Look which tired, fallacious old argument is being trundled out again...

Baghdatis, Gonzalez, Roddick all made GS finals (won 6 matches), and got beaten by Roger there, just the same as Novak, Rafa, Andy.

Weak era is utter c**p purely designed to denigrate Federer's achievements so that Djokovic and Rafa don't look so inferior to him, and you know it.

You have to admit Roddick was a very weak player so it was not much of an accomplishment for Federer to beat him. He didn't have a single weapon of any kind. Look, for instance, when a strong-era player like Djokovic played Roddick: he schooled him every time, practically toyed with him like an exhibition hit with a ball kid.

This is not a surprise at all. Djokovic is the most hated player here. If he by any chance plays 300+ raked player he would be losing the poll. Both Murray and Nishikori were leading the polls by a landslide before the QF and SF matches. Fedal fanboys are just ridiculous with their hate and butthurtism. They simply can't stand someone else dominating the tennis world and being #1.

Thanks for noticing though.

Of course he is! Just as you're the most objective poster here.
Gary Duane:
I'm shocked that a majority of people in this poll picked Murray to win.
Chico said:
Not quite, but leading option was Murray in 3, nonetheless. I was shocked at that too. Just shows how much is Novak hater and underrated here.

this is low even for you -

btw is 28-8 in Djoko's favor vs. Raonic simply further proof of how many people (8 of of 36 in this context) completely underrate the greatest ever to lift a racquet aka son of God, aka Nole, aka Novak Djokovic?

From Raonic's semi over Berdych. Has there ever been a player who displays such pure unbridled joy on the court as Milos? How can people dismiss this man-child as a "bot" is beyond me. :)

Not sure if serious, because Roddick actually has a 5-4 record against Djokovic...

Roddick was not a weak player, but Federer had a good match-up against him.

The Hewitt match-up was a lot more even, and it shows in their H2H.

Both Hewitt and Roddick are severely underrated champions, though.

Wow, bookies have Raonic as a massive underdog.

$1 on Djokovic pays $1.16.
$1 on Raonic pays $5.00.

Sure, obviously Djokovic is the favorite, but I didn't think it would be that skewed...

That's a tremendous line for Djokovic.

There's no way that's right. Last time I checked, Nole was going at -450.

So that would mean you'd have to put 450 bucks on him just to win 100.

Lol so much wrong in this post.

Roddick with no weapons? Uhh hello, his serve might be one of the best in the men's game...
 
Djokovic in 3. Raonic takes the first in a tiebreak, obviously. I am no fan of Raonic's game, but it is nice that he challenges the top players like he has done this week.
 
Yeah Raonic, let's hit I/O FHs all day, let's get ALL of them in the court against Federer, and then let's miss all of them against Novak. :roll::roll:

And LOL at the people saying that Raonic has a high tennis IQ then others, this guy has ONE game plan, hitting the off FH. The guy is an idiot, he doesn't change it against someone like Novak.
 
Raonic already being EXPOSED for the mug that he is.

Freaking Berdych, why could you make the final? This is gonna be a quick match

You think Berdych would be a better matchup after the almost double bagel he almost recived last time in a final against him? xD
 
Raonic looking very nervous out there. I don't blame him though. He's playing the world number 1. Hopefully he can calm down.
 
I'm sick and tired of these mugs only elevating their games against Federer and ALWAYS shrink against Djokovic and Nadal.

I know Djokovic is a better retriever, returner, defender. But the UEs speak for themselves.
 
Lets get 43 year old Sampras out there. He'll show this MUG Raonic how to play aggressive tennis indoors against a base-liner

Berdych has a much nicer well rounded game. Raonic is all serve. I like his chances better against Nole today than Raonics for sure
 
Lucky Raonic. The netcord is Milostard. :mad:

Lol at the stat. Average time between points:
Djokovic 20 seconds
Raonic 27 seconds.
