Australian Open - Day 14

[Stevi_Tigers]

Cilic is either really happy or a great ******* actor

I was too busy typing to notice Basil taking a selfie.

 

[bullish23]

20 slams is just phenomenal. Pure genius

 

[Andronicus]

Those tears are probably worth more than Tomic's millions.

So are his millions.

The Australian Open would have to be Roger's most consistent slam? 6 titles, 7 finals, 14 semi's in 15 years & 94 wins- 3 more than Wimbledon.

He never thanks Mirka personally and I think she is ok with that.

He thanks her with very expensive gifts no doubt.

"I can't wait to get Roger up here to ask him questions!" says Hamish.

It's not about you, Hamish.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Love his passion for Tennis. Federer IS the greatest ever.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Poor Jim courier going from Bruce to Hamish and basil no one deserves that

 

[DIG]

Hardlicker.. love your work.

Apparently her maiden name was Softlicker.

It's not about you, Hamish.

I imagine that it'd be a clause in playing that the winner of the singles must go do an interview with channel 7, however what if someone won who doesn't speak English?

They not only speak to channel 7, but then the American network either espn or tennis channel, then the Australian open journalist, then the press conference.

 

[Thrawn]

******* idiot Basil. A selfie? At that time? Really??

 

[ams4crows]

Even though the match went to 5 it never felt epic it was kinda unforced error riddled...

Certainly not one I'll remember in 5 years time. The Djockovic v Nadal final that went to 5 is still the best Australian open final we've ever seen.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

He's won 10% of slams in the Open Era! That's insane!

 

[JamisonRun40]

I'm trying to tune into the tennis app and catch Roger but it isn't working for me. Can someone post the link for me?

 

[Blue1980]

Just can’t help but love the guy. Can’t think of a more universally loved champion.

I think we all feel lucky to be witnessing a legend everyone wants to enjoy it while it lasts, and we all realize any slam win now could be his last.

He knows that any win could be it too, hence the emotional reaction

 

[Dadda Dave]

While I was rooting for cilic, Roger Federer is the greatest sportsman in the 2000s.[/QUOTE

What % if you add Rafa and Novak?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Exactly right Jim it’s like seeing Ali or Jordan in there prime the game of tennis will be poorer the day he hangs it up

Not according to half this thread. Can't wait until he's gone, tennis is boring with him around!

Interesting listening to Jim’s comments. Seems he is universally adored by all.

 

[Feerits Elf]

About 24

I can understand wanting to see new blood win but seriously he didn’t win a grandslam for 4 years then wins 3 in 18 months he is slowing down playing less matches and his back is going on him. It’s a pleasure seeing the greats play

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

No one ever thought Federer would do this in 2018 when he was peaking in 2004-2007.

It's extraordinary! I'm in awe!
