Interesting, I went for Novak in 3 myself. Probably a close(ish) first set and 2 routine ones. Dimitrov is not there physically yet to challenge in best of 5 imo.

The Son of God vs Grand Son of God. The devil has struck. Through secret sorcery he put the 2 saviours against each other, but The Grand Son knows what is right and he will surely do the right thing.

Ca va chauffer! OK, I apologize in advance if I'm grossly underestimating Dimi but I can't imagine him outlasting Djoko in a best of 5, especially with no TB in the 5th. And I think that after Madrid, Novak is gonna arrive mega pumped...

Is it possible that some trainer somewhere somehow has talked to Dimitrov about salt tablets and proper hydration during a long match to avoid cramps. If one has, he as about a 10% chance of an upset; if not, less than zero.

If Baby Fed shows up with the goods, anything's possible. I'm hoping for a great match, with Djoker squeaking it out in 5.

SOG's juggernaut is cruising and the demon's effigies and all his monuments would be crushed beneath the might of our holy angel. :)

The Son of "Federer the Great" will cause serious troubles to the Nole man.
I voted Nole in 4 though

Because I want to. Why do you post when your only default answer is to trash Nadal and his fans? You can always put me on ignore if you don't like what I have to say.

Think you've mistake Nadal fans with the infamous N.S.K. :lol:

If I can tolerate N.S.K. I can tolerate you. :)

Nole is too determined to lose to Dimitrov in best of five. I voted Nole in 4 but I think it could just as easily be 3. Good luck to Grigor though, I hope he makes a match of it.

Grigor doesn't have the stamina at this point. He can't do 3 sets much less 4. He may win1 set, but he'll cramp up during the 3rd set and the 4th will be 6-0 or 6-2 at the best.

Methinks the cramping episode in cool conditions @M-C vs ****** was more mentally induced. Hopefully, the win vs Djok @Madrid frees up his mind to not falter in crunch time Saturday. Djok probably prevails but not very easily. I want a five-setter but I'll say Djok in four.

So you basically telling me that you want Nadal to win RG?

You call yourself a Federer fan...

All Federer fans are not opportunists. They still believe in their hero. They still stick with their hero irrespective of the circumstances. So they would rather prefer Roger lose to Nadal in the final than hope for someone else to do the job for them.
 
I think Novak wins this in either 3 or 4. In a few years Dimitrov will contend on clay big time...not today though. If this was Wimbledon it'd be much closer I think.

Kudos to you. I hope all the rest of the fans can be as level headed like you.
