I hope it doesn't happen of course, if he can win the US Open he will have the chance in January to hold all the majors at once. I would love to see another period of total Federer dominance.

Dominate as he had done previously?
I don't know if Fed can be the same as he was during '04-'07. Although it's kinda hard to put a label on this guy. I mean this year he's won RG and Wimby so those achievements would be viewed by many as a period of dominance. But I reckon his absolute peak was a couple years back.
But again, I maintain that whatever success/failure happens for him in the next few years, in my opinion, won't be for lack of motivation. Everytime this guy picks up a racket he's playing for history. It means way too much to him.

he has become quite arrogant IMO----i think its venom who has the quote "its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice" he told roddick he knew what he was going through---but actually he has no idea what roddick is going through---roddick vs federer 2-19----ewwwwww.....roddick would have some slams under his belt if it wasnt for MR. 15---cmon Roger come back down to earth---you are still just a human being---you may be one of the greatest, but you are definitely not supposed to critisize other peoples games and thoughts....

He was just trying to be nice to roddick. Granted it did come out the wrong way. But you wont find a much nicer person than him. He does sometimes get mumbled about what he is going to say, but everything he said seemed like he meant it in a good way.

I personally dont think he is big headed, all he has to do is look at his records verse murray and nadal

How was that a criticism? People always say things like that after a match and he was obviously referring to losing a tough 5 set final at Wimbledon, which he does know how it feels. Also I think we sometimes forget English isn't even his 1st language even though he speaks it well, sometimes things get taken out of context.

I admit he seemed a lot less emotional and more happy with himself after winning (maybe could be seen as being smug) but I honestly think he was just shocked by what he had achieved.

I heard somewhere that Federer said that all the last times he had been beat by murray he had sore backs and other 'problems'. This mights seem slightly big headed.

He is usually not big headed and is generally nice, but even last year his attitude was faltering, i think moslty out of jealousy of being beat a lot more than what he is used to

In the fourth and fifth set, Federer was making hilarious unforced errors( hitting the balls 3 meters out) with both his fh and bh. If weren't for his serves, i think he would have lost. But again, there were some points where Roddick showed his technical limits, especially when he had to play from the net, lured by Federer.

Agreed. I could not have said it much better. I mean Roddick had 15-40 in the fifth to serve out the championship.

My students and I talked about it in class today. LOL. :wink:
