This is why I rarely watch him live anymore.

Few easy matches. He frequently makes matches closer than they need to be. Incredible that he is No. 1 despite this.

Glad I’m not watching this.

Great! I look forward to you defending me (as I’ve done for you and others here in the past) if I’m personally attacked by fedexal.

I certainly don’t mind my tennis views being challenged in good faith, but I […]

I’ll stop right now (until he personally attacks me again which is what started it all).

I predicted that Rafa would lose his first set in the tournament, most likely the first set.

Congrats to Me! Right again!

Fedexol is a homophobic troll. So happy he’s “ignoring” me as he “promised”. (Be even […]

Federer. He’s a very stable genius.

homophobes usually take being called out as one “as a complement”.

(As for “TROLLING”, look in the mirror. If there’s one thing worse than a “TROLL”, it’s a hypocritical homophobic “TROLL”).

Such a sadfan.

I’d be furious.

As it is, I’m very disappointed in Lahyani and the tournament director who should have stepped it.

It’s not about Kyrgios. (Kyrgios was illegally tanking but that only led to the issue.)

(I’m not even sure if a player CAN protest a match.)

At the very least, Herbert should have asked for the tournament […]

He should have asked, “What would you have done in Herbert’s shoes?” (which I think is what he was looking for – or at least should have been).

However, with the long pause after his dismissively curt reply “It […]

You never know for sure with Kyrgios, that’s true.

But in BO5, I can’t see Kyrgios having the attention span to deal with Federer and the crowd TBH. He almost did in Miami losing B03 (all tiebreaks 7-6 (11-9), […]

Completely agree amy!

(except for that very last part)

#FedererWillWin

Respectfully, awareness is not a requirement for hypocrisy and seldom exists when it happens. It was very hypocritical IMO.

Kyrgios broke a rule (as he often does) by tanking which is against the rules. […]

Joel Drucker’s fawning piece here…

Joel Drucker soft pedals Federer’s condescending response by actually MISQUOTING both the reporter and Federer:
Q. What do you mean?
ROGER FEDERER: You think it’s going to […]

If you watch his post match interview around the Lahyani event if it happens in the next round, Federer was abrupt and condescending.

His three-word dismissive answer is “It won’t happen.”

When the […]

Exactly. Lahyani went too far (well beyond what he usually does).

I agree with Cheryl’s statement.

On a related note, Kyrgios broke a rule. Layhani failed while doing his job of enforcing the rules.

MA, yes thank you for those words and I’m very grateful to learn from the information that you provide.

Well, I absolutely CAN compare it to a coaching violation, in the right context – i.e., not blaming Kyrgios other than his lack of professionalism but, instead, blaming Layhani’s lack of professionalism and sheer […]

Kyrgios also tanked the 2nd set in his first match.

Re outrage, I’m not sure this relates to playing Federer as even I’m pretty shocked with how far he went. That’s a pretty slippery slope and what he did was […]

Rafa to surrender his first set this week. Probably the first set.
