Damn Federer, his too gud (2 Viewers)

i disagree, radal ain't that good, his tennis just looks good. But he doesn't play a smart game. This shown by his less than impressive year this year.

Haha are you serious?

He's 18 years old. He was in six Challenger finals last year, winning two. At age 16, he reached the third round of two ATP Masters events, defeating two top ten players. He then reached the third rounds of Wimbledon and the Aus Open, reached the Auckland final, won two ATP doubles titles.

The guy could still be playing juniors and he's like 40 in the world. He's beaten Moya and Costa on clay. Any guys who you rate higher or see as having more potential? I'd be interested to know considering Rafael ain't that good.

nadal is really good for his age
i rekon that in a few yrs he could be no 1... im sure he will be no 1 at some stage
and i would love to see federer win 4 grand slams
i think he does have charisma
i saw him play at the aus open earlier this yr and his was awsome to watch
i love roddick... but not so much for his tennis
i think that roddick and hewitt are good but not up to federer standards
had he got a new coach yet?
i don't think he really needs one he shouldn't waste the money

Haha it's true... but that is easy to do in tennis. He just doesn't care enough, that's the only thing holding him back from being one of the best. The fact he doesn't give a fuck is also part of the reason I love him.

tennis would be so much more interseting if federer didnt win everything... it was ok wen he won the first two.. but now it seems expected.. sorta like the aussie cricket team
