@MaratSafinVideos I do agree that there is too much pushing nowadays. Playing at the baseline is ok to a certain extent. But things are getting out of hand this year. We've had so many slugfest matches this year. And if you see rallies like this /watch?v=N8iunyDh4ms you know something is wrong. And congrats to Marat BTW!

@Rafathaman94 Simon had very considerable injuries in 2009 and 2010 with his knee and it's not easy to regain form when you rely so heavily on movement. Well, the whole tour is rather boring in this day and age with homogenized surfacing and what not and Simon is actually one of the few players, whom when up against tricky opponents, can play with variation and intelligence, however he is certainly prone to pushing but who isn't these days?

@MaratSafinVideos I was exaggerating about him being the biggest fluke ever, but I still consider him a fluke. He's done very little since 2008. Sure he pushed fed in the Australian Open, but he's done almost nothing to back that up. I've been following tennis since 2005 and Simon's one of the most boring players I've ever seen. He's almost weaponless.

@Rafathaman94 Then you'd have to define fluke, too, because Simon's beaten Federer twice and almost had him beat at the Australian Open. You've obviously not been watching tennis for very long if you think Simon is the biggest flash in the pan ever.

@MaratSafinVideos Flash meaning fluke.
-
@Rafathaman94 Define flash.

@hattrickster33 Real tennis fans easily remember who has won such tournaments 10 years ago. And it's 'couldn't care less' by the way.

Well, Fed was just coming off the loss to Rafa at Wimbledon, and yeah, his forehand was REALLY off that night. Not that you can really tell from the highlights, but since i was there, after Gilles won the second set, the crowd totally wanted him to win. Amazing upset.

Boy Federer really stunk up the place with his play.

Well Simon won the match..Just accept it! Federer is amazing and everything but Geez give simon a little credit.."oh federer beat himself: "oh no one is gonna remember this" blah blah...This is madness!
