Why Federer lost today

[Conqueror]

He lost on purpose knowing he would meet Del Potro in the finals.
Federer is no longer interested in tourneys he has no shot at winning.
Federer will probably wait for the grass season to take a shot at Wimbledon, knowing the French Open has been secretly awarded to Nadal.

[DavidGoliath5003]

Hes got #1 seed on lock down.... nadal injured, no djokovic, no anyone really... he might even play Rolland Garos if Nadal is still injured

No need to go to a 3rd set breaker to do that.

That's what makes it less obvious.

Kokinakkis is a good player regardless. Always capable of a shocking upset. As are most youngins these days with loads of skill. Liable to show up in some spots. And he did.

[DavidGoliath5003]

Kokkinakis always had the skill.... injuries has literally set him back 3-4 years, he should be up thier with Kyrgios. Federer is strictly just in in for the Slams now.. he only needs the master 1000 prior to any slams. Start keeping an eye on this, i doubt he will be participating in many back to back tournaments from here on out unless its grass

Federer NEVER loses on purpose, you can’t be that dumb IF you follow tennis closely.

Let's get over this.
Some of us try to keep this forum busy sometimes with sarcastic posts like this one. The Fed is a hard worker. All I have for him is respect .
He's not a "fixer". He has no reasons to do that - especially at this point in his legendary carrier.
He brought it all to the court but Kokkinakis upended him.
See you next time folks.

All have tanked at some point though, thats a given, some tank many times a year. Ive seen Nadal and Nole tank before and Fed, all of them. Ive even seen Fed try to tank in a match a few years ago but Tsonga wanted to go home that day more, Fed was mad and let Tsonga know by the faces he made at him. Fed just said screw it and went ahead and won the match. This was a clay court match a few years ago, if you watch it youll see exactly what Im talking about.

Yeah federer is scared of Del Potro
That's why the tennis forum here is worthless.
People lose a bet and act accordingly and rant dumb shit like this.
Federer played shitty against Delpo, Delpo played amazing. Federer still lost 4 or 5 match points in it. He should have won.
The Kokk when serving well is going to be tough to break for anyone. Federer only got broke once during the match and it came down to one point in the tiebreaker.
Everyone always gets amped up and gives their best to play Feds. Feds can't get himself amped up to play them, and that's how you have an upset like this one. That's how shitty players can beat a good player on any given day.
If you've ever played any sport you will understand this.
Federer isn't going to go 50-0 during the season. Quit your whining when you lose a bet and move on to the next one without embarrassing yourself.
