Grand Slam Australian Open 2019 - Day 14

[Thrawn]

Fed ain't what he was. Nobody fears him anymore, especially at Wimbledon.

Then they're fools.

But go on and write him off at your own peril. You probably did in 2016 when he looked even worse at times.

I'm not going to write off Federer, Nadal or djokovic from winning slams. I've done it before and they've all proven me wrong once. So until they retire, I'm sure they can win more slams.

No more slams for Fed. He needs another Novak/Rafa empty dream run.

 

[Xtreme]

There's more chance of Tony Abbott becoming PM again than there is of Federer ever winning another grand slam.

Off to the retirement village he goes!

I'll happily write Federer off, something I've not done before, because I just dont see him winding back the clock one more time.

4th round, 4th round and quarter final. Thats his last 3 finishes. I have loved watching Fed but at his age unless he gets another dream run his chances are done.

Hearing Djokovic say our lingo never fails to make me smile. Especially because it was ages since I heard the word bonzer

Let’s be honest, he wound the clock back because Novak wasn’t there to stop him for a year and a half with his personal troubles.

Has had his measure for some time now.

Disagree.

People forget that Federer was the best player by far in the first half of the 2017 season. Hardly dropped a set. He was untouchable and his Wimbledon crown was as predictable as Nadals French that year. I don think Nole ever won a IW/Miami double in the same year ever, for example. Fed also beat Nadal twice in finals that period.
