Why FED's fans (not all of them) seem cannot accept that NADAL is the new number 1?

Question

come on guys/gals, everybody deserves the ranking (not even NADAL), think DJOKO has also have a great chance to be number 1. It so happened that Nadal plays very good tennis for the last few months and even FED acknowledged this peat. EVERYBODY IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINIONS. PAGING THE ATTENTIONS OF NADAL'S, FED'S AND DJOKO'S FANS. ur opinions and thoughts please. thanks.

Answer 1

i am a Federer fan. i just love watching this guy play tennis. it's wonderful! but honestly i think that Nadal is a great player too, i'm not denying it. i think he deserves to be number 1. federer fans should accept it. though i really hope Roger wins back his number 1 rank.  

Answer 2

I am a Fed Fan and I accept it. Nadal has played amazing this season, and he worked hard and deserves it. Congratulations to him.  

Answer 3

I think it is because they, like everyone at some point believed this guy coz of his elegant style and at times genial shot making and of his dominance, that he would become the greatest ever tennis player to play the game and because now Nadal is standing in fed's way and stopping him from doing this. There is i guess some resentment.

Answer 4

It is a normal reaction for fans.  Had their roles been reversed and it's Rafa who ruled men's tennis for quite a number of years and then he's overtaken by Roger, of course, Rafa's fans would be aghast even if they had it coming.

People have been so used to Roger dominating that seeing someone as talented and as passionate for the game taking over the numero uno spot would be unacceptable.  But they'll get used to it.  :-)

Answer 5

they cannot accept it because throught the years.. federer was suppose to be known to have the best shotmaking ability, the greatest variety, and most importantly the greatest mental toughness.... always knowing how to get himself out of trouble to win..

now that has vaniquished for the most part... and people are blown away...

Answer 6

I think they have.... I have.... seriously, I don't see anyone denying it, do you??

Answer 7

I think people have to accept that the top three are all amazing players, but even Federer admits that Nadal has played a better year and deserves to be No.1. Who knows what will happen next year?

Answer 8

Maybe its because Federer's dominated the game for the past three years and they believe he's the "greatest player of all time".

But I agree with you! The number one position is based on who's playing good tennis right now. Rafa is, Federer's not. Just because Roger's the world number two now doesn't make him a bad player or anything!

All Federer fans please accept the rankings change like Roger himself did!

Answer 9

federer is better player thats why

Answer 10

Because they are Fed fans lol.

Answer 11

Poor Roger.  I think it is a combination of the Media Hype around him and his entourage.  He has been told for so long he was the greatest player of all time.   Don't get me wrong I love Roger BUT I love Rafa more.  While roger was trying to catch Pete, Rafa just kept trying his best .. no? and never fell to Federeritis

Answer 12

Doesn't really matter what we think (Federer Fans). Nadal is no. 1 and I think he has a great chance to secure the year-end no. 1 ranking too. In a way, year/season belongs to him till this point at least.
