Comments on: Size matters http://www.jessicarulestheuniverse.com/2008/08/10/size-matters/ Twisted by Jessica Zafra - Pumping irony since 1994 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:20:48 +0000 hourly 1 By: rmsblue http://www.jessicarulestheuniverse.com/2008/08/10/size-matters/comment-page-1/#comment-36933 rmsblue Mon, 11 Aug 2008 18:32:55 +0000 http://jessicarulestheuniverse.com/2008/08/10/size-matters/#comment-36933 Blaming the racket for the state of one's game is a feeble-minded exercise that only deluded duffers, like myself, can well be expected to do and be excused for; not professionals, much less the one person who may just be the GOAT. Hardly anyone in the professional ranks shifts to a different racket -the paint jobs may change but it's the same frame underneath, no Titanium, Uranium, or whatever the metal or alloy in vogue is either. Sampras stuck to his 85 sq in graphite Wilson to the end, and look what that got him (only 14 Slams). Besides there's nothing wrong with Federer's game. He made the French Open finals, as usual. He only lost Wimbledon by the slightest margin in the 5th set. Mono, which affected his conditioning/stamina is what's sabotaged his season so far.

I may be wrong but I have observed that in his losses, his unforced errors count really go up but his winners are usually still more than his opponents. that's usually a matter of focus for more consistency. I really hope he snaps out of it fast; break the record and win the French and retire like the great Pete while still on top of his game. Federer’s problems seem to be more mental than anything else.
