He won the US Open and the Olympic gold medal.

I'm rusty when it comes to Tennis. So what's the grand slam?

 

[AnfieldEd]

There are four Grand Slams in the Calendar year.

Australian Open in January

French Open in June

Wimbledon in June/July

US Open August/September

Murray won US Open last year.

The Sharapova vs de Brito match was fun. Really enjoyed the screaming.

 

[Ode to Django]

Think Andys been putting something in everyone's tea

I put £10 on del Potro at the start.

Come on, you lanky bastard.

To put it into perspective, this defeat of Federer is the equivalent of Rafa getting knocked out of French Open in the second/third round to a lowly ranked player.

Which will happen when he's ~32 like Federer. It is a miracle that Fed is still in the Top 3 at this age.

Bitter Kneedal fanboys really make me laugh..

Whatever helps you sleep at night

Well, the same Fed won the wimbledon last year and whoever watched the game last night did praised Stakhovsky's performance as RF looked clueless against his tactically beautiful serve and volley play.

Glad Sharapova's out; i may be able to watch a woman's match without the sound muted!

About time an opponent complained about the level of noise these 'screamers' make on court. #spoilsitformostpeople

This tournament is for Djokovic to take. I really hope he racks up another grand slam. Can't stand Murray, Nadal, Del Potro, and a lot of the other players in the top 10 except for the GOAT Federer.

Whatever man..

I'm simply stating that its laughable to see people making fun of Federer who's 32 for crashing out early when Nadal who is 27 and is supposed to be at his peak crashed out even earlier. Yes, I know this is Nadal's least favourite surface, but 5-6 from years from now he will be this bad even on Clay.

It IS quite an achievement that Federer is still in the Top 3 at this age. And anyone that thinks Nadal/Djokovic will be the same 5-6 years from now is delusional.

Federer's in much better shape than Nadal especially with his knees on grass courts. He moves about much better and has always been excellent fitness wise, of course this result is up there with Nadal's shock. Federer has been making the QFs of slams for the last 30 odd times and grass is his best court!

Djokovic will win more slams in his 30s than Federer does, remember this comment! Federer is 31 btw and currently now number 5 in the world!

I don't think that is going to happen, but we'll see..

He will be 32 in 5 weeks, so yeah. And he's actually #3 at the moment. David Ferrer is #4 and Nadal is #5.

Yeah, I feel the same about screaming grunts in Women's Tennis. I simply can't watch it and if anything it's amusing for a few moments. The thing is, i'm sure it's 100% not neccassary, surely they can stop doing it? Anyway, the only womens game i've seen so far is the one Laura Robson won, which was just all about the Tennis and a great game.

In the current live rankings Federer drops two places mate as he lost numerous ranking points from Wimbeldon. But yeh technically he's still number 3 until the official rankings are updated, just like technically he's 31.
