Fed has never had mono.  Every time he takes the court means no mono.
That has to be one of the stupidest things you've ever written, And
that covers some doozies, over the years.
Taking the court means willingness to play. It *should* mean making no
excuses, as established protocol. But it means absolutely nothing
about the athlete's actual physical condition. Might as well say the
Agassi didn't have back problems when he played through his injuries,
or JJ didn't have a shoulder injury. Or you-know-who didn't suffer
from thalassemia.
We shouldn't view results through the prism of the ailment, but that
doesn't mean we need to remove those braincells that bear the
knowledge.
In your case, they're probably dead to start with, so you don't have a
choice. But the rest of us do.
Agassi's back injury was completely different to Fed's supposed
condition.  Fed is still capable of hitting same winners as always with
no grimace on his face or aching spasms.  It's complete bull*** to
suggest he's still capable of hitting his best winners, but when he
makes an error it's because of Mono.  That makes no fucking sense at all.

A back or physical injury is completely different - you can actually see
they can't move to the ball the same way.  Stop making excuses for him
- there needs to be a lot more evidence than a doctor simply saying 'oh
it's kind of mono symptoms so must be it, but a very, very mild case'.

It's some of the biggest horse*** excuses I've ever seen in pro game.
Any real champ would never mention something so mild as an excuse.  It's
hard to respect a guy who still plays amazing tennis (just less
frequently) & blames losses on somethinhg so mild there are no symptoms,
treatment plan or modification to normal routine.  Look at Henin/Ancic
for real mono repercussions of mono.

Man, you are the most deliberate imbecile ever to disgrace your
particular penal colony.

Mono, as has been pointed out time and again, is different from
patient to patient.

How convenient.

Yeah. It's nice that IT FITS ALL THE FACTS.

By the way, have you noticed how gravity is convenient as well?

It's primary symptom is fatigue, to different
degrees.

Fatigue also comes with age, & mental burnout.  These are far more
likely reasons for Fed's drop in results than some horse*** mono excuse.

Right. Which is why the US Open win was the absolute proof that what
we had was not the decay of age. I don't tout my "predictions" like
you like to, though I believe I'm right much more often. In this case,
however, I will point out that I stated in July that Federer would
recover, resume his winning ways, and make imbeciles of all the Usual
Idiots.

On the other hand, that was already pretty well established in your
case.

Is it the case that you disagree with the notion that
*fatigue* can cause a generalized drop in a player's level? And, if
so, how, and why, would mono be any different? And how exactly would
you be able to tell *except* through a drop in the level of play -
which is exactly what we've seen in Federer?

There is absolutely no evidence of Fed ever having mono, & his schedule
suggests no modification was necessary.  The guy is getting older,
slowing down & mentally the tour grind is getting to him v younger
opponents with more stamina.

His doctor stated he had mono; his trainer stated he had mono; he
stated he had mono; he altered his training regimen with no other
apparent reason; his play was affected for a while, and then
rebounded.

He had mono.

As to the "younger opponents"... You're not going to enjoy the
Australian Open.

And mono diagnosis is *not* achieved through mere symptom observation.
You test for antibodies, and there is absolutely no doubt about the
results. I know - I've taken the test. Negative, fortunately. So the
doctor who stated outright that Federer *did* have mono was not merely
giving his opinion - he was reporting the result of a perfectly
reliable test.

Ok, let's see some links.  Bet you won't find any.

To what, you imbecile? His doctor's records? The doctor's statements
were posted on this NG. *You* fucking find them, you feckless idiot.
You waste enough time here anyway.

Not that any of this is relevant: even ill, Federer had what would
have been a very good year for anyone but him - and that includes all-
time greats of the sport. Besides, the poison that has been spouted
about the whole thing is just the ticket to reinvigorate him. You
Usual Idiots are in for a tough couple of years, I'll predict.
