2016 Wimbledon SF: Federer vs. Raonic

[Murat B.]

I haven't paid attention to Milos play because I am not a fan but I have heard his has hands of stone at the net,Roger will exposed that part of his game.

Those hands improved a lot lately. But Roger rushes you like no other so ...

For me, "serious decline" would be droping out of the Top 10.

Everyone's definition is different. He will likely retire well before that happens. Dropping out of the top 10 means he is either injured for most of a year or 40 years old. Comparing someone who used to win 95% of their matches and get to every single GS semi and nearly every final to the Roger of today is serious decline. The guy is that talented that even as a fraction of himself he is still one of the best as he approaches 35. Respect the talent or let the hate consume you

You overestimate Federer. Saying he is in serious decline despite being No. 3 is just laughable...

Number 3 behind Murray... Not an overestimation of a serious decline at all. Who the hell else would be #3 given the state of Nadal?

Get those last minute votes in. I will be closing the poll shortly.

 

[kskate2]

I have to step away for a few min, but Ill be right back.

Damn, Federer gifted a game to Raonic with four straight UFE´s

 

[mrzz]

One of the worst sets I´ve seen Federer play in years. Hope he turns it around, but guess Darth was right...

 

[DarthFed]

Atrocious stuff from Roger so far. Double fault on BP and won no big points. Got to turn it around early in the 2nd.

 

[kskate2]

ok. Im back. I see Fed gave up the first set. lets see how he does going forward

 

[kskate2]

3-2 Fed on serve

 

[mrzz]

Hope Federer starts doing something...

 

[kskate2]

Darth, why aren't you in the chat?

 

[kskate2]

me too mrzz

 

[kskate2]

how can Mac commentate this match? Isnt that a conflict of interest?

 

[mrzz]

I would save "conflict of intereset" for something more serious, but yes, it is strange

 

[kskate2]

I mean I can understand calling a video of the match like they so often, but this is live. I would think he would be in the box

 

[kskate2]

maybe conflict of interest wasnt the right phrase, how about objectiveness

 

[mrzz]

Yes, that for sure

Federer flirting with disaster
