Aileen, it's possible to separate the tennis from the person, I think. I absolutely
love
Fed's tennis, but find him a tad too arrogant/smug for my taste. Whereas, I can't stand Rafa's on court game/persona but, off court, he seems a really sweet guy. I quite like Stan's game, when it's on, but can't stand that horrible roaring and off court behaviour doesn't impress me at all.
With Nole, like him off and on court.
Yeh, I like Djokovic too, although I get why others don't quite.

Well, it's all about personal opinion at the end of the day: they see arrogance- I see confidence, they see a robot- I see amazing skill, they see fake- I see genuine, and so on.

In a funny kind of way I see him as an old fashioned model tennis player - fit, cultured, smart and respectful. I guess some might see Federer in the same way - but Federer's eyes mark him out as different somehow.

Why his eyes - or have a missed something? Anyway Novak's dark, staring eyes sometimes when he's playing seriously freak me because they make him look quite manic.

Can't quite say - i know Djokovic has contact-lenses which might affect his match look, but Federer has a scheming shiftiness about him in my opinion. But maybe I'm simply imagining it because I just can't warm to the guy.

Andy will be pleased that his friend Jean-Julien Rojer just clinched the number 1 doubles team ranking with Tecau by beating the Bryans. The Bryans been YE 1 for 11 years until now!
Rojer and Tecau must be the favourites to win the WTF.

Indeed. Not good.
It was 4-4 all in the 1st last time I looked in and now Stan's down 4-2 in the 2nd.
5-2 now.
Cmon Stan get out of this game! And he does 5-3.
Fed just too good.

I'm afraid we're going to have to rely on Novak to take revenge for getting beaten by Roger in the RR!

Yep. Come on Novak! Make it four in a row at the O2, cap off what is arguably the best season for a player since Laver in '69, and silence those sycophantic FedFans!

Well I won't argue about that because I know exactly what you mean. Even off-court he isn't somebody I would readily trust.
