Swiss Indoors 2018, Basel, ATP 500

[lob]

Dear Fed fans, please don't tarnish the maestro's legacy by celebrating mickey mouse 500s and 250s. The dude looked everyone of his 37 years today. Poor Copil couldn't exploit it.

Fed can take out faker at WTF

Playing like this Id expect 0-3 or 1-2 at WTF. He may not even make the semis which is a given for any decent indoor player at WTF.

Congratulations to Federer on beating the amazingly difficult opponent in a final, the one and only Marius Copil. B-)

We Fed fans will remember this gem comment when Copil plays Nadal but it has to be after the same circumstances to be comparable, ie, making it through 2 qualifying rounds and all the way to the final of a 500 event. Oh and the mighty Kevin Anderson says hi btw. Says he's sorry for bending over in the USO final.

That seems both snobby and arrogant. How does it tarnish his legacy, exactly?

It's obvious Fed will have to play well but if anyone can do it it's the GOAT.

What? He'll retire before you know it so enjoy whatever success he gets. He isn't gonna play forever. Some Fed fans really need to snap out of their slam expectations. Dude's 37 ffs!

Anyway this was a glorious victory, one of his most hard fought, rewarding non-slam wins of his career, playing one of the worst tennis of his life to win a tournament. He used all his guile, experience, mental strength to win Basel. Like an old jedi.

I don't know why you engage with that kind of trolling, but then you go there about Anderson. He beat Fed at Wimbledon, ffs. And he just won Vienna.

You do know that Copil is exactly the type of player dull doesn't like to play on a fast low bouncing court right?

I don't know what's up with a Fed fan denigrating it and certain Nadal fans downplaying the opponent in the final, but I agree with your last. 9 Titles in his hometown. 99th title. It's admirable and beautiful. This one Nadal fan, at least, gives a tip of the cap.

You've always been a reasonable and more importantly friendly Nadulltard.

:lulz2: I suppose that's the most I could ever expect from you. Thanks.

Didnt cuntdal beat Ramos in the Monte Carlo final last year?

Ramos on paper is a much more difficult opponent. He was in 2 master finals, Shanghai first, before MC.
Copil came out of nowhere .

So much for the Kumbaya.

Indeed he is, but Nadal beat Nishikori in that final.

The fed fans are fully aware of his current level of play. Nobody is denying that.

Having said that, Fed managed to win a 500 title even while sucking almost every day of the tourney.

If you look at the proportion of big titles in the total number of titles of Federer, you will realize that it is amazingly high quality collection of titles. Fed is not into padding up his resume by playing in meaningless mickey-mouse tourneys. You get real. If you want, I can give you a complete break up of Fed's titles vis-a-vis other players.

Mugray is more difficult opponent on paper but i'm sure fakervic would prefer playing him over Stanimal anywhere outside grass.

Copil is more dangeous on an indoor HC than Ramos is on clay even though their ranking is not close.

By your own definition, not equivalent.
