Fed Fans – Roger Federer Talk

[Andy22]

nadal, Djokovic tsitsipas thiem Medvedev are more talented than Federer with that being said talented argment is dumb and meaningless as shown by lesser talented players having better careers.

What is it about Serbia that would make people root against Novak based on his nationality? I don't see the basis for this one bit. Literally no other tennis player in the world is ever jeered because of where they come from. Why would Serbia be such a trigger? Just trying to understand the basis for this.

Don’t know where you are from.
If you ask people from Northern or Middle Europe (for example England, Germany or Austria)what they think about people from south-east Europe, especially the Balkan , Greece or Turkey, you will see most of these **** consider them second class.
This is one of the strongest reasons why I root for Novak and why these wins against these fucking crowds were so sweet.

I think that's why I was drawn to Lendl after Borg retired! The fans, commentators, and MSM were brutal; all but calling him the Prince of Darkness because he wore black early on! It was hard to support players from my own country since they tended to be arrogant SOB's like Connors and McEnroe! It made it all the more "sweeter" for him and me when he defeated them in their own tourneys at the USO or Masters when held in NYC @ MSG! Lendl truly was the consummate professional and set the standard since his reign at #1 over 30 years ago!

Me too , that’s exactly what I feel when Novak fights back!
I always favoured Ivan, especially later on against Becker.

What about , the more talented you are the less work you have to add to reach the same as a less talented player with more work?
Now combine huge talent and lot of work and you get the BIG 3.
Nadal is a bit less talented than the other two but compensates with unhuman discipline and physicality. That is a regular way to become one of the greatest.

Which part of Nadal's game to you find "less talented?" And speaking of compensating with inhuman physicality, what about your "Gumby?"

According to several media outlets Roger Federer has been spotted several times in the last few weeks with Pete Sampras. Pete is also mentoring Roger and helping him deal with difficult situations.

Short answer:
The combination of strength and endurance is unique to Nadal. This mostly makes the difference in his favour, especially on the slowest surface clay, where he can bring back the most.

Talent in terms of technical quality:
FH Roger, Backhand Novak, Roger serve, ROS Novak, Roger volley, Novak drop shot etc.
Mental toughness: Novak

Physicality : Nadal >>>>Novak>Roger.

It is hard work for him, not like playing piano.

I don’t know what you are smoking but Nadal has a bigger forehand than Roger (or anyone). He also has better volleys. He also has a better drop shot than Novak. Also his backhand is more diverse than Novak. He also has the best overhead. And definitely one of the best returners. Etc. Etc.

Everyone keeps telling you to stop responding to these trolls, and you won't listen! There is not a sane person on these forums that thinks that claptrap makes any sense. Don't feed the troll!

Sorry but then we also should stop to respond to him after how many crazy things he uses to talk about Nadal

Less talented than whom? come on guy, don't make me laugh. If you are talking about discipline and physicality then it's difficult to find someone else that works as hard as Novak does and in many different ways. Each one has his own way to training and of course Federer too, very hard and disciplined, otherwise not one of the Top 3 would have got where they are

Front hates Nadal, and he has a few crazy theories, but he's no troll, and I like him. We go all the way back.

Come on girl, everywhere in the world one thing is known:
About taste can not be argued!
isn’t that the main problem here? This is nothing personal.
You will always think negative about Novak no matter what, cause you don’t like him. You are a Novak hater. Also about his fans which I can not understand.
My opinion about Nadal as a player and his behaviour is very bad, not meaning him as a person.
I don’t know him or any other player personally and don’t care 1% about them.
he is one of the best ever. I will never read something like that from you.
Let alone the fucking Nadaltroll.

 

[Carol]

Bonaca: you are the one that hates Nadal, and me about Novak? I don’t hate him but I don’t like him either, I don’t trust him, I think he is fake nd having a very bad behavior on the court, smashing the rackets, shouting to his box, not very nice with the ballboys and very ugly body language, to me has a lot of mistery around him. I give him a lot of credit because being just a good player but far to be the best he is traying whatever he can to improve his game like he did in 2011 hiring that Serbian doctor very famous with his Chinese medicine, later chanching different coaches, belonging to a secta for a while, firing all his team of years and etc etc etc, so if you are talking about a hard work then talk about him

Then who is troll for you?

 

[Moxie]

Then who is troll for you?

The ones who have nothing to add to the conversation but mindlessly buffing up a favorite, with nothing but rah-rah to back it up, or who bash their hated ones, again with no real tennis talk. There's a difference between bias and trolling. I'm sure you can recognize it.

Ah, OK so Novak isn't as loved as Federer and Nadal due to racism. Got you.

 

[brokenshoelace]

I thought you said it is not worth debating anymore, and I agreed. The problem is that you usually go berserk when talent is discussed.

You're the king of making dumb posts and refusing to argue about them once you get called out. You always end up playing the victim card. How am I going beserk? I'm agreeing with you that Federer is the most talented player ever. But you're still refusing to answer how could it be that he's so stupid as to not know he should work hard, and how did he manage to achieve all these results on talent alone?

Keep hiding, keep beating around the bush, but for fuck's sake, stop making stupid posts.

Carol you obviously did not understand my recent post or you dont want to understand or agree.
Again for the record, i dislike Nadal as player very much because of many things, i dont hate him and give him credit to what he achieved.
As you dont like Novak because of different reasons. if you dont hate Novak, than we are equal.

There is a difference in dislike or hate someone. Can you at least agree with that?

Everything else we are talking about is a matter of taste and patriotism.

 

[Bonaca]

I am convinced of it. Just my opinion due to self experience.

The inferiority complex is insane...
