beautifully played up to that final shot

WTF was that? Atrocious stuff from grandpa.

 

[mike danny]

He's been trolling Fed the whole tournament. Pretty reasonable guy a lot of the time, but the doors sadly fall off their hinges when Fed is concerned.

I've calmed down now. Realized Fed didn't miss any opportunities LOL.

 

[romeo8880]

Honestly, rooting for a CYGS. I wanna see then how are these people gonna defend the Next Gen.

Yep. I mean at this point who’s gonna beat him? He’s destroying everybody lol

 

[chjtennis]

federer the guy who won in a weak era while djokovic nadal and murray kills each other in their primes for slams somehow will end up 3rd lol

Murray was good only for a short period (late 2012-early 2013, then 2016) and Nadal also was on and off. 2014-2018 was just as weak (if you want to call it that way) as any other 'weak' era in history of tennis.

 

[tudwell]

But he doesn't need to be playing great to win. The last 2 slams proved it.

It's really kind of crazy how bad Novak has looked for extended patches in each of his last 4 slam victories, yet he still won. In this year's Australian it was in the earlier rounds with the abdominal tear, but in Wimbledon 2019, Australia 2020, and Roland Garros 2021, he looked genuinely awful for at least one set in each of those finals and had to win in five... but he did. Just so bizarre that there's not one person who can make him pay for those patches of poor play in slam finals.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Lol

Only thing to do now today is root for England.

 

[Third Serve]

I've calmed down now. Realized Fed didn't miss any opportunities LOL.

Yeah I'm not that disappointed honestly. Aside from the bagel which was pretty bad, these are the kinds of losses we should be getting used to from now on. For a lot of players, this stuff happens in their early 30's.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Awk well.

 

[Tenacity]

Only thing to do now today is root for England.

Rooting for Dansk of course!
Cool picture tho

 

[abmk]

federer the guy who won in a weak era while djokovic nadal and murray kills each other in their primes for slams somehow will end up 3rd lol

Djokovic has vultured the most in weak era - the weakest era of open era - 2015 to current. Nadal the 2nd most.
2004, 2005, 2007 were all pretty good years. Only 2006 was on the level of 2015(&2010). 2016-current has been worse than 2015.
your post is an utter joke.

 

[Forehanderer]

The volley that lost Fed the match... And it was so beautifully played up to that final shot

You're a sore loser to sit and make a gif out of the match when Nole isn't even playing. Have fun with your doritos and computer in your mom's basement.

 

[EllieK]

Of course it is tough. We are human after all, just as Roger is.

Federer fans are butthurt. Seeing you fav getting bageled at probably his last Wimbledon match must be tough lol

 

[Russeljones]

If it wasn't for the marathon of meetings I have tomorrow, I'd do some damage to my bar. Well just one couldn't hurt.

 

[icedevil0289]

cant wait fo novaxx to win the tournament

not that fed winning here would have meant anything, he would have gone out in the next round probably

 

[mike danny]

Murray was good only for a short period (late 2012-early 2013, then 2016) and Nadal also was on and off. 2014-2018 was just as weak (if you want to call it that way) as any other 'weak' era in history of tennis.

Why stop at 2018? It hasn't stopped being weak.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Rooting for Dansk of course!
Cool picture tho

Oh no

 

[-NN-]

I don't see the problem with jm1980 providing footage of possibly the most pivotal point in the match, even if he does have a history of ripping into Fed.

Good documentation.

 

[jm1980]

P*ss off.

 

[jm1980]

I don't get the hostility, I even said Fed played a good point up to the shot

 

[Sudacafan]

I could not vote in the poll, again.

 

[Tennisgods]

Is that jm1980? I think you’re being kind…

 

[tezukazone]

if federer was the same age, he would never ever of been even in the discussion of GOAT, he would be that 3rd guy. Federers greatest accomplishment is being born before djokovic and nadal

It’s still about mental strenght.

 

[Sudacafan]

This and 40-15 have been more that we can bear.

 

[NatF]

We will see how it plays out. Of course I expect for him to up his level and hope he wins this one.

I hope for none of the above. Hopefully we get some good matches at least.

 

[Artanis]

I mean seriously what was that. Geez

Sun-blinded

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

I've calmed down now. Realized Fed didn't miss any opportunities LOL.

Next time you play someone who uses a Head Speed (even if a Fed fan), draw them into the net on the first point of the match & crack a forehand at their chest- you’ll feel better.

 

[EllieK]

According to him, he did. Torn abdomen for real he wouldn’t have been able to play at all.
