Bold Prediction: Neither Nadal nor Murray will win a slam in 2014

[Maximagq]

I can stand by ''my'' player through hell and high water without saying he's going to clean up the rest of the year. :lol:

Who's your favorite player?

 

[Mainad]

In all honesty, I don't believe he can repeat. But as a loyal Djokovic fan, and not a bandwagoner, I have to stand by my player through hell and high water.

Good for you!

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Who's your favorite player?

My favourite sportsman in my lifetime so far is Roger Federer.

My favourite sportsman in my lifetime so far is Roger Federer.

Nice haha. Federer could win a major this year I feel. I would be really happy if he can get another Wimbledon or US Open

 

[Jay_The_Nomad]

I hope nadal wins at least two grand slams this year in his quest to break Federer's record.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Nice haha. Federer could win a major this year I feel. I would be really happy if he can get another Wimbledon or US Open

Absolutely. I would be thrilled.


Let's be honest though, if anyone goes on this year to win all the remaining majors, we'd be surprised. Nobody is stepping up as the alpha male this year so I imagine that the Majors will be split.

 

[tennis_hack]

I'm going with the even bolder prediction that neither Nadal nor Murray nor Federer nor Wawrinka will win a slam in 2014. Guess who I think is going to win the next 3 majors

Wawrinka's already won one though. Would be great if none of the 'big four' won one this year...

Oops I meant in the remaining three majors of the year. Sorry about that haha. Thanks for catching my mistake!

No probs. Just curious, why don't you use a 2-hander since Djokovic is your favorite player?

And who is your favorite pro 2-handed and 1 handed backhand?

My favorite 2-hander is Gulbis, and 1-hander is Almagro.

 

[adil1972]

i dont want nadal to win any more grand slams, which is highly unprobable

 

[MichaelNadal]

It would be the best tennis year ever. Hopefully it happens.

I could laugh at your sig all day :lol:

 

[Djokovic2011]

I could laugh at your sig all day :lol:

And if you really think I was being serious at the time you must need your head testing!

My dad taught me a one hander when I was 9 and I stuck with it since. I have considered switching but it's not 100% natural. My favorite 2-hander is Djokovic and my favorite 1-hander is Federer. I like Almagro a lot though.

 

[heninfan99]

Well, both Murray and Nadal are damaged so yeah.

 

[swordtennis]

It would be great for tennis. Federer has won enough Majors tho. We need surprise winner at Wimbledon. Stan prob not going to do it. Who then would be awesome to win it? I am not sure.....

 

[Annie]

Rafa losing to Almagro in RG? :lol:

 

[Annie]

My favourite sportsman in my lifetime so far is Roger Federer.

How can you like Federer more than Doha Champ? :lol:

 

[Fiji]

I stick to my prediction.

Jerzy Janowicz

 

[Fiji]

This looking pretty likely.

 

[SpinToWin]

Rafa losing to Almagro in RG? :lol:

are you a prophet?!?! :shock:

 

[The Green Mile]

With Murray and Nadal, I can see Murray not winning anything this year and Nadal winning the French. Sadly I would rather have Murray win a grand slam, and Nadal to never win a grand slam again.

 

[Dan Z]

rg: Stan
Wimbledon: Fed
us: Djokovic

 

[Jam]

I think Nadal will win sadly. He's too good. Murray, who i want to win seems a bit resting on his laurels at this point. He may come back I hope so but I don't see much this year. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Chico]

They will win zero slams this year.

Djokovic wins RG and USO while Federer wins Wimbledon this year.

I agree that Murray and NAdal are not winning slams this year.
Actually, Nadal is not winning any more slams period.

 

[The Green Mile]

What else is Nadal not doing?

 

[Chico]

What else is Nadal not doing?

Not winning any more Masters 1000.

 

[The Green Mile]

Not winning any more Masters 1000.

Lol, alrighty then... bye.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Not winning any more Masters 1000.

:shock: Come on Chico you can't seriously believe this?

 

[The Green Mile]

:shock: Come on Chico you can't seriously believe this?

Lol, no I dont think he/she does to be honest...

 

[Fiji]

Lol, no I dont think he/she does to be honest...

This year could be to Nadal what 1985 was to JMac, you know what i'm saying?

It won't be, wishful thinking on your part. McEnroe was coked up and partying up a storm by that point. He lost a lot of interest and motivation after Borg retired. Nadal has the slam count as motivation. He will get back on track at some point imo.

Unfortunately, I think your right...

Nadal is in quite sharp decline. I am saying this for the last 8 or so months and no one believed me than, however it is becoming obvious to everyone now. What has Nadal won since USO? What are his results? How is he playing? He is getting beat by Ferrers and Almagros at his pet tournaments. If he can't win MC and Barcelona any more, what is he going to win? Vina Del Mar or Sao Paolo?

He is going to be 28 soon, with mileage of 35 years old player and knees of 50 year old man. He is not winning anything anymore.

Awww, don't worry. It will be ok.

I want that to happen, but Nadal will win at least one of the next clay M1000 and most probably Roland Garros.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

That's a mighty bold prediction you have there.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

This escalated quickly, my apologies.

 

[LazyNinja19]

Bumpity....... :twisted:

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

I guess Fiji's astro(il)logical reasoning was a little off this time. Repeatedly.

Good call, mate.............

 

[objectivity]

and he doesn't even have the balls to acknowledge his stupidity.

 

[FreeBird]

Bold indeed.
