Q. You beat him almost every time you played him. Was he any different?
ROGER FEDERER: Like I said, I think he was a bit more consistent than in the past. I lost to him in Miami this year, where it was a really tight match as well.
But from my end, obviously, you know, I'm unhappy with the way I'm playing. I couldn't play the way I wanted to play. You know, I am struggling with a little bit of a back and a leg issue. That just doesn't quite allow me to play the way I would like to play.
So it's frustrating, to say the least. Looking forward to some rest anyway.
Q. How do those physical things affect you the most?
ROGER FEDERER: Well, when you're hurting, it's just a combination of many things. You know, you just don't feel as comfortable. You can't concentrate on each and every point because you do feel the pain sometimes. And, uhm, yeah, then you tend to play differently than the way you want to play.
Under the circumstances I think I played a decent match, you know. But I've been feeling bad for the last two, three matches now. It's just not good and healthy to play under these kind of conditions, you know.
So if there's anything good about this it's I'm gonna get some rest, that's for sure.

Lena Vesnina is on a Russian tennis board right now. Probably checking in for some congratulations, lol.
Fedya used to the fittest guy out there, never missed a slam. But now the 1st round match probably took a lot of him.

So congratulate her for me, too. It was funny to read everyone is all "Awesome! Beat the Williams Sisters!" And probably her biggest fan is still complaining that she's lost 7 matches in a row He should be worried, she can go all Sveta on him with her "Stop the negativity!!! I'm leaving this board"

From a personal barracking standpoint, this tournament has become a total disaster for me, both gents and ladies. I guess I'll just hold my nose and hope there are some decent matches in the semis and finals

this wimbledon men tennis is 102864519374 times better than women tennis, what tasty match ups I know, right? I just want to fast forward to Thursday. Then Nadal will beat Murray and I'll be curled up in the fetal position and won't speak for two days. Fuck that, I'll just get drunk.

Serena is so obviously going to win that I don't care about the women.
I suspect that Nadal will win regardless how he might play, on account of choking dogs. But hey, we'll see. All I know is that I've seen Murray in slam finals before, and I'm going to have to pass on that. Berdych or Djokovic winning would be fine.

my preferred winners are now: ABM (anyone but Murray) and that hopeless choker, ABS (anyone but Serena) And I might go look over the doubles & pick favorites there, too, now that the WSs and BBs are both out!

I'm fine with who wins on either side. Except Muzza for obvious reasons.
