Are Federer and Murray both going to tank cuz neither wants to face Djokovic?

[always_crosscourt]

I reckon the 2nd SF will be a stinker. Neither has proper motivation, because both know they have no chance in the final anyway.

If David Ferrer had beaten Djokovic, the motivation would have been through the roof. As it stands - it's just not there. It's like me telling you that you have to fight this guy to the death, and if you win - well you just get a bullet to the face - that's your reward.

I don't think Murray is scared of Djoko. Fed may be a little bit.

 

[Avles]

no

Inane question, please close the tread.

 

[Headshotterer]

LMAO. Djokovic almost lost to WAWRINKA. Who is that guy? And Ferrer is just a lesser equivalent of Djokovic.

You know who seems more scared than Federer potentially might be? The guy who isn't competing.

And i thought i have read some pretty ******** posts on this forum....

Why the hell would either Federer or Djokovic be scared? Apprehension and general anxiety is very different to being "scared".

Everyone is scared of Novak 2.0 8)

 

[InspectorRacquet]

Murray isn't scared. He just beat Djokovic for the US Open.
Federer isn't scared. He beat Djokovic and Murray back to back to win Wimbledon last year. Federer has the possibility of doing it again in reverse order.

 

[Mike Sams]

Federer would've obliterated Ferrer in the same fashion as Djokovic did. Murray on the other hand might've given Ferrer a set at best. It's all about styles.

Murray isn't scared of anyone anymore. Whatever fears he had ended after 2012 when he bagged the Olympic Gold and took the US Open. Now he's a threat everywhere.

 

[Nickzor]

Yep, that's why this thread is stupid, why would a 17 time slam champion be scared to vs anyone, and as we know Murray beat Djoker in 5 at the Us Open while he was defending champion, if it's anyone that's scared it's be djokovic, the OP might as well start a "will every player on RAFAS side tank because they are scared of him thread" everytime the French Open comes around.

Novak 2.0 was last seen in a slam at the USO 2011. Just saying.

 

[ruerooo]

No.

They're going to tank because they're going to wear each other out trying to get to the final.

MAndy could take Novak. But not if Roger takes him to five sets, when not only did Novak only have three, but he also has an extra day off.

Nadal? That would be weird given that he beat Novak the last 3 finals they played.

Oh, really? It's pathetic that he's still "scared", then, doncha think?

 

[veroniquem]

Er but he's not. (ETA: actually at AO i think all players are a bit scared of Djoko except maybe Murray because it's a great surface for his game too).

 

[BreakPoint]

Um...no. Quite the opposite. Both Federer and Murray will now try extra hard to win their semi so that they'll have the chance to kick Djokovic's butt in the final.

 

[Prisoner of Birth]

Er but he's not. (ETA: actually at AO i think all players are a bit scared of Djoko except maybe Murray because it's a great surface for his game too).

And yet it's Federer who won a title on the surface, not Murray.

 

[veroniquem]

I know. Murray completely blew it mentally in that final. That's why I'm really excited to see if he can keep it together this time.

 

[furryballs]

jerry springer!

 

[raging]

watching this right now & nobody looks like they are tanking!

 

[raging]

still going after 3 hours plus & no sign of tanking.
Both very tired though.
