Seriously, try to think of a more painful loss. Off the top of my head, the Coria-Gaudio french open final is the only thing that seems in the same ballpark.
He may still have a shot at 2020W...Probably.
Coria was 2 sets up, and then totally crumbled. But he still had years to make it up for, and he wasn't playing for historical GOAT.
If Fed won that, he enters history with the most insane records at a time where Rafa and Novak are on his wheels.
It was a most unfortunate choke at the most unfortunate place and time.
The mother of all chokes, perhaps.
Never to be redeemed, unfortunately again, because he will be almost 39 by the next W final.
I doubt he's winning another slam, if not AO 2020.He may still have a shot at 2020W...
every year ppl say "Fed will be too old for another slam run next year"...and then Fed keeps making Wimbledon proving those speculations wrong.
But yeh the outcome of 40-15 is still a two-slam swing.
Could've been 21-19-15,
now it's 20-19-16, with Nadal surpassing Fed almost a lock
Quite the irony.Karma is a bitch so they will get their portion of misery in due time.
Yep. That backfired badly. On the other hand being too modest is not a good idea either.Quite the irony.
Remember Fed's finger wag to Nole at RG 2011 ?
Well...
Hasn't worked too bad for Rafa, no ?..Yep. That backfired badly. On the other hand being too modest is not a good idea either.
I think his 'modesty' is fake. There's a swindler behind that mask. It's obvious when you check how he reacts when losing to much lower ranked players like Kyrgios or Rosol.Hasn't worked too bad for Rafa, no ?..
He wasn't beating Nadal in the final.Why not USO11?
He was UN BEA TA BLE on clay in those times, let me remind you ladies and gentlemen. And he was two sets up. And a bagel. And two matchpoints. Against a more or less mug in comparison to Coria. And he felt down like a cut tree.Look
If you had
One shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?
Heh, that's a great song. Thanks for reminding me of it.Coria
