number 3 in world playing part time. if ur could do that in your grocery bagging job you would make night manager one day!

post of the year winner!

 

[Lleytonstation]

these players are not anyone. they are top ten last time i checked. stretching it a lot on this topic. guys can’t admit a 39 year old is number three in the world playing a half schedule??

Millman? Top 10? Last I checked his highest ranking was 33, and he was ranked much lower than that when he played Fed.

Should have lost to him again this year.

And he is NOT number 3 in the world.

This gets so over-exaggerated it's not even funny, especially after playing the clay season last year. The guy played 61 matches in 2019. Skipping a couple Masters events to avoid over-playing doesn't make it a half schedule.

Good match

You should be on TV with that kind of hard hitting analysis

What has being outplayed got to do with Fed shanking the FH at 5-3 TB in the 1st set?? LOL. There were many of those. Quit the "was being outplayed" nonsense. Fed did hang out with Djoko till the very end. Just did not close out some very important points. Some of those misses were just by inches, and thats because he was outplayed?? You are really something.

Djoko "outplayed" Fed at AO20 SF and not at Wimb19 F.

Agree with this one but when it came to the critical points, Djokovic brought his best so @MeatTornado is also right

 

[Deleted member 744633]

I think any Fed fan should be happy with what they have with Fed right now. Will he likely win another slam? No.

But he will likely have chances to win another slam and that is all you can ask for.

Just don't want anymore championship points blown that result in a tie.

The important thing for Fed is to still have the "chance" to win slams, and I think he has a few more slams where I will feel that way.

So long as the top 3 can give us matches like the final of Wimbledon '19, I don't care who wins

Dramatic match but not a great one

 

[Goosehead]

that fed/delpotro match, jmdp 1st serve % point win went down with each set,

seemed a bit rare to me, despite that and being visible tired, score was 3-3(?) in 5th set.

Agreed

Federer is accused to make "unauthorized Publicity" for his new shoes during an swiss interview

https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/kritik...campaign=Ed_Social_Post&utm_medium=Ed_Post_TA

It's behind a paywall, but the article is criticizing the Fed interview for showing his ON shoes every .02 seconds. Tempest in a teapot. He reached billionaire status in part by being incredibly savvy about marketing.

 

[MeatTornado]

I don't get it. Celebrities do interviews with the purpose of promoting whatever they're selling all the time. Was ON never brought up in the interview so the set with the logo and shoe in the background was just awkwardly looming over them? If he did an interview with a bunch of his rackets on the wall would that be considered unauthorized publicity for Wilson?

I was going to ask about the shoes, they're awesome looking. The loss of muscle mass in Roger's calves is again noteworthy.

If Fed says it's a good test for his knee, then it's a good test for his knee. The other stuff is irrevelant.

The problem is, Fed took the funicular up there, he didn't hike.

I would tell them to use a two handed backhand and that one hand backhands are for weak era chumps.

39 years young!

I just noticed my photo above says "the greatest OFF all time." Apologies! Let me up my game and get it right:

 

[Third Serve]

It's still August 7 in my country, but happy birthday to Fred. Can't believe he's just a year off from 40.

 

[Arvind Sridhar]

What better day to put an end to my self imposed tennis hiatus than the man's birthday. Happy birthday Roger!!!! As a player, you not just gave your indomitable style and grace to enjoy and savor but also made me a fan of this wonderful sport for years to come. I will probably be one of the many who will continue to watch the game after the man's retired. And this I believe is his greatest achievement.

Laver hoping for slam 21 it seems.

I wasn't sure that was 100% appropriate to be honest. Might have been better if he'd just stuck to saying he hoped to see more of his beautiful game!

Well, it is clear to me Federer is his favorite, he is just wishing that from a fan perspective, nothing wrong with that.
