"Federer plays better on faster surfaces" myth busted

[SaintPetros]

Which claycourters dominated Fed on fast courts between 2003-2012? Nadal once at Wimbledon? Anymore?

Nadal was the only true claycourter of the 2003-2012 era so not really saying much

 

[SaintPetros]

honestly the game is up for Fed...he doesn't even have the most beautiful backhand anymore

 

[Tennis_Hands]

That .... turns out to be a great thread after all.

On a separate note, it is great to see that muskets have won a battle against automatic rifles (a shoutout to the fabulous statement of a Djoke fan that players with OHBHs are like armed with muskets when playing a THBH (which are supposedly "automatic rifles").

Glad to see you acknowledge the weakest clay era ever

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

When 90's Clay cries, Fed wins. Will miss him. Not really though since he will be back in a few months.

“When I came here I was positively surprised that conditions are fast and not slow like they were in previous years. I feel like the court allows to keep the rallies short with a good and dominant serve and immediately searching for the point,”

He was beaten today in straights by clay court specialist.

Should we stick to....idk... beautiful backhand ?

Did you enjoy the match today? Perhaps you should watch highlights of the Wimbledon match in which a 38 year has complete control of a match only to give it away.

Plot Twist: Was Fred doing the annihilating

 

[OhYes]

Yeah, Federer was not himself yesterday, usually he doesn't play so well, which actually doesn't mean anything.
Being in "control" and losing 3 sets is realy remarkable thing to do.

 

[OhYes]

Wow you actually managed to score 1 out of 100 times with laughing gifs. That is some talent.

Nice quote

 

[r2473]

So what cinditions does he need to beat clay court specialist ? If fast court isn't good enough, maybe he should retire.

Maybe if he beats Djokovic in his next match your enthusiasm about advising him to retire will take a sharp turn. Or not.

The palerer imitations - perfectly aligned avatars, or not - just don't have it.

I wish I know something about you and your threads so I could reply one way or the other. Unfortunately you are a mistery to me, and that will not change in the future.

OhNo, I’m so hurt you haven’t figured me out but OhYes, you are an open book...a whole pot of hate boiling up for anyone daring to have achieved more than your idol.
