Rolex Shanghai Masters 2018, China

[DarthFed]

Cmon we've had this convo before. He's like KA (a consummate choke artist).

A talented one though and he seems to play pretty dang well near the end of tournaments too.

Anyways Roger looks like a 37 year old who has been on court 6 hours the last few days. He is completely gassed out but Borna is playing well.

It is now pointless for Roger to call it a season, frankly it was a disaster since Indian Wells. But a major at age 36 still makes it a good one. He's screwed the pooch by playing this and that retarded Laver Cup. Should've taken a couple months off and then hit the practice courts hard for 2019.

 

[DarthFed]

You're more right than Moxie! Someone had to be wrong! Coric is ripping his serve and the groundstrokes! Federer's not making errors on his own; being forced by the MPH of Coric's offerings! He's making Federer hit a lot of backhands which is still impressive, but it's not hurting Borna! He's up a set and has a break early in the 2nd!

Roger's level is an abomination and has been for the last 7 months, let's get that right. And he's playing someone who won't just hand him the match.

Good for Borna if he goes on to win this, but watch him rollover tomorrow for Djoke.

Roger seems to be going through the motions. I am hoping that he is just tired. Many of his routine shots can hardly clear the net. He makes Coric look like a superstar.

OCO, Borna's playing quite well and Roger's just getting beat! He's hitting the ball; just being outdone by someone ripping it! :whistle:

Roger isn't hitting shit, his shots have as much pace on them as Wozniacki's right now

 

[Federberg]

is it me or does Roger look like a really old guy trying to play like he once did?

That's not right DF.

He's looking very Bradyesque in last year's Bowl

I've been saying he's looked old and grizzled for a while! :whistle:

 

[DarthFed]

That's not right DF.

Am I wrong? Anyways it'd be weird if Roger had a lot of energy today after 6 hours on court in the first few matches. That part there, 6 hours in 3 matches, is the problem.

 

[DarthFed]

This is definitely the oldest he's ever looked, sad to watch.

 

[Fiero425]

The crowd is going wild for Roger "shamelessly!" That's some way to treat an underdog! :whistle: :cuckoo:

Why would they root for a no name over their greatest love

I'm afraid Roger isn't going to be around much longer. Who knows if he makes it back to Shanghai again. Clearly he shouldn't have showed up to this one, he looks like he may need a wheelchair to get off the court after it's done.

Burna is playing well but Roger playing at 70% of his ability should be able to beat the Croatian.

 

[DarthFed]

Kind of bad on Coric that he didn't win this set 6-2 but he probably realizes he just has to serve decent and Roger is too tired to get a look at a break.

Sorry, I thought NOLE was the true hero of this region! I think he even invoked a little Chinese a few years ago during the award's presentation! He's the most winningest player even after all these years of Fedal playing! :whistle:

Everywhere aside from Serbia and Spain is Roger region. I thought that was established B-)

He's the most winningest if you count that Mickey Mouse Beijing tournament

OMG. That MP!

What about it?
