Hey guys, just a quick post about news from off the courts this week as Nadal has announced he’s playing the Swiss Indoors in Basel and tournament organiser Roger Brennwald has once again started stirring up a media storm with what appears to be his own personal anti-Federer campaign. I mentioned my dislike for Brennwald a couple of times in ... Read More »
Note from Jonathan: This is a post from Gaurav one of the readers here and it takes an interesting look at the Fedal rivarly and how the surface bias effects the H2H, I found it a very interesting take and I hope you do too so look forward to reading your comments. Take it away Gaurav… Every now and then ... Read More »
As a Federer fan it’s very easy to only remember matches where Roger threw them away when he had multiple chances to win, the 2 US Open Semi Finals, the Rome final of 2006 and the Australian Open final of 2009 all immediately spring to mind. It often leads people to think Federer is no good in the big moments ... Read More »
No serious posts or predictions for today but I thought I’d share with you guys what I think is the most complete Roger Federer GIF collection going. I’ve been saving them for a while now when I see them and have amassed quite a collection that you can see below. It might take a while to load as there’s quite ... Read More »
Hey guys, the countdown timer until we see Federer play again is slowly but surely getting closer to zero so I thought I’d start some early discussions and take a look at what to expect from the man himself throughout the European clay court swing. I was planning on waiting till closer to Madrid starting, but seen as though Roger ... Read More »
Hey all, here’s Roger Federer’s outfit for the 2013 Madrid Masters and for the Internazionali BNL d’Italia Rome Masters in the run up to the French Open. First thoughts, wow I’m shocked. A green crew neck tshirt? Very Nadal esque and I’m instantly not a fan of this one. What has Roger done to deserve this one? I know he ... Read More »
You may remember a while back I posted about tennis court surfaces and how they have been slowed down over the years to create a wider gulf at the top of the game so the money-men get their blockbuster Fedal, Djokovic vs. Murray and Nadal Djokovic finals. That topic hasn’t been brought up in a while but I saw an ... Read More »
As we all know Federer has a reputation for remaining cool, calm and collected on court even in the toughest and dramatic of matches but he hasn’t always been like that. In fact it was only after he lost to Franco Squillari in Hamburg in 2001 and smashed his racquet that he decided to keep his emotions in check; he’s ... Read More »
Hey everyone, sadly my pre tournament prediction came true as Roger lost rather easily to Nadal 6-4 6-2 in their Indian Wells Quarter Final showdown to bow out of yet another event rather tamely. After seeing the way Federer played against Wawrinka earlier in the week I didn’t have too many expectations for this encounter so it wasn’t too disappointing ... Read More »
Hey everyone, apologies on the delay on this post, the time difference screws me over a little as the matches finish late and I have to work during the day so can’t always get them done. Anyway onto last night’s match where Roger struggled through against fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka 6-3, 6-7(4), 7-5 in two hours and 20 minutes. It ... Read More »
