Rafa fans: Who are you rooting for to win the US Open 2014 ?

[beast of mallorca]

With Rafa out of the US Open, who do you want to win this year's USO ?
Don't mind for Djoker or Murray to win, but my favorite non Slam winner is the Tennis Ninja, Kei Nishikori .

What say you Rafa fans ?

 

[tennisaddict]

I know you are a closet Fed fan.

 

[tennisaddict]

Nadal fans will be happy if neither Novak nor Fed win that way Nadal has a miniscule chance to get back to world no 1 and need not carry the 'eternal bridesmaid' tag.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Stan or The Muzz. Would rather Fed win than Novak.

 

[beast of mallorca]

Hahaha, I do like Federer and his game. Some of his die hard fans get really crazy at times and hateful that one can't help but to counter attack. Federer is one of the favorites to win, and if he does, good for him and his fans. To be honest I don't really mind. He'll deserve it. Maybe that will encourage Rafa to be healthy and work harder.

I know many Rafa fans don't like Djoker, but I'm a Nole fan if he's not playing Rafa. But I like Nishikori more. And among the non slam winners, the sentimental favorite for me are Tsonga and Berdych. I think they deserve at least a slam for hanging around and playing in the era of Fed, Djoker and Muzza and Nadal

 

[Sentinel]

Stepanek.

With Raonic, Dmitrov and Nishikori raising their level it is almost now or never for Tsonga, Berdych and Ferrer.

If Fed does not win it, I hope Tsonga or Berdych get that.

Novak for FO 2015. He needs that more than USO 2014 and I dont want him to be complacent if he gets USO. We cannot afford to have a 10 time FO winner.

 

[beast of mallorca]

C'mon now, I was willing to give you a 6th US Open, if you give us a 10th FO win, ok .......:twisted:

Deal...If Fed gets the 6th USO / 18th major, Nadal can have his 10th FO.

 

[Djokovic2011]

The better question would have been: Who is Nadal rooting for to win the US Open 2014? Ferrer perhaps? Or maybe he just doesn't care either way...

Nadal will root for Federer and will cry for him ala FO 2009.

He definitely is rooting for Ferrer. If Ferrer loses, I think he'll root for Muzza.

Haha.....if only GS matches can be decided by us, we'll have an easy tennis watching life........:twisted:

 

[Deleted member 21996]

as one of the greater Nadal fans of this fórum i am rooting for Nick Kyrgios!

 

[Mr.Snrub]

Richard Gasquet. Nadal robbed him of his chance to win it in 2013.

 

[Federer302]

I would guess they would want Tsonga or Berydch. They would be the natural choice. Not Andy or Stan. It would be career defining and lifechanging for Jo and Tom. Who wouldn't want them to experience the pinnacle?

 

[Chico]

LOL I am sure Novak will get 0 votes.

 

[RNadal]

I'd like to see Andy getting himself another slam title. Roger too would be nice

 

[FreeBird]

Tweetybird.

 

[moonballs]

Ferrer, Murray, Berdych lol

 

[Deleted member 77403]

I am starting to miss Rafa more and more as this tournament progresses. Yeah, I root against him when he goes against my favs, but I can't deny the intangibles he brings...to be honest, that all the big names bring.

I hate to say, but the new generation, and even the one coming up behind it hasn't caught fire. It will be a sad day when Roger, Rafa, Novak and Andy won't be around, these guys have that magic. I am looking for that magic in the younger guys like Kei, Dimitrov, Raonic, and even the players younger than them... but I think I've been spoiled these past few years by Roger, Rafa, Novak and Andy.

I know all good things will eventually come to an end, and this awesome foursome will one day be the past...I'm just not ready for that moment yet.

 

[dudeski]

I miss Nadal a lot. It is such a treat to see him lose.

 

[clayqueen]

I think Berdy and Ferrer have lurked in the top 10 long enough to bag a slam.

 

[souledge]

Stan the Man followed by Jo-Willie.

 

[tennisaddict]

It is a travesty that GOAT like Fed has only 1 major after AO 2010.

So, I think the legend deserves this.

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

Put my vote in for the mercurial Frenchman: Tsonga.

 

[tennis4jags]

As a Nadal fan its very difficult to root any one else. After all King is King no one can replace him.

However, I would like to wish and pray for these players not this US open but any one Grandslam at least in their life time;
Tsonga
Berdych
Ferrer
Simon
Cilic
Isner

They are putting so much effort and hard work but not enough to beat top players. So I wish and pray god please help them to win one grand slam in their life time

 

[TahoeTennis]

I'm rooting for Kei all the way!

Vamos!

Rock n Roll!

Rafa fans: Who are you rooting for to win the US Open 2014?

"Rafa fans" <----- thread criteria too difficult to understand, fanboys?

Interesting to note that it's the "non-Rafa" Fedfanboys (6-3 6-0, Algo, Bad_Knee, cknobman, tennis_pro) who are voting in the poll in the greatest numbers.

OP: you may want to explain to these little Einsteins what you meant by "Rafa fans"

----"DUH!"

We are all huge Rafa fans and we miss him. In a way, we are happy Rafa is missing USO and not Wimbledon

LOL, of course you are. At least it's the "non-voting" smart ones like yourself who can come up with something humorous (however heavy-handed the sarcasm-wink) so as to put smart asses like me in my place. Well played t-addict.

 

[TheTruth]

Andy or Novak from the usual suspects.

Berydych or Tsonga for the close but no cigars.

Kei for the young guns.

 

[Djokovic2011]

LMAO @tennis pro voting for Federer. :lol:

 

[The Green Mile]

Wow! Federer is leading the poll by three! Four, once Octobrina votes!

 

[helloworld]

Most of them who vote for Fed are extreme Fed fanatics(ie. 6-3 6-0, tennis_pro). They are not even invited to vote here. What a party ruiner. :-?

 

[helloworld]

Exactly my point. I guess these fanatics didn't read the the thread title properly. :???:

 

[Mick]

i think Rafa himself would want Federer to win.

 

[helloworld]

Rafa is too nice. He never wants to become the GOAT. He skips the USO to let Fed win because he knows Fed has no chance against him if he plays. :-?

 

[The Green Mile]

I figured.

 

[Chico]

Should I vote for Novak now, to even things up?

 

[The Green Mile]

Should I vote for Novak now, to even things up?

Depends. Are you a Nadal fan?

 

[Chico]

Depends. Are you a Nadal fan?

No less than some who voted already for Fed. That just makes Novak look bad comparing to him, so should I vote to even things up?

 

[helloworld]

Please do vote. I'd rather give Novak the trophy any day of the week.

 

[The Green Mile]

Do as you want. Just remember it looks pathetic in doing so.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Nishikori

And second choice: Ferrer but as i know Ferrer's got 0.1% chance...

Since Donskoy is out, I vote for "Others" (Kuznetsov). I like the way you spelled Dmitrov in the poll BTW.:lol:

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

that's why this kind of poll will always fail, tried it before, never a success

 

[SoBad]

A poll is a scientific endeavor, which never fails by definition. There will always be experiment results to analyze, whether you like the results or not. In fact, I am thinking of running a poll right now with a different angle that considers the match results of the first two rounds.

i mean if you ask "rafa fans, who do you support", everyone will vote, not only rafa fans, it never works out

 

[SoBad]

Of course, but I think we all know that collecting raw data is just the initial step. Data analysis is the core of the experiment. E.g., here you can weed out the bad apples to come up with the solid statistics for Nadal fans and still have leftover scraps to identify the latest pathology trends with the ****** crowd.
