Fed Fans – Roger Federer Talk

[El Dude]

I miss Federer and I hated the bastard..

I look forward to feeling that way about Rafa ;-)

I jest. I never "hated" Rafa, just feared him during Slam time and pooped a little every time the draw opened up for a match vs. Roger.

It’s a horrible feeling, isn’t it? We have all those great matches to look back on forever when they’re all gone..

Was is fake news or what happened? LC passed by & no mention of Fed in it at all (even without playing)

This is the correct way to play against Novak. Make him uncomfortable and move him away from his point of ultimate control, the baseline rallies area .Bring Novak to his danger zone , the Front Court

It’s great actually watching videos of Roger. Obviously I didn’t fully appreciate him when he was playing..

Even after retirement, Fed's legacy continues to grow. With Hurkacz's win in Shanghai, Fed's last loss doesn't seem so bad now.

Same here ..I didn't fully appreciate Roger's brilliance until the later few years .I think the ONLY thing I held against Roger was the AO 2017 title..the MTO in the 5 set , I felt Roger was BETTER than that.

Yeah, same here. But you know, watching clips of him it’s easy to appreciate his skills, they really were off the scales…

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Ahhh yes I remember, the amazing Federer with his beautiful tennis and skills...
And the incredible Nadal with his unbelievable shot making and tactics...
Yep... tennis was indeed so great before Pushovic...

Twenty years ago today, Roger Federer won his the 2004 Australian Open (for his 2nd slam) and rose to #1 in the world rankings for the first time:

That was before I started getting back into tennis as I was about to turn 40 years of age. I first saw Federer (who everyone was talking about) in his come back from two sets down to the other rising star of the time--Rafael Nadal--in the 2005 Lipton Championship match back when Masters finals were best of five sets. I saw it whilst in Georgia attending a wedding recuperating from the prior evening and Sunday morning feast with mimosas and whatnot. I was amazed at both players. I started hitting the tennis ball again shortly thereafter and still play as much as I can as I close in on 60!
