Tennis

Well his career begs to differ.

2 tourney wins in how many years? Youre right, im surprised they havent renamed the sport Murrayball.

How many times has he been dispatched like this by the properly good players?

[ealingfox]

H2H vs Federer = 60/40 in Fed's favour.

H2H vs Nadal = 80/20 in Nadal's favour.

H2H vs Djoko = 70/30 in Djoko's favour.

95%, really? Not to mention 2 of the wins against Djoko and 1 vs Federer were major finals.

Have a look at the stats and try not to go in for ridiculous hyperbole, please.

Beating them in the Timbuktu Masters really doesn't count.

Ah, I see. A two-week-a-year tennis fan (or maybe eight, if I'm feeling generous). Fair enough. 

 

I know it appears the Slams are the only thing that matters about a tennis career, but it's really not the case.

You said half decent earlier.

And tennis is more than just the 4 slams. He been to 8 finals and very rarely loses to anyone but the main three. If grand slams were easy to win there'd be more than 7 or so active players who'd won them.

To be honest I wouldn't even go that far, tennis is shite.

Decent means good these days, do you not read sportsmen's Twitters?

[VinceNoir]

Federer is bossing it. Massive mancrush on that guy

[Tincy]

Bye bye Murray

[The Horse's Mouth]

YESSSSSS

[Bobby Hundreds]

Shame but you can't fault that tennis from Federer.

 

That shot to bring up match point (or the one before that can't remember) was incredible.

[Jimothy]

Federer has been class whole tournament tbf. Should be classic Sunday. Hoping he can win an 8th now he's in the final.

[The Horse's Mouth]

After that masterclass, HE HAS to win

[ScouseFox]

nole will win in three 

[kingfox]

Breezing through most of his service games, then steps it up at the most crucial time in the sets, high quality clinical tennis that from Federer.

[foxes_rule1978]

Well I'm a huge Murray fan but that from Federer was surreal, faultless and ruthless ... just magical tennis. He will beat Nole if he brings that game, he would beat anyone... just no answers to that. I don't feel down or anything that was an absolute joy to watch.

[Tincy]

guaranteed money even if fed loses final

nice

[leicsmac]

Superb stuff from Federer, honestly thought his level would drop at some point but it never did.

 

I do hope he can bring the same level to bear vs Nole on Sunday.

[Super_horns]

Federer just too good!

Such a class performance.

Whoop whoop! Get out!

Love all these non tennis fans revelling in defeat of someone playing a sport they don't give a **** about, and passing opinion on a sport they don't follow.

With all due respect, ealingfox and Matt, **** off. If you don't like the sport you don't like it, so I don't see how you can pass comment or have an opinion. Piss off and comment on something you actually have an interest in and leave threads like this to the people who actually like tennis.

Yet you still reply every year (Barring a blip in our yearly ritual last year )

 

Besides, I was celebrating on behalf of Federer.

 

See you next year, hopefully.
