Re: Federer has as many slams as ....
Good day one and all
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.

Re: Federer has as many slams as ....
Thanks Tenez.
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

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:

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...

Re: Federer has as many slams as ....
Why on earth are you attacking LF here
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

LF is a she, so please stop insulting her by changing her gender for no reason. I'm happy you are defending her again as I was going to ask you to please do so on another thread but then felt it was not needed as not relevant to that particular thread and as I knew you would do it anyways!

Plus, I am sure I understood HER post with the various examples more than you have and ever will... You can PM her and check what she meant by it...

If you weren't constantly launching ridiculous snide attacks on LF, I would have had to say anything.sphairistike wrote:LF is a she, so please stop insulting her by changing her gender for no reason.

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...

Re: Federer has as many slams as ....
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.

If you thought it was irrelevant you could have ignored it.

Instead I decided to not ignore it and argue on why it is irrelevant!

Take it easy Amri and SpHair. 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.

He has done quite a bit of daring baring in his heyday or hay-days.

Absolutely bottom-of-the-pits. What a waste to threaten another human being.

“Blue Cat Polytheistic Religion Founder 07”, That made me laugh! Magic mushrooms! I swear I'll try some before I die.
“On October 6, I plan to assassinate Federer for the purpose of tennis extermination.” Well who could that be? Catalan Power?
