Federer was not human for years. He isn't unbeatable like he once was but I think saying he needs to retire is a bit extreme. If he enjoys playing still I think he should. He is clearly one of the best 5 players in the world still. No reason he can't make more runs in grand slams. Stakhovsky is a great grass court player. Bad loss for federer because he is federer but these guys now a days are freaks and have made us forget they are human. Literally nadal, djoker, murray and fed almost can be penciled into semis which just never has been the case in tennis history before these guys.

Typed Federer in the search box and this thread came up

Its not the Fed played bad, he played the greatest tennis player of all times.

[Cross]

Centaur should maybe leave talking tennis to people that know a thing or two about the game.

[jjgold]

Federer played well

Many do not know the game like me

Nadal was the issue, Fed beats 95% of players last night

[TheCentaur]

[homie1975]

Fedex loves the game and will not retire anytime soon

[JC1186]

Lmao you bumped a thread of yours where you said Fed should retire. And you do it after he loses in 5 sets in a final to the best player in the world.

You sir are a chump.

Father of 4

Lets see other top guys when they become fathers

[homie1975]

Who's the last guy not named agassi who made a grand slam final on the eve of his 33rd bday? And btw agassi took several years off befire returning so his playbin his early to mid 30s has an asterisk next to it

Summary of the match:

Federer forehand mishit

Federer overhead slam into the net

Federer forehand mishit

Federer overhead slam into the net

Federer double fault or some other choke

**Repeat**

Guy should move to the WTA where crying after matches is more acceptable

Another fukking idiot that knows nothing....

Well you quoted something from over a year ago thinking it was about today's match so what does that make you?

No doubt, that thread was ridiculous, to bring it up now is even more so.

[jjgold]

He still very competitive

The only thing beating the big-time players and finals he always lacked

Still the greatest ever

[matt1216]

That was probably the best I've seen Federer play in the past 3 years.

[homie1975]

That was probably the best I've seen Federer play in the past 3 years.

you mean 2 years.

did you see wimbledon 2012 when Fed took out Joker and Murray?

he played just as well then, maybe better, as those two opponents were > anyone he beat in Wimby 2014

[matt1216]

My bad, I forgot what year it was lol

[jjgold]

There were a lot more breaks of serves which meant there serving was not that great

[homie1975]

The grass is playing much faster the past 3 years just like the old days which helped two big servers beat nadal in 2 of the past 3 years and helped roger for sure

[TheCentaur]

Probably his last ever Grand Slam semi final or higher appearance

[matt1216]

This was his chance, and he blew it

[jjgold]

I think he'll give it one more year and then retire

[sluggy1616]

I think he'll give it one more year and then retire

I think that he will try to hold out for the olympics try to get the gold medal then retire at the end of that year

[jjgold]

He is not winning any gold medals

He is still very good but getting tougher to win as he ages

[FoxMulder]

Federer will retire after his next slam title, I believe that's his intention.If he had won Wimbledon this year, he would have retired already. He says he has 2 years in the tank, but I believe next year will be Federer's last. So Federer haters should get the fireworks ready, retirement is near (emeklilik yakın meşaleleri yakın)

No matter how much physical decline he's suffering, Federer is Michelangelo of tennis, it's going to be a sad sad day when he quits.

[jjgold]

He really is not declining much

Joker lost too yesterday in his prime

Cilic played a monster match..nobody in world was beating him yesterday
