Grand Slam Australian Open (Day 11, Thursday)

[Xtreme]

I already do a variation of that - punch the chest twice then do a finger point (crowd or where the goals are!). Pretty sure he did that a few years ago as well

 

[Sempfy]

Predictable result is predictable

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

The crowd is taking for granted one of the greatest to play the sport because they fawn over Federer so much.

 

[pepsi]

This is not a new thing though. He has been quite angry for years now. Particularly when he is losing and that is probably where it all started with the crowd going against him.

Djokovic broke the Federer Nadal duopoly in tennis and the world didn't like it. His reactions are quite normal considering the limited crowd support he gets worldwide against Federer and Nadal.

 

[Wolfgang West]

This is not a new thing though. He has been quite angry for years now. Particularly when he is losing and that is probably where it all started with the crowd going against him.

He also dogged it one day in Melbourne retiring because of heat. Champion but A boring closet bad tempered robotic brick wall. Having said that great Champions in history sometimes are. Mayweather a prime example.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

The more this goes on, the more I hope Novak wins straight sets. I have nothing against Fed but his fans can fu** off.

Same. Fed's not my favourite player but his longevity is brilliant and something that I admire.

His fans are the most arrogant and disrespectful going around.

 

[Sempfy]

I don't care who you cheer for but don't shout out during the points you absolute *******s

 

[Flameboy]

What should the crowd be doing - out of curiosity? People go with their hearts and it just so happens that most are with Federer. I’m not sure what’s so wrong about that. They pay $100’s to get through the gate, they can boo or cheer whoever/however they want. Surely.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I wouldn't mind attending the open one day but tennis crowds seem to have a high percentage of tossers. Tonight would've been insufferable.

Federer is much closer to retirement. Turns 40 next year - who knows how many Aus Opens he has left?

 

[Wolfgang West]

When you think about how popular this sporting event has become on the Australian sports calendar and the numbers that attend over 2 weeks each day a percentage of imbeciles will walk through the turnstiles.

 

[Jonathan Sausage_]

This crowd is a joke. Could they be any further up Feds arse. I like both of them but this crowd is shocking.

Millman v Federer board.

Would like a dollar for every time I have read that on BF. One subject in particular.

 

[FreoRicci]

Djokovic is gonna pass both Fed and Nadal isn’t he

Nothing wrong with that.
The one that took all 4 majors at once, all against Federer, Nadal and Murray.
Knows both Nadal’s and Federer’s weaknesses each time. Just pure dominance.
Just the causal fans are offended.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Doesn't anyone want one of the nextgen players to win? Novak wins nearly every year give someone else a shot at holding up an AO Trophy.

While they were definitely on Federer’s side from the start, it’s pretty laughable that some think they should be up and about while a match ends up being really one sided.

If I’m there I want a close and long match.

Would you be saying this if Federer was winning?
Novak just wants that 21. I’m all for that.

I was hoping Medvedev would break out and win it this year but alas... Might have to hang my hopes on Thiem

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Sucked in you tossers in the crowd

 

[Wolfgang West]

I wouldn't mind attending the open one day but tennis crowds seem to have a high percentage of tossers. Tonight would've been insufferable.

Then make sure when you attend do not sit next to the Kyrigos player box. The Old Man and The Eyebrowless brother are the definition of insufferable.

 

[BIRDBRAIN]

If Fed had any self respect he would be pretending to limp by now so he has some good excuses lined up for the presser.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Djokovic is my preference as I want him to surpass Federer in the GS Tally but I would be more than happy to see either Thiem or Zverev win it.

 

[danielnajdek]

Feds wife looks happy

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Novak just wants that 21. I’m all for that.

Yep I still would be saying that.

 

[Antonio Conte]

No issues with Fed. It's his fans, tournament organisers and media why I want both Nadal and Djokovic to surpass him in the slam count.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It is cute when people think Federer vs Djokovic will be close...
