Yeah I brought this up to her, and she refused to acknowledge it.

She did it again when Federer and Murray complained about players taking too long, she told them to keep it behind closed doors and stop complaining to the media. Yet when Nadal makes his monthly 'The season is too long, no?' speech, she's A-OK with it.

Probably, but they're so sickening in the way they do it, imo. Can't stand to see people fawning over others.

Thanks for listing the people in your quotes. I know not to bother with you.

How about the The Truth Will Set You Free

Or, maybe The Truth-Never A Follower

Better still, The Truth Decides To Ignore Posters Who Constantly Ruin The Spirit Of Message Boards

Yeah, I like all of those.

The points already came off when the tourney started. That article said that if Djokovic went 2-1, then Nadal would have to win at least one match to stay at #2. Which he didn't. Was the article wrong? Did you read it?

The spirit of message boards is that of a collection of people of different opinions gathering to interact.....a fact that you can't seem to handle. I'm sure there is a "I Love Nadal" message board somewhere. Why don't you do us all a favor and hang out there instead.

Oh, the irony, shining through the deafening pot and kettle banging.

The fact is, you guys can't live without each other, learn to cherish that, LOL. The Rival makes The Idol, if you disrespect the Rival you are insulting your Idol too.

How much more thrilling were Wimby's '07 and '08 finals than any other match this decade?

During one of these WTF's Nadal's beatdowns one of the Fedtards, don't recall who, was asking "Are there no Nadal fans here?" or something like that, with the obvious desire of someone to gloat to and relish in the disgrace of the fallen rival (something that the Nadtards will be happy to do as well then the occasion allows.)

You're wasting your time. I don't let trolls dictate to me.

If Nadal makes the final and loses, Djokovic needs to make the SF to go to #2.
If Nadal wins, Djokovic can still close the gap by getting further than the QF.

Seriously, what are the chances of Nadal defending the AO, or Djokovich not at least matching his 2008 performance there?

Hm,so Novak has a very decent chance to become #2 after AO.I think that say Novak reaching SF and Nadal losing in SF/QF is a possible scenario although it's too early to say,AO surface certainly suits Nadal more than indoors.

Despite him hitting the wall physically at WTF due to playing too many matches this year I do believe Novak has improved his fitness with his new fitness coach so he should be better equipped to face the harsh conditions of AO than this year.

TTW is fine if you use the ignore button. You might want to do that instead of trying to pick fights.

The article said if Djokovic went 2-1 AND won the tournament, he would be #2. He went 2-1, but obviously isn't gonna win the tourney now.

Check again just to make sure.

I think Federer and Del Potro are the favorites for the Australian Open. If they are in opposite halves they have a good shot of meeting in the final. Davydenko, Djokovic, and Soderling are all possible title contenders too. I think Murray and Nadal will lose around the quarters unless they get a dream draw. Roddick will crash out very early I predict, and Hewitt will go further than him.

You never know whos the favourite for AO, all players are fresh and ready to play so everything is possible (I mean take a look at Tsonga, nobody even knew for him until he reached the finals).

cucio · 11-29-2009, 02:20 AM

Yeah, this year Nad took it (There once was a man from Nadtucket,) Fed double-bagelled DelPo, Murray fizzled out and Verdasco, who was moving in the top 20's-30's and had a deserved reputation as a hopeless headcase broke out of his funk and stepped it up a notch to become a solid top 10.

You never know, and in the AO even less so. For all we know Nishikori comes back and loses in the final to Nadal, and then the circle begins again.

jamesblakefan#1 · 11-29-2009, 08:55 AM

Why do so many of the experts have little faith in Djokovic? Agassi comes out and says Murray is the future of tennis, today on ESPN at the end of the telecast the question was posed to Cliff Drysdale and Darren Cahill if Nadal/Federer did NOT finish #1 next year, who would #1 be. Drysdale said JMDP, Cahill said Murray. My question is why do so many people close to the game have such low opinion of Djokovic?
