I'm a huge Federer fan, but can we let the Murray fans enjoy their moment? Their guy just beat the best grass courter of this era in a best of 5 set match in front of his home crowd, and did so in absolutely destructive fashion. He played a tremendous match and he and his fans deserve the credit he's getting.

I'm not sure OP, Nadal was a pretty popular winner and i took over today as coach against another team. Our coach couldnt make the trip as he was away on a mission , since he is a minister also.
This is what i did. We were playing the top ranked team in the state. We are last if they had a rank for that.
Our #1 seed cant beat their #1 seed or even the other teams #2 seed. So i decided to make our worst player the #1 seed. I decided if their guy can beat our #1 guy without a doubt then why not just make it a cheap victory.

I put our second worst player as the #2 seed.

Yes both got beat 6-0 6-0

HERES WHERE THE FUN BEGINS.

The team, coach were were playing all thought they were gonna play our top 2 guys at 1 and 2. He confronts me and I blew him a kiss and laughed. Everyone is now in shock. I lined up my players and we all did the Ric Flair strut and said WHOOOOOO!!!!!!

I Made our best player the #3 seed, and out second best player the #4 seed and our 3rd best playe the #5 seed.

Guess what happened . We won 3 to 2. ha ha ha ha!!

I did the same thing with the girls, and in doubles .

Everyone there was fuming. The coaches , parents. We were the visiting team and there were around 200 or so there spread out .

People calling us cheaters, names and everything you can think of.

I mean the guy i had at #1 is a rookie thats only been playing like a week and cant even get it over the net sometimes if you hit it straight too him.
I mean the punk millionaire kid he was playing was like WTF.

He figured it out later when he saw our best guy beating up their #3 seed.

We've played this team every year since 1976 and havent even won ten matches total i don't think until i took over.
The players on the other team were crying , even some of the parents. They said they were gonna ban us from local tourneys. Turn us into the commissioner. I said go ahead and tell him that we kicked your teams buttocks. THE BEST TEAM WON

Okay i weigh 320 , closer to 350 actuallly and for some reason the coach challenges me to a match. Yes he is better than me but not by alot. I was pumped, motivated. WE had both teams, parents, cops. People running around everywhere. People pulling over trying to figure out what was going on.

Yes he called everyshot i hit on the line out and im like okay, dont even blink and accept it. He was acting like a wild animal during the match . So i decide to start serving to the middle so he cant call my shots out . I served like 80 percent first serve. I was having trouble with his serve so i did more drop shots . He won the 1st set 6-4. I won the second set coming back from 4-0 to win 6-4 . We then did a ten pt tie breaker. First person to 10 win by 2. He was up 9-0 and give up . I then just go for , get two aces. 9-2. I then get two winners 9-4. Still upset knowing im gonna lose. I then get two errors from him on my serve. 9-6. I then get two big time lucky winners from the tape and a miss hit. 9-8. I then get an another winner. I end up winning 24-22 . The team picks me up and carries me off the court. He slams his 300 racket down and breaks it. I mean we celebrated for like 15 minutes. We kept telling stories about the matches we played. WE couldnt stop laughing.
WE decided to to to mcdonalds but after we won we decided its time to go to Golden Corral.
GUESS WHAT HAPPENS. OTHER TEAM SHOWS UP . MORE COMING

Are you silly? Rafa won gold and I still have the pictures on a hard drive.

Feña won the silver and had to beat James Blake to get into the gold medal match. He carried the flag for Chile too in that Olympics, since going in he was already a medalist with Nicolas Massu from Athens.

:shock:

Not to mention the GB hex, if you want to call it that, that MAndy broke winning at Wimbledon, and the fact that he's a double Olympic medalist now.

Roger even named Rosset a favorite of his from when he won a medal for Switzerland.

And I'm just one fan. Who are all these people you say will be having amnesia?

It's an absolute certainty that no one will remember Fed winning it, because, you know, he didn't.

Sorry to say but outside of Spain and those with schoolgirl crush on Nadal such as yourself miss lovely rueroo :) nobody remembers Olympic tennis winners. Infact beyond multiple gold winners like Phelps of course or Usain Bolt people 'generally' dont remember single medal winners if they are outside ones own country.

The fact you have a plethora of Nadal photos lends itself to the schoolgirl crush explaination for u. (yes yes i know you are an adult +30 (schoolgirl crush is just a saying))

Well, people will always remember that ******** never won the Golden Slam, and for that I will always be grateful to Mr. Murray.

Cheers!

It isn't about remembering him. It could very well be a breakout match of his career. It was the first time he won best of 5 set tournament.

Federer's terrible loss to Murray in 3 sets makes the difference.

Let's put it this way, as long as people remember how great Federer is, they will equally well remember how bad he lost to Murray...

*snort*

I said nothing about a plethora, Mr. Exaggeration, but I have Roger photos too. As does the ITF, you know? :roll: Can't imagine what you're going to do with that information.

You know what? Never mind. I don't want to know.

They do when you're the owner of a career grand slam and the win turns it golden. Google Serena Career Golden Slam to find thousands of articles. That could have been Fed.

It would have been icing on the cake for sure, but Federer will have to progress in his career without it like Laver, Sampras, and Borg.

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't make much of a difference .

People say Nadal not winning WTF is a massive void in his resume but when you have won 11 slams, Davis cup, like 20 masters titles, and a gold medal, no reasonable person will make a big deal about the lack of the WTF title

That's true, but of the three, they only made one appearance at the Olympics.

Yes, as always, the truth lies somewhere in between "massive void" and "no one cares." :)

Not that that's any skin off Fed's teeth. Maybe you noticed at the same time there are a gazillion thousand more articles on Fed's 17 GS and other records.
