I don't know Nore Staat, you claim that everyone would be happy with faster conditions, I don't think that I would frankly. I think there are a lot people who would have a problem with speeding up the conditions significantly. I don't like that style of play. And outside of a few websites I don't hear a big demand that conditions be sped up. I think it would be a much more controversial decision than you are portraying that everyone would be ok with it, I think a lot of people wouldn't.

No. He offered solutions to suit his agenda. Not the rest of the players. That's exactly what annoyed most people here. His agenda may have suited Federer's too but Federer saw beyond it and thought about the game and the rest of the players.

Nadal is irritating.
It would have been a win win solution for Federer and the players. He could have said yes the tour is too demanding for the top players but we shouldn't shorten the season and reduce the number of mandatory tournaments because that would be unfair on the tournament organisers and the lower ranked players. The solution is therefore to get back towards the previous conditions of faster courts, which will shorten the matches, thus prolonging the careers of the top players, keeping the same opportunities for the lower ranked players, making the tournament organisers happy for keeping their tournaments mandatory, making the spectators happy etc etc. But no he didn't do that he said it's all fine, we should keep everything as it is. Now that's fair do s in my book. Case closed. New balls, Djokovic to serve.

There is even a simpler solution. PLay by the rules (20s and 25s) so that he cuts down on long rallies and ends up his matches with half the time it normally takes him. Once he spends half the time he does on court, I'll listen to him.

He finds himself in a position by where if Djokovic or Nadal are left standing between him and a Slam, then the latter would be heavily favoured for the end result. Whether Federer can achieve that with Masters titles would be a whole new discussion entirely.


May just interpose to say that belief and confidence are two very different things. Belief, you're born with. It never leaves you. Confidence comes and goes.

What do you think Nole has noleisthebest? What do you think Federer has? I bet I can guess what you think Nadal has.
