Swiss Indoors 2018, Basel, ATP 500

[Federberg]

Fed's just lucky Simon is like the rest of this gutless era who can't seem "to finish!" He was 2 pts from the 1st set several times and couldn't complete the deal! His volleying sucks and he should be embarrassed for those efforts in the forecourt! :whistle: :cuckoo:

Update: Not sure I've seen Roger so frustrated when winning; actually gesticulating, screaming @ his efforts, taking swipes at the court, and slamming the ball! o_O

Question for you... if it was Novak that Simon lost an advantage to would he still be gutless?

If, if, if.... I think not! Not hardly going to get into that BS! Nole's come up short enough times without me going into it when he isn't even in this tournament! Go play that game with someone else; THANKS! :whistle: :cuckoo:

me playing a game? You're the one trolling. Calling Federer lucky. Personally I think he's playing shite, and his decline the 2nd half of the year is shocking to see. But where is the luck? He's played gritty not great tennis today. You take it a bit far calling him lucky. I merely asked because I wanted to find out if you were just trolling or if you would impugn your guy when required? Darth and I don't hesitate to slate Roger, and I can accept it from folks who do the same with their guys, hence my question

A win is a win is a win but man, this is the worst way to win for Roger.

He might have to skip Paris if he manages to get to the final; doubtful at this point playing like this! :whistle:

 

[El Dude]

He’s winning but by small margins against journeyman players. Kind of worrying.

 

[Horsa]

If you want to know how it seems to me,
Although Roger's not the best that he can be.
A win's still a win at the end of the day.
Though he hasn't played the best game he can play.
Don't forget he's already reached the top!
He doesn't feel he can reach any higher so he only puts in as much effort as he feels to, then he'll stop.
He knows he won't be able to play forever,
So he doesn't put in as much endeavour.
After you reach a certain age, you're more liable to injuries, aches & pains.
Motivation also wanes.
Motivation gets so low.
You only go as far as you feel you need to go.

Simon's worst choke since possibly that infamous Australian Open 2016 R16 match.

I'm beyond worry now mate. He just looks like an old man now

Whatever does not kill you make you stronger; that includes pests like Simon.

 

[monfed]

60 UEs. LOL only pushmon can do this. A total cockroach who gets the worst out of opponents. What is his use?

As for Fed, 60 UEs indoors. LOL I don't think he's ever made that many UEs in an indoor HC, don't think even in 2013. He's so done atleast for this season.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

Federer is so up n down in all aspects again today..

ok gilles pushon is semi-top player (former top10 ?),,but..um yeah.. Federer has recently looked 37.out there.

Preseus just won his first title. I expected a let down and it happened.

At 37, what else can you call a player in tennis terms? He is the last few of them left.

I agree. Had to happen sometime. Just jarring to see the speed at which it's occurred
