I have no rationale basis for "hating" Roger as much as I do. As players go he's certainly not among the most boorish or poor sportsman like so many are, but it's more the cognitive dissonance I get with how he's perceived as the Golden Boy sportsman nonpareil and what I pick up. (It's just me, obviously because he's been awarded the Stefan Edgerg award beaucoup times from his fellow players.)
Roger seems not to get it so many times almost to the point of passive aggressive obliviousness.
For example, when he beat Andy Roddick for his 14th Major title at 2009 Wimbledon with an epically long 5th set, Roger said tried to say he knew how Andy felt. Don’t be too sad,” Federer told Roddick, referencing his loss to Nadal in 2008 final. “I went through the rough ones as well, even one on this court last year, but I came back and won.”
WTF?? Roger had won 13 titles to Andy's 1 at that point, had just won his FIFTH Wimbledon (to Andy's ZERO) and the smug, tone deaf reply by Roger, who no doubt was actually sincere, had me throwing things at the screen.
