Doubt he's scared of someone he's fucked up 5 straight times. Especially when poor whittle Whafa is out hurt. If anything proves your narrative false it's Roger already declaring he's going to miss clay.

Well why skip RG? Fed is fresh for RG?

For sure after the bs I got after the last time I posted
If you post comments like the ones you did today in a place where there are a lot of Federer fans you're forced to get ribbed. It's just not the wisest thing to do. I'm neutral but just telling you the truth. What you said would really provoke Federer fans to say something.

I understand, I only posted because of the hate I got for sticking up for Rafa and his injury during the AO.

That's the right point, not that I think he's scared of Rafa, but if he were still thinking it might be worth it to him, he'd wait and see how Rafa comes back. Now, I'm going to hesitantly ask a question, and I'm not trying to put the whammy on Rog, but I wondered this in the IW final, too, with the service being off, and the UFEs...do you think his back is acting up? I promise not to accuse anyone of making an excuse.

I don't think he was injured. I think he was just out of practice

Dude, I argue with a lot of people over Rafa's injuries, (and lots of other things, :lol6: ) but I don't come around and stick my tongue out and say silly, goading things when Roger or Novak lose. It's not an excuse for being childish and gloaty.

I understand but there is a right & wrong way of doing things. The way you said what you said makes people think you're making fun of the situation which annoys some people & makes them rib you more though I understand you were angry & we can't always think straight when we're angry. You might have been better off assertively stating that you didn't think it was fair that they were treating you like that when you were only defending your favourite tennis player as you didn't think the comments being made were fair at the time in question but we don't always think that quickly under pressure.

It's ok I changed my password to random words and letters I can't remember so nobody will hear from me again here, I do like how I get shit for laughing at Fed losing while people get away with laughing at Rafa's latest injury.

I'm fine with that, but he did just play IW.
Not sure this is the sort of thing that you can play your way out of. Sometimes you just need to go back to the drawing board. It’s clear he doesn’t know what he’s doing wrong. He needs his coaches to help him work it out. For all we know it could be something subtle wrong with his footwork

I don't think anyone laughed at Rafa's injury. Some blame him for them, but that's different, and we've discussed it. You can go away and pout, or stay and discuss. Your choice.

Yeah, maybe so. I hear that. It was a big start to the year. He's smart about his scheduling, generally, and so he'll take a break and recharge, with focus on grass.

Don't forget, also, that it took Rafa over two years to return to something resembling prime form, from Roland Garros 2014 to the beginning of 2017.

Now obviously the situations are different, but I'm just pointing out that while it has now been over a year and a half since Novak won anything big (Canada, 2016), it isn't unheard of for a great player to return to a high level of play after 2+ years of struggle.[/QUOTE
It isn't about level it is about motivation and mental toughness. This one was just given away to a guy we won't be hearing anything from IMO. Good to see a healthy Kokk :) But I don't see him being one of the big young guns even if he stays healthy. Roger was just pushing the ball in and refused to win in the third set.
Come man don't down play my home boy, kokk win today yes federer was off its still a great win.

Come on now not everyone has to be as nice as you, you can be a little gloaty, as long you don't go to far like I did, with that list. busted was making fun of nadal when he got injured injured, so its both Nadal and federer fans not just us Nadal like you say and yes Nadal fans are going to be a little gloaty li
Just like all fans of favorite players are.
