Happy 33rd Birthday Roger Federer!

These two haven’t played in almost two years and that was on a very fast and low bouncing indoor surface. In that match, Federer broke once in the first, and the second set went to a tie-break.

Ferrer’s game has improved significantly since then, the same cannot be said for Federer’s and to be honest, I didn’t think he looked great against Cilic.

Ferrer had is problems with Dodig, but he worked through them, which is usually a good sign that a player’s game is getting back on track. Particularly after an injury. I don’t think fatigue will come into it, because Ferrer is very fit.

I’m guessing it will be a 3 set match, and as such, it’s 50/50 who will win it.

Federer one of the senior active players.

Who is older than him, Haas?… I think he is in the top 10 older on tour:-)

I used to scoff but if I’m honest the world number 3 looks good for the 2016 Olympics at least.
Happy Birthday to old Rog indeed.

Happy Birthday Roger The Best Ever Federer.

My heartiest Happy birthday wishes to Roger. He has turned 33, but he is still playing like 23. It is difficult to believe that he is 33 when you see him on court retrieving those balls with ease, elegance and grace and serving with enormous speed and variety. Most players in tour are envious of Roger about the way he maintains his fitness. They believe that Gods made Roger for Tennis and thereby were a little bit partial towards them. The fact that he has not missed even one Grand slam and has played on a trot is something unbelievable and in a way miraculous. It just goes to show as to how he has managed to maintain his fitness levels in such a competitive sport which is praise worthy. On court, it would appear that he is not trying too hard. But, the way he digs out half volleys with immaculate precision and ease would shame even a young gun. Half volleys are the most difficult shot to execute in Tennis just because you cannot practice them regularly.

Belated Bday wishes to Roger.

The best.

Yeah, Fed sure looked good out there on the courts last night in Toronto. Was impressed with Ferrer’s level too … particularly given hard courts are not his forte. This is Fed’s tournament to win now … only Tsonga if he stays on form might give him a run for it … but If Rog is on he will still get by.
