So I just saw a facebook group called "Roger Federer is a boring, bland robot" and I instantly thought of netizens complaining about korean pros being boring macrobots. Then I slapped myself.
Oh also I was talking to someone earlier tonight and they were saying "I got As in this blah blah blah and I was B-/C+ in english". If you are on this website you should know what I thought during that last comment.
Anyone else had these experiences?

Love it!!!

It's only boring because every single match that's hyped with him in it turn into him just smashed and pissed all over his opponent.

Yeah, I think if I were to compare Roger with someone from the Starcraft scene it would have to be Savior. He may not be the flashiest player, but you can content yourself in knowing that what he's doing is near close to perfection.

bonjwa is not the definition for someone who just hit 16 grand slams!
he is maybe the ULTRA bonjwa? or the owner of the bonjwa clan?
|
you fools, bonjwa is what you get when you type federer's name on korean keyboard.

not like sampras or borg were any better. Plus it's fun to watch an all-time great playing the game. Dominance is something to look back on and say 'I was there to watch the GOAT" like people who watched Ali.

Somehow, I always make that comparison myself.

A few years ago I was explaining the importance of watching Savior finals to a friend who watches tennis but doesn't play bw and I explained him in those terms. You don't need to love the game to appreciate technical finesse. We watched the finals and it was awesome.

Hes baaaarely comparable to anyone in sc... since 2004, he's won 15/25 grandslams, been in the finals of all but 4 of those, and has a grandslam match record of (post 2003) 156-10... thats 94% winrate. over more than 6 years, and judging by this aus open, he doesnt appear to be slowing down any time soon either...
I guess if you combine boxer, nada, savior and iloveoov and prentended they were all the same person (switching back and forth during the different peaks), you might get close to just how much federer dominates tennis right now?

"Federer won an all-time record 124 consecutive matches against players ranked outside of the Top 5 in Grand Slam tournaments (2004 Wimbledon - 2009 US Open). This streak came to an end against Juan Martin Del Potro, ranked #6 at the time, in the 2009 US Open finals. Del Potro was ranked #5 in the world by the end of the tournament."
When he loses, what he barely does, it's only against S-Class players. He's never sloppy, that's so insane. I play tennis myself and even tho I watched the starcraft proscene since the boxer era there was never a progamer who amazed me as much as Federer. Maybe Flash comes close in the term of perfection in some of his games, but when Federer plays, it's like every fucking time and that since a ridiculous long time
|
It's so impressive that he's able to dominate on such a technical level.

oov dominated both longer and harder

??? federer has been dominating for almost as long as SC has been around... well not rly but he won his first slam in 03?
and the year after his first slam he won 3 slams?
|
I think the imperfect information factor makes it harder to achieve bonjwa status in Starcraft. In Tennis, Federer can see everything that is going on and have almost perfect control of the game. Starcraft is more complicated in that there are build risks you can take.
|
How is Federer a robot? Unfair. He is so artsy fartsy.

does this turn Jaedong into Nadal? (plz not : ( )

about the OP, the nice thing about playing too much iccup is that when your grades start to go down, it doesn't seem so bad. c's are ok, b is quite good, a is out of reach so don't bother
|
not all the Federer hyped matches turn out to be one sided ownages...
Federer vs Nadal Wimbeldon 08 might have been the best tennis match ever played... and Federer vs Roddick Wimbeldon 09 was also amazing to watch.
Murray just got steamrolled yesterday though
|
I wonder if Federer would be pro at scv Tennis.
|
if federer is not flashy, who is a flashy tennis player?
|
Federer is the Flash of tennis. SUPER good but kinda boring at times.

Federer's playstyle is absolutely a work of art. Some of the shots he creates, simply magical.

I always compare Federer's performance under pressure to JDs. I mean put them in BO5s and they just eat you alive. They make comebacks when people thought not possible and they just never seem to break under pressure.
|
He can't be Bonjwa when Nadal beats him regularly.

Yeah his mental strength is off the charts, its like every time he serves to stay alive in sets he will bring out Aces. My favorite example of his mental strength is in the Wimbledon finals 07 I think it is where he went into the 5th set vs Nadal and had not done a break of Nadals serving game since the first set and he even had the Hawkeye screw him over in the 4th set when it called a ball that was obviously out in losing the 4th set 2-6. With everything going against him he comes back in the 5th set and demolish Nadal 6-2. Its not my favorite because it was a crazy comeback, but simply because everything seemed to be going wrong for him in the 4th set and he looked like he would never break Nadals serve again, despite all this he came back with vengeance in set 5.

Did oov lose the last 6/7 of the matches that he met up with the #2 during his dominant era?
|
Why can't he be bonjwa? Savior loses to FBH all the time and he's the guy who INVENTED bonjwa. FBH is much worse than the second best player during Savior's era. Bonjwa isn't no bad H2Hs to a singular player, it's sustained dominance over an entire field. Besides, with the way Nadal's been playing, Federer hasn't had the chance to even up the h2h.
|
If Roger is boring... who is exciting??? Federer is the most versatile player ever to play the game.
and his consistancy is out of this world. yea yea nadal had him for a short time, but where is Nadal now? Federer doesn't have to even up h2h to be the greatest player ever.

Through Gillette and ITV, he went a combined 3-8 against July. pretty close

Ferderer is the G.O.A.T with this win over Murray he's solidified his place as #1 in the world Rafa, Del Potro, nobody can touch him

Roger is the GOAT of tennis. The records he's setting is...ludicrous. Unbelievable, spectacular. As a competitive tennis player, watching Roger in Grand Slams is simply inspiring.
I don't want to compare him to a Starcraft player. (As much as I love SC)
