John Isner has won heart today....

[Tennis_Hands]

10 wins over current top 10 players for Rafa in the last year despite a very limited schedule

In 2019, weakera.

 

[smash hit]

If you notice what Fed said in the trophy ceremony, he made it plain the injury of Isner wasn't serious.

And he knows that because he's a medical expert with x-ray vision.

 

[Fedeonic]

Fed's charities and philanthropic efforts are well publicized.

Well, charities and philanthropic efforts are not the same than supporting "left wing policies", Nadal too have charities and philanthropic efforts, and is believed to be a member of the traditional right wing party in Spain, the Popular Party.

Congratulations to Roger on his first top 10 win in over a year!

That was actually Anderson, not Isner.

Fedr more top 10 wins than Rafa in the last 6 months.

A Masters 1000 final to Isner is like a Slam final to the Big 4. Possibly even bigger. Of course he’s not going to retire.

What exactly are left wing policies? Are you from the US? I'd imagine the specifics of this broad term would vary from country to country.

No, I'm from Chile. And as you've said, the terms vary from country to country, here for example health care is considered a right, by the left and the right, we just differ how much we should spend and how on it.
But again, unless Federer goes screaming "viva Maduro" like his fellow Roger Waters, or if he said "f. the EU", I consider Roger Fed's politics non existent.
That's why I mentioned Nadal, since he has clearly supported the unity of Spain in relation to Catalonia, which is a right wing policy in Spain.

In 2019, weakera.

Any year without Carreño Busta in the top 10 is from a weak era.

 

[Sudacafan]

I really admire this guy's gamesmanship and sportsmanship...
Did manage to take it to the last point,
Even if he couldn't move, he didn't give up or retire from the match.
You've made me your fan, big Johnny...
Wishing you quick recovery and a very good season ahead...


(Coming from a fed fan)

I really don’t know what to answer. Only two options?

 

[Cfidave]

That match was lost well before the injury. When Isners serve gets neutralized
Consistently he has no chance, especially against a top player. Anyone could clearly see the huge holes in Isners game, that Fed exposed.

There is a lot of Mythology here. Prime, Peaking Isner would be met with the same result from an aging Fed. But let pass out participation ribbons, shall we?

Isner has been epic

 

[donquijote]

Won my heart by losing to Federer.

Well,
Could've put a 3rd option *fedr*, but didn't

Isner always has come across as a well educated, classy gentleman to me. He should do some organizing jobs for tennis once retired.

Like Blake. didn't Blake went to Harvard? Blake is probably the smartest tennis player out there.
