Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

I am with you....she is "inviting".


Needs to work on her outfits, for sure.

I nevvvvver understood why he would ever dress like that at Wimledon.
I am a huge fan cause he seems to be so down to earth . But here I felt a little :shock:


Because this is how the used to dress back in the 50s and 60s , tennis used to be a classy sport.

Dressing like you're going to a cocktail party when in fact you're going to a match does NOT make a sport classy, it makes you look silly.
In fact, if you can compete in any 'sport' while wearing a tuxedo, it should no longer be called a sport.

To be fair he didn't actually play the match in that ridiculous get-up...it was just for warm-ups. Still ridiculous, though...

Well, if traditions are what prompted it, then where is the wooden racket?

It's a basic "look how cool I am, the goat!" outfit.

This would be equivalevnt of someone back in a day wearing a sleveless shirt.

not exactly practical to warm up with a woody.
unless you meant to just bring the wood racquet along to kind of complete 'the look' :lol:

I think djarvik meant what he wrote...

If he's going to be traditional, it's only slightly more ridiculous to bring out a wood racket than it is to play in a shirt/vest/long pants.

so now were measuring the levels of 'ridiculousness' ? :lol:

ok so it either:

He looks ridiculous. The jacket and vest is laughable and so over the top. It shows how arrogant he is, there’s been many great players over the years who have graced Wimbledon but none of them have resorted to this. what a ponce.

or

Federer looks awesome! …Just the right balance between old-fashioned and contemporary. If Federer would have felt unsure about it, he wouldn’t have agreed to wear it.


either way, who gives a f...? :lol:

Golden trim and Nike logo......enough said. There is no OR


I always liked Federer's game. I liked his personality as well, up until he lost Australian Open to Nadal. I had a big change of heart then.....

Hey, I didn't mean to offend you personally bro, sorry if I did...
And I think neither of those choices do the situation justice.

Not entirely sure what a ponce is, but I can guess it's analogous to a douche?

If so I agree more with the first option.

I thought you were referring to Ponce de León. I was thinking, "Damn, he was a cool explorer. Why the hate?"
