No one said Nalby?
Nadal at the 2010 USO was close to god mode. If that Nadal shows up, he'll run through the field.
Nadal himself admitted that in God mode, Federer wins hands down.
Tsonga. In god mode his serve is huge, his drop volley is perfect, his mind is clear, his strength is unmatched...Tsonga. For example see Australian Open 2008 vs Nadal...but that's not even his full capabilities that's just really got Tsonga, GOD Tsonga now thats that match and then some..

I remember that God Tsonga match against Nadal. Sensational stuff, even Nadal just looked over at Toni and was like, what the hell is going on here?! One of the greatest single performances I have seen, with sensational all court tennis. He had all the shots that night and Nadal had no answer.
I haven't sadly seen him since in that frame of mind.
Rafael Nadal.
Nadal also says that his first round matches are going to be VERY tough and that he'll have to play really well to win. I think that he's got a great mentality actually for pro tennis and obviously it's working for him. When Nadal is playing his best, I really think that its very difficult for any player to beat him. Strange things can happen in a tennis match, especially in a five setter (a guy winning many more points but losing a match, etc.), but basically once Nadal got to about 22-23 and rounded out his game, I think he became the man to beat at the majors and that has continued during these last few years. I think he'll be at the top for the next few years as well.
Wow, Bjorg said that? Your signature. That's amazing.
Nadal at the 2010 USO was in lucky mode.......not god mode.
I'm sure he's talking about his younger years, but yes, that blew me away, given what he's experienced out there..check out these clips.

Have to disagree,he did have a very easy draw but his level of play was also very high,it was the best tennis I've ever seen him play on HC save for maybe 2009 AO and 2007 IW.
Historically, in the pro era....Petros Sampras.![]()
In my opinion, his greatest ever hard court performance was the AO 09 semi final. It was one of the best matches I have ever seen. Him and Verdasco tore the house down and rebuilt it a hundred times over in that match. I could watch that match every week and never get bored.
Nadal.
Nadal god-mode reminds me of FO 2008.
No answers coming from the other side.
I think you need to know that Wimbledon is not played on clay.
No, wait...
Um uh. Nadal has played great at Wimbledon every year that he participated. If he goes into god-mode, it's over for the rest of the field.
Lol I said this was a no brainer 4 pages ago and said if you poll 5000 people this question , Federer would hit over 70%.. Still going.
Now that you nailed this one, lets do the most imp one. who are you allotting the wimbledon trophy to?
Its tough. Had Fed over Rafa if they met in the semis. 65/35..
As things stand with them only being able to meet in the final. It all depends on how Fed's semifinal goes. He's a favorite in my eyes in a match against Novak. But if he's extended he may not have the juice to perform at this best in the final as well. He's 29 not as consistent, we'll see... he really shocked me playing like 'Fed' of 4-5 years ago in Paris so have to wait to see a few matches to get an idea on the consistency factor. It will be a close final regardless, if its Federer/Nadal.
I'm giving Rafa a 5-10% chance against Novak if they meet. Possible beat down, Novak at 21 years of age played him extremely tight in Queens , this should be an easy win if that happens now.

What's wrong with Petros? I kind of like it.Gosh why must everyone push the Petros..he goes by Pete. Gosh I don't recall once in his whole career him ever being called Petros other then at the very beginning when he was asked which does he go by and he said Pete.
