I am starting to understand the Federer haters. I am almost becoming one. A lot of images from a Federer article surfacing on the ATP site, tennis.com and so on... just one comment...

WHAT THE FCK ARE THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS???

I guess if I see one more I will officially become a Nadal fan. Is there any form to fill? I guess I´ll have them ready, just in case.

Bodo forgot "because both Nole and Sir Andy are injured and unable to play their best tennis"....it's an ideal opportunity for the old guy, especially after a long injury pause, he needs no N°1 or N°2 into his draw to complicate his task

I'm sorry that's speculation. And furthermore, I don't think Federer has anything to worry about a fit Andy Murray. Novak, we can debate on. But he ain't exactly been balling

 

[britbox]

Murray hasn't beaten Federer for over 4 years - I don't think he'd be complicating the task that much and he was fit at the AO.

you got to admit that Fed has upped his level of play significantly compared to before he took the break, and this recent version of Fed would have pretty good chance against either. He hasn't looked this good in 5 years, good example is how he fared against Rafa recently, who simply used to beat him worse than anyone else ever.

Federer has not been an easy out even when not playing his best, more so for Andy and Novak, than Rafa. He is playing well now and it is going to take inspired play to beat him these days. I know the latter two are up to the task, but they have to do it.

I'm not sure where this narrative of Murray being a big problem for Roger ever came from. Hearing it now just seems like wishful thinking. It's true that Andy used to have good success vs. Roger at non-slams and only non-slams but even that seems to be a thing of the past.

I suppose Sir Andy'll manage to beat him again, he's much younger so....

^Interesting approach indeed, but since we picked on Bodo, I will be fair and pick on everyone. It is quite noteworthy how all these guys miss the details. In this article he put Djokovic and Federer on the same quarter in Australia, referred to it as the "Quarter from Hell" (which was in IW). Later he wrote that if Nadal wins Paris the difference in major count goes back to 4.

These guys should hire our good ol @El Dude to help them.

You're the forum's resident nit-picker But yes you're quite correct!
