either way, I don't understand how the mostly pro-Roger crowds at his matches could be considered an "embarrassment" in any way. he's been the embodiment of the sport's highest level for nearly 2 decades and anyone who's had the privilege to watch him live knows that it's a damn near religious experience for a tennis fan. every court will be his home court until the day he steps away forever, and every bit of it has been rightly earned.

Ya but does he have his own tennis court?

Seriously tho, I agree Roger is King and the fans love him. As more a fan of Rafa (but still a fan of Fed) it does get annoying at times and if your a Novak fan it's even worse. In terms of fan support I think it goes:
Roger
Rafa
Novak
There was more talk/excitement for Roger winning an 8th Wimbledon title than Rafa's 10th RG or Novak holding all 4 titles at the same time.
I think the big winner from that match was Krygios if he was watching that the self belief must be huge now that he could beat Fed.....of course he was probably playing Playstation so it's a mute point.
