Thats true and all......but we're not talking about 'Lets see who here at TT can take Feds to a Tie Breaker.......we are talking about 1 point.
Well, if I recall correctly (it's been a while since I've played in any sort of USTA league), a 7.0 is simply a professional tennis player. There are nearly 2,000 men who have an ATP ranking, so I would say there's about 2,000 7.0s (excluding retired professionals).
I stated that the 250 K comes from Fed's Bank account.....
That is plenty of incentive.......to have a quarter a million dollars taken from his account
There is no way Fed would win 24 consecutive points against me.
I would underhand every serve, drop shot every ball and stand 15 feet back and tee off on every serve.
He would give at least 1 point and then I'd buy an Audi R8.
I see what you mean, but people need to understand that a golden set is a very rare event. I'm a 5.0 (probably 5.5 if I train for a few months to get my mojo back), and there's no way I'd be confident to win a golden set against anyone, even 3.0s or lower. A double fault, missed return, or simply a very good or lucky shot/serve from the opponent is very likely to happen at least once in a set.Well, if I recall correctly (it's been a while since I've played in any sort of USTA league), a 7.0 is simply a professional tennis player.

A 5.0 might win a point, a 5.5 being more likely, but I think your percentages are a little generous. Federer's spent years playing other 7.0s and beats most of them handily. What would a 5.0 or even a 5.5 have to trouble him? Federer's standard rally ball would be so heavy and deep that even a 5.0 would struggled to return it in any meaningful fashion (i.e. not simply leaving his next shot to be creamed).
I would go to prison, because I cannot play tennis at all. But I just want to play tennis against Roger, and I'll take the prison time.
Really touching post. That's Roger Federer, our idol
