He said, through a conversation, that he knows or heard of someone who demonstrated how emotions can have an impact on water...maybe he exaggerated a little bit...but he wasn't selling anything

i love to see fed playing at sw19 again
but every one will retire
i just hope i can see more volleys, esp s&v, and passing shots
otherwise, grass surface, even wimby, has nothing special at all

I hope he can excel on any surface from now on. I have zero interest in the "old guard" without Fed in it.

Rather, it's more likely you're trying to cover up for his stupidity...
Embarrassing really for an elite athlete to spout so much utter nonsense...
There is no scientist on Earth that has demonstrated that positive thoughts purify polluted water. None. Guaranteed.

Honestly, it was just one IG live conversation where he was trying to connect to the guy speaking. It's not like he said he has done it himself, just spoken to other people about it.Rather, it's more likely you're trying to cover up for his stupidity...

It's a dumb statement but I think it's way overblown, and not particularly reflective of Novak as a person. If he was really into drinking 'purified' toxic water he'd have died by now.
The way people talk around here it's like they think he spends his free time attempting to turn arsenic into gold Isaac Newton-style.
Just another example of overused and boring talking points. I've literally heard this stuff 100x since joining TTW.

Yes... along with his positive energy from pyramids that are actually scientifically proven to be piles of dirt... rubbing bread on his stomach...
The guy is a nut case.

I don't find him particularly loony, he's painfully similar to most 30 something yoga enthusiasts who get into holistic wellness and whatever else.
He's more weird than harmful or malicious. The term nut case is out of order in my view.
That's my point, we don't need to exaggerate and say someone is crazy or a nutcase to criticize them.

^ Agreed.
Yes as a Federer fan first he sold me with his performance at AO22. Enough creativity, variety, and touch shots to be entertaining. It helped too that Medvedev prefers such a flat forehand.
Like some other Federer fans here in this thread I'm also mainly excited about Nadal and his quest for CYGS. It helps that I have made peace with the fact that he has overtaken Federer once and for all, and that I don't care anymore if he finally beats him by 2, 5 or 10 Slams. I admit it's a whole different feeling to watch a Rafa match now.
Other than that I'm a bit interested if Hurkacz and Berrettini can back up what they did in the 500s this week.

I like Nadal's game, but I am bored and annoyed by his time wasting routines.
The CYGS possibility is exciting, obviously. I don't think Nadal can beat Djokovic in Wimbledon. But I believe Kyrgios, Alcaraz and zoning Cilic can have a chance against the Geriatric Two. Zverev would have been interesting this year, it looked like he was taking the final steps (...) towards that higher level when...

This + the grunting is what holds me back from embracing him as a fan like Federer.

Looking forward to the draws and start of the competition.
Excited to see how far Rafa can go.
Eager to see who knocks Serena out because I don't see her going beyond the 4th round (but who knows?).
Will miss Fed not being there.. the way he swings the ball, seemingly so effortlessly is a thing of beauty.

Right now Rafa is working on a rightie one handed backhand and the grunting. He can't afford not to have you as a fan. He'll do anything it takes.

Why exactly? Do you think all Federer fans should think, feel and want things the same way? You find Djokovic boring or don't want him to win, fair enough, you are fully entitled to that opinion, but why is it strange if another Federer fan feels differently to this? Everyone is different.

All true Federer fans should have an inherent dislike of Djokovic because of all the painfull defeats he has inflicted on Federer!

Actually if he's willing to go that far I'd rather he just deploy double forehands. Never seen that buggy whip from the other side.

Just when I thought Wimbledon couldn't get any less interesting. Murray not guaranteed to be fit enough. Still struggling with injury.

"The next couple of days are pretty important for me," Murray said of his Wimbledon hopes. "Obviously the plan is still to play. The injury that I had is improving." The 35-year-old admitted that he was feeling better but had been unable to practise certain shots since picking up the injury and was hoping to reintroduce them in the coming days. "I'm feeling better than I was on the Sunday afternoon, evening. Training has been going well in some aspects. With the nature of the injury, it's not stopped me from practising. I've been able to do a lot of work on the court, but there's specific shots that I haven't been able to practice yet," he admitted.
"In the next couple of days, we'll start to do that. The positive is that I've been able to get on the practice court and hit balls and work on a lot of different things, but there's specific shots that I have not been able to practise and that has obviously hampered the preparations. In the next couple of days, I'll have to start to increase that and test it to see where it's at."

Yeah Ive already read these quotes. The fact that he still cant hit certain shots is not a good sign with Wimbledon only a week away.

How is Swiatek on grass? Is there a chance that side of the draw is interesting?

She won Wimbledon as a junior in 2018 IIRC, so the potential is there.
She’s (relatively) vulnerable on her serve and her ground game is better suited to clay and hard, but she’s so far ahead of the other women right now that it’s not even funny. Grass will be harder for her so it should still be interesting

Could be scary if she gets the confidence boost on that surface from winning this year.
