CAMELOT FANTASIES

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?

#1Floyd Mayweather $300M|#2Manny Pacquiao $160M|#3Cristiano Ronaldo $80M|#4 Lionel Messi $74.8 M|

#5 Roger Federer $67M


#6 LeBron James $64.8 M | #7 Kevin Durant $54.1 M | #8 Phil Mickelson $50.8 M | #9 Tiger Woods $50.6 M |

#10 Kobe Bryant $50M


Respectfully,
masterclass

That is ridiculous. People are so mean-spirited and unhappy. He's 34, healthy, and enjoying the game that's he's worked all of his life to achieve, and he should just quit so as not to offend their sensibilities. I can't believe people are hating about the #2 player in the world still going strong. Say it isn't so, masterclass, say it isn't so.

My mouth dropped when I read this post. How can anyone not marvel at what he's doing? Wow.
