That poster claims that Roger is playing the best Tennis of his life. He also calls Dimitrov a MUG. And few posts before he says Dimitrov can win. So he is claiming peak Federer is going to lose to MUG Dimitrov, lolz lots of contradictions :p
I said they both played horribly in this match (my first post in this thread). Stop twisting my words.
 
You are silly spending time on this. Are you counting Fed in your calculation btw ;)
Hahaha. Yes, I was. Good catch. Btw, if I discount Fed, the numbers will skew against him. It becomes less than 98%.

And let's not resort to name-calling. You're spending as much time on it as I am by responding. So, that would make you a hypocrite, would it not?

Goffin is underpowered. Thiem played a billion bad shots and Goffin can barely beat top players, but yes he did play well.

Way to change the topic of conversation. We were discussing psychological - edge not H2H? Nice straw man. CHUMP!

says the guy who started doing his math with just 100 ATP players.. :eek:

bottom line.. even its 500 ATP players, your math will show you 98%.. its in the head!!

my bread crumbs are done for the night..

So Dimitrov becomes the first player of his generation (which includes Raonic and Nishikori) to play all the Big 4 players in GS. :)

It doesn't matter how well Dimitrov plays and how poorly Federer plays. It also doesn't matter how wide the age difference is between them. Dimitrov is not anywhere near the player Federer is and never will be.

Lol. I started that? You can't even keep track of your own comments.
It was you who started doing the maths with 100 ATP players. You were the first person to mention top 100, not I.

u sure your calculator is working??

at the worst, its 99/100 assuming top 100 ATP..

This is a level of straw man I have never come across before. Lol

Federer doing well at the end, he is looking good. Next stop Marty McFly in the fourth round.

Yeah, I'm used to it tbh

Still love his game and will support him even if he drops out of the Top 100

The game should be about beauty rather than mindless baseline bashing

I agree.

Like I said: let's meet back here and re-assess that to see if it's just in my head, if they face-off during this tournament. 'Kay?

I should warn you, I have a long ****ing memory.

Crap match in the end! Federer defended well! Grigors backhand was horrible, we can rule Fed out of winning the tournament on this form.
The heck? You thought Dimitrov was gonna be Stan-ing out there? His backhand has been looking bad for some time now. He also returns poorly.

Murray will never be a Big 4 no matter who much the British media overhypes it
Oh but he is my man........he ain't my favorite player, but give credit where it is due. Dimitrov is nothing compared to him.

Dimitrov, for me, is like a mannequin in a department store. All dressed up, looks good in stylish clothes, but when you wave your hand in front of the head, there is nobody there. I guess a bit like having sex with a sex doll (not that I would know :) ).

No substance. No fight.

I like very much that he beats Dimitrov quite comfortably without really playing well. At USO he looked way too good on early stages.
Djokovic, on the other hand, is goating right now, in R3. I like this.

Well, after watching DImitrov for like 4-5 years now since the baby fed days, He doesn't remind me of Federer at all with the way he plays. His style is much more based around his athletic ability and his groundstrokes look totally different after having watched him for long enough. Having a straight arm forehand is not enough to be called a Federer clone.

To me he is his own player who has plenty of potential, the problem is hasn't been playing up to his ability for over an year now. The last time I thought he was playing great was AO 2015, when he lost that hard fought match to Murray. Before that, it was Wimbledon 2014 SF.

What does Dimitrov have to do with how good Murray is or isn't?

You said that Murray isn't good enough to be in the top 4 of this generation. I disagree. He is and has shown it.

Dimitrov hasn't proven nothing. Apart from looking good in a tennis outfit, and impersonating Federer, he has proven to be a player without substance.

As I said before. He is tennis's version of a Japanese sex doll. Looks good from afar. But when you get near it, you realise it is lifeless.

Dimitrov will probably end up being a tougher opponent than Goffin. I don't see how Goffin has the weapons to trouble Federer. Then again he lost to Seppi last year, but I don't expect that type of shock this year. That was the definition of an anomaly.

Not a very convincing match by Rodge. Then again, he shouldn't peak too early.

As for Grigor, at least he served out a set. And didn't he have some trouble with his wrist? Hope it is no biggie

Now I hope Shriekapova loses next match to offer her six feet long frame to hug Dimitrov to moan and cry over his loss.

This discussion is about Murray, not Dimitrov - stop deflecting

He has nothing in terms of achievements on the other 3 - FACT

I missed you during the game and hold you solely responsible for his demise

Couldn't watch live but just caught the extended highlights. Fed is BOSS. Didn't play to the best of his abilities but did enough to win securely imo. Seems like most of you predicted it correctly - good calls all around!

Were you at the match?
Yep. :)
I decided not to post here though while it was on.

Currently sitting in Kyrgios vs. Berdych, I'll go over to the match thread and commentate. :D

Nice! How was the atmosphere? Can imagine it must have been a bit tense around the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd?
