Murray refused to jump on the already overloaded "religious experience" bandwagon occupied by fanatic suckups in the media and fanatic fanboy worshippers. I respected that about him. Just shame he couldn't beat Fed in slams more often. Nadal used to sing Fed's praises back in the day a little too much but had no problem wrecking him when it came down to business.

“That surprises me,” he said. “But there were some matches where I was not 100 percent, like in Shanghai for example. It was visible. It was clear. I was sick. I had a sore back and all that. I’m not going to say he’s the best player of all time if I had a sore back and also considering that I wasn’t far from beating him.

“I’ve always been honest. But I’ve always said 100,000 times that he’s an exceptional player with loads of talent, and a player I think will win Grand Slams. I just thought, at one stage, that he’d have, in fact, more success more quickly. Sometimes perhaps I was too severe with him, but he took it too personally. So that’s too bad for him. I don’t care too much what he says. I feel I was always straight with him.”




hahahah.. classic federer.
Yeah classic Federer. Garbage human being. Garbage!!!

Because Murray is not as good as some people make him out to be, so Fed's kinda right here -- he just said it really harshly.

How many "mistakes" can this guy make, until we call him with his real name: Pathetic little doped wuss!
Coming from a guy who is a fan of someone who went from barely being No. 3 in the world to "dominating" a "strong era". :rolleyes:

You're comparing 23 y/o coming into his peak years, with 36 y/o "injury reconvalescent", in his first tournament after 7 months, playing 5 setters after 5 setters after 5 setters, showing endless stamina, outlasting his opponents, never gets tired, never out of breath, running like a chicken on amphetamines...Yeah, right...:D

I'm comparing a guy who had stamina and heat-stroke problems and went from that to exactly what you described about Federer.

What Federer wanted to say, but was too nice so he used friendlier words:

"The Binman is useless! Absolutly RUBBISH!"

LOL, you do realize Fed's 5 setter against Stan was just a bit longer than Nadal's straight set win over Raonic.

All of Fed's 5 setters were just a bit over the 3 hour mark (except the final which was just a little over 3 and a half hours). And he didn't outlast his opponents, he finished points quickly, thus his 5 setters were shorter. Compare that to Nadal who played way more hours than Fed in as many 5 setters and ran much more than Fed overall throughout the tournament and he still had energy left.

But keep talking without knowing facts.

You had no issues with Fed's stamina when he was losing to Djokovic, you actually defended it. Now look at you :D. All of a sudden Fed's age matters to you when it used to have no relevance to you when he was losing to Nole.

Hmmm...I suspect that's what YOU would like him to have said. But even back then, Federer still had tons more respect for him than you have. Players are ALWAYS more realistic about their rivals than most of the fanboys and fangirls on here.

Only that Federer wasn't exactly outlasting his opponents. He was ending points quick, thus all his 5 setters were shorter.

7 months break without any competitive match, in your first tournament after long injury break, having surgery also the previous year, and suddenly, out of nowhere, you have an Emil Zatopek stamina and Usain Bolt speed. Lol, not even comparable with 2014 or 2015. Come on Mike Danny... Please, you have http://www.sffworld.com/forum/ to post things like this...;)

He has 3 slams and he'd have to double his tally from here on out, and only one man (Andre Agassi) accomplished such a feat. He isn't as fresh as Agassi was back then so I doubt he can do it is all I am saying.

I actually think its bordering on insanity to believe he will be that successful, similar to how the Djokovic fans thought that him winning 18 majors was a sure thing.

We know in 2014-2015 your boy won primarily because of a weak era, but in 2011 he went from stagnating to pumping Fed and Nadal like all the time.

Usain Bolt speed LOL. Now you're reaching. Haven't I just told you his 5 setters were relatively short? He also had the easiest QF ever after a day off and then another day off? And 2 days off after another relatively short 5 setter?

Meanwhile Nadal could still run in the 5th set after playing more hours than Federer.

I think you are vastly overstating things as usual. However unlikely it may prove to be it's certainly not impossible and certainly nowhere near bordering on insanity as you claim.

It's also not impossible I will win the lottery, but I'd be insane to think it's guaranteed.

But, how about 2003. ;)Or how about 1993. ;) Sometimes a youngling needs just one click, just one great match or a win and he can go on an absolute tear. But this 2017 AO sh!tt. :confused: OMG... Something very, very unnatural about this sh!tt, alright...:(

Novak had been around for a while by the time 2011 rolled around and had established his place in tennis, Sampras and Federer had yet to do that before their runs.

I know he's won a lot fewer Slams, but I think Murray is already well well well on his way to being in league with the likes of Edberg, Becker and Wilander. He's reached 11 Slam finals already and won 40+ titles. Those guys had it tough but Murray has had it especially tough IMO in having to deal with Federer and Djokovic in so many Slam finals.

Someone like @timnz will argue he's already there. I'm not quite giving it to him yet, but Murray exceeded (my) expectations in becoming so good again after his back surgery. It took him a long time to reach something resembling his old level. I really thought he'd stay at two Slams. Now I think a fourth is likely.

I think he needs 2 more slams to put him in the Becker-Edberg tier. The rest of his achievements might make up for his missing slam. But 4 is not enough. A 2 slam difference is still too much to overcome with just achievements outside them.

He needs to distance himself from Stan and Courier first.

Also Djokovic winning 5 to 6 more slams within the next 3-5 years isn't completely out of the realm. That is of course if he wants to. The will to win has to be there.

if Murray had put up a better fight in more of his slam finals then maybe you could use the tough era argument but he's also had some easy runs to those finals in the first place...

Keep talkin sh*t. This is the first page of your posts:

Next time check your facts. Like saying I only post negative threads where the last one I made was 3 months ago and I've created like 50 since. ROFLMAO. The level of hypocrisy is off the charts.

Just because I don't support the same guy you do doesn't mean I'm a troll, naap.

Djokovic has a very courageous mentality as well. I mean the way he handled Federer and the nasty crowd that was against him at the USO was very commanding.

Andy has the game but falls short mentally in the finals against Federer, unfortunately. His match against Federer at the 2013 AO has always been a very favourite match of mine. I wish he had brought that mentality every time he played Federer in a slam. He's quite good at the Masters level though.

Nadal, Djokovic, Murray all brought the much needed balance to tennis. I am very grateful to these players.

Who acts like he has 10 GS titles behind him? And he still could have a Becker/Edberg like career. He's the current world number one, so surely it wouldn't come as a shock for him to win another couple of slams. If he did that this year, he would have had a Becker/Edberg like career given all other metrics. That's also with a few more years to run before he retires.

"Depends on which version of Murray showed up. At the very least, he would have made it far more difficult for Federer and may have cost him the next match if not winning himself."

Federer has a 5-1 record over Murray in majors so it's clear you have like barely any clue what you're talking about.

Federer vs Murray H2H is a funny old thing. Many of the winners matches, had the opponent playing quite poorly, of the winner simply outclassed them. Not as many high quality matches with both playing well, as other big rivalries.

Don't be so bloody ignorant. The 5-1 record includes matches in 2008 and 2010, where Federer was 27/28, and Murray hadn't reached his top level yet. The Australian Open in 2014 was also just after Murray came back from back surgery. Federer is now 35 years old whilst Murray is the world number 1. My statement was perfectly balanced in that it said Murray may have even lost. Try thinking things through before you make such judgements on what I know. You are the one who seems to be intellectually challenged and a bit simple by quoting a stat out of context and thinking you know it all.

If Murray hadn't "reached his top level yet" why was he ranked from 5-2 in the world?

Was 2015 Wimbledon "just after he had surgery" too? I'm also not an ardent believer of that being his "best match at Wimbledon ever" and that's pretty much proof he doesn't have problems with Murray, and to follow up his straight sets defeats of Murray at Cincinnati in 2014 and 2015.

Your statement wasn't "balanced" at all -- it's arguably ridiculous given the circumstances.

I'm intellectually challenged yet you are citing that stat as "out of context" despite it strictly being about majors?

Funnily enough, you didn't mention Roger was coming off a season where he won 1 title and was ranked at his lowest point (6th in the world) in 11 years. You also didn't mention the fact Murray won a major and was playing great tennis in 2013, only when it suits your argument do you cite "statistics" but they are in favor of Murray and to the bereft of Federer.

Well, where do I start on that drivel. Murray was NOT at the level he was in 2012/2013 back in 2008 and 2010.

I didn't mention Wimbledon 2015 (or 2012 for that matter) because Federer was class and beat a Murray who was playing well. There was no need to qualify them.

How can a statement which inferred that a World Number 1 may have beaten or at least troubled a 35 year old man who hadn't played for 6 months not be balanced? Yes, I confirm my statement. If you can not process that, you are indeed intellectually challenged. The same goes if you think Federer was in the same condition as Murray in 2014 after Andy had back surgery. Significant difference there, and not too difficult to comprehend. Also not difficult to comprehend is that the stat is out of context given Federer's age, injury and time away from court.

Why did I need to mention Murray was playing great tennis in 2013? That was prior to back surgery and when he beat Federer. I hadn't said otherwise. I also haven't cited statistics in favour of Murray as they do not exist. Federer has had a significantly better career and been a much better player than Murray. But to think that now as World Number 1, that Murray would not have at least troubled a 35 year old Federer who had been out for 6 months at the Australian Open if he was in form is complete and absolute nonsense.
