Federer, a face of sheer smugness you could never tire of beating.

I'm beginning to feel that way too. Trouble is, he's was/is magical to watch.

Rafa

Rafa

I hate watching him, I hate the camera picking out his horrible looking wife complete with her smugness in the crowd, I hate the way he walks, talks and exists. But I do accept and appreciate his brilliance.

I'm with you and want to add that I hate his squashed rubber face an lack of sweatiness

[Pablo]

We've had this debate on here before I think . I also find him way too smug and he can be very condescending too.

[Scratch]

Whereas I think he's ace and doesn't come across as smug at all...but I do find the fact that he doesn't appear to sweat a considerable annoyance, but that's just mean being jealous cos I only have to think about something hot to get a sweat on.

[Shaggy]

Djokovic doesn't sweat either

Well put, I agree

Sure if he does it, he does it, but I'm rooting against him because Federer is the greatest of all time and Nadal getting 18 by winning the French Open 11 times just wouldn't look right to me. The thought irritates me.

If he gets 18 he's the best of all time.

Let's not forget Federer has won 7 Wimbledon titles and only 1 French.

[RichC]

Yep I'm rooting for Rafa against Fed.

Rare I say this with Rafa with anyone but Djok but he's the underdog for this, Federer is playing some amazing tennis at the moment.

Oh and for any doubt about how good he is.

22-10 vs Federer.
22-17 vs Djokovic
15-5 vs Murray

[Fredo]

Federer's working with Edberg now I think?

[JohnDoe]

No, he's not.

Federer dominated tennis for 6 years. Nadal had one year as the clear cut best player in the tour (2010).

Intriguing.

Its certainly an interesting discussion point and right now Federer is clear as the greatest.
