A lot of crazy tennis fans out there. Monica Seles was one of the victim.....

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

Is that a reliable source? Haven't seen any other place reporting that.

 

[merwy]

they better not lay a single finger on rogi

 

[NDFM]

i would hate to go somewhere with my family feeling uncomfortable, no doubt federer is feeling like that now.

 

[NDFM]

looking at twitter (i know not the most reliable source) apparently this threat was posted on a forum but someone then reported it to an organiser of the tournament

I think you should make a confession..

 

[Murrayfan31]

All those crazy Nadal fans.

 

[Carsomyr]

Did the forum post come from a Chinese message board then?

 

[rommil]

All those crazy Nadal fans.

Their mindless, incessant posts are actually more lethal.

Thanks for that. Google translation is so funny but it is useful:

Why can't people live in peace? It is just a game of tennis... why do you have to kill a human being?

I can't get all this about "milk powder".

Yeah, Nadal fan's are obsessed with the head to head. Can't blame them.

what happened to this thread, by the way ?... some messages got deleted !
i don't remember anything offensive... just the usual beheading stuff......

 

[tennis_pro]

someone from the Djokovic camp?

I kid

 

[RAFA2005RG]

Which top 5/well known tennis player hasn't received a death threat? Imagine the number of death threats Murray and Nadal have received!

 

[rommil]

^^^^ Rafa's more in danger against inanimate objects like chairs, bananas, skillets, ************* fans etc etc

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

great list.

Yep, someone called "blue cat" iirc. Just google for "Federer death threat".

So VB fans are inanimate objects :shock:

 

[Sephiroth619]

Must've been a *******.

 

[Djokodal Fan]

WTF? I'm stunned. Why would anyone even think about a death threat to a great?

SERIOUSLY WTF??

 

[tennis_pro]

Must've been a *******.

they're getting pretty frustrated about Nadal's long absence from the tour

 

[Deleted member 21996]

that's news for you??? :shock:

 

[underground]

That's a bit too far isn't it? I mean come on get a grip and get a life stop hating.

Now I can't sleep until Oct 7.

 

[kishnabe]

Probably a good reason to skip Shanghai now. Never liked China to hold tennis tournaments.

 

[Alchemy-Z]

A lot of crazy tennis fans out there. Monica Seles was one of the victim.....

That was so sad I hope we never see something like that again...

I had a flashback panic of that moment when that guy ran on court to kiss Rafa..I was like :shock:

 

[10is]

^^^^ Rafa's more in danger against inanimate objects like chairs, bananas, skillets, ************* fans etc etc

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[10is]

Must've been a *******.

Not denigrating decent Nadal fans but thinking about the Seles incident, it obviously has to be someone from Federer's nemesis' camp.

 

[10is]

I'm actually in a bit of shocked state of mind. I can't believe someone would actually threaten Roger of all people. I really really hope he's safe and I would rather him not playing than even a remote chance of this coming across as serious threat.

 

[sonicare]

If something happens to roger in china, it might well be the cause of WW3

 

[Shangri La]

lol... milk powder..

 

[ATP100]

Happens all the time, the more you guys and other people post about it,
the more often it happens.

 

[dimeaxe]

Djokovic got threats about kidnapping from albanian terrorists a couple years ago, so since then he has personal security when he is in Serbia.

I think our dear Clarky is behind these threats. She'll go after Novak first and then after Fed, so her beloved Rafa can get back to #1 :lol:. oops, I forgot about Murray. So, Clarky is a potential serial killer :shock: ... (j/k of course, or not ).

 

[smoledman]

Is NSK/130 behind this?

 

[Evan77]

Is NSK/130 behind this?

hm, good thinking, it might be a team effort. NSK/6:1/Clarky :shock:

 

[zapvor]

I knew SoBad was up to something! You can clearly see he is mental by looking at his writing style.

Omg this is true!

 

[Smasher08]

wtf??? why? why kill grandpa Fed?

Now we know where Bullzilla went!!

 

[Nostradamus]

Maybe they think Roger Federer stands in their way of 1st chinese man winning a major ?

 

[AM95]

has anyone found a photo of this person ? apparently he posted one of him standing with an axe with fed's head or something..

 

[RF20Lennon]

hm, good thinking, it might be a team effort. NSK/6:1/Clarky :shock:

OHO!! this is a lot bigger than we thought!!! Im alerting Swiss intelligence right now!!!

 

[RAFA2005RG]

Probably a Federer fan upset at Federer's Olympics/US Open performance. You know the standards they hold Federer to....

 

[zagor]

I knew SoBad was up to something! You can clearly see he is mental by looking at his writing style.

Yeah, he would be my first choice as well (honestly, some of the stuff the guy said about Fed and his daughters is quite simply sick).

Hard to say though, it could be any of our resident whackjobs with a phatological hatred for Fed like LOLville, the Dork Knight, Bullzilla etc.

Of course, assuming said person (who sent Fed a death thread) is a poster here which I personally think is the case.

^^^^ Rafa's more in danger against inanimate objects like chairs, bananas, skillets, ************* fans etc etc

LMAO!

 

[Sentinel]

Obviously he doesn't have the sense to realize that Federer is on his last legs, on the verge of retirement, wounded and tired, so is really not a threat to any other player.

Unless he is trying to protect the '6 times YE #1' stat . j/k.

 

[tennis_pro]

Probably a Federer fan upset at Federer's Olympics/US Open performance. You know the standards they hold Federer to....

So because Federer underperformed in those 2 tournaments, a desperate fan is going to kill him?

Nadal fans were never great in logic.

 

[beast of mallorca]

Probably a Federer fan upset at Federer's Olympics/US Open performance. You know the standards they hold Federer to....

It's probably Fed himself, because he's annoyed that, even on hiatus from playing, Rafa still makes more news here in TW. He's just craving for more attention. Such a Diva, Fed is.
How arrogant of him. :twisted:

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

Agreed, it's not necessarily a Nadal fan as some people pointed out, since Federer never really 'wrecked' Nadal's career (Nadal already thoroughly dominates Federer). Probably a Federer fan who wasted his money on him winning those tournaments (Federer fans love to gamble).
