For the hardcore tennis fans in here....I'm watching Fed play the last couple of weeks.

He used be even better than THIS? :damn:

His ground stokes used to have more depth and pace

Normally I would say he's going to get washed by djokovic but with this roof. I think he's going to serve a high percentage

If you missed him when he was unfukkwittable......

Bruh, he had the glow for real. Opponents would just wilt at his will to win, whether it was in straights or deep in the 5th set. Every Fed match there was that moment, you'd sense it happening. Like, Fed's taking over the game.




























Nobody better bring up Nadal, dude's been so off lately.

Only people who's game troubled him was obviously Rafa's and Novak (starting in 07).

This right here tho......these types of performances arent suppose to happen. The way he use to utterly abuse poor Andy Roddikk

Honestly peak federer was unreal. It literally felt like he would never lose. So fluid and always had grace with it, which he still has today. Dude was just a beast and he has adapted his game to his age also. It's great to se.

Had he employed Stefan Edberg a few years earlier :wow:

Had he used a regular sized racquet a few years earlier :wow:

He was being HELLA stubborn about that racquet change too. I remember that. I really do believe, if he's physically able to, much like Serena that they can play at a top 20 level near or at 40 years old. I REALLY feel that way

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/17/s...federer-with-new-racket-to-find-out.html?_r=0

Thus Roger Federer’s decision to switch not only coaches but also rackets this season reverberated throughout the professional tennis world, for it was radical and rare and seemed to indicate that even the great Federer had acknowledged he needed to change in order to survive.

Federer long dominated tennis with a racket that had a surface area of 90 square inches. It served as his magic wand until one year when it did not.

That year was 2013, the first year since 2002 that Federer did not advance to a Grand Slam final.

I read somewhere he's playing with a 98 inch one now
