Fair dinkum im getting fed up with the love fest for federer by the commentators (Courier in particular) it has reached embarressing proportions. Sure the guy is a brilliant tennis player but do you really have to say that every single shot is brilliant, wonderful, out of this world spectacular when there not? He hasn't played that well tonite Safin has been below average. All i ask for is play by play commentating not some " God how much do i love federer" commentating.

It's all very much warranted.

I'd ski with him
He is the most gifted, or certainly among the most gifted, performers their sport has ever had. They are showing appreciation for a talent which is unequaled. Quite right too. Golfers rave about Tiger in the same way.
All warranted, he is that good.
Same happens when Tiger plays golf, Schumacher drove F1, Judd plays footy, Tendulkar played cricket (before all his injuries), Bolt running on the track, Phelps in the pool... I think you get my point.
Fed most likely the best tennis player to have played the game, and only reason he hasn't already beaten Sampras' slam recordis playing the same time as the best clay courter in history (Raffa).

He played some amazing tennis last night. Safin played alright, Fed was awesome. He is more likely than not the Best tennis player ever and deserves all praise he gets.
Concur with most of what has been said above, but the volume of adulation during a match is ridiculous. There are two players out there and they should save the ****-sucking for before and after the match.

Yes, the bloke is a freak but the love fest they have for him makes watching his matches almost unbearable. I just hope somebody beats him so I don't have to hear it again. 
It is getting bad this afternoon.
Jim Courier is about to faint now Fed has been broken twice in the 1st set .

They praise the guy who is winning. Simple.
Nadal was amazing last night, and got due love from the commentators.

i know this is somewhat off topic. but whilst watching the federer/berdych match today im wondering, why at the start of the 3rd set berdych served first. im pretty sure he served at 5-6 in the second to take it to tie-break, and he served last in the tie-break when it was 7-4. either im wrong about who served last in the second set or someone made a mistake.
Right behind the magician McEnroe (and perhaps Laver) IMHO as the most gifted ever.
McEnroe was insanely gifted.

They better get all the loving they can in here, because he's in more trouble than the early settlers right now.

I think the rule is Federer served first in the tie break so Berdych serves first in the 3rd set.
Is Berdych getting a ridiculous amount of love and praise now?

I don't know about McEnroe, he was good, but nobody plays like Roger. I haven't seen Rod Laver though.
More then good he was uniquely gifted. Roger is a brilliant player but not in McEnroe's league when it comes to natural talent.
Of course he has passed Mac in slams but remember his peers were the likes of Borg,Becker,Edberg,Lendl,Vilas,Wilander & some guy called Connors. Roger has really only had Nadal who could mix it with that group of players.
