Could have retired years ago but he’s still trophy hunting. Thing is Djokovic and Nadal are both veterans themselves now. Federer could easily be getting to the latter stages of grand slams well into his 40's. Have to say I cant stand the Wimbledon crowd. Absolute cretins.

Djokovic’s fitness and speed might be too much for him in this last set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct about competition. You had Dimitrov, Nishikori and Raonic around the same stage threatening but never happened for them. Now you have the next stage of talented players like Zverev, Kyrigos and Tsitsipas but they seem to be going backwards at the moment. No male tennis player born in the 90's has won a grand slam. Amazing stat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate Roger has gone off twice in this match but he's 37 so I'm willing to overlook it. I also don't really like watching him. He's an incredible athlete but I don't think he plays brand of tennis that's particularly enjoyable to watch.

It's probably best you start watching more and reading up on him yourself and arrive at your own conclusions in that case as everyone will of course have their own biases. Personally I think cheat is a bit strong but for me he blurs the lines on what is and isn't acceptable.

CJGJ Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 There is no real reason to not like Federer yet I just can't warm to him whilst admitting he is one of the best there has ever been I think it's perhaps all those 'hoorays' who appear at Wimbledon and even support him over fellow Brits...just can't understand that. It's not his fault of course but it just irks me enough to hope he is beaten just to stick 2 fingers up at those middle and upper class yobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
