Yeah, sure it is. I was devastated when Federer lost WIM 2008.
Do they show Davis Cup on telly in the US. Or only if the US is playing ?Well, looking forward to a Davis Cup weekend and a great US Open.
No it's not ok.
Consult a shrink.

I've never gotten to see it here, except when India played Uzbekistan in India, and I don't remember whether i could watch it much.

Aww u bummed out? At least it wasn't Novak again!

And that is a consolation how?
I would rather keep losing to one player, than getting bagelled by someone who I've hitherto dominated..
When Nadal loses I get really sad. I'm 37 and have two kids. Is something wrong with me?
It's definitely better. Did you see Nadal's face during the trophy ceremony? He was peachy.

I do like Murray more than I like Djokovic,.
Trust me, if Murray makes a habit of beating Nadal then Nadal and the fans will start not liking him so much too. Djokovic was also a likeable fellow for all Fed and Nadal fans till 2010, because he wasn't a threat...
Probably. But I've always liked Murray more than Djokovic. Murray seems natural and he's not trying to make himself likeable while Djokovic is the complete opposite.

When I thought Djokovic was about to lose to Federer at the U.S. Open, I was prepared to cut myself off from humanity and would hurt anyone that crossed me.
But then he won and I did my happy dance.

It's a lot easier to like Murray. There was no chest beating and roaring and licking the court when he won. He was respectful of the game and his opponent.
i only started to get depressed about federer after i saw him lose to rafa in Wimby 2008. this was because i spent so much energy and time rooting for him in that final.
for me, depression comes from the overwhelming mental exhaustion that becomes prevalent after a player that i've been cheering for loses. its not necesarilly because that player lost, rather because i spent so much time pointlessly rooting.
get what im saying?

You might laugh at me for saying this- dont really care- After Federer lost the Wimbledon final in 2008 i sold my 5 Wilson K Factor racquets and 2 bags. I was depressed for 4-5 days then i found the meaning of life again.

I got more angry with Safin than being sad knowing he had the potential to beat anyone, any day, any tournament and lost to inferior opponents. The last couple of years rooting for him I got a little sad that I knew his career was winding down but other than that, not much. AO 2002 and Wimbledon 2009 finals left me gutted.
oh please people, grow up.
I like Novak and I have watched him being #3 like forever. He is #1 right now. I like so many other players. Why would you be depressed if your favorite player loses a match? Get a job. Get out for a walk. Call a friend. Get a cat or a dog. lol
I find that rabbits and gerbils are much more helpful in this matter.

I commence my post:
I feel for you, friend. But it was the 2011 US Open semifinal (Nadal bt Murray) that really knocked the stuffing out of me. Murray could have done so much better, perhaps even won in 3 or 4 sets.

I don't care if you are depressed, but don't take out your anger on other posters in here, especially from the opposing fans. If Nadal loses to Nole, don't find reason to attack the Nole fans when they celebrate their favorite player, and vice versa. It's not right to take your fustration out on them. If you can't control yourself, take a few days off to cool down before getting back on this board.

I do, but then I've been battling with depression since my teens, so really it can be triggered by anything...
It sounds awful but as great as it feels when Federer wins, I'm almost looking forward to the day he retires so I can enjoy the sport without getting so emotionally attached. If only for my health (lol...).
Saying that, there's always Murray :shock:
