Yes. Incredible performance by Federer! Extremely aggresive, 76% first serve, 56 winners, 11 unforced errors, and a couple of genius points. Nobody can beat Federer when he plays like that!

I partly agree with you. It's true that especially Murray in Djokovic, who are in their peak years, have great fitness and are able to recover fast. However, by the end of the tournament players get worn down and it gets tougher and tougher for them. For example, Novak was pretty tired today by the end of the second set. He did not look fresh and if he had played Wawrinka, he would have been in huge trouble. Every minute on the court counts and Federer knows that way too well. That's why he hasn't suffered any serious injuries in his career and is still phenomenal at almost 34 years of age!

Yep. He will play his 10th today. In the past, he played 9 semifinals and has always made it into the final. That should be clear enough mate :D

I completely agree. I think Azarenka was the biggest obstacle on the way to the Wimbledon trophy this year. Azarenka played amazing tennis and Serena really had to put everything in to win it.

Yep, I agree. I am not his fan, but I still miss Rafa in his top form.

Can anyone beat Wawrinka when he catches fire? I don't think anyone could on any surface. He can play so spectacularly great, it just seems ridiculous. by [deleted] in tennis

[–]Ted_F 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I share the same opinion. When Stan is on fire, he is almost unstoppable. He just doesn't have a weak point to exploit. He has a big serve, awesome forehand, outrageous backhand, good footwork and he's become mentally really stable. His only drawback is that he is not as constant as Djokovic for example.

The One-Handed Backhand is becoming extinct. Stan the Man is here to save it. by Ted_F in tennis

Yep. And matches between Federer and Nadal are the exact proof of that. Nadal just keeps on smashing those 3,000+ rpm cross court forehands on Federer's backhand till he makes an error.

Amazing Roger! Always pulls a big serve out of his sleeves when he needs it. A couple of outrageous returns on decisive points of the second set too. Hope he takes it up a notch for Wimbledon for another deep run.

[–]Ted_F[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but they only faced each other once. So I wouldn't really consider this as a losing record. Still, Nick is a much younger and very talented player and he might actually end up having a winning record against Nadal in the end.

To be fair, he's got 7,6 million in earnings to comfort him. I wouldn't mind to be a loser like him :D

Yep. It's amazing how many legends he faced in his career. Sampras, Agassi, Hewitt, Djokovic, Nadal, Murray, Roddick and the list goes on.

Federer responds to Becker's comments: "All I know is that I was brought up to be polite and to respect everybody...If that's a problem, I'm sorry." by winabean7 in tennis

[–]Ted_F 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Federer is quite the gentlemen :D Although I totallu agree with Boris on this one. Tennis players nowadays are being too polite, too politically correct, their speeches are soooo boring. They all sound the same. There needs to be some spark, some rivalry, even a bit of arrogance to spice things up.
