We need a Fed win to restore some pride

I'm no Federer fan but at least he tries to win points. Being extra aggressive is conducive especially on the grass courts. Federer has been by a stretch the best player so far. Seriously if Murray wins it I doubt I'll bother watching Wimbledon (Men's) again. There was once upon a time where you had to be a special player and extra aggressive to win Wimbledon but now it seems if you are a workhorse like Murray that just plays for unforced errors you can win. This is not the US Open. You shouldn't be able to win grand slams as prestigious as Wimbledon by being as negative as Murray.

So I'm willing to swallow my pride and hope Federer wins

And what is this aggressive fantasy?

Total winners from Federer in tournament = 222

Total winners from Murray in tournament = 237

Total aces from Federer in tournament = 59

Total aces from Murray in tournament = 74

Wake up and smell the coffee sunshine.

What a nasty post this is. Murray is playing in the Wimbledon final fellas. You can not see what an amazing achievement that is for a British tennis player these days?

Good luck to him and I hope he does himself proud, win or lose.

you really can't?
many have been huge fans of feds since day 1.
i got into the sport because of him!
why would i change my allegiances from him for one match?
i love feds and he is just imho the best to watch by far just fantastic.
I am in the mindset of wanting murray to play full out and not be passive but still for feds to win it.
i want someone to win the match not lose it if ya catch ma drift.

Fair enough if you want Federer to win for genuine reasons. I can live with that but the OP is speaking with a lot of spite and malice there. Pretty sad and brings out inaccuracies in what he posts.
