ATP/WTA 2018: The Year of the Dimitrov - Page 16 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Fed tried to choke it away but Berdych wouldn't let him. It really is amazing the difference between players who rise up in the big points and the ones who just collapse.

And the crowd is always with him. I've seen matches where the crowd cheers when his opponent double faults. If the crowd did that to Fed he'd tilt much more often.

I will be interested to see how the crowds deal with Fed vs Chung Hyeon. That guy is so lovable.

Beautiful. That first set was way to close for my liking.

What would be a greater accomplishment, Fed winning a grand slam at 36 or Brady winning a Superbowl at 40? This feels like a future First Take/Undisputed topic.

Lots of jealous haters itt with the notable exception of my main man kingweed. Embrace the GOAT. In the near future when he is no longer GOATing you'll wish you had.

Tennys is too thin-skinned for tennis.

If he gets antsy because people have opinions on his tweets, wait until something on the court doesn't go his way and he has a temper tantrum in front of whatever crowd will go to watch him lose.

We will miss the GOAT when he’s gone

Interesting Q, seems pretty close. Both are ancient, both have the most titles in their sports.

Brady would pass Manning (39) to become the oldest QB to ever win a SB. Fed would stay 2nd oldest even with a win here, since Rosewall won at 37 (although that was lol 1972, not long after the Open Era started). Seems like that would be a minor point in Brady's favor.

However, individual sport vs team sport would be a point in Fed's favor, since he is solely reliant on his own aging body, while QB's are protected and helped by far younger teammates. I'm not sure if anyone would feel strongly either way, although I'm sure First Take would make it seem that way.

Clearly Federer for the sole reason that you don't have team mates helping you in tennis.

Imagine how many wins Fed would have if Belichick were his coach.

Or he worked on that back hand years ago rather than just slicing.

SABR is pretty great too and shows his class.

Just seen his pressor, what an absolute moron. Who ever advised him to do that must be pissing themselves laughing.
