Everyone is going to have an off day....it's how you respond and recover from it. In Federer's case, he didn't have the best tournament and still made it to the semi-finals which is pretty impressive. I don't think he is dropping off at all. People just expect him to win every tournament b/c he has had an amazing run over the past 3 years. I think he is eventually going to blow Sampras' record out the water.

Excatly my point, he is dropping off, because he was winning every tournament over the last 3 years. I'm not saying the guy is gonna suck, he will still be amazing but i just think that he is on the other side of his peak. Its nothing bad it happens to everyone he will still probably win 7 or 8 more majors.

Only because he has NO competition since he has been playing. I would drool over a Wimbledon final like this.

Sampras(prime) vs. Federer(prime)

He basically said that last night after the match. For him to not play his best and have an off tournament, the results are still exceptional.

I hate to say it, but I would rather not ever see him win the French. I'm too much of an Agassi fan, and Federer taking the career grand slam would take a little away from Andre.

I'm so glad I recorded the match. Can't wait to watch it.
