Attack his fh
Posted by: Veglia | 09/28/2017 at 05:01 PM
Treat him with no respect nor awe
In fact look down on him

1. Contemptuously smiles, being on the brink of a loss.
2. Condescendingly claps excellent Federer's shot.
Don't remember anybody doing that against Roger. Overall, what alex said.

Other players did that: Safin, Soderling, Haas, Nalbandian - each in one way or another

Fights off double-match points.

Two years in a row, same tournament, same round!

hmm..opens up his behind more than others while facing federer's serve?
Posted by: kitty | 09/29/2017 at 12:23 PM
Irritates him by a mere appearance across the net. That simple?
The only case of destroying the racket (since he has become The Federer) was vs Novak, no?
Posted by: Leon | 09/29/2017 at 12:38 PM
Perhaps, I haven't watched/traced enough or miss smth...but I had an impression that the players you listed were rather fearless of him than "looked down on him".
Posted by: Leon | 09/29/2017 at 12:49 PM
You are right, didn't look down on him. I'm not sure Djokovic does that either. Deep down in his soul, when you remove all the layers, Djokovic would love to be Federer.
Posted by: Veglia | 09/29/2017 at 04:48 PM
Sends his almost ACE serves with contempt and ease. No one has handled Federer serve better than Nole.

Got the crowd behind him by asking for them to cheer for him.
Posted by: Alpha | 09/30/2017 at 05:42 AM
Delpo does this too.
Posted by: Veglia | 09/30/2017 at 06:07 AM
Stops to bend down and tie his shoes.
Posted by: Murph | 09/30/2017 at 09:31 AM
Use his parents to irritate Fed on and off court
super mind game
