With $20+ million of prize money and $23 million from Adidas he must be doing something right.

Re: Wimbledon
 

So come on then, tell me a 'big win'?

Doesnt mean coming second or raping Adidas for sponsorship money!

Has he won a Grand Slam, no................thats a big win!
Not being all England grass court champion in Spalding!

Maybe he will Wimbldon later, good luck to him!

Re: Wimbledon
 

He has 8 Masters 1000 titles... putting him joint-sixth on the all-time list. Not exactly terrible.

Yes, he's never won a slam but his tournament record recently is as good as Federer's...

Re: Wimbledon
 

He's good but he's not in the same league as R-Feds.

Re: Wimbledon
 

Not in the same league as the best tennis player of all time... who'd have thought ;)

Re: Wimbledon
 

Exactly.

Recent record or no recent record. Nowhere near Federer.

He's good, but he's a good 3-7 world rank player.

Re: Wimbledon
 

Most players would be happy beating Djokovic or Federer (multiple times) in Masters 1000.

Re: Wimbledon
 

But it's like beating Spain in a friendly.

Or beating the Aussies in a one-day series.

Or beating the Kiwi's in an Autumn rugby test.

Kind of makes no difference.

Re: Wimbledon
 

It's more like beating Spain in the Euros, and then it being dismissed because it's not the World Cup.

Re: Wimbledon
 

You lot are hard bunch to please... :) He is 4th in the world which puts him ahead of 6,894,594,840 people on the planet. It blows me away when I think of anyone with that kind of world ranking can wake up in the morning and think "there are only 2 people on the planet better than me at what I do"

But not only that he is also meant to be Mr Congeniality as well.... :rolleyes: ;)

Sheeesh tough gig....

Re: Wimbledon
 

I am about to be dragged to a pub with some mates to watch this. How long is it going to last?

I am not a tennis fan.

Re: Wimbledon
 

In the first group game maybe.

Re: Wimbledon
 

Well there is two options for a night out I thought I'd never have to choose between;
Nice family meal versus spit-roasting a model (in a hotel room for added sordidness)
