Going For Broke - by Wide Load

Can Roger Federer just be nice and LOSE for once?

January 25th 2007 10:22
Federer/Source: The Age
Why can't Roger Federer just pike and throw away a match? He's earned enough money as it is for someone his age (over $28 million) and just wins all the time.


Can he NOT WIN this year? Can't he just throw away an easy shot and let someone else from some poor remote island country that we never heard of win a grand slam? Or maybe even let Lleyton Hewitt add to his ego and let him win and let sport commentators have a field day with that one.

I know it's too much to ask but I'm getting a little sick of this. Federer can't be human if he keeps winning all the time. Great guy and all, needs a bit of a haircut, but LOSE FOR ONCE DAMMIT.

He did lose once to ruddick a while ago in some no-name comp.

You seem to be forgetting something, he's making history, aren't you happy to see him? I mena, good for him, just wiping out the competition, you don't get someone like him very often, be glad it was in your lifetime.


His tennis is bloody entertaining, that is all that counts to me in the end. Not about who wins, but about how fun it is to watch.

But yeah, I was dissapointed in the way he completely OBLIBETRATED Andy, and by oblibetrated I mean I need to go look in a dictionary to see if that is how it is spelled out

Who gives a shit about Federer!

Honestly, he looks like a wog, he has forearms like pencils, and cries when he wins a game of fuckin tennis!
I mean tennis players should pay to play and not play to get paid.

Tennis is a joke of a sport.

Yes when i was a kid.
Tennis is a pussy sport.

They are built like starving kids in africa.
THey should not get a cent! a total sellout sport.

How many people would be playing tennis if there was no money in it?

And how many people would be playing ANY OTHER SPORT if there was no money in it?

When you were a kid? Well that explains it all, looks like you got a boo boo back then and now you just won't drop it.

Tennis is a great sport, it really pushes you physically and emotionally, I'm surprised people like Federer can keep it cool so long, given how much stress playing it is.

Also back to the first post (I thought you were joking, now I think you were serious), so what if he 'looks like a wog'? He isn't Australian, and his looks don't really have much to do with anything.

Don't get me wrong Ahmed, Federer is bloody awesome but winning and winning and winning all the time just bores me a little. Him winning all four grand slams is cool, then he kept winning and it just got a little tedious. Then there's the unrelenting pressure on him after every game to perform better than the last, being the defending champion of every grand slam puts pressure on him to win them again.

For the pain and emotion involved in the game, the money is sure worth it and I'm sure he does do a bit for charity with his earnings as well. But yeah, he was defeated by Andy at the Medibank International before the Open and in return Roger masscred Andy last night (much more worse than Nadal but Nadal got his ass kicked by a number 10 seed when he was the number 2), so that was quite an easy match to win.

Poor Andy, that 6-0 in the second set would've hurt a lot.

Ahmed, Theres a lot of people who play amateur sports who really know the word "Sacrifice"
They dont get 1 red cent and usually have to sell stuff or abandon other goals to become sporting champions.
Those are the true hero's who really put everything on the line.
If tennis was an amateur sport i can guarantee you there would be not one person on the planet who would have heard of Federer!!

What are you talking about anon? Every sport recquires sacrifice, the more you sacrifice for it the better youwill be at it.

Of course if tennis was just a novelty sport no one would know Federer, he wouldn't be playing it professionally

Tennis dosen't require real sacrifice!
What practicing a few hours a day yeah thats just brutal isnt it!

Try giving up family, friends and selling everything u own just to make ends meet and been a champion and not having anyone care.

Those are champions my friend not some skinny looking wog with a block for a nose!!

Federer = sellout

Comment by Ahmed

January 28th 2007 02:28
umm, so should Federer sell his mother and father to make ends meet? That would make you happy?

Of course Tennis is like any other sport, practice a few hours a day and get better at it

All im saying is that if tennis was an amateur sport where he had to work hard to survive as well as train i doubt he would be sticking around!

And if he trains so hard then why is he built like some starving kid in africa.
I could clean the drains in my shower with his arms!

and all I'm saying is that can be applied to every sport on the planet. I doubt he would too, he'd go for something that would bring home the bread and butter.

He just is, it's his physique, look at other players like Nadal, I guess it reflects their palying styles.

Needless to say you'd be hard pressed to serve at 210 km/h on a tennis court, much less get a tennis ball to reach that speed.

Well Ahmed u got to realise that federer isnt a true champion.
Tennis players should not get 1 red cent.
The better your physique the tougher the sport.
Tennis is too soft to be even considered a womens sport.

If federer is so great why does he look like a wog?
A disgrace to switzerland i think.

If he had a full time job as well as training for tennis id like to see how good he would be then.
Research some real champions my friend

Research some real champions?

Well the definition of champion is:

1. One that wins first place or first prize in a competition.
2. One that is clearly superior or has the attributes of a winner: a champion at teaching.
3. An ardent defender or supporter of a cause or another person: a champion of the homeless.
4. One who fights; a warrior.

He really goes for number 2, even in the world of tennis that you claim to be a soft sport.

How about we also look at the definition of racist while were at it?

1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

So because he looks like a 'wog' he clearly is inferior somehow and the nation he's from should be ashamed?


Tennis is like all other sports, it isn't just brute force, it is also about elegence and stamina, if you realy truly think tennis players are weaklings I encourage you to try running around on a tennis court for three or four hours with 10 second breaks every minute. See how well you hold up.

wogs are gypsies so yes he should be devastated as well as switzerland.

If he works so hard physically then why does he look like a twig?

If you're so good m8 why don't you just go and beat Federer?

Or did the evil wog tooth fair send down a curse upon you that has rendered your arms twig sized and made your mouth the size of a hippo's.

Anonymous you are a moron. Because i mean baseball is more of a sport then tennis right? hlaf the time you sit on your ass waiting to stand on home plate to hit a ball, the other half you are waiting for a ball to be hit to you. duiring football a play is literally 10 seconds long, then you wait another 45 seconds to play then there are half times which give them even more of a break.
tennis is a sport were you cant be fat and lazy like most of the baseball players nowadays, you actually have to work in tennis. you dont sit on a bench for most of the match and you dont get half times like in football. and all football is is brawn you could be a complete dumbass and still play football. catch the football, hit the person with the football those are the only things you really need to know. tenis matches can last up to 5 hours. tennis actualy takes talent. you could probably put a tennis player in any sport and he will succeed. if you put a football player or baseball player in tennis they will fail. Anonymous you make me sick, if tennis is a pussy sport what sport out there isnt a pussy sport.
and in football there are different positions such as defense and special teams so that means the get to sit on their ass waiting to be there coaches little bitch for the next play.
