It’s a win win for me.

I’ve come to like Novak more and it would be a great reward for his epic match against Nadal.

All the same KA comes across as a very decent fellow, so nice to see him win as well.

I think Novak will take it in 3 or 4.

Same feeling here

That wouldn't change a thing. Of course, you might say that he would get upgraded from a Baghdatis-like mug to a Roddick-like mug, but they both get the same contempt from the VB, anyway. Also, as Mr Feeny pointed out, there's a big difference between Anderson at the USO and now. At the USO, he was playing his first final and happy to be there, like a Verkerk or a Schuttler. Now, I'm pretty sure he actually fancies his chances, and he probably wants to win, this time. Totally different.

See my reply below, I'm not being completely serious. Also never bought into the weak era nonsense so you'll never hear that from me.

Wasn't South Africa colonised by the Dutch and that's why many South Africans have those Dutch sounding names?

Yup. The only African nation to have been colonised by the Dutch, until the Brits took over Eastern and Western Cape from them iirc. You see a lot of Dutch and German sounding names of places.

It's mostly a tongue-in-cheek thing, I'm not being completely serious. I'll never go out there stating that Rafa had a hard time at the US Open apart from maybe the DelPo match, his way through the tournament (not the draw actually, on paper it was much tougher) was definitely on the easy side and Anderson folded like a lawn chair in that final. But since that's hardly Rafa's fault and people have trotted out that match over and over to rag on him, I'll enjoy the easy comeback.

I agree with you. You can only beat who's in front of you. The idea that it's a less valid slam is preposterous.
 
Is this for real? As if any real fan of the Big 3 could possibly want one of the others to add to their Slam count. Anderson 6-1 6-2 6-0 will suit me just fine.

Precisely. Same thing with people claiming some of Fed's early Slam opponents were mugs. Even if a couple of them weren't as strong an opponent as Rafa or Djokovic, a Slam is a Slam.

Because both of you guys will never support Djokovic, just like me. Unless it was against maybe Zverev.:)

Beatles is all over the place on that issue and with every other issue. I responded to her recently about her posting inconsistency with regard to this very issue. A few months back she said she always roots for Nadal to beat Djokovic and then she more recently posted the exact opposite. I truly don't believe a word that poster says.

Exactly,especially since Davy and Roddick and the ilk actually had winning records against Nadal and Djokovic, respectively.

Djokovic. It would solidify that the big 3 are back, and whomever out of the big 3 triumps at the USO will be best of this yr.

I don't want to see Novak dominating again, but honestly the sport is richer with all three of them and Murray and Stan at their best.
 
I think either one winning would be a great story. Novak coming back after injury and repeating the success of Fed and Rafa after they did the same last year. Anderson, victorious against all the odds in his second GS final in less than a year. A new face holding the trophy. I just hope for a decent match.

How is that Anderson's fault? He capitalized against a vulnerable Federer after the first two sets. That's what opponents are supposed to do! A year ago Anderson wouldn't have had the mental capacity to do it. Apparently, he's been seeing the same shrink Murray and Halep have consulted with. She(the shrink is supposedly a she) deserves a Nobel Prize with the results she's managed to get out of these players who were terrible mentally in the past.

Maybe Fed should book an appointment
 
Normally I go with the player who has made the more bigger upsets and harder road which in this case is perhaps Anderson

But in this case I am going with Djokovic by a slight margin because it is great to see ATG make comebacks . I said the same for Rafa at 2017RG

Even before the Nadal-Djokovic semi final had ended, I couldn't help thinking that if Djokovic won the semi final, Kevin would have a better chance, albeit about 20-30%, of lifting the trophy. Everything is working out so well for Kevin. He's played his best tennis in the last few days. I didn't see any hope for him against Nadal for mainly two reasons that Nadal matches up so well against him and that his wife is probably a Rafa fan. May have too much respect for the Spaniard which isn't good when you contest against him in a big final.

Djokovic of course is the heavy favourite now. If he wins, I wouldn't feel too bad about it either. He has struggled for last couple of years and has worked hard on his game. Must also admire his desire to keep coming back despite the difficult losses in last few months. I remember talking about his Wimbledon chances with some of his fans in April, that he might be ready to play his best by Wimbledon and would have a great chance to win it. It's happening now. If he wins the final, he not only gets closer to Rafael in the GOAT list, but would also have a strong case to be put above Pete Sampras. Federer still comfortably ahead of everyone else in the GOAT list.

Why did you close the poll before the start of the match? Nole will miss my vote.
 
Genuinely don't care who wins. Will be fine with either player winning but if push comes to shove I'd always go with the underdog, unless of course Woggy's involved.:D

Underdog winning is always a good thing.
