Murray for me

 

[Semidios]

¿5 votes for Federer? No way, that hack hasn't defended a slam title in ages.After all he is almost in his late 30's.

Rafa will win this one. he was robbed by lucky shot Federer on 2017. and novak and stan will be non factors, just too rusty to make any difference.

 

[SeeingDusk]

 

[Sentinel]

Just checked the draw. Nadal had the toughest draw, Djokovic the easiest.

 

[Russeljones]

Grigor to complete his transformation.

Yeah.. You had to make place for Bernad Tomic. Some useless one had to miss out.

 

[SQA333]

Is Tomic even in the entry list?

 

[LETitBE]

Kyrgios

Do deign to tell us what "lucky shot" that was and when it occurred in the match?

 

[Krish872007]

This is up obscenely early...

 

[Nostradamus]

that breakpoint for RAFA in the middle of the 5th set, RAFA should have converted. but Federer shot hit the net and took a funny bounce and RAFA missed the clean winner

 

[Nostradamus]

This is up obscenely early...

hey, we have Nothing til January of 2018. Our lives have no meaning , Empty void, meaningless life cause we have no tennis.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda because Federer had many chances to break Nadal. The fifth set would have not been that close if Federer converts his many BPs.

Likewise, the match wouldn't have been a 5 setter if Fed hadn't gone on mental walkabouts in sets 2 and 4.

 

[TheAssassin]

No place for Wawrinka in the poll but Tomic has one. Oh-kaaaaay...

Anyway, watch out. He is coming...

Aren't we the greatest group of people!

Way too early...

The only active player other than Fedalovic to have actually won it? How could you???

 

[DismalFuture]

Will they keep the court as fast as this year?

 

[Nostradamus]

Will they keep the court as fast as this year?

if they want Tomic to win,,, Yes. make it super fast

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Is @Aussie Darcy in the house? Who’s rolling out the Wimby thread next year? Hope it’s not a week in advance!

This is up way too early, definitely won't be the thread we use for the 2018 Aus Open though, not having the 2014 champ as a poll option as well as being up 2 months early? No thanks.

Two months early? Are you kidding me?

 

[jaggy]

Is this ever going to start?

 

[JRAJ1988]

I voted for Dimitrov.

 

[Tatenda]

The courts should be slowed down a little from last year
we don't want indoor type tennis

 

[Wilhelm]

Clearly Tomic, the old gangsta.

 

[tennisenthusiast]

I am going to request admin to change the poll choice from Tomic to Wawrinka.

 

[tennisenthusiast]

Poll choices are now straight. Wawrinka is back in the game!

 

[tennisenthusiast]

Fixed for ya!

 

[Mainad]

Fixed for ya!

Fixed what?

 

[tennisenthusiast]

Fixed what?

Wawrinka is now in the poll!

 

[mike danny]

Yeah, because it is pure blasphemy to have a GS played on fast court.

 

[Mainad]

Wawrinka is now in the poll!

Oh I see, I thought you meant you'd 'fixed' my post!

 

[SeeingDusk]

Verdasco will win. You heard it here first.

 

[Nitish]

Fixed for ya!

Forgive me if I question your predictions

First and last.

I don't remember. What was the score ?

 

[Deleted member 743561]

An oldie but a goodie! I didn’t see the Fools’ offering for this year... but if it featured linoleum, we could be in for a treat!

 

[The Green Mile]

Gilles Simon is #89 in the live rankings right now, what's the cut off for direct entry?

colourbond steel this year i hope!
