Good day one and all smiley

I think what this tells us is just how far ahead of the field Federer is. Tennis for me is always about formulas. In terms of his career achievements what does this tell us?

I think if anything how simplistic his game is to him and also on the eye. Not player to engage in long lungbursting rallies. I think a lot of negativity surrounding today's style of tennis is how difficult it is to watch at times and how difficult it must be for the players playing it to maintain. Once Federer's tennis was countered with sheer athletism, it was thrown back to him as how was he going to counter this and he did it by increasing the consistency in his serving and becoming a much accomplished volleyer. A style really that is attributed to much younger players before and now has become a tactic which is gaining more popularity with the more senior players on tour.

Will anyone come close to matching his statistics? Not at all. The question for the likes of Nadal, Murray and Djokovic is how are they going to evolve their games to counter age and also the future talent that comes through.

Welcome LK! You finally made the jump! Winking

I had been looking in and around the subjects and it does make a change to discuss more 'frank' topics after the lovey dovey stuff you see on other forums.

It seems to have quietened down elsewhere so I thought I would jump on board the tennis train here smiley

Again, the typical LF use of facts without any coherence to the subject at hand and not bringing anything to the debate. If all you wanted to say is this is a coincidence and you could find other players that combined together have the same number of slams as Fed, then fine, just say so and add a couple of examples, but no, you needed to be a smart Alec and show you know useless facts, even though I am sure you needed some help of your Google/Wiki friends... didn't it occur to you that Tenez is at least using some contemporary players to Fed? Or maybe you did and this post was just the continuation of your:

laverfan wrote:Where are the Wee Keira theorists? Federer has as many slams as .... 2033450363

So maybe you could take Sampras and find players of his era who combined have the same number of slams, or use Nadal, or use Laver as you are a fan of his, and then show us that statistically it is bound to happen, etc. Then maybe you'd have a point, but then again, you would know how to debate if you could do that from the first go...

Why on earth are you attacking LF here Doh

She was praising Federer, not insulting him. Her list was to show how good Federer was, even compared to legends of the past (stats wise). The 'Wee Kiera' thing is a phrase taking the mickey out of people who believed there was a 'Weak Era'. Laverfan does not believe this is the case.

But just come on here and have a go at Laverfan at usual, even when he didn't even mention you. You didn't even understand his post, and you still attacked him Doh

If you weren't constantly launching ridiculous snide attacks on LF, I would have had to say anything.

You mean you would NOT have had to say anything... Funnily enough you are the only one doing so, I wonder why... Also don't you wonder why no-one felt the need to even reply to her posts? Try and think about that and how it is correlated to her second post being of little relevance here...

Also, I am not really attacking her, per se, just the relevance of her post. And I, at least, had some real comments to make and even gave a proposal on how she could argue her point better if she really wanted to debate the OP.

Take it easy Amri and SpHair. Hug to both.

As NITB says, let us have a bit of fun while discussing tennis.

As LK says, perhaps the lovey-dovey stuff can stay where it belongs and we can bare our fangs a bit on here.

“On October 6, I plan to assassinate Federer for the purpose of tennis extermination.” Well who could that be? Catalan Power?
