Is it the BLX?

slicefox · Mar 30, 2010

Is it the new racquet that's causing Federer to spray shots all over?

He lost his serve in the 1st when he hit an easy forehand (close to the net) out of bounds. He could have tapped it into the open court and saved the BP.

I think it could have something to do with his racquet, he's not "used" to it or something of the sort.

Could this be a factor?

BobFL · Mar 30, 2010

You cannot be serious!!!!!

However, it could be that he did not have enough BLX to win

dropshot winner · Mar 30, 2010

It's obviously his shirt. Orange has a very negative influence on the trajectory of his shots.

sh@de · Mar 30, 2010

Bollocks! It's not blx!

nomie · Mar 30, 2010

Are you claiming Wilson snuck some real BLX racquets into his bag because they were tired of re-painting his K90's? Some pics or other evidence please.

lidoazndiabloboi · Mar 30, 2010

i blame the orange from his shirt reflecting too much light so he couldnt see where the ball was.

I blame Pete.

Whenever they hang out, Fed always has a long bad hangover afterwards.

It's all Pete's fault for jinxing him.

Yep, just like Indian Wells 2 years ago.......

coloskier · Mar 31, 2010

He won AO10 with the BLX, so I suspect it is something else.

AM95 · Mar 31, 2010

didnt he win AO 2010 using blx...

bluetrain4 · Mar 31, 2010

Do people really believe that pros change their racquets every time their sponsor introduces a new racquet line?

Not that it never happens, but a lot of pros are sticking with their old frames. And, even if Fed is using a new BLX, it would be an unavailable-to-the-public customized BLX, which is not different than his previous frame, or if it is different, different in exactly the way he wants it to be.

It's not the racquet.

New BLX was claimed to be a total failure, could be...

Parabolica · Mar 31, 2010

He was testing a newer blx at IW and Miami, thats gotta be it.

larlarbd · Mar 31, 2010

What a load of BLX !!!

sureshs · Mar 31, 2010

Fed said he had problem with feel on the ball. There could be something here.

Overheadsmash · Mar 31, 2010

It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools. Probably not the racquet.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? They changed the balls purposely so that Federer doesn't get feel out of them anymore! That sneak ATP

Yes, I do mostly. Mostly to their detriment. See Djoker, Blake

big bang · Mar 31, 2010

its that crappy paint they used on his BLX!

samprasvsfederer123 · Mar 31, 2010

oh really? how do you know all this? and anyways what kind of a stupid question is this you think a stupid racket is going to stop federer, without him doing something about it? sry for hurting your feeling

rofl, very obviously immature.

He seemed comfortable with his racquet at the AO.

in IW and miami he's definably trying out something new, it is easy to tell if you are over 12 years old.

he wouldn't dare switch racquets in a grand slam, but now these "smaller" tournaments are giving him a chance to experiment

Paul Murphy · Mar 31, 2010

I don't think there's much difference between the BLX and his old racquet (if any).
It's all about marketing to the public - there's no way Fed would make the same mistake and play with a significantly different racquet as Djokovic did at this stage of his career.
It's Federer, not the racquet.

PTFC · Mar 31, 2010

Its not the racquet

KiNG · Mar 31, 2010

I can't believe people with 2000+ posts here still think hes really using any new racquet......some just never learn..

Knightmace · Mar 31, 2010

slicefox should be should be called i am an uneducated 1 IQ stubborn horse aka slicecox

Leelord337 · Mar 31, 2010

^^^i know its not blx, maybe the hyper pro staff 6.0 pj'd? maybe we will never know.. but for some reason i think ericsson or vsbabolat knows

Aha , I knew it !!! Fed has developed the "Tiger Wood Syndrome" - where he has a problem with FEEL on HIS balls !!!

So what he needs to do is go out & do what Tiger did ( graaawwww !!! ) & Fed would be back to his normal high ( shanking balls everywhere when pressed by 20yr old spaniards to a decent level of tennis ).

Please , Do not blame the BLX ( though it's the UGLIEST racquet EVER made , though it's a Load of BL x , though it seems Fed never changed ( 88sq since 2004 ) - it wasn't the BLX , it was Fed.

whatever lets call if piece, i hadnt and havent still seen as much annoyance in you as the one i find in ocean drive and hedjem or whatever that juys name is point is the racket wont let him down because he is too smart too do that and i dont think he would pull an andy murray in the sense of losing matches to experiment, he values the masters still too much for that too happen

Is it the BLX?
