Murray is a big favourite over Federer right now.
Murray's never been a threat to Fed at Wimbledon. Plenty of hurdles still out there for Fed, but Murray ain't one of them. Murray needs Fed to lose to have a real shot here.Haha, i expected some Fed fan to make this type of thread. Lol
Murray is still there mate. And Fed is still rusty
yeah at the moment Murray is the fave. But Fed still has 3 more rounds to improve his game and he has been serving well so that will give him a puncher's chance regardless. And unlike against Djokovic Federer has the mental advantage over Murray. And unlike 2014 USO there does not seem to be some GOATing players in the draw and this is grass and most of the remaining field has no idea how to play on grass so that should minimize the chances of a Gurufils/Cilic performance as in 2014.If only this was last year. Murray is a big favourite over Federer right now - despite Andy not convincing me with his form so far either.
You mean Long Live Laver GOAT OF GOATsCYGS broken
Semi's streak broken.
QF streak broken.
Novak is done. Whatever happens from here on out, long live Laver, GOAT of GOATs
If Fed loses to Nishikori on grass he has no one to blame but himself. That would be horrible.Bar Nishikori, Fed has a pretty easy path til the final. Up there, if he meets Andy, the britt would probably be the heavy favorite. I mean, Fed hasn't beaten top player in 6 months.
Raonic?Bar Nishikori, Fed has a pretty easy path til the final. Up there, if he meets Andy, the britt would probably be the heavy favorite. I mean, Fed hasn't beaten top player in 6 months.
Totally agree. Murray the favorite now. Fed not in 2015 form I fear.If only this was last year. Murray is a big favourite over Federer right now - despite Andy not convincing me with his form so far either.
You mean Long Live Laver GOAT OF GOATs
Haha agreed. Who is Murray's greatest obstacle before the final?If Fed loses to Nishikori on grass he has no one to blame but himself. That would be horrible.
Even Djokovic can't win Calendar this really puts Laver back into the GOAT debate not Federer, Laver is the winner here!! If Novak won Wimby2016 he wouldn't have caused much harm to Fed however Lavers 1969 would have been blown to bits by the 5 in a row. Now Laver stands Tall among Midgets like Federer and Djokovic in GOATHOOD.No, I meant Federer. Laver only played on two surfaces when there was hardly any spin. Much more difficult to play now.
I wonder if this loss marks the beginning of Novak's decline. Once the aura of invincibility is shattered, every guy in the field plays with belief against him.I do think that winning this will make reaching GOAT unlikely for Novak. So in that regard it is big and i hope Federer knows that. But yes, this keeps the GS final/semi/quarter streak intact and it is extremely unlikely anyone breaks it any time soon so that is nice. I don't care much for the QF streak but the finals and semi streak are a true testament.
Novak I believe was on 5 straight finals and 7 of 8 which is very impressive in its own right.
Kyrgios and JMDP. I don't know if either beat him or even reach him but if Kyrgios particularly serves at like 70% he has a shot. But Murray is a very good matchup against Kyrgios which will make it tough.Haha agreed. Who is Murray's greatest obstacle before the final?
Ahahahahahahaha. Go you Muzziah!!!!!

that is part of it definitely. But Novak has always been vulnerable to this kind of matchup, just that this year Querrey sealed the deal and Novak wasn't focused fully like he was the last 2 years. Doubt Novak will be relinquishing dominance on hard anytime soon although I think on quicker hard he is definitely beatable, just see the last 2 years. And maybe this loss helps some guys gain confidence to actually do it.I wonder if this loss marks the beginning of Novak's decline. Once the aura of invincibility is shattered, every guy in the field plays with belief against him.
Is not Del potro in Murray's half ? I do not think Murray will make it to final. Fed can easily also take Murray out, if del potro reaches final, he will definitely become a problem for FedererYeah, shame this didn't happen last year.
I don't see Federer winning this year tbh. I'd put Murray as a heavy favourite should they meet. Wouldn't surprise me if Fed lost before meeting Murray anyway.
yup...guru softened up novak by not facing him in MC or Rome where he was scheduled.This has to be a blessing from the Guru. He has finally decided to give Fedr another chance after 4 whole years! Now it is up to Fedr to capitalize on it. Bel18ve in the Maestro.
Laver didn't have any weakness like Federer weak Backhand, h2h struggles with Nadal....Fed needs to win Wimbledon to put himself back in a position to compare with Laver.I disagree. Laver played in a very different era. Laver would be no match for any of these top guys today.
nah Cilic had a fluke run, hasn't done jack since. Raonic might be a problem but that is the SF so Rog still has 2 more matches and a week to improve his form to take out Raonic.Man he'll get bombed out by one of the big servers. Cilic or Raonic will have him, I tell you.

In my opinion he needs 8W/18GS to compare with Laver who has all sorts of incredible records...LOL, I also don't have any weaknesses in my 3.5 league. Doesn't mean I'm better than Fed.

I'm not a Federer fan but this is true. Had Anderson finished the job, he would have won it. He was playing at a very high level last year.Yeah, shame this didn't happen last year.
