MADAME PRESIDENT

i could beat him in tennis

>Le about to lose to Djokivic for the 10th time in the finals man

GOAT

GOATERER. BTFO'd Nadal and he's about to turn 38. Magic.

Lord Fedr

CABRA

Blue Pilled fanbase.

Yep clearly doping. Our household was just saying he was playing superhuman tennis for most of that match, winning the majority of baseline exchanges at 38 when he couldn't when he was in his prime.

ROIDERER

Rolex

You just know Becker and Mcenroe know it too. Listening to their commentary of Fed at FO and now Wimby, they occasionally throw in a cheeky little hint that's he doping but not so obvious as to get them into trouble. They're former players who were done at 30, they know what's going on.

they're just being salty old farts trying to discredit the GOAT

Yes because some user cunt on Yea Forums knows more than former pro major winners.

Ego addles their judgment

Based

He's better at defending/returning and winning baseline rallies than he ever was in his prime.

You don't have to be a genius to know that's not natural.

Su Majestad

who? I dont follow tennis grandpa, im sorry

Just tennis's version of Lance Armstrong mate.

>He's better at defending/returning and winning baseline rallies than he ever was in his prime.
So he's in his prime now?

>health is simply much better nowadays than in the 80s
>literally all other top 50 tennis players apart from Djokovic and Nadal are absolute shit
Why couldn't he extend his career past he's prime if everyone else is too shit to beat him? Djokovic and Nadal are also in their 30s and are still beating the shit out of everyone else. Serena is almost 40 and is still beating the shit out of everyone else.
this

not like mcenroe's age hit him like a truck because of all the drugs and partying he did or anything.

Well considering his level of tennis now is arguably better than ever, I'd say so.

>s-stop being so good! that's not allowed!!

Ah the whole bullshit about "diet and fitness is better" crap. Apart from a few tennis players, what other sport are people playing longer than ever?

You and most other Fed fans would rather just take the blue pill and live in ignorant bliss, I respect that. Not what I'd do but that's your choice. Good for you.

>cricket
ross taylor is 35 and had the highest odi average over the calendar year at around 80
ms dhoni still one of the best players for a country with about 1 billion cricketers at 37

>eli manning still playing age 38
>tom brady still playing age 41

>Valentino rossi still a top motogp driver at age 40

Ross taylor is shit and dhoni is beyond shit. Youd be better off citing rugby players like victor matfield who played until he was 40. Or Tom Brady since he's actually good

Lol at people naming QB's. They're playing longer cause of rule changes not cause of "medicine" fucking hell Yea Forums. Not one single other position in the sport generally plays longer, just QB's, if you were a fan of the NFL you'd know that.

Kek at naming F1 drivers... you're driving a fucking car....

Yes because football/soccer players have never played well into their 30's before... that's fucking brand new...

Some cunt mentioning Lebron? MJ averaged 20 at 40, sit your ass down.

I'm fine with Roger. However the crowd are really obnoxious. Unless he plays against a hometown hero, 99% of the crowd is always behind him. Maybe 60-70% if he's against the other 2 big 3 with their own set of fans. I was at the US Open a couple years ago, and the crowd was jeering on some poor german jabroni who did nothing wrong.

This gives him an unfair advantage and really stiffle any young upcoming player who play against him. Roger is simultaneously an honorary New Yorker, Londoner, Melbourner, Abu Dhabier, and every other major cities. Respectful audience my ass.

What the other cunt said. QB's playing into their late 30's isn't new, and with them being treat like babies on the field adding several more years isn't hard to fathom. In the future QB's playing into their 40's is going to be commonplace and you'll all like idiots thinking Brady or Brees was anything special.

>ross taylor is shit
he is literally the 5th ranked batsman in the world currently, which is higher than any australian
>dhoni is beyond shit
he's 37 and still playing top level cricket for india

No one gives a fuck about cricket. In the actual sports that matter, you have the occasional athlete playing longer than normal but that happened in the past. It's just something people use when they want an excuse as to why Federer isn't doping, or to give Tom Brady more credit than he deserves. It's literally that simple.

The GOAT

so they're playing longer than they used to and that trend will continue, gotcha.

Yes. But not cause of "diet, fitness, nutrition" and all that BS people peddle. It's cause of rule changes, end of. Jesus Yea Forums is full of retards.

you're mad that fedeGOAT is still the best player in the world even though he's old, you got given examples of old people still being good even though they're past the age when shitters fall off, why are you still upset and not thanking me for clearing up your confusion

None of those older athletes are still playing cause of "diet, nutrition, medicine" and that BS. If they were then how come other athletes of the same sport have played to similar ages in decades past? Was it diet then?

It's only when doing it for the first time is when it's special, and outside of Federer no other sportsman is playing at an older age than ever before. That's just a fact, accept it you dumb Aussie.

Good examples there user.

Felix Auger Aliassime will be winning slams in his 50s

Injury is the only thing from Fed reaching slam finals in his 40's. Can't wait for how much of a mockery this shitshow of a sport becomes when a guy at 42/43 wins slams.

Rosewall played a Wimbledon final at 40, guess he must have been doping too

Meeeeeeeeeh

First, probably.

Second, serve and volley era is much, much less physical than today's baseline grinding.

I mean Fed is 38 and was dominating Nadal from the baseline, in fact he's done that in every match since 2015; but when he was in his "prime" he couldn't? How the fuck has he got better at rallies and baseline exchanges at 35+? Shit's making a mockery of the game.

They're all on it though, so it's a level playing field

>fed is doping
>but nadal is not

this is some bizarro-world shit

He improved his backhand, that was his weaker point by far in his prime years
99% of the time Nadal's gameplan is just hitting the ball at his opponent's backhand

Federer is doping only half as Nadal is, but plays twice the better. Amazing.

>99% of the time Nadal's gameplan is just hitting the ball at his opponent's backhand

ding ding ding
nadal is literally "le heavy topspin to opponent's backhand: the player"

Rogelio Federero

goat in tennis

>cristiano ronaldo still as good as ever at age 34
>can't outscore a literally who 36yo in a farmer's league

You haven’t been watching football during the last year if you think Ronaldo is far ahead of the rest. He’s not even no.2 currently, or top 5.

Lmao yup

Teji#1

He's absolutely obsessed every thread he spazzes out about fed taking roids he's so mad he beat nadal lol

>Kek at naming F1 drivers... you're driving a fucking car....
Are you fucking retarded? Do you have any ide how physically demanding it is to drive a F1 car? They lose aroung 5 kg of weight in water every race, they have to stand incredibly high G forces during hours.

>Yes because football/soccer players have never played well into their 30's before
Strikers and midfielders usually don't or go to fucking qatar or MLS by the time they are 31. Yet we have several stikers well into their 30s still performing at top levels

Goat

Because those salty boomers were constantly doing blow and booze with the complementary hooker in their youth.

LA CABRA

First time being on Yea Forums this event but stay mad.

Fact is, all 3 are most likely doping, but being 38, and moving and playing arguably better than ever is just silly. Any other sport or Olympic event anc people call it out. But in tennis people just sit there in amazment like a bunch of brainwashed bread and circuses ass retards.

GOAT

Lol physically demanding driving a car. Kek.

Yet many of the top drivers are in their 30s.

Shit sport anyway, its just all about the car.

kyrgios is the reddit tennis player of choice

Olympic final in 2012 was Fed off peds and clean.

And got absolutely mauled in 3 easy sets by Murray on his fave surface just after winning Wimbledon.

Kek.

honestly i just think the zoomer tennis players are just bad. even if you dope, tennis is a sport where you still have to be technically sound to succeed

Lol even though the younger gen is inconsistent, why do people expect them to break through?

Fed and Djokovic (and Rafa on clay) are playing some of the best tennis in tge history of the sport. Federer today looked superhuman at times. Asking young players to beat them consistently, dethrone them and overtake them, is asking them to play some of the best, if not even better tennis ever produced in the history of the game.

Just a stupid, unrealistic ask.

FedGOAT

tennis is now fully a pursuit for rich families' sons and daughters, 99% of whom are soft and weak minded, only a psychopathic few succeed

Fucking this, people here act like doping is like a video game level-up. But it can't improve your shot selection, accuracy, placement and so on. You still need technical superiority.

yep i was saying same to my brother today. these guys play tennis at a ridiculously high level that thinking new players can rise to that standard is just being optimistic. all they can do is hope they slow down and decline, which by tge looks of things won't happen for a few years at least.

Strong mind is so important in tennis. Look at how federer behave and never breaks. Look at how autistic Nadal is. And djoko started to win a lot once he fixed his shitty behavior.

El suizANO

Don't compare Olympic events like 100 m dash and shit with tennis. Among all these most popular sports (football, basket, etc.) tennis is by far the most dependent on pure technique and mentality. After that comes the physical aspect.

This In tennis, the difference between elite players and occasional 250 winner journeymen is literally in the mind

Lelbron still drives like a truck into a Parisian market

Gets him to top 4 though
Backhand will always be more difficult to hit

nadal benefited more than any other player from the homogenization and slowing down of every surface relative to days past

>uses PEDs to beat Murray on July
>forgets to use them in August
Based Alzheimerer.

Players dont use them during the Olympics retard. Testing is more strict and they keep samples on file. That 2012 final is still the only time I've ever seen Fed look tired.

Must be a coincidence....

>don't use them during the Olympics

>when he couldn't when he was in his prime.
The majority of their matches were on clay in his prime.

Dude, you're really not winning this argument. You've been given numerous examples and are just searching for excuses at this point. Of course, Federer could be doping, but so could the rest of the ATP.

Kek

>I mean Fed is 38 and was dominating Nadal from the baseline, in fact he's done that in every match since 2015; but when he was in his "prime" he couldn't?
He changed the size of his racquet in 2014. Bigger sweet spot helped his backhand.

So him being mauled in the final after playing for 4 and a half hours in the semi final is compelling evidence to you? I wonder what you'd think if he actually won the final after playing such a long match like Nadal and Djokovic have done multiple times.

Fed dopes like every one else. Deal with it.

If they all dope, who cares?

Integrity cares. Not that Aussies know anything about that.

Literally every sport except baseball and that's only because pitchers are throwing hard enough to blow out their arms more often and position players were kept around even after they started sucking before

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi haven’t dropped off
Lebron
Tom Brady
Many such cases

Oh look, another Korean with a superiority complex

Based Federer

Federer unironically sleeps 10 hours every night and then has a 2 hour nap every single day.

Sleep is the ultimate performance enhancing drug.

>serena williams as good as ever
ppffffffttttttt only adding venus to that list could make it perfect
