Well done Roger, you did not waste energy and i can see your sharpness is not far away. nadline, your hatred for Roger never ceases to amaze me!! Focus on your humble bull Rafa and minimize hate speech against the talented Roger...

So you are moderator now... tennismania.
We saw earlier that you are tennis expert.
Just asking myself... do you know what Rafa wants?
Go and google it... and don't spoiling your own stupidity here...
Pathetic Fedfans are becoming slowly but surely desperate, as their fake idol goes dawn, not only as player but as personality.
LOL!

Great to see the back held up.

21 and counting...

Classy interview by Roger.

http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/news/interviews/2012-01- 16/201201161326713844804.html

Didn't respond in the same tone to nadal's remarks. Didn't fuel the situation.

Class act as always.

Fed not looking very sharp today, shanking some shots. His opponent has a big serve but unfortunately doesn't get many first serves in. As usual Fed relies heavily on his good serving. This is only the first match so not a good indication of how things will unfold.

That's not classy or whatever, he knows the more he feeds the media, the more this will drag on. Do you think he's happy that players complain about him? Likewise, Rafa has refused to say anything more today.

Rafa was also being classy in the past when Fed criticized his game, calling him one dimensional. Rafa did not respond to all these digs at him made by Fed, and was as respectful as ever towards Fed.

Roger is not a "class act as always." He may have been gracious (so far) in this current situation with Rafa, but he is not always classy. Far from it.

Roger the classiest of the top players. One that truly cares for all the players and the game as a whole, a deserving president of the player's council.

He has the injury of an injury of the back clearly. The average speed of a serve is 185..
Although I like Roger, he has declined clearly. It is change of a time.

sory Roger

zare.

LOL. Roger Federer is the 1st place of a favorite player whom a tennis fan chooses for nine consecutive years. Record.
And the sportsmanship prize which ATP players choose is won 7 times. Record. It is a simple fact.


In famous tennis forum. Whose fan being the most troublesome annoying, and questionnaire taken. The 1st place is always a nadal fan. not a fan of Roger or Novak, etc.
And, A disagreeable player questionnaire is taken. Nadal is 1st ranks sometimes. The usual annoying noisiness in which he has it clearly, or doubtful gamesmanship are reasons. and his arrogant fans are also reasons.
This forum is a gathering of Nadal's fanatic fan. just hell

nadal = too noisy annoying always. gamesmanship. Fake time-out. self-centered ego time. excuse injury. always exaggerated appeal of self condition. looks down on Sampras and past players.
and arrogant annoying blind fan most.

shame

Wooooow.... ExFed won over some third rated player and already..
"Roger the classiest of the top players"... one more victory over 200 ranked player and he will be... "Eternal fire"... (quote fleur or sienna) LOL!

zare trolling as usual.

Roger isn't classy because he won the match but because how he handled nadal's whining remarks from his interview with spanish media.

Being classy and "humble" when winning is easy but when one starts losing that's when the true face comes out. Nadal's fake act of humbleness is coming to an end now that he has started declining. The interview is just the start of it.

NBA...
Your Roger won those titles as he like..."behind the close door"...
Complete megalomaniac... EGO like South Africa...
When Fed fan criticize Rafa sportsmanship... it's like comrade Stalyin speaking about human rights.
Sportsmanship rewards to guy who dropped S, F-word on court so many times... throwing bottles like the ball kids are his personal slaves...
I can go on like this for days.... you won't believe anything... so I don't see the point continuing stories like this.
Don't let me disturb you in your blind worshiping :)

bleck...BRAVO...
"Being classy and "humble" when winning is easy but when one starts losing that's when the true face comes out."
THAT IS PERFECT WAY TO DESCRIBE YOUR IDOL.

^^^^ My idol is not nadal. Is Roger Federer.

nadal is arrogant sumg. Even when a kids is a waging-war partner. Shout. Intimidation. Overaction. too noisy annoying. as always.

Or, fake time-out. gamesmanship. always exaggerated appeal of self condition. looks down on Sampras and past players. etc..
and arrogant annoying blind fan most.


Why does Nadal rank of a disagreeable player 1st? consider the reason.

Haha... nice try bleck...
Didn't see such good argument since my 8th bithday...

Roger is not always classy. So far, he's been gracious in this current situation, but that's it. He has made too many nasty remarks and maintains a website that quite frankly he should be ashamed of. I don't hate Roger, but I don't hold him in high esteem either.

Why Nadal rank of a disagreeable player 1st? consider the reason. many tenni fan are dislike nadal.

Nadal said. "Sampras orIvanisevic match. or one between those kind? of players, is not enjoyable. It's not really tennis. it is a few swings of the racquet. For me in the past it was just serve. serve. serve."

arrogant smug.

clay excluded. successive win 0. ? If grass and a? hard are fast. Like Sampras era. Nadal is able to win only? with clay. power of defense and muscles. boring ugly. All the? surface is slow now. SICK.

fake time-out. cheater. gamesmanship. too noisy and annoying. excuse injury.. arrogant annoyimng blind fans.


That why maney tennis fanre dislike nadal.

"Didn't see such good argument since my 8th bithday..."

How old are you? 8?

zare, Are you also a nadal fan besides being a djokovic fan? Or are you simply anti-federer?

Hey Fanfan... Roger Federer is also human. always not perfect. All players are same. OK?
But, Roger is the tennis fan choose the 1st place of a favorite player 9 years. And sportsmanship prize ATP players choose,? 7 times. Records... why? He is always calm manners of fair play fundamentally. criticism to Roger Federer is always exaggerated. many other players always perform what?

smashing racquets always. shout, overaction, too annoying style, haughty arrogant gesture. self-centered time. fake time-out. gamesmanship. cheat act. excuse injury.. etc. These players are always arrogant more

zare = a nadal fan of really arrogant and annoying blind. too EGO.
Before criticizing Roger Federer or other players. A should make Nadal's fault recognize in your head.

Nba... is your stupidity natural, or you had to practice for a years ?
Blind worshippers, sad consuments of PR. :(

Bleck...nice to see that you have listened my advice about trolling, coz you are using it like profesional now... But now I am little tired of yours and nba's rubbish...
Just keep up...

zare. Arrogant blind worshippers nadal's fan. Three months ago that I came here before. lol. keeping going your arrogant rubbish and smug. shame

ROFL!

Seriously bleck, your comments described you idol so aptly! That's all we've been saying about your idol Fed all along, zare is right about that. Fed a good council president? Not when he get criticized by fellow players for not speaking out for them!Come on, you don't need to step on Rafa just to make your Fed looks good, we know what Fed is like, we can see for ourselves.

This tennisnba has been around before and always posts in phony broken english with the same old nasty personal attacks on Rafa and his fans.

Now that is a troll!

I would appreciate it if the moderators would delete these disgusting comments from tennisnba.

I must come to zare's defense. He is a Nole fan who also happens to like Rafa. He is no troll, but does not let Fed fans get away with their cheap shots.

Rafa has been quite respectful of Fed for a long time. He has a right to express his opinions, even if he disagrees with Fed the Almighty. Fed has made a lot of petty comments about Rafa over the years. Rafa has ignored them and expressed his admiration for Fed. Now he has a different opinion. It's not about class, it's about saying what you think.
