Fed fans : who do you support since Fed's gone ?

[ledwix]

I don't get how people who like Federer could root for Murray. Unless you're British. But if not, well, he has ugly strokes, an ugly game face and childish on-court demeanor, and he pushes far too much for a guy who clearly has the ability to do THIS to the top guys. (bagel them with huge aggression)

Very arrogant of Sexi to lose in the second round just because the soles of his shoes were criticized. Vindictive, too.

p.s. I can;t imagine how many billion dollars the organizers/television etc have lost due to Sexi's early exit.

Yes, big time money loss.
Sexi sells like hot cake. He draws crowd, sells tickets and multiplies the TV viewership exponentially. I guess the impact of Roger on TV viewership might be one of the biggest ever across all sports.

If only he had hit a cross court winner instead of a drop shot.

there are so many close calls in that game. The wrong drop shot, but then the subsequent retrival trial goes out by like ten cm. Had it gone it, it would have been very difficult for Delpo.
Delpo's first passing shot - caught a tiny, tiny bit of the line.
His second passing shot is just too damn good - he's making that shot 1 out of 10.

I think it's the ability, that people cheer on. Murray can do so much and improvise so much. But he tends to push too much, though Lendl is changing that bit by bit.

Yeah lot of close calls but fed should have won that match really,he let delpo back into the match.I wish we could see more of that delpo again,he was crushing those forehands.

Count me in. I can't care for the winner. I'd hope we avoid a Murrovic grindfest, but I think we're going to have it anyway, they're too strong. They're able to make the highlights boring those two, it's impressive. We missed a bunch of probably interesting matches, and I feel like this Wimbledon was played more offcourt than oncourt.

They're not boring players, they just choose to play it safe at times. Federer usually brings the best in Djokovic, the agressive one, forces him to go for it, which is why Fed/Nole matchup is way more exciting than Nads/Nole which quickly turns into a grindfest.

Jerzy, Del Po, Ferrer.

JJ for the win! Del Potro is a shell of his former self but I still root for him regardless.

Go JJ, go Del Potro! Good wins for both today!

Murray all the way!

 

[ForLoveOfTheGame]

Novak or JJ, their styles are pleasing to watch and I always love Novak's acrobatics. Can't wait for him to demolish Murray so he can continue to be a one slam wonder pusher.

 

[Sentinel]

The women's side has a first timer winning WO, would be nice for JJ to win his first, too. Otherwise, I am cool with all of them.

However, hehe, if somehow the final is rained out for several days and finally cancelled, I believe, the defending champion gets the trophy. So ....

 

[6-3 6-0]

JJanowicz has the game, but he isn't mentally strong enough to lift the trophy. He is a headcase to say the least. If not anything, this will bring his downfall.

Apart from that, the way he celebrates (check out JWTsonga win in Rome) really annoys the hell out of me.
