federer proved himself too old today to be considered elite at this point

RIp in Peaces

I've watched Wimbledon since I was a little kid and one thing I ALWAYS wanted to know is why do they always get given like 3 balls by the ball girl/boy before serving and then knock one back? Why don't they just take 2 balls? And why do they need to put one in their pocket?
>>
This thread needs more kimposting desu
>>
>if he don't start playing tennis
Are you serious? Do you even play tennis? I mean, the guy has been a solid top 10 player for a long time. Can't you recognise the effort involved in doing such thing?

Based on the tennis "experts" on /sp, if the player can't handle certain situations he is automaticaly called a bad player whith no talent or will to play the game.

You guys could think twice sometimes, cause there's a really deep lack of understand about the reality of the sport in these tennis discussions.

Murray is the best British sportsman right now tbqh
>>
>>69373925
He's a top 10 player of all time.

Sadly his slam count doesn't reflect that yet, bit clearerly he is unbeatable outside djokovic atm. Could easily get to 7 or 8 slams

>a Slam final without Djokovic
>>
>>69374673
Their AO semi was pretty good, I hope it goes 5 sets again.
>>
>>69374677
hopefully he slips and breaks his spine so tennis can be enjoyable to watch again
>>
>>69374545
kek, that's true.
>>
>>69374673
EBAM in three I think
>>
>>69374700
5 sets would be entertaining but I'm not sure I could handle the stress
>>
>1 month till tennis Olympics
>>
>>69374800
I don't really care who wins at this point so I'm just rooting for a close final.
>>
>>69374835

Hope Djokovic gets Zika

>>69373417
Fun fact: Serena takes the firest ball 9/10 and never takes a 2nd ball

this guy had some sort of radiation poisoning

their given 3 so they can choose the best 2.
tennis players are autistic about the balls, watch how they always bounce them the same number of times before a serve

Konta's pre-serve ritual really is something.
>>
>>69374916
This is the only redeeming thing about serena. She doesnt fall for le balls make a difference meme
>>
>>69374227
I want this retard to retire but it's so entertaining to watch him lose and cry as his dreams are crushed. Poor old man really thinks he can win another slam.
>>
>>69375110
Why does anyone like federer? I dont get it
>>
>>69375126
He was always disgusting as fuck with zero personality.
So happy that his time is over.
>>
>>69375126
Prime Federer was the best tennis player on Earth. Except on clay.
>>
>>69375110

If he can't win at Wimbledon when Djokovic is out then it's never happening.
>>
>>69375126
because he's successful and people like to latch onto successful people and teams to feel better about themselves. same reason real madrid and barcelona are so popular despite being horrible clubs.

federer is a massively smug, bitter unlikeable tool. you could literally fill an hour of youtube vidoes of him whining and complaining after matches hes lost being a bitter, sore loser. it's always he lost, rather than the opponent one, inferring that he deserved to win. one of my favourite moments was when Djokovic beat him in the wimbledon final and in his interview said "and thanks to Roegr for lettin me win". was absolutely based, and no one picked up on it and the connotations of it at the time
>>
>>69375126
90s kids who started watching tennis in 2004-2007 when he was dominating an era of literally whos so they think he's the best player ever.
>>
>>69375126

I can get why people appreciate his skills and game.

But why ANYONE ever thought a man who walks onto court in a blazer with his initials embroidered in gold on the lapel is "humble" just blows my mind.

I don't even care if great champions are arrogant cunts. But why do we need to PRETEND that they're not??

This guy is supposed to be human? Really? He looks incredibly uncomfortable in his skin-suit. I don't know who Serbia is trying to fool with this shit, the autonomous life form known as "Djokovich" obviously isn't entirely human
>>
>>69375242

it's his brand, he is swiss, this is humble
>>
>>69375374
His artificial hair gives it away.
>>
>>69375182

That sounds great until you look back at who he was up against back then.

>Old man Agassi and Sampras at the end of their careers
>manlet Hewitt
>"I HIT SERVE HARD HURR" Roddick
>mental nutjobs like Nalbandian & Safin
>mr no weapons Davydenko

What stellar competition...
>>
>>69375391
add on the fact that 12 of his 17 slams were before Nadal entered his prime in 2008
>>
>>69374942
nah, its Raonic after Sunday
>>
>>69375391
As opposed to Prime Djokovic who instead of having Peak Nadal (the best clay player of all time), he has mental manlet Murray, and the only player that could beat him consistently last year was a 34 year old Federer.
>>
>>69375408
>Nadal entered his prime in 2008

Yes before he found the steroid regime that worked.
>>
>>69375479
Nadal won 4 grand slams, 1 tour finals and 8 masters and reached the final of all 4 GS between 2011 and 2013 you utter clown, THAT was his peak.
>>
>>69375571
He won 6 slams from 2008 to 2010, and Federer's prime has always been considered to be between 2005 and 2009, how is that not Nadal's peak, you fucking retard?
>>
>""""The GOAT""""
>won two slams this decade
Hmm... really makes you think...

God I hope Murray wins.

We can't have a literal pigman as champion at Wimbledon...
>>
>>69375633
>considered to be between 2005
It's 2004, but that only makes his dominance more impressive.
>>
>>69375075
an easy comfort zone to be in when there isn't another player on tour anywhere in the same universe in terms of raw power
>>
>>69375479
>>69375633
Just admit it, djokovic will surpass federer
>>
>>69375126
I'm a casual, and pushing 30, but here's my perspective.

I think mostly because I'd like to be him. Wealthy, healthy, handsome, aging gracefully, an air of class about him. When I'm watching a match, sometimes I find myself wondering what it's like to live his life. Not in an obsessive way, but just a flash here and there, between points, maybe during a close up or a shot of his wife shouting encouragement.

But also, I like to see players still successful as they near the end of their careers. If they still have it in them, perhaps I still have it in me.

This isn't something you really understand until you age and start seeing fewer and fewer athletes your age. In your best moments you're excited for young players, but as they challenge and surpass your favorite athletes, knocking them off their perch, you begin to resent them. You enjoy them because they remind you of your youth, while also resenting them because they remind you that you're not young anymore. Now they are your competition. Now they are a threat.

So it's complex, I think. I find myself cheering for Venus and Serena, though I spent much of my life disliking them. I cheer for Federer, whereas before I was indifferent. I love seeing Hingis still around. I always hated Nadal, but now I have a soft spot for him and hope he can get it back together.

I'm rambling a bit, but I hope some of that made sense. That's why I like Federer.

Roger does it with style, though.
>>
>>69376109
So you basically an 'ageist'?
>>
>>69373335
Monfils
>>
>>69375872
Even if he were to surpass him in number of Slams won, which I doubt, Federer's period of dominance (just look at all the almost impossible to beat records he set back then), and his beautiful style of play would still make me and many other people still consider him the GOAT. After all, even back in 2006 when he hadn't set any of the records people were already calling him the best of all time.
>>
>>69376258
>Federer's period of dominance
I see none
>>
>>69376150
I've never thought of it that way. Not a full time ageist, but selectively I guess. I'm excited by young players coming in to the US national team, but I resented not bringing Donovan to the 2014 world cup.

I'm excited about the Lakers young team.

In politics, I think the old are as clueless as teens are.

Nothing's cut and dried.

I wonder what it'll be like at 50 or 70. If I'll still pull for the old guys. I have a feeling I will for the same reasons I outlined above. And I wouldn't be surprised if that explains Federer's popularity more generally.
>>
>>69376432
>I'm excited about the Lakers young team.
>and never felt any affinity for Kobe.
forgot to add that last bit.
>>
>>69375872
Never gonna happen.
As someone mentioned Djokovic doesnt really have real opposition. When he did he was always second.
>>
>>69376109
Good post.
>>
>>69375126
I like him simply because of the tennis I saw him play in his prime, he was who got me into the sport. I dont have to like his personality to enjoy watching him play.
>>
>>69376991
what a load of shit.

djokvoci only became good in 2011. dont try and change the course of history. pre-2011 djokovic was murray-tier.
>>
>>69378688
It's the other way around, buddy. Pre back surgery Murray was djokovic tier.
>>
>>69374121
>>69374127
>>69374183
>>69374188
Fucking go away you samefagging retard. He's 34 and reaching major semifinals and is still well ranked. He likes tennis and is still making shit tons of money. The record books will literally always hold Federer above djokovic. Get over it. I cannot wait to see how djokovic plays at 34. The only reason he even had any era of dominance at all was because Federer got old, nadal blew up his knees and/or roided out, and Murray had back surgery.
>>
>>69379569
he got good in 2011 before any of that happened m8
>>
Absolutely pathetic finals coming up in both sexes tbqh. Will not be watching any of them.

one of the worst to ever make the top 4 rankings, undoubtedly

Such a fucking choker. He has insane power but a shit serve for his height

>>69378688
no, Djokovic was already playing great in 2007

He's just been able to be a grinding bore because this era is shit and there was a massive talent gap (1989-1992 players).

Murray will breeze through the final. Hope he can get an AO title, 4 slams is about right for him.
>>
>>69374291
Actually slowing down the courts helps big servers on return, gives them time to set up big forehands. Same with high bouncing courts.

Raonic would've been routined by any decent grass player from the 90s. A low bounce would ruin him.
