You've won everything yet still you have more of a will to win that anyone else

[JRAJ1988]

*THAN ANYONE ELSE*

Isn't that fudged up?

Marin two sets up, groovin' on a Sunny day, people are already commenting (including me) that Cilic could win Wimbledon with the form he's showing, then Federer puts everything into coming back, saving 2+ match points and winning 6-4.

How do you keep wanting to win when you've won everything? Same goes for Serena, now even Djokovic.

Doe that say negative things about the current crop of players? Or does that show that one a million players still exist?

Ask Sampras 2002.....he probably wants one more.

 

[Maestroesque]

It's called ambition. And what if he wants another one? I'm sure after winning as many titles as he has only he has the right to call it quits on his own career.

 

[Feather]

I was also thinking about that! Roger THAT

both

Federer is to Tennis as Jordan is to basketball. The GOAT.

 

[Tennis_Hands]

It is their job and some of them love it.

That is all.

 

[heninfan99]

usually the better player wins in best of five
that is all

 

[stringertom]

Fifth sets are won on the practice courts and gyms and are played on the smallest court in the world, just the width between one's ears.

Federer doesn't want to have any regrets when leaving the court.

Federer doesn't want to have any regrets when leaving the court.

cause he had many regrets leaving court last year in Wimbledon or even more in USO.

Testosterone, anger and arrogance diminishes when one ages. But even old Fedr's current arrogance level > Peak arrogance level of youngsters.

All the great ones... only really care about winning so they find ways to dictate and play ttheir ways into things they probably shouldnt win. Think of them as people who like putting together a puzzle... they just wont relent till it is done.

The great ones are pretty relentless... doesnt matter what field.

 

[D.Nalby12]

I think champions with this kind of mentality have to be born. I'm also part of overwhelming majority without such mindset.

Agreed 100%

Not against Thiem and Zverev though.

Not against Thiem and Zverev though.

But they are not in the SF of a Major though.

Tell that to those two arrogant a-holes Tomic and Krygios. At least Fed has something to be arrogant about, he's the GOAT of the sport. Tomic and Kygios might win one 250 tourney a year and they're in their peak years.

 

[Deleted member 688153]

Because he loves his job, and so has never had to work a day in his life.

He also lives to prove the pundits wrong ("too old" etc.)

He was two points away from going out early in 2012 too, by the way.

They're making enough money and content with it. They did not turn their rage towards winning something.

I'll add Thiem got lucky with Nadal and Tsonga's injury at RG.

 

[Noleberic123]

Because we are all greedy

 

[Rina]

I am not a fan of Federer, but certainly I admire him and his will to fight against odds, age, younger and less injured tennis players. He barely played this year, and when he did it wasn't good. Yet, here he is another Wimbledon semi final. I think it is pure will to win, others should take lessons from him. Deepest respect!
