Remaining 2014 Slam Final Matchups

[wangs78]

Who would you like to see in the men's finals of the remaining Slams for 2014? Indicated both (1) who you would LIKE to see, and (2) who is most likely to make it (but obviously be realistic). For example if you said Ferrer in the Wimby final that would be unrealistic.

What I would LIKE to see:
FO: Fed vs Djoker
Wimby: Fed vs Rafa (rematch!)
USO: Fed vs Wawrinka

What I think I will see:
FO: Rafa vs Djoker
Wimby: Fed vs Murray
USO: Djoker or Wawrinka vs Rafa or Fed -depends on how the draw plays out.

 

[Wynter]

What I would Like to see

Hewitt vs Djokovic
Hewitt vs Fed
Hewitt vs Wawrinka

And Hewitt wins all 8)

What will happen

Rafa vs Wawrinka
Djokovic vs Fed
Fed vs Rafa

 

[tennisfan17]

FO: Rafa vs Djoker (too close to call personally)
Wimby: Djoker vs Murray (Djokovic to win after tough 5 sets)
USO: Rafa Vs Djoko with Rafa defending his title

what I'd Like to happen
FO: Djoker vs Fed with Djoko winning
Wimby: Fed vs Murray with fed returning to form
and USO Dmitrov vs Raonic for a new young gun to win the title :twisted:

It's impossible to say who's going to meet in the final even if you nominate the 2 best players at a tournament. If players aren't seeded 1 & 2 they can fall on the same side of the draw.

Funny to see Fed's name popping up so much over here. One ATP 500 win and all of a sudden he's going to win slams?

I doubt he'll even make a Slam final.

Well, most ppl have Fed in the matchups they'd LIKE to see, not so much in what they think they will see.

The reality is many people like Federer's playing style.

You could say the same about Murray (yet to recover), Rafa (still bad back, not sure) and Djoker (one scratchy Masters win) .

This is proving to be an interesting year, to say the least.

One ATP 500 win and all of a sudden he's going to win slams?

It is called irrational exuberance.

Keep your eyes on Karlovic, perhaps he can do a BFIS! :grin:

 

[rocketassist]

RG- Wawrinka-Del Potro
W- Murray-Tsonga
USO- Federer-Gulbis

 

[syc23]

RG - Nadal v Federer (Rafa bagelling Fed in the final set)
W - Murray v Federer (Andy turns on the OG winning form)
USO - Dimitrov v Theim (Surprise winner to shake things up)

 

[Russeljones]

(favourites on the left)
2014 FO: Nadal vs. Federer
2014 W: Federer vs. Berdych
2014 USO: Murray vs. Dimitrov

 

[Chanwan]

Well, if I could completely pick and chose, I would have Fed beating Rafa in the slams (finals at best, but semis would do the trick as well as long as he then wins the final). That would make the constant h2h talk in here a lot more fun and Fed would get a nice round 20 next to his slam count.
So
FO: Fed vs. Rafa
Wim: Fed vs. Dimitrov
US: Fed vs. Wawrinka
(Fed beating Rafa in the semis in the two latter)

But no - that ain't gonna happen.

Somewhat realistically:
Djoker-Rafa - too close to call
Murray? - Fed/Rafa, Murray is still a big question-mark though
Djoko-Wawrinka

 

[LazyNinja19]

Dunno what'll happen, but this is what I would love to see-

FO: Nadal def. Djokovic :twisted:
Wimby: Nadal def. Federer :twisted:
USO: Nadal def. Federer/Wawrinka :twisted:

 

[FreeBird]

FO: Djokovic def. Nadal.
W: Djokovic def. Federer (defeating Murray in Semi)
USO: Gulbis def. Djokovic (okay let's be modest here, no win but a final) :twisted:

I won't mind a Gulbovic final in all three with Djokovic winning them. :mrgreen:

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

I just can't begin to predict this year...


I'd like to see another first time Slam winner and for Roger to claim another.

 

[Backspin1183]

What I'd like to see:

French Open: Nadal vs Murray
Wimbledon: Nadal vs Murray
US Open: Nadal vs Dimitrov/Thiem/Gulbis/Janowicz/Nishikori/any of the young guys.

What I think will happen:

French Open: Nadal def Djokovic 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5

Wimbledon: Murray def Federer 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(7), 6-2

US Open: Djokovic defeats Murray 6-1, 6-3, 5-7, 1-6, 6-4

 

[dr325i]

Murray and Federer in ANY slam finals...a joke (currently for Murray, indefinitely for Fed).
Murray is totally out of whack to do anything at a Slam, Fed cannot pass the top guys in the best of 5...unfortunately

2014 FO: Fed vs. Fed
2014 W: Fed vs. Fed
2014 USO: Fed vs. Fed

 

[tennis_hack]

Realistically, the only thing that can really happen is;

2014 FO: Nadal vs Djokovic
2014 W: Nadal vs Djokovic
2014 USO: Nadal vs Djokovic

Do you want me to carry on and predict the finalists for 2015 as well? Sure thing;

2015 AO: Nadal vs Djokovic
2015 FO: Nadal vs Djokovic
2015 W: Nadal vs Djokovic
2015 USO: Nadal vs Djokovic

Anyone who believes there will be any other finalists is living in a dream world.

You understand that 90 percent of your posts are filled with dull sarcasm which does not make any sense and is not funny at all?

You only think it's sarcastic because you don't agree with me.

 

[JRAJ1988]

I want to see Murray win another slam but that now looks like a distant dream but anywho!

French Open - Federer vs Djokovic
Wimbledon - Murray vs Nadal
US Open - Federer vs Nadal

I like Nadal but I'd rather him win a slam which hasn't got Clay or hoards of passionate French attendees. I want to see someone who isn't called Rafael Nadal win the French Open before I graduate from Uni.
