Federer Del Potro Basel 2013 final

[tennis_pro]

Fed should've won his match against Pospisil 1,5 hours faster but he still managed to pull through. Del Potro had a mental lapse in the second set against Roger-Vasselin but also won his match in 3. Last year Del Potro beat Federer in 3 tight sets in the final to claim the title.

 

[FedererDropShot]

After the heart-attack...

Delpo in 3.

 

[Tenez101]

Federer in 3. He will find a way.

 

[Who Am I?]

Federer will be too tired for the final unfortunately. Delpo in straights.

 

[tennis_pro]

I'm gonna go with Del Potro in 3 as well but I'm happy Fed reached the final here. Just hope he doesn't get humiliated, should've won his match in 1 hour compared to 2,5...Damn, Fed!

 

[underground]

Fed in 2.

Why? Because his form is so erratic and unpredictable you don't know which Federer is gonna appear.

 

[Terenigma]

Gonna go with Del potro in 2. He comes in waves, sometimes he's excellent and sometimes he's average. He was average in his semi so i say he steps it up for the final.

same excuse as Olympics final against Murray

Del Potro in 2

Funny thing is....I don't think Fed has ever beaten Delpo INDOORS. WTF 2009, 2012 and Basel 2012.

Well WTF 2009 and 2012 weren't particularly big matches as both were RR and Fed still got out of his group. Basel 2012 was pretty big, though.

 

[Who Am I?]

And it's not gonna change tomorrow either.

He has but Juano is up something like 4-2

Del Potro in 2

OH you heartless man!!

 

[-RF-]

The King in 3

 

[Tenez101]

He clearly tanked WTF 2009 to screw Murray.

 

[RF20Lennon]

My bad guys! He has IN FACT beaten Delpo INDOORS. 3 times. Basel 2007, Madrid 2008 and Rotterdam 2012. So they are actually tied 3-3.

 

[flyinghippos101]

He clearly tanked WTF 2009 to screw Murray.

I remember that like it was yesterday. He screamed something like, "I'm through!" after he won just enough games to qualify or something? Troll Fed was a troll that day.

 

[Wim]

Hm.. Delpo is not so predictable too. But I think he has a higher chance winning.

 

[PeteD]

My bad guys! He has IN FACT beaten Delpo INDOORS. 3 times. Basel 2007, Madrid 2008 and Rotterdam 2012. So they are actually tied 3-3.

ESPN3 just said Juan was ahead. Oh well.

 

[RF20Lennon]

ESPN3 just said Juan was ahead. Oh well.

Not according to the ATP website.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

OH you heartless man!!

heartless, don't know the guy still won 70 something tournaments in his career so i don't feel that bad predicting a win from del Potro

 

[newpball]

Del Potro in 2.

 

[tennis_pro]

I remember that like it was yesterday. He screamed something like, "I'm through!" after he won just enough games to qualify or something? Troll Fed was a troll that day.

Yay! That was pure gold, I thought Federer had the third set under control in his match against Del Potro but it literally looked like he lost on purpose to kick Murray out of the tournament. Ouch that must've hurt if you were Andy Murray:twisted:

 

[PeteD]

Not according to the ATP website.

Looks like you are correct:

 

[PeteD]

Juan's got a seven-year and 6-inch advantage, plus Rog worked hard today.

 

[Tennis sensation]

Del Potro in 3

 

[FreeBird]

Delpo king in2.

 

[FederErizeD]

Sad to say it but I think Delpo will get it in 2 clean sets.

Hope Delpo's heart goes soft on Federer though and even hands him the trophy along with a "We still believe in you" flag.

 

[Steve0904]

I think Delpo will take it in 3. That said, with the crowd and the motivation to qualify, I would not be at all surprised if Fed won tomorrow. So in short, I think Delpo will win, but I don't think I'll be as surprised as some of you if Fed wins. This place and others have always been quick to write Federer off, but I just don't subscribe to that logic.

Can anyone help me find the new Paris thread? The draw is out

How is anyone being quick to write Fed off for the Basel final? Based on play this week, making a choice doesn't indicate writing anyone off. That's just absurd.

Thank you

Not for this tournament in particular, but you have to know what everybody's saying these days about Federer right?

 

[henman_fan]

Del potro is the favorite, but I think Fed will roll back the years and win in 2.

 

[TheF1Bob]

Delpo in two if he shows up.

Fed in three if he shows up.

Conclusion, someone wins.

And someone loses.

 

[AudreyBlue]

Did he really do that? Wow, that just made me think less of Federer.

 

[bullfan]

Delpo in two if he shows up.

Fed in three if he shows up.

Oh Confucius, thanks for the clarification.

 

[WeeDiM]

It pains me to go against my hero but I voted Delpo in 3. I just hope to see a great match tomorrow. I'll be rooting for Fed but I like both players so either way will be cool.

 

[Warmaster]

Had Federer won in 2 against Pospisil as he should have it would have been close, now I don't see him winning. Hoping for a good final, may the best win!

 

[urundai]

Head says Del Po in 2, heart says the mastero in 3. What the heck, I will go with my heart

 

[Overdrive]

Hmm... I'm going to say Federer in a very tight 3 sets.

 

[monfed]

Heart says Fed in 3, head says Delpo in 3. Going with my head for a change.

 

[monfed]

Delpo in two if he shows up.

Fed in three if he shows up.

Conclusion, someone wins.

And someone loses.

Why so philosophical,Bob? Missing Novak huh? :lol:

 

[jaggy]

Delpo in 2 easy, maybe 2 and 3

 

[ark_28]

Funny thing is....I don't think Fed has ever beaten Delpo INDOORS. WTF 2009, 2012 and Basel 2012.

I think he has once.. The Rotterdam final last year...

 

[tudwell]

Weird that they met eight times last year and this is the first time they've met this year. I think Del Potro will win in three sets (although maybe he'll get his first straight sets win over Federer).

 

[ellie nielsen]

Head says Delpo in 2. Still, it's Roger, he's playing at home, and I just can't ever bring myself to count him out anyway, so I'll follow my heart and vote Roger in 3.

 

[merwy]

Weird that they met eight times last year and this is the first time they've met this year. I think Del Potro will win in three sets (although maybe he'll get his first straight sets win over Federer).

Not that weird considering Federer didn't go deep in barely any tournaments. You have to reach the QF to play the 5-8 ranked guys. And after Federer dropped out of the top 4 it was almost impossible for them to meet.

 

[Team10]

Federer in 3.
He will bring his game for this final, it will still be a close match, but he will come through.
