Roger Federer GOAT - Record Breaking 8 Times Championship Winner

That has nothing to do with your Andy Murray lies, coward.

Nadal was injured in 2004 and missed 2 slams

That’s incorrect and fails to clarify your lies on Andy Murray.

It is correct and fails to clarify your lies

Oh I’ve clarified it multiple times. You just seem intent on rehashing a question that has been clarified multiple times in the hope you can avoid addressing your lies about Andy Murray.

You have clarified nothing. All you have done is try to mislead the forum by saying nadals team were protecting him when it is clear he was injured

I have clarified it, multiples times and your own post acknowledges that. It seems you can’t read as well as being unable to count.

You point blank refuse to address your lies on Andy Murray.

No you haven’t you just denied he was injured and made up a story

You can also play tennis without any legs whatsoever, but you’d look very silly taking part in a grand slam

There wasn’t too much wrong with Sir Andy for the muck at Roland Garros in 2013. He could have played but he skipped it or maybe it was his management team that pulled him to protect him. The sole focus at that stage was on the holy grail of ending the 77 year wait stretching back to Fred Perry in 1936. The day after the French Open Final in 2013, Queens began with Sir Andy in the field and 7 days on from the 2013 French Open Final, Sir Andy won at Queens. Two weeks later, Sir Andy ended the 77 year famine with his first Championship win.

More a case of Sir Andy injured for 5 and skipping the French Open in 2013.

Another lie.

I’m only applying your flawed logic. You’re applying one definition of injury to Sir Andy and another to Nadal.

Nadal has missed 8 Grand Slams since debuting at the US Open in 2003. You said he was injured for 6. When I pointed out to you that it was 8, that you omitted the 2004 French Open and Championship which he missed with an ankle stress fracture injury, you adopted an utterly ridiculous and embarrassing stance that a stress fracture wasn’t an injury. It is an injury.

Elite athletes and tennis players in particular are always carrying knocks. Most of the time, they play through them. Federer has been plagued with back problems for a lot of his career, but the warrior in him saw him play 65 consecutive grand slams before succumbing to injury for the first time and missing a Grand Slam at the 2016 French Open.

Sir Andy was playing two days after the 2013 French Open Final at Queens, a tournament he won. He could easily have played through whatever injury smokescreen he put out for skipping the 2013 French Open but he chose not to.

There was a lot less wrong with Sir Andy for the 2013 French Open than an ankle stress fracture in 2004.

You’re telling lies and seem to have bother following your own flawed logic on whether penalty shootouts are lottery competitions.

So everyone is lying except you. Is that it?

It would seem to be the case that I’m the only honest party involved here.

Well there are more that beg to differ and see you as a spoofer.

You’re a fucking eejit if you can’t figure what’s going on in tennis. Calling Federer a coward for not playing the French Open. The French Open/Wimbledon double has been done just 7 times in the near half century of the open era - Rod Laver 1969, Bjorn Borg 1978, 79 & 80, Nadal 2008 & 10 and Federer 2009. All done in prime years.

Whatever chance Federer has of winning the Championship at nearly 37 is all but eliminated if he plays at Roland Garros. Nadal won the Championship twice in his peak years - since then his performances have been abject, losing to the likes of Gilles Muller, Nick Kyrgios, Steve Darcis, Dustin Brown, Lukas Rosol and not making it past Round 4 since 2011.

Nadal and Federer are suddenly winning Grand Slams again because the two players that took over from them, Djokovic and to a lesser extent Murray both broke down to injury at the same time and are both more or less finished. The standard is so shit and there’s nobody coming through so the two old men can start winning again and they’ve carved up the six Grand Slams in 2017 & 18 between them, 3 apiece - having only won 1 of the 12 Grand Slams between them in 2014, 15 & 16.

Nadal is most likely skipping the Championship because he knows he has little to no chance of winning it after subjecting his body to the rigours of a full clay court season if he was to meet a relatively refreshed Federer in the latter stages. Federer and Nadal are actually good friends. Federer did the honours in opening Nadal’s tennis academy in Mallorca in 2016. I wouldn’t be in the least bit surprised if the hatched a gentleman’s agreement as to let the other at it for French and the Championship with the best man to win on the hardcourts - as Federer did when they met in the final in Melbourne in 2017.

A load of waffle.

Federer is a coward.
