Federer should be able to destroy seppi tomorrow.
will somebody go to MTF and fire up my roger Federer thread?
Federer is working hard and paying the dues on the practice and fitness front.
he declared just 3 days ago that he was in top form.
he is putting in the long, hard yards required on the fitness front.
and all the while having 4 kids and a wife at home.
Well general, not quite a destruction, but he took it in straight sets with a tiebreaker set in the 1st, where he won the tiebreaker 7-1.
Still, title #86 and a record 8th Halle title are in the bag. Congrats to him, and condolences to Seppi who did benefit a bit from retirements in the QF and SF to the perennial walking wounded Monfils and Nishikori.
The 100 title thread is seeing action again... people are starting to get really edgy with only 14 to go. A lot of haters saying Federer is vulturing, beating up on weak fields, etc. Others are saying he'll never do it because he will retire next year (how do they know?). Heck the guy is in his 34th year and still going strong at #2 and is taking in more endorsement money ($58M) than anyone in in all sports and 5th overall when adding earnings. Why should he stop unless he injures himself badly?

Respectfully,
masterclass
great post.
he will get his 100 titles.
he has 4 kids at home and a wife.
still he is focused on breaking more records and chasing history.
34 is nothing to him. he works out daily and stretches at least 2 times daily.
he is working diligently to get more and more fit.
Federer will play until he is 43+.
more people should read Camelot general.
this is the no spin zone. here we call it like we see it.
we call it objectively.
