Federer in 3 18 games, 6-0 6-0 6-0 matchtime, 1 hour 20 min.

I keep getting the feeling Soderling is going to retire after the first set. There's just something about him where he would retire (even if he wasn't injured) just to taint Federer's FO win, so it can be less about Federer and more about him.

This is down to not really "getting" Soderling at all. Just his attitude, his on court behavior (especially after seeing something like his arguing about a line call that he was off on by about 4 feet), something seems like he's taking this all as a joke and it's all a punchline we don't get but he finds hilarious.

I don't think he would give up just to let Federer win it, but you're right, he might retire. For all the people who watched his match with Gonzalez he was dead tired, and even before that he spent a total of 15 hours on the court this tournament. But I think he'll push that aside and go with it throughout the whole match.

Federer may be tired, but I'm sure Soderling is way more. Anyway I say Federer wins in 4.

I'll just make a prediction on the finals.

Mens Champion : Federer

Womens Champion : Glatch


Just quoting my post from back during the first round. I know its easy to go with Federer for a prediction but back then how many people actually said Federer to win it all? I just hope he can beat Soderling tomorrow.

I was dead wrong on the women's prediction. :)

Actually quite a few people did in this tourny. Many might have made it with their hearts rather than their mind, but hey whatever works.
 
The draw for Queens is out. We should probably get the predictions thread going soon. Did we decide on just Queens? Or does Nadal dropping out change anything? Although it sucks about Rafa, it's kind of nice for Murray to be ranked number one in this tourny.

I'm down for Queens. Does play start Monday? If so, someone needs to get on the thread as soon as the men's final is over and scores are tallied.
 
OMG! You can't be serious?

I might as well pick Soderling. Everyone else is going for Fed, so I'll go for Robin. Will it happen? Probably not. But if it does, I'll kick myself for not picking him. Plus the worse I can get placewise is 7th, but I can move up to 4th if I'm right.

I picked him in the QF when not a lot picked him, picked him in the SF when not a lot picked him, pick him in the finals when no one picks him.

FAIL.....:)
 
I will make an early pick. I will most likely change it however.

Federer in 4 (36-41)

Very unlucky man, you were closer than me with games.

I as i'm sure hardly anyone expected Federer to play like the prime Federer of 04-07 .. he just didn't give Soderling a sniff.

Releaved to have won a prediction league @ very last! :D

Congrats to Chelsea_Kiwi for another win and T_M for finally being the bride and not the bridesmaid. Even if you have to share your wedding with C_K. I apologize for the bride metaphor. :p

I didn't add all those people that just made a prediction on the w/ru. Should I?

Anyways, drinks on me. Well, not physically, but you get the point. ;)

Close game. Good job all around. CK and TM tie for first. Now just like on tour, back to work for Queens prediction league!

On that one, I have no problem calculating both Queens and Halle and would feel sad about not predicting Roger's matches (all straight setters of course.)
 
Thanks everyone, a special shout out should go to Seffina for all her daily up to date table grafting.

Best new commer definetely goes to Sainsainglesa.

It was 30 games ice, your range was 18-23 :)

It was? I'm confused. It's the games that roger won right, or total games? Were we supposed to pick the total games the entire time?


Oh wow, I feel like an idiot!


In my defense, I just got really confused because of all the arguing that was going on.
