If a lesser player is going to beat a top player, especially in a slam, an early round match is usually the time to do it.

Are you comparing top 20 19-years-old Federer with Rosol, a 27 years-old player outside top 50? |

Re: Federer on surface homogenisation
Please quicken the courts for Donald, Federer & other servebots.
Ever since 2005, they were robbed by bad number 1 players.  |

Roddick is the only number 1 in history who couldn't beat top 10 opponents in Olympics & Davis Cup ties.
Roddick & Hewitt never beat the top 2 seeds in Slams.
Djoker, Nadal, Murray, Ferrer & Del Potro beat top 2 players in Slams.
Djoker beat all top 3 seeds in a Masters Series event.
Federer never did.

I'm sure he wishes he could beat himself to get such a record

I think posts like this should be a banable offence.
I'm sure I'm at least 2% stupider for having read it.

Re: Federer on surface homogenisation
Fed'll never beat two guys, let alone 3 top 3 players. when he falls off his typical transition top 3 ranking, he will again lose to random top 10 journeymen (unless the top players couldn't care less like in Madrid, Wimbledon & WTF).
It's not like he had much trouble maintaining his top 3 ranking versus Hewitt, Nalbandian, Roddick, Baghdatis & Safin 7 years ago.  |

What do you call the World Tour finals? Oh wait, must be a joke since Federer has won it. Wait, Djokovic has won it twice. What a fucking anomaly but of course failya going to make exceptions to everything in the book. Please right on cue my dog, come back with more excuses.
