sorry the other thread was created two minutes ago.


edit: SORRY, the other thread was created before the match finished. Just imagine if Nole had lost the game.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Op, put just three options in the poll.

 

[Sentinel]

LOL, you created this before the match was over !!!

 

[heninfan99]

sorry the other thread was created two minutes ago.

That is what happens when I wait until the very last point ends.

 

[Sentinel]

Right, the other thread started while Novak was actually losing MP's.

 

[The Green Mile]

Djokovic may overtake Fed in their H2H! Anyway, probably Djokovic in 4, 2nd set to Federer... let's all hope not!

 

[JJGUY]

I like this banner!

​

 

[I Am Finnish]

Whoever wins the match wins the tournament imo

 

[nolefam_2024]

Djokovic played well and bounced back after that Simon disgust. Fed has no chance. He can make it 4 set but no chance of winning.

Move on to his only challenge Murray.

 

[Sentinel]

Heart with Fed.

Allez Fed.

 

[Boom-Boom]

Whoever wins the match wins the tournament imo

Beware of the flying Frenchman

 

[jwjh]

FEDR to FLOP. ASSTROLOGY is on *NOVACK'S side.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fedole will reach the 50th meeting before than rafole

It is a bold prediction

 

[nolefam_2024]

Fedole will reach the 50th meeting before than rafole

It is a bold prediction

Yes bold as long as Nole is playing good on clay because Rafa will have his 3/4 matches on clay there.

 

[Noleberic123]

Haha a repeat of Wimbledon and USO?

 

[Boom-Boom]

So Fedovic this Thursday evening session?

 

[3fees]

Djokovic in 3 or 4

Cheers
3Fees

 

[Noleberic123]

Djokovic in 4 tight sets.

 

[CYGS]

Djokovic has to take the 1st set to make sure. Djokovic in 3.

 

[Noleberic123]

Djokovic in 4 tight sets lol

 

[gn]

OP, please remove all the options and ask how long will it take for Novak to win in straights.

 

[La Grande]

This match SCREAMS Djokovic in 4 sets but I'm thinking Federer is done backing up on big points. There is not much time left for 18, he will make a match of this.

Djokovic in 5 intriguing sets.

 

[The Green Mile]

Haha a repeat of Wimbledon and USO?

Most likely. 4 sets seems reasonable.

 

[NatF]

Fedr in 4.

A wild dream perhaps but I'm going out on a limb on this one.

 

[joekapa]

Which psycho voted "Federer in 5". Do they have internet access in padded cells ?

 

[kOaMaster]

1st set winner will take it.

 

[Noleberic123]

Most likely. 4 sets seems reasonable.

He smells blood against Federer in grand slams.

 

[Fedinkum]

Nice banner OP.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

I am not arrogant like Federer.

 

[nolefam_2024]

 

[syc23]

******* to defeat ******* in 4.

 

[NatF]

He smells blood against Federer in grand slams.

Fedr will have learnt his lessons from last year and he peaks in SF's. *Novack is not at his best. The game is on.

Best match of the year incoming.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Looks a thread - the photo of Djokovic is hilarious.

Novak in 4. I'll be generous to Federer and give him a set.

 

[Tiki-Taka]

Which thread are we supposed to stick to?

Nice banner Doc.

 

[NGM]

Federer has no chance. But semi is already good enough for the 34 years old veteran.

 

[joekapa]

Djokovic in 4 sets, if he decides to gift Federer a set.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Federer has no chance. But semi is already good enough for the 34 years old veteran.

Yes, hyping this on Novak's home slower court is like hyping Doha final. Although it will never be that onesided with Fed's serve but he has no chance.

 

[gn]

Voted Djoker in 2 and a half easy sets.

 

[joekapa]

Fedr will have learnt his lessons from last year and he peaks in SF's. *Novack is not at his best. The game is on.

Best match of the year incoming.

Do you think Federer played better against Berdych, than Novak did against Nishi ?

I beg to differ.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

******* to defeat ******* in 4.

Do you think Murray's drugs can overcome Djokovic's or Federer's should they meet in the final?

 

[Feather]

Roger Federer in four. I have confidence in my man

 

[NatF]

Do you think Federer played better against Berdych, than Novak did against Nishi ?

I beg to differ.

I didn't see the whole match for Federer. The bits I saw were better. Berdych was much more solid than Nishi.

 

[The Green Mile]

So which thread are we using?

 

[Feather]

Roger Federer in four. I have confidence in my man

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Do you think Federer played better against Berdych, than Novak did against Nishi ?

I beg to differ.

A lot better than Djokovic produced in sets 1 and 2. Set 3 Djokovic will murder Federer.
