Imagine Djokovic losing on Sunday and Fed taking Wimbledon

[Krish0608]

We are allowed to dream until reality comes crashing this Sunday right?

 

[Bartelby]

I can't imagine Federer winning a 250 at the moment.

 

[Hamnavoe]

Yes I think that would be a very acceptable outcome.

 

[GhostofPetros]

With the level of competition right now, it certainly is possible that Tsitsipas beats Nole on Sunday. Federer winning Wimbledon is harder to see, but this is not the Roddick era where anything is a certainty for the top player.

 

[Sudacafan]

We are allowed to dream until reality comes crashing this Sunday right?

I can even allow Nole winning on Sunday and Fed taking Wimbledon.

 

[40-15 still haunts me]

If Novak can take out Nadal at RG then I’m more scared than ever that Novak will clear up at Wimbledon

 

[pj80]

if novak leaves with the trophy sunday night, it would be a huge boost of confidence for the rest of the year. But Titis will be a huge challenge mentally and physically

 

[Lleytonstation]

If only.

I have a better chance of banging Carmen Electra than Feder winning another GS but keep dreaming why not.

 

[Fedeonic]

I guess that's what I thought in 2015 when Djok got blown off court against Wawrinka.
However, Djok winning Roland Garros on Sunday will be the undisputed GOAT for me just for the double Slam.

 

[Sephiroth]

Djokovic would probably come back even stronger at Wimbledon if he lost on Sunday

and probably at the expense of Federer lol

Not me. My criteria for GOAT are very dynamic, they change over time.

31c on Sunday. Tsitispas if he does not choke has a great chance.

 

[a10best]

31c on Sunday. Tsitispas if he does not choke has a great chance.

If Tsits win, he will make sure during the match point game he is ahead 40-0.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Imagine Djokovic winning and then Nadal winning Wimbledon. THE SALT MY LIEGE

 

[Beckerserve]

Imagine Djokovic winning and then Nadal winning Wimbledon. THE SALT MY LIEGE

Nadal is done at Majors. Today confirmed what was actually apparent at WTF and AO and in MC. Legs are shot to pieces.

 

[sandy mayer]

Novak has a chance of the calendar grand slam. I don't think he will do it, but he has a decent chance.

 

[GhostofPetros]

bwahahahahaha

 

[zipplock]

We are allowed to dream until reality comes crashing this Sunday right?

I believe!!!

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

bwahahahahaha

Craziest thing is people don't want to admit Rafa is a huge threat even at Wimbledon.

People have seen Next Gen there, right?

 

[Hitman]

If Djokovic loses RG final, he's coming into Wimbledon with full on rage mode.

 

[GhostofPetros]

Craziest thing is people don't want to admit Rafa is a huge threat even at Wimbledon.

morons I say. Rafa is a threat until he can't run or last for 5 sets.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

Nadal is done at Majors. Today confirmed what was actually apparent at WTF and AO and in MC. Legs are shot to pieces.

Well I guess someone needs to be the new StrongRule since he told us he retired from tennis today. Nadal is not done Novak is the only man on earth who could have beaten him at this tournament.

 

[Nate7-5]

I have a better chance of banging Carmen Electra than Feder winning another GS but keep dreaming why not.

Nope, Federer definitely has better than a 0% chance of winning Wimbledon

 

[Beckerserve]

Tsitsipas would have beat Nadal easily. An in form Thiem would beat Rafa. And dare i say a fit Federer might have done.
Rafa served 10 double faults in 4 sets. I do not think in his career that has happened.
This time next year Sinner will be too much for Nadal. As will Shapolav.
I get everyone loves Nadal. But he is no threat now. That is why RG 2020 was so big.
Question now is will Djokovic get to 20.

 

[GameSetDjokovic]

You must be confusing Federer's chances with mine. But it is ok. It is understandable after what just happened.

All good.

P.S. for what it is worth I still have a better chance at Carmen then the guy in your avatar being significant again.

Peace out.

 

[mike danny]

Fed is done, better accept it and move on. He'll be lucky to reach the later stages of Wimb.

 

[vex]

I mean, that would certainly be interesting right? This place would meltdown haha

 

[Grgisme]

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Is Tstsipas/Zverev/Medvedev/Sinner any good on grass? If Nole wins the French, he may be physically dusted for Wimbledon to win that. I guess if Nole isn't around theres always that hope of Fed weaseling his way into the finals avoiding him. There doesn't seem to be that many good grass court players. LOL

Federer's current odds to win Wimbledon are 8/1. Stan's odds to win the U.S. Open this year are 50/1. Both still far better than the odds of Carmen Electra even talking to you.

Put your money where your mouth is.

it is very simple really

 

[GabeT]

31c on Sunday. Tsitispas if he does not choke has a great chance.

27C, not 31C. And it makes no difference

 

[Beckerserve]

27C, not 31C. And it makes no difference

Well we will see. I get everyone assuming Tsitsipas will choke.
I just wonder if Djokovic Rome remarks may come back to bite.
Djokovic is favourite. If he loses though it is a disaster.

 

[Omega_7000]

It's certainly not the Roddick era. The Roddick era was 10X better than the Raonic era

 

[GhostofPetros]

It's certainly not the Roddick era. The Roddick era was 10X better than the Raonic era

Raonic made a Wimbledon final and beat Fed along the way. How many times did Roddick beat Fed at Wimbledon again?

 

[GabeT]

I meant the temperature makes no difference. Novak may lose but it won’t be because of the weather.

 

[Mustard]

Remember the last Rugby Union World Cup in 2019? England thrashed the favourites New Zealand in the semi finals and were in dreamland. Then England got thrashed rather unexpectedly by South Africa in the final, and England crashed down to Earth with a bump. England haven't been the same since.

 

[Beckerserve]

I meant the temperature makes no difference. Novak may lose but it won’t be because of the weather.

I think it will be a factor. He is bound to be tired after today so the heat and sun will get to him.
Whether Tsitsipas holds his nerve though is a big doubt lol.

 

[Omega_7000]

Raonic made a Wimbledon final and beat Fed along the way. How many times did Roddick beat Fed at Wimbledon again?

A geriatric Federer with an injured knee? Roddick's grandma would've beaten Fed

 

[Omega_7000]

It concerns me to see him a bit too overjoyed just to be in the finals

 

[GhostofPetros]

Barry Cowan almost beat PETE the year Fed got his fluke over him, doesn't stop Federistas from bringing it up whenever. A win is a win, amirite?

The only person beating Nadal was Nole plain and simple. Now whether Jokers pulls it off Sunday I think the odds are better than 50%, but it could go sideways like 2015. Just think Nole should have won Wimbledon 2020 and USO 2020 and sitting on 21 if he wins Sunday. Personally I hope the big three all end it with 20 each. Let the debate continue forever.

Did Pete have a surgery after Fed beat him? No

We're talking about real injuries that require surgery not just a decline in form

 

[GhostofPetros]

"we"...I think you mean "you". An injury is not the only thing that causes someone to decline in form and lose a tennis match. Tennis is more than 75% mental.

Ad hominem attacks won't change the fact that you are losing the argument

Is that why you give Fed hell for losing to Djokovic after 32/33?

 

[T007]

Roddick actually performed better than NextGens against big 3.

 

[ForehandCross]

If somehow, somehow Novak loses, everyone is getting straight setted at WB . This guy is chasing the title of best ever and won't stop till he achieves it

 

[Crazy Finn]

Barry Cowan let me down that day. I was sad.

Also that Fed win was no fluke. It was close, sure. Could have easily gone the other way, definitely. But, it was no fluke.

I'll believe Fed is done when he's overmatched at Wimbledon. We haven't seen it, yet. Maybe this will be the year, or maybe it will graded an incomplete (not overmatched, not bad, not great). Or maybe Fed will be in the QF or SF, because it's grass and he's still Fed and we've seen the Next Gen on grass (cue Berrettini gif).

Same with Rafa at RG. Sure, he lost today, but he didn't play well and still had a few chances to take the 3rd and tilt the 4th differently. And his serve was ... not good. Maybe you can credit Novak for his issues with his BH and FH, but those were oddly not good today. He's definitely not what he was, but he's not done, yet.

Obviously that goes for Novak at AO. Didn't look great at times this year, didn't matter in the end. I'll believe he's done at AO when I see it, and I'll probably need to see it at least twice.

To be clear, I mean "done" as in cooked, not competing for slams, can play as well as they can at the moment and still lose. Roddick in 2012 was cooked. We thought Connors was cooked in 1991, but we were wrong at least for one last tournament.

And I'll believe the youngsters can play on grass when I see it. A post or thread I made from a while back - the number of players born after 1990 that have been to the QF of Wimbledon. Four. Four. I would hope they'd add to that number this year, because there IS 8 spots in the QF and there's only 3 in the Big 3 and the not Big 3 vets are 2 years older than they were in 2019. (of course, the Big 3 are as well, but...)
