The dream is almost dead for Fed.

 

[tycoonheart]

Lets serve this out baby.

 

[massivekettle]

Gulbis for the finishing blow.

#finishhim

[Saty]

Shame.

 

[mcfrank]

Kill me

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

gah the bumbling old fool

 

[massivekettle]

Federer should retire at this point.

 

[greenleaves]

Great match from Gulbis. More time for Roger to look after his twin boys I guess. Roger showed some good form in the fourth set, which I hope he brings to Wimbledon.

 

[Ensirius]

Fed gone. Holy shot.

 

[qindarka]

Pity, but he realistically wasn't going to win the tournament anyway. And spared a match against Berdych,

 

[Milchmann]

Federer just wanted some extra days with his family and for his Wimbledon preparations.

 

[Reyne]

Federer should retire at this point.

Same old talk every time. Fed will retire when he choses to. Losing to an inform Gulbis in 5 set is not such a shame that he should retire because of it.

 

[qindarka]

Federer should retire when he feels like it. It's his career. Nothing will diminish his legacy, of course decline is to be expected past 30.

 

[MIMIC]

Commentators sound puzzled. Gulbis beating Federer in a slam was NID. Some people need to pay the fuck attention.

 

[John Dunbar]

actually hope gulbis wins the tournament now. but we all know who will take it.

 

[Peru]

Fucc Gulbish. He will lose his next match

 

[Saty]

May i remind you he was a point away from 2-0 up, which would have 99% lead to his victory.

Gulbis will be at least the number 13 after the French Open. If Berdych wins against Gulbis in the quarter-finals he will become the new number 4 (no way Ferrer will win against Nadal to prevent that).

If Gulbis wins against Berdych, he will reach the Top10.

 

[Deadman]

Djokovic's path is clear now, 100% guaranteed to win RG.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Djokovic's path is clear now, 100% guaranteed to win RG.

No. Nadal's eight Roland Garros was solidified yesterday with the defeat of Donal Young.

 

[Niraj]

Federer should retire at this point.

V

If he loses the US Open he will definitely retire. But I can't see him going without at least attempting to get 14.

Federer should just retire already before he ruins his legacy any further.

You know what I mean, Fed is on the massive decline right now where he used to be untouchable. Not just losing to Nadal but more and more players scattered throughout the top 10.

People have been saying this for years. That's just from the first 8 pages or so of the general tennis thread searching for "retire." After these posts he won four slams, so who knows what could happen.

"Never in doubt" lol. You're such a card.

 

[Faith]

Djokovic's path is clear now, 100% guaranteed to win RG.

Tsonga and Raonic will be both tough. And a good Berdych/Gulbis in the semifinals will also be tough.

Nadals way to the finals is much easier.

 

[Certinty]

Gulbis finally doing something good in his career.

Someone needs to gif that smash on set point Federer had in the second.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

Joker has the hottest girl.

 

[MIMIC]

I officially don't care if Novak wins today. 1) Because Federer is gone (Lord knows I don't like him, lol) and Gulbis is back in the QFs. Like I said before, I don't expect Novak to win RG anyway. People really underestimate Nadal here.

But people underestimate Gulbis. He's unpredictable and it a supreme talent. People call him a ball basher, and yet had Federer scrambling to unsuccessfully get those drop shots. He has finesse AND power.

Gulbis will further cement his legacy here.

Bullshit

 

[Peru]

Gulbis did not look like a contender

 

[Faith]

Djokovic is gonna destroy Tsonga.

Yea I don't get some of the claims. Yes, he's older. Yes, he's past his prime. Yes, he's slowly fading away, but the key word is slowly. He hasn't flamed out and has remained competitive the past couple years.

He may not take any more majors, but Fed still has another couple solid years of tennis left in him.

 

[MIMIC]

Federer will play into his 40s...or until he physically can't compete anymore. Also, his legacy is defined by his wins, not his defeats.

 

[miserable]

Tsonga is a joke.I hope Nole bagels him.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Tsonga is a joke.I hope Nole bagels him.

Noo don't say that

 

[IISANDERII]

Love Gulbis' attitude, must've been what tennis players were like in the 80's (McEnroe, Lendl, Connors) and not just go flaccid when it counts.

 

[Peru]

Gulbis has routinely gone flaccid at every chance of a real breakthrough before, don't think he will break that proud tradition anytime soon.

 

[lmbotiva]

ohhh dear roger, that time when victories are part of the past is starting to reach you, embrace it and leave the tour, NOLE FTW!

 

[lazybones18]

Fed's out? Welp

 

[Pepiope]

Nole is just toying with Tsonga.

 

[Faith]

Djokovic is gonna destroy Tsonga.

Like I said

6:1 6:4 6:3 xD

 

[Staab]

Jesus, this day turned from potentially awesome to absolute shit.

Fed's match was crap.
Tsonga is playing like shit.

Goddamn.

That's actually a GREAT day.

Not if you like watching good tennis, it ain't...

 

[Deadman]

Djokovic vs Ferrer finals incoming

 

[MIMIC]

WTF is coverage blocked out in my area or something? All I see is a telethon on NBC

 

[John Dunbar]

you should look at the context of the post of mine you quoted.

anyway, i left before djokovic-tsonga and came back during the second last game. looks like i made a good choice.

 

[Faith]

Djokovic looking good to reach finals without any problems.

 

[LuuKyK]

Maria losing to her pigeon. Wtf. -_-

 

[BigJonsson]

Raonic!


I hope he wins a set off Djoko lol

 

[rando14]

lulz Shriekapova such a mental midget
