spectacularMiryam (U8931965) posted Jul 9, 2007 I have come to comment of the patent unfairness of the officials at Wimbeldon refusing to give all the men an equal chance at the title. I do not think Roger Federer won at the all England Club this past Sunday with his week of rest. He should have had to play just as many matches on consecutive days as the rest of the guys. The other men including Nadal had to play so much tennis that by the end the body was breaking down tendanidous meant that he could not in the end utilise the full force of his body. The all England Club would not allow him to have extra day of rest because they saw their profit as more important than human beings stretched to their limit. Yes Roger's trophy and record will say 5 but judging from Rafael's third and fourth sets stretching Roger wide off the base line and playing towards his weaker back hand, Rafa would have won with that extra day of rest. Shame on the all England club for cheating the men's side of their fair opportunities to win.

singerscorpio (U8856296) posted Jun 18, 2008 ...maybe because Federer has certain standards that he wishes to keep - and I hope he does the same again this year 2008 since there is no doubt he will be in the Final again. Federer is not a sheep so sets his own standards by which he lives and does not follow the behaviour of some others I could name. Comment on this article
