Ahhh...yeah I looked it up.

What don't you like about him or his game????

The guy just has such AMAZING,
consistent power; I always loved watching him play. I don't mind if a player is one dimensional, if that one dimension is super strong and utilized to the fullest.

His win over Rafa at the French was amazing to watch live, it really was like a gladiator slaying a lion or something, that is how it felt to me watching.

Anyways now I know where he is and know hell probably end up retiring like Mario ancic

A referee doesn't count out a boxer who is laying dead on the canvas**.

**dead on the canvas; also known as losing to Daniel Brands in straight sets.

Federer has now lost to players outside the top 50 at his last three tournaments.

The tarnish is already starting to show. :?

He has withdrawn from the Rogers Cup while the 3 GS winners this year are attending. He will be playing Cincinnati for sure though (only Masters where he has some realistic chances.)

Fed should TOTALLY try playing on stilts...imagine his serve at 6'11.

Also it could prove invaluable against Rafa on clay...he would be taking even his highest bouncing BH at around waist level.

Yeah, stilts are probably what he should do

Did anyone watch Matosevic-Tursunov? Matosevic had the worst luck, he sustained a wrist injury while leading 3-1 in the 3rd set tie break. Predictably lost the tie 4-7.

The older and slower Federer gets, the bigger and longer the racquet needs to be.

A slightly larger racquet will serve him well in 2013. If he plays beyond 2013 he's gonna need one of these:

Do you still stand by this?

Oh wait.. you probably do.
