-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Just out of reach that first set. Jankovic takes it 6-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luineul Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Geez Feds, that was a close shave. Was he playing terribly or was Falla actually pushing him to his limits? I was only able to watch the 5th set which he won easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only able to watch the 5th set which he won easily. Rarely does Federer struggle because the other guy was playing phenomenal tennis (Roddick last year would be one). He was making a lot of unforced errors and just plain bad decisions. Still, he held together and he made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all his years of competition and success, it's hard to understand why consistency is still a problem. He's so good that his streakiness usually doesn't cost him in the end, but it sure makes some fans nervous. I guess it's more entertaining that way though... Except when Federer makes sour faces!

He's so good that his streakiness usually doesn't cost him in the end, but it sure makes some fans nervous. I guess it's more entertaining that way though... Except when Federer makes sour faces! There's a handful of explanations as to why Federer loses games throughout his career... 1. He's a slow starter when playing against opponents he's not familiar with. Once he has about two or three matches with the player, the odds of beating Feds decreases considerably (it goes from 1% chance of winning to 0.00001%) 2. He's playing a guy who has the potential to get REALLY hot, although most of these players are headcases (Djokovic, Safin, Del Potro). 3. He's playing Rafa and he becomes a COMPLETE headcase. 4. Recently, he's starting to get old and he's lost some of the magic. He makes a lot more errors than he used to. Kind of like Tiger Woods now. As for the other times when he loses for no reason, it's really no reason, just a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I think that Roger may be in for a tougher time in this years Wimbledon, more players are getting familiar with his way of playing and winning and are able to capitalize on his weaknesses as small as they are. Plus he is getting a bit older now and you have to wonder when complacency will start to be an issue. Greatest player ever though, bar none.

luineul Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Dammit, Verdasco lost to Fognini in the first round!! Will we never see him play at his prime again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckamo Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) I'm a Roddick fan, so I'm kind of used to disappointment, but he had a strong first match, hopefully he can gain some good momentum and make a solid run at the championship. I swear I must be a curse or something. No team/player I cheer for ever wins...not since Agassi. And as an Andy fan, I cannot stand Federer. Good news for Canada, Wozniak's on to the 2nd round. Unfortunately she's playing Jankovic. Also, Nestor plays tomorrow...I don't generally keep track of doubles but best of luck to him and Zimonjic, make it 3 in a row Roger fans are saying he let him win for once. Roger would never pity someone enough to let them win. Edited June 23, 2010 by ckamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
