ATP World Tour Finals 2014- General Discussion Thread

[Rozroz]

that's the way, Kei!
use the force.

 

[Steve0904]

first was a forehand dtl on the run but yeah!

Yeah. I edited it when I remembered correctly. Had a brainfart there.

 

[Rozroz]

Kei will regret not getting this break.

 

[tennisdad65]

Kei has been struggling with the BH on the rise. Missed a lot against Fed and again here today to start.

 

[Terenigma]

Murray needs to beat Federer no matter what happens here right? I mean like, H2H aparently comes into play before anything set or game related so basically Andy is screwed if he doesnt win tonight.

 

[Rozroz]

Kei too erratic. not good.

 

[Rozroz]

but a greeeaat dropper

 

[La Grande]

Yup, even if Kei loses, he has to win. Hard situation for him

 

[TheMusicLover]

Tough hold, Nishikori!
Great FH DTL to hold.

Yep, that's the long-and-short of it all.

 

[Rozroz]

i wish Kei would dial into his shots.
could get this done quickly and rest.

 

[Chanwan]

I kinda like this match. Going with Kei in 3. Kei takes the first imo

 

[La Grande]

Nishikori looking good

 

[La Grande]

Too good from Kei. He breaks, 4-3

 

[Rozroz]

what a break!!
great.

 

[tennisdad65]

this first set is gonna take more time than the 6-1, 6-1 matches..

 

[Steve0904]

What a point there to break.

 

[Steve0904]

Whole game was great really.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Whole game was great really.

yeah, it was.

 

[RS92]

Yes, but if nishikori lose, he can qualify beating roger in 3 sets for example..

If nishikori wins in 2 or 3 sets , murray only qualify beating roger in 2 sets..


Anyway, i dont see him winning this match vs federer, and if he does that, he is not going to win in 2.

 

[Rozroz]

and now he sabotages all he worked for.

 

[La Grande]

Quality tennis so far

 

[Algo]

A player not folding after being broken, amazing...

 

[La Grande]

As we know, Ferrer doesn't go away

 

[Rozroz]

Yes, but if nishikori lose, he can qualify beating roger in 3 sets for example..

If nishikori wins in 2 or 3 sets , murray only qualify beating roger in 2 sets..


Anyway, i dont see him winning this match vs federer, and if he does that, he is not going to win in 2.

you guys think Fed plays so good atm. he doesn't.
sharp Muzz can squeeze a 2 set win.

 

[Terenigma]

Ferrer is playing so well right now, he could do Murray a huge solid by beating Nishikori here.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Ferrer is a blessing to this tournament. Can't beat that workman like attitude, he making a go of it, and fans should get what they paid for.

 

[Tennis wizard]

Ferrer the energizer bunny

 

[Bukmeikara]

Really good match so far, Ferrer is zoning on some forehand combos pretty nice.

 

[Rozroz]

way to go Nish
ruined it all.

 

[Algo]

So good...

 

[Bukmeikara]

Ferrer is playing so well right now, he could do Murray a huge solid by beating Nishikori here.

Still Murray needs to beat Federer.

 

[Steve0904]

A player not folding after being broken, amazing...

It's a Christmas miracle!!!

 

[Terenigma]

Question: Is there any possible way that Federer and Murray can make the semi finals? Is there any possible score that could do that?

 

[Tennis wizard]

Ferrer coming up with some great shots , we finally got a good game people

 

[Rozroz]

Still Murray needs to beat Federer.

not so hard to beat him these days. 50/50 imo.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Question: Is there any possible way that Federer and Murray can make the semi finals? Is there any possible score that could do that?

Nishi loses here to Ferrer and Murray beats Federer.

Murray and Federer the only two players with two wins each, both through.

 

[Bukmeikara]

Question: Is there any possible way that Federer and Murray can make the semi finals? Is there any possible score that could do that?

Yes if Ferrer def Nishi and Murray beats Roger. Second scenario involves game ratio between the three of them.

 

[Rozroz]

Kei so bad atm. probably a bit wounded.

 

[Steve0904]

Question: Is there any possible way that Federer and Murray can make the semi finals? Is there any possible score that could do that?

Sure. Ferrer beating Nishi and Murray beating Fed would do that regardless of any TB's.

 

[Sentinel]

Murray needs to beat Federer no matter what happens here right? I mean like, H2H aparently comes into play before anything set or game related so basically Andy is screwed if he doesnt win tonight.

Murray has only 2 chances it seems:

3) Regardless of score, if A. MURRAY defeats R. FEDERER and D. FERRER defeats K. NISHIKORI, then A. MURRAY wins the group and R. FEDERER qualifies 2nd.

4) If A. MURRAY defeats R. FEDERER in 2 sets and K. NISHIKORI defeats D. FERRER in 2 sets, then D. FERRER is eliminated and order of remaining players is determined by % of games won.

5) If A. MURRAY defeats R. FEDERER in 2 sets and K. NISHIKORI defeats D. FERRER in 3 sets, then A. MURRAY wins the group and R. FEDERER qualifies 2nd.

 

[Chanwan]

you guys think Fed plays so good atm. he doesn't.
sharp Muzz can squeeze a 2 set win.

I don't. I just think he's sharper than Murray

 

[TheMusicLover]

Finally we're having a genuine MATCH happening at the WTF!

Thanks Ferrer for taking up the alternate spot.

OOPS Nishi, why not challenge that call???
Oh DAMN.... that is costly!!!

Ferrer gets the break... oh dear Nishi...!

 

[TommyA8X]

oooppps :shock: no challenge :shock:

 

[Emiliano55]

Nishi will beat Ferrer, but it will probably be a 2hs+ match, like every damn match bewteen these 2. He will be kinda of drained in the semis. If Federer finishes 1st, then Djokovic will be absolutely happy to face a drained Nishikori again.

 

[Terenigma]

Vamos Ferrer! Keep this up please!

 

[Deleted member 77403]

oh wow! What a way to lose the first set by Kei.

 

[La Grande]

Murray screaming right now

 

[Rozroz]

what an idiot. well...

 

[Hollywood401k]

Baby Djokovic

 

[LetsGoRoddick]

Lol. It happens, I guess.
