JZA said:i cant stand him, but he is just miles ahead of anyone else on the planet.
hes reached the upper echelon of untouchable sports stars like MJ, tiger, bradman etc. hate his guts but have to applaud his tennis ability, bloody freakish!
geelongfan said:why do you hate him?
jealous or something?
he is one of the only superstars of sport that doesn't have an attitude problem, and is gracious in defeat..
JZA said:im jealous of all sports stars, but thats not the issue. theres just something i dont like about him. cant put it down to any one thing...just his overall blandness, every element of him is just, i dunno...milquetoast. perhaps he is too perfect, i like my heroes to be flawed
i mean, on the court he is perfect, absolutely no weaknesses to his game. off the court he is a perfect gentleman, a perfect citizen. its like hes a robot.
jvalles69 said:Yep he's a star! Last nights game was awesome, and it looks like Feds one weakness in the future is going to be Rafa! Looking forward to these 2 battling for years!
hsv006 said:I find hes actually quite boring...Sure hes a brilliant tennis player..but hes got no spark !!!Well you know what i mean...just very little show of emotion on the court.
Skill wise not the same i know but bring back mc enrow with his bad temper...damn entertaining
JZA said:exactly stevo, thats the main reason i cant stand him. id rather a hewitt, nadal, bagdhatis, mcenroe...they actually show emotion, passion, and intensity on court. even rafter was great, he was a perfect guy off the court like federer but he busted his guts out on court. fed always looks like hes in 3rd gear, just cruising.
geelongfan said:just different personalities..
why waste energy pumping yourself up on the court when you can conserve it and focus intently on the game..
for anyone who questions federers emotions, did you see when he broke down in tears at the end of the australian open?
what about when sampras's mate passed away and in a final he was sobbing almost uncontrollably inbetween a set..
don't question the passion of two of the legends of the game.. there is a reason they are the best..
dedication and hard work
