A little bit, he's still the best mover on tour. Roger has lost way more movement than him

Im not sure they have aged better than Roger... they're a half-decade younger and there is no-one behind them pushing

Too bad, this was an opportunity to extend the grinding bastard and attack the knees

They definitely aged better than Roger, Fed was mostly irrelevant AO 2010 - AO 2017

Again folks. Rafa may be 33. Well over 30. But Roger is 37, nearly 38. Of course he doesn't move as well as he used to. I agree he lost a step around 30. But he got it back a bit later. But of course now he's lost it again. He's compensated by finally getting a bigger racket.

Darth, I'm going to start publicly calling for Roger's back to go and see how you feel about that.

Dear god. I looked away and it's Nadal triple break point again. Thiem gotta find something. Anything to hold onto. Just needs one game to stave off total embarrassment.

He thought he had the stamina to handle Nadal. Now he has realized he still has ways to go to reach Nadal's physical prowess.
