I think those three, with Murray behind them set the standard so high that the current crop of players simply wont ever reach the same standards. I reckon federer is playing about 25% below his peak and is still reaching semi finals and winning tournaments on a regular basis. Ridiculous standards TBH.

Especially after being broken in the final set. Great grit and flashes of the old class. Not sure if you heard, but said he was a bit tentative early on, worried about how long the match would be. He's still making gradual steps back. Edited September 1, 2020 by Mikey1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Marsh Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Watched it all. Some comeback. Gave away far too many cheap points in the first 2 sets but got stronger as the match wore on. It would be nice if he could go deep and make the 1/4 finals but that would be tough. Really tricky match likely in round 2 against that Canadian youngster. Edited September 1, 2020 by Randy Marsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnunb Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 He won't but it would be hilarious if he won the thing given Judy Murray said it would be a tainted title with all the call offs. Great comeback today though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Meh. Don’t like him but can’t argue he is up there with one of best UK sportsmen of all time. I mean he had to compete in the best era that tennis will likely ever see. Only got to see how the old guard is still dominating to see there is zero talent even at the Standard of Murray coming through. he would have won at least 10 grand slams in any other era.
