peasy23 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Think that statement was also true before the first round, to be fair. But you never do know. Federer a set down against Hurkacz but a break up in the second. But gets pegged back to lose it in a tie break. Can't see Roger having the legs to come back from 2 sets down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be one of the greatest comebacks in his already magnificent career 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only joint-most successful Swiss player... Much as I prefer Federer and Nadal it's hard to argue that Djokovic isn't the best of this era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who is anyone in tennis circles can see this but to the fair weather supporter its always Federer and Nadal.For instance my sister (fair weather Wimbledon supporter only) texted me yesterday evening saying, omg Fed is getting hammered...I merely replied hes nearly 40 ffs [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd always much rather watch Federer and Nadal though, there's something brutal and mechanical about Djokovic's game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
