How absolutely yuk! I hope he realizes that it is a very long fall from the high place he has put himself.
It is hard to believe that anyone could say the things Fed says about himself and what goes on around him. Thank God for our down to earth, humble man we have in Andy.

From @tennisreporters:
Federer to @staffsky on meeting Brazilian fans: Some 'collapsed in tears. Was amazing how many were shaking, had great joy & began 2 cry...
...so I take [them] practically in [my] arms and had to say: It's okay, it's okay.' Glad they got to see me,probably a certain euphoria"

It's sometimes hard to tell whether it's Fed or PseudoFed talking!

   

If genuine, its quite scary that he has this messianic vision of himself, and even more egotistical that he should wish to publicise it. He has a hard time coming if this is really him.

"Will Andy Murray win Wimbledon?I hope he does-even though I remain devoted to Roger Federer...a man that exudes so much grace and beauty that he inspires anybody with a pulse."

Dear God, I think I feel sick! There's also something vaguely pervy about this.

I didn't have an opinion either way about Ms. Middleton before, but now I do. Silly cow.

Pippa Middleton,writing in the Spectator magazine this week,has THIS to say about his GOATness...

"Will Andy Murray win Wimbledon?I hope he does-even though I remain devoted to Roger Federer...a man that exudes so much grace and beauty that he inspires anybody with a pulse."

Unbelievable.Now,to be fair,I've only seen that quote,not the whole article,so it's possible she says more than that,but still!

Wow! I knew she was a Fed fan but didn't know she was that much of a fan! With that kind of comment, she should head down to RF.com right now.

Actually that's how it goes with Federer fans anyway. I know no Federer fan who's not that much of a fan. They all are, more or less, to the fanatic’s level.

I'd disagree with you a bit there.I know a lot of the Fed fans-especially the ones we'd come across commenting online and making nasty comments about Andy etc -would seem to be quite fanatical,but that definitely doesn't mean they all are!

One of my closest friends is a big Federer fan,just like I'm a huge Andy fan.Sure,she's a big fan of his tennis and all that-but she's far too level-headed to be called "fanatical" about him-and while she might be a huge fan,you'd NEVER catch anything like Pippa's rubbish coming out of her mouth!

Does she post on forums? Because typically that’s what brings out the fanatic side of anyone when they read something negative about their favourite people. If she still doesn't react, then she might just be an exception. The support for Federer is on the fanatical level because typically that's how the worshipping goes as far as he’s concerned. I've dealt with many Federer fans already and haven't really seen any true exception, but of course, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. For example, older people might be a bit more level headed in their support and I don’t mean Wade.

  Just brilliant.I don't think Wade could ever be accused of being level-headed in her support hahaha!

No,as far as I know she doesn't post on forums,though come to think of it I've never asked her does she!However,I'm just talking in terms of being a fan,and seeing as I know her for many years now,I do know her reactions to situations!

She's a big,big fan of his,always has been,but she wouldn't buy into the "Federer and his fans can do no wrong" rubbish.For example,the night of the horrible WTF match,she couldn't watch the match herself,as she had to cram for an exam the next morning.I was chatting to her afterwards to let her know how it went.Her pleasure at the fact that Fed won disappeared when she heard how badly Andy had been treated-she was horrified at the situation.Not as an Andy fan,as a Federer fan,and in fact just as a person,she thought it was all wrong.

Anyway,I was just using my friend as one example,because I know her.My point was that while I do agree that many of the Federer fans are quite fanatical and worshipful,I don't think it's really fair of us to tar them all with the same brush!
