is insane, his backhand is so disgusting, i think his backhand is the sickest backhand of all time. Maybe hes better at backhand than forehand. but his forehand is nasty too. And he is alot faster than people think. And if he needed to he could rally a point for 10 minutes without making a mistake.

anyways I hope everybody watches his upcoming matches

federer's backhand is better than his forehand. he returned roddicks 140 mph serve like it was nothing.

only on hardcourt which makes up 50% of the total grand slam season.

Some of those backhand returns were incredible, Roddick was throwing everything at him, but the ball just kept coming back over the net.

I'd go as far as saying he is the most dominant athlete in any sport in the world right now. Only person that comes close is Tiger, but still no. He is a god amongst men.

Boring. Folks like Woods, Federer, Schumacher, etc. make the sport dull, since they're just way too dominant. I'd prefer a more level playing field, not someone who takes a title six times in a row.

but they are what makes everyone else want to play. they want to beat the best. nadal is coming along quite smoothly. roddick is getting there. ferrer is really good.

in the golf department. i dunno. it's a different playing field each week. haha.

I'm a Nadal fan, he's on the cusp of becoming #1, if he can only win the stuff on non-clay surfaces.

Yeah, no offense intended, I enjoy Switzerland, it's just that more often than not in Europe xenophobia is very open, LePen, the SVP, Haider, the NPD . . .

i dont know how you can say nadal sucks, hes getting a lot better on hard court with tendinitus(sp?) in both knees and a messed up left hand.  and did anyone watch djokovic's last match, pretty good impresions.

Roger Federer is the best tennis player of all time.


... No, that's not good enough to do him justice. Roger Federer is better at tennis than Tiger Woods is at golf.


... No, that's still not it. Roger Federer is better at tennis than anyone else has ever been at any sport in the history of sports.

There. I said it.

As for it being boring, well kind of; 2000-2003 made for more exciting majors, for sure. But getting to see someone who is truly a master play is watching an artwork in motion, and it's a rare opportunity. As a result Fed's matches are entertaining for me just to watch the shotmaking. I've gotten tears in my eyes watching some of those matches.

All of this said, remember, Djokovic CAN BEAT HIM on a hard court, and did at Montreal this year in the final. Sure it's unlikely, but it can happen. And I wouldn't be too choked if it did, because Djokovic is hilarious.
