He should have won, but left 13 BPs unconverted. SMH.Word has it that Federer was up 40-15 with match points against that wall but ended up losing the match.
That last shot against the wall was one of the biggest chokes I've ever witnessed.
I'd hazard a bet that that wall was made in Switzerland.
Anyway, the joke was a lampoon on those folks who still think 19+ Majors get produced in a doctor's office, whether in Spain or Switzerland.
This is for Roger's fans and they can admire his ability
If Fed really means what he's saying here (i.e.: knee problems rather than unwillingness to expose himself to the virus ala Nadal) then we are seeing the end of his career on top of the pack. His promised return in 2021 cannot be as successful as 2017 (4 years forward is a long time, he's an old man in tennis terms now), in particular we can say with high likelihood his major's record is settled.
'deserve' has nothing to do with being a grand slam, it is what it is.
I made this point on another thread, but I don't think that non-participation in any event this year constitutes a "boycott." It wouldn't be for political reasons, or anger at the powers that be, per se. If some players don't like the structure or the strictures, they may choose to stay home. That's fine. And while @Ricardo and I rarely agree on anything, we seem to agree that if the tournament is played, the winner is the winner.
I don't exactly understand your question. Are you asking if someone won with 7 retirements, would it be a valuable win? I have to think that, if it were due to 7 cases of COVID, the tournament would be stopped before that.
