If Federer had any pride left he would retire

Fed is the man. I cant say the same for that steroid cheat Nadal who lost to the 19 year old.

’ Nuff said.

indeed

roger should retire and so should the top 3 in near future

so we can see raonic aka serve bot or other mediocre, boring player winning some slams

(flashback to us open 2014 final - nishikori/cilic - spectacular final)

the day the top 3 retire is the day the tennis dies

Looks like Roger himself replied. Taking CFA level 1 to prepare for life after tennis.

At least your username does not make you biased. You’re as credible as pats_fan_4_life discussing deflate gate on message board XYZ.

Federer playing ridiculous tennis for a guy in his mid thirties.

where you @ Former Trader. Haters gonna Hate.

Tennis is so boring, how do people watch this crap?

Most pros dream of the chance to make the Wimbledon finals just once in their career. Here Fed is once again, after all these office dilettantes said he had no business playing tennis. sad

This is his 10th Wimbledon final (no that is not a typo) - amazing

Cheering fof Fed on Sunday. If he plays like he played today, Djoks will have no chance

It’s sad Roger defend his level of play to the press who constantly ask these questions. If he played as well against djokovic as he did murray he would’ve held his 8th wimbledon trophy yesterday. Here’s to hoping Fed gets another shot at the US Open

For Fed it is all mental, as his game is all finesse. If he loses that mental edge, comes out of the zone - he is done. He can’t grind it like djoks or nadal

I’ve seen this in whitewater. Guys who are beasts get in their 40’s and run heavy stuff relying on their technique over athleticism. Usually these guys say it’s some of their best years of kayaking. I think what some people miss is that in some ways these are probably some of the best and most rewarding years of Federer’s career. He probably understands and approaches the game in a different way than he used to and gets a lot of enjoyment out of taking on younger players using his experience.

^ + 100 Black Swan!

And the way he took out Murray in SF was a treat to watch. Do you think FedEx just has a mental block against Djoker, as suggested by a couple of Pundits?

I dont personally think so, because Djoker is just playing some unbelievable tennis right now… Just hope for the fans sake, FedEx wins any one Slam one last time atleast…

are we really calling Federer FedEx?

Yes… Federer Express (FedEx), this name was called out during 2007-2008 if I remember correctly.

haters gonna hate. Still going strong at 34!! Could have won last night if he converted the break points in the 3rd.

man’s got mouths to feed - no shame in making the finals at his age. however it does hurt fans going into the final knowing he only has an outside chance of besting Djoko. As long as he’s making the semi’s, he’s still got it IMO.

Anything he wins in the “taper off” part of his career counts to his overall record too. At this point, what matters to him is not individual titles, but the few more titles he can win so he can be regarded as the best player of all time. Even if he is past his prime, it makes sense to keep playing while he still has a reasonable chance at winning. Plus, he probably can’t be the best tennis player in the world without some being pathologically competitive. So it’s probably hard to admit when it is time to retire (although I believe that it is not yet the time).
