Draw now wide open for Federer to reel in #18....

Well I would have agreed with you..but there is this bloke called 'Rafael Nadal' he has to deal with first

& a Tennis Player called Andy Murray

Broken is also an outright hypocrite. He calls people trolls when they don't say the most predictable things, but no one responds to those kinds of posts as consistently on a daily and weekly basis as him. Nobody does.

So here he is condemning supposedly outlandish posts, while continuing his 5-year-long pattern of constantly responding to them, literally every day of the year.

Add to that his total misunderstanding of so much that he watches in tennis, and you have a rather notable bonehead on your hands.

LOL, somebody forgot to take his medication. Either that or you've been hitting the Jack Daniels bottle hard.

LOL....respond to what I said. No one follows the posts of board rebels more religiously than you do. The way you chased Nadal2005 or whatever his name was is case and point. It was pitiful. And everyone who has been on this board for a while knows that what I am saying is true.

Where is the poster Nadal2005

Departed. May (s)he rest in peace.

Roger's playing mind games again.

The Anti-Troll Police Department (ATPD), headed by ATPD Police Chief Broken Shoelace, exterminated him (her?), like mean colonialist French gangsters would.

You know what's funny is that Broken recently lamented (hypocritically, of course) how tennis players only say the most cliche and classy things about their opponents. The irony is that the moment someone starts talking junk of that sort on the message board he is the first to repress it. The guy is a hypocrite.

Cali, you can always PM Broken, you know, if you want to keep it personal. This thread might not be the place...

Murray is the toughest opponent remaining when you strictly go by talent. If he gets by Murray, then he'll have to play very poorly to lose either of his two remaining matches.

That's all I was saying.

Thanks Sid, I dont really see the mind games.

Federer was asked questions about his physical wellbeing in questions after the Tsonga match and the answer has been pasted under a "Federer warns Murray" headline.

You could do the same with Andy...

MURRAY WARNS FEDERER...

“Last year is pretty relevant because it’s on the same court, and it will be under the same conditions." Murray warned Federer....

 

[huntingyou]

Good comedy!

The best player of this generation it's still on the draw gunning for history but who cares; Roger will deliver the goods like he always does against the best player of this generation which includes Federer's generation.

Hopefully Grigor takes care of the best player of this generation so Roger doesn't have to concern himself with the best player of this generation during his match with Andy.

Don't make me enforce the "one generation per paragraph" policy...

Roger & Murray QF,long as the roof is open I'd make Murray the fav,if the roof is shut then I'd have Roger as the fav to win.

But Roger increasingly he is playing the games on his OWN mind. He always needs to big himself up".
Andy's mental attitude to his comeback is probably the biggest mental factor in this match.

 

[DarthFed]

Long ways to go but this is a huge match to determine how Roger will do this year. He as well as Rafa and Murray know that the final is a virtual bye so they will have to kill themselves the next 2 rounds. Roger beating Tsonga was great and it was an awesome performance but this one is much more telling. He wants to prove he can still compete for slams, he has to win tonight.

And you have reading deficiencies because at no point did I say tennis players need to talk trash. In fact I explicitly responded to a poster by saying THAT'S NOT WHAT I'm ASKING. You're also a major idiot for equating an attitude tennis players need to adopt to insignificant posting on message boards. What a terrible analogy.

And you're a completely out of your mind if you think I cared enough to chase Nadal2005 away. I don't have this sort of authority here buddy.

I do love the random level of irritation in your posts though. Almost as much as I love your vast knowledge of Francophone culture.

That's all I was saying.

That's completely irrelevant. Let's assume for argument's sake, that Murray is the most talented guy remaining in the draw, he still wouldn't be Roger's toughest match remaining because history showed us otherwise. Nadal is the toughest opponent Federer ever had to face in his entire career in the sense that "he had the toughest time beating Nadal" out of all the players he ever played against. Is that debatable? That's based on facts. Wouldn't you say?

So, given that the goal of a tennis match is to win, and given that this thread is discussing the notion of Fed winning his 18th slam, it's reasonable to assume that WINNING is an important factor here, and not measuring talent. Therefore, given that there's one guy remaining in the draw who has beaten Federer 22 times, it's reasonable to assume he's the toughest guy remaining because he's the guy Federer has the toughest time beating, be it for strategic reasons, playing "very poorly," luck, injuries, miracles, divine interventions, or what have you...

If Roger beats Tsonga, Murray, Rafa, and Wawrinka/Berdych, it will have been one of the greatest accomplishments of his career, especially considering he's 32.

 

[DarthFed]

It will have been his most impressive tournament, that's for sure. Beating Tsonga showed he can still play at a high level on occasion, tonight shows if he can still compete, if he is alive to see Rafa we will see if he can finally man up.
