Is it just me or does the court colour looks a little different compared to previous years.

I suppose it's 'GreenSet' not only by name.

Uniqlo's kits are boring, not cut correctly and just ewww. But many Fed fans here love them. I agree, I find this new kit dreadful, especially the shorts.

I am curious about the court speed and also about the bounce

Did Roger say that or is it the opinion of the person you talked to? I ask because it seems like every slam someone says the courts are slow and someone else says they’re not.

Not just Wimbledon. A lot of his 09 kits had those sublimated stripes on them if you look closely. White just made it the most obvious.Fedr's AO20 kit. And the stripes on these shorts are similar to the shirts at WB09

You actually believe this guy? This is obvious trollery. Someone else pulled this crap on the Fed News Thread before the AO in 2017 as well just to get people to take the bait. The court speed has been confirmed by people actually there and it's not slow.

Well that’s why I asked the question. I also remember the posters on Fed’s old website would always obsess about court speed as if it’s impossible for Roger to win on slower courts. That’s just nonsense. Whether the court is slightly faster or slower doesn’t matter that much IMO.

I wonder why Fed felt the need to release a statement? Was this criticism really getting that much attention?

He's had a white version of basically every Uniqlo slam kit iirc, but it's never featured in the advertising release.

Lol, not you too!
There's a white version of the shirt (I think the first four pics are 'consumer' versions):
Fedr's outfit seems more premium, and with more details, see below:
The person on the sideline. Said it definitely looks slower than last year. Agreed that it can vary from person to person but it has been well documented that these new courts would be slower so I was just hoping it wasn't going to be a significant difference.
Look all I asked was how does the court speed look. Mainly due to this new green set surface we've just had laid. It does look a bit slow in Brisbane also hence me wanting to find out.
It doesn't look black to me?

Oh my God this is not going to stop:

I’m now really worried for Roger. He will be asked about this in his presser. In fact he will be asked non stop wherever he goes in AO. It will be such distraction and frustration in this first slam in the year when Roger must be very focussed, more so when he didn’t play a warm up tournament. Can this girl just stop already??

This headline from the Daily Fail is Roger didn’t hit back at anyone. He gave a bland, inoffensive PR statement. That’s it.

Roger Federer in row with climate activists including Greta Thunberg
Last week Greta Thunberg retweeted a post calling the tennis player out on the sponsorship. Federer then released a statement this weekend saying he takes the threat of climate change very seriously.

Just the fact that the idea of staying home and not going to AO came to his mind when presumably in previous years it never did sends me into handwringering mode.
Please a few more years.

I hear you. But from a different angle, it shows how big his heart is. I feel that part of his reason to consider not coming, even for a moment, was bc of the air quality, but he feels he has to show up to help with the relief event that, as he said, he knows will be arranged by Tennis Australia.

I mean, he was flirting with #1 last year. He's still so good, loves the game so much, and is soooo close to setting almost untouchable longevity records that at this point, why not just set them?
Fedr to retire when his Unqilo contract ends in 2028!

I have given up on draws these days. Good or bad makes no difference. He has shown he can beat anyone and actually plays better when playing the big boys.
When he gets easy draws is when I get nervous.

True. Wimbledon was a tough draw but he did great there.
