Do they get to keep the trophy? I thought they just get a small replica because that sucks. People in football, f1 and the nba get to keep the trophy's why not in tennis.

Do they get to keep it?

 

[zero_suit]

we want him to retire at the top lol maybe after #20

Not gonna happen

 

[Cloudy]

He's not just good he's the #1 player in the world. LOLOLOL

Seriously. He should play as long as he's competitive. Doesn't matter if he doesn't have a fairytale exit lol

 

[Ravensmash]

I dunno, in my eyes Federer comes across as a genuinely nice guy and an extremely humble champion.

 

[Zaph]

Why do people want Fed to retire? He's still good

Maybe it's the Schumacher effect? Has won so much you just want everyone else to have a chance..?

 

[Willkiller]

YES

NO

 

[Timbuktu]

i truly believe that this will be his last. start it and end it in wimbledon. an olympic gold would be the icing on his huge cake.

i always said he had one more in him and this was it.

When exactly does he overtake sampras with weeks as no. 1?

 

[Diprosalic]

Why do people want Fed to retire? He's still good

understatement of the year. he's not good he's the best.

 

[Harry Potter]

My feed needs to stop fucking up when Kate is on screen.

 

[Wes]

Super glad I have tickets for the Olympics tennis now. Going to be fascinating.

 

[darkwing]

Not gonna happen

#18 then :|

 

[tycoonheart]

When exactly does he overtake sampras with weeks as no. 1?

If he remains #1 for 2 more weeks I think.

 

[Heart Attack]

Federer is no coward (Sampras), he knows he can still compete and win another.

 

[Keyser Soze]

NO

YES!!

 

[Damo Yoshi]

Maybe it's the Schumacher effect? Has won so much you just want everyone else to have a chance..?

Reading this thread, definitely not. =P

Olympic Gold Gentlemen.

 

[Diprosalic]

When exactly does he overtake sampras with weeks as no. 1?

tomorrow he will equalize it and overtake it the next one.

 

[killer_clank]

well, see you all in 2 weeks tennis GAF

 

[Tea and Toast]

Well that was emotional!

 

[jett]

What would the rankings have looked like if Murray had won?

1.-Djoker
2.-Federer
3.-Nadal
4.-Murray

 

[Remyzero]

Murray put up a good fight. It is very hard to dictate play if Federer is just in the zone.

 

[Cloudy]

understatement of the year. he's not good he's the best.

I think Djokovich at his best is the best right now

 

[travisbickle]

Can't help but feel that fed's comments are a bit snide in some way after those compilations.

I think people read too much into what sport stars say, I feel that way also about people who say they hate Murray's 'personality'...he's a tennis player not a tv show host.

 

[Akito]

Pic of the day, love that his kid's on the display

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

If he remains #1 for 2 more weeks I think.

which obviously will happen. so he has the record.

 

[Willkiller]

YES!!

I'll fight you for Kate's honour!

 

[Vanillalite]

Has Olympic Tennis ever been this anticipated?!?!?!

 

[zero_suit]

Reading this thread, definitely not. =P

Olympic Gold Gentlemen.

Yup, Nadal could get his second, and Djoker could get his first!

 

[Oxx]

Super glad I have tickets for the Olympics tennis now. Going to be fascinating.

High-five.

I have been watching Wimbledon hoping nobody got injured for the Olympics .

 

[RedAssedApe]

When exactly does he overtake sampras with weeks as no. 1?

In one week or two?

 

[AceOcelot]

YES!!

Eh.






Nah.

 

[Diprosalic]

I think Djokovich at his best is the best right now

the rankings don't lie.

shot of the tournament

 

[Xun]

get out

Calling him a dick was a bit too much, but anyone who comes out in a white/gold jacket has too big of an ego in my books.

If you're going to insult someone, you should probably get the spelling right.

Ha, I should. My mistake.

To be fair, out of the top who isn't?

True, I guess they all are.

I hope today is the worst day of your life =)

Ha, not at all.

Anyway, it was exciting to watch, and a good game played by both.

 

[Betta Lines]

My feed needs to stop fucking up when Kate is on screen.

Her face demands a better bitrate. Your feed simply isn't delivering.

 

[killer_clank]

Has Olympic Tennis ever been this anticipated?!?!?!

no, but it's at wimbledon this year. insantly makes it feel much bigger.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Eh.






Nah.

Yes x Infinity

 

[MIMIC]

the rankings don't lie.

What about the WTA rankings?

 

[Suairyu]

tomorrow he will equalize it and overtake it the next one.

which is incredible considering Fed has had more competition to overcome than Sampras ever had.

 

[darkwing]

is there a Sampras record Fed hasn't broken?

 

[bionic77]

Does the winner get Pippa and Kate?

They both looked like that was the case...

 

[tycoonheart]

which is incredible considering Fed has had more competition to overcome than Sampras ever had.

Haha... WHAT?!?!

Thats hilarious considering talent was non-existent before Rafa and Novak showed up.

I've made this comment before, and I'll say it again... talents like Murray, Del Po and Tsonga were dime a dozen during Sampras' career.

 

[zero_suit]

is there a Sampras record Fed hasn't broken?

6 consecutive year-end #1s.

 

[MIMIC]

is there a Sampras record Fed hasn't broken?

Years ending as the No. 1 player

 

[Diprosalic]

What about the WTA rankings?

WTA doesn't count.

all of the top players were healthy, played the same amount of tournaments and won a slam.

federer finished last year and started this year better than the others. USO will decide who gets to keep it for the year.

 

[zero_suit]

Indeed

Fuckin Roddick and Hewitt

 

[Keyser Soze]

Good Let it Be montage.

I hope BBC pulls out more cool stuff for the Olympics

 

[clemenx]

Rafa showed up at 17yo, and spent a million years at #2


Also fucking Roger. Hewitt and A-Rod will be forever underrated thanks to him.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Congrats to Federer, I'm a Murray fan foremost but Federer is incredible.

I love sport so much, it's so much more than just a game. Amazing pictures at the end there which sum up two such contrasting stories.

I really don't know if Murray will get his slam but I sure hope he does. He deserves one and gets a ridiculous amount of shit in this country when he is one of our most outstanding sportsmen.

Amazing

 

[killer_clank]

the bbc promo's for the olympics are awesome as fuck.
