Federer ends up crying.
Federer ends up crying.
He got it back in the fifth set, again.
I’m just messing. Most players Federers age are retired apart from exhibition matches
I know Jimmy Connors hung around for ages but certainly wasn’t achieving what Fed was
But more than that has hung around and actually improved the key area in his game which was letting him down, his backhand. It was that, that won him the AO against Nadal last year. That was the mother of achievements
He is for me far and away the no1 sportsman of the 21st century
Best decision he made was to skip the tour and just show up for the big matches. It will probably see him winning things till he is almost 40.
Still love Connors though....he was a mans man, an animal who just wanted to devour his prey. How come he is hardly seen these days. I hope he is healthy?
Federer is the Brock Lesnar of the ATP. No insult intended. He is just incredible.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
Yep Last year was pretty amazing for him, winning Miami and Indian Wells as well as AO and Wimbledon
As you say, I think skipping a lot of the events (and most notably Roland Garros) is a smart move on his part
He was the favourite in New York as well but I always thought that was a tournament too far for him. He struggled against Tiafoe (one for the future) and Yuhzny.
I don’t know enough about WWE to even get the Brock Lesnar comparison
I assumed the whole sport was a sham anyway. It’s like the Undertaker never losing at Wrestlemania or whatever it is despite the fact he’s probably older than my dad (who is 67).
Again I’m not talking with any kind of authority here.
