Roland Garros DRAW.

A few reasons why you are n.$.k;

You think I am 6-1 6-3 6-0? That poster is using that Ndjokovic thing (that I have never used).

Hypnotized by Dimitrov? Uh, like everyone I know nothing about him other than that he beat Djok recently and that people think he's the next Federer.

Slam h2h is a popular topic in the tennis community, obviously. They bring it up before every match on tv.

I don't even understand point 4 and point 5....

Hahaha, I know. Some people are clinging ontoDmitrov who had a fluke win against The Djoker. He won't even win a set this time. It's gonna be Djoker vs Nadal in the SF.

How do you know that it was a fluke? If it happened once, it can happen again. (Although to be honest, in a best of 5, Dimi had better sort his stamina issues ASAP because I don't think he could do it in straights, no matter how Djoko is playing).

I just can't see how Dimitrov beats Djokovic. Even if he produces a worthy game, his fitness is going to trip him up. It's like his only way to win the match would HAVE to be in straights.

Agreed, at the best we will probably see a few tiebreakers in their match and possibly it could go to 4 sets. But Dimitrov is playing against Falla in the first round, if he gave Federer troubles in 2009 and 2010 there is a possibility that he could knock out Dimitrov before he even reaches Djokovic.

Are you serious ? This is a 5 set match we're talking about. He has to improve his consistency and stamina first before I jump on his bandwagon. Otherwise, he's just another Nishikori to me.

Utter hypocrisy as you have said Nadal getting Rosol'd was a complete fluke. Hey - if that happened once, it can happen again, right?

I didn't say it was a fluke, I said it was a knee-gate (coupled with a roof-gate lol). + Nadal is infinitely better at Wimbledon than Nole at RG. If you haven't noticed that, you haven't been watching.
 
Nadal in Djokovic's half?

This is the semifinal I've been waiting for. The winner will probably win the final as well and will be a great determinant to who will end the year as the number 1 player.

Vamos!!!!!!!!!!!

well of course ****** has never lost a match unless he was tired, injured or sick. Correct? :twisted:

Really? Monaco is in the Top 20. Neither Robredo nor Verdasco are. So how exactly does that make Monaco "even more pathetic and powerless"?

And there are certainly other Spaniards more "pathetic and powerless" than Monaco besides Robredo and Verdasco. How about Montanes, Granollers, Lopez, Ramirez Hidalgo, Bautista Agut, etc.
 
Nadalettes should stop cribbing so much about draws. It is what it is.

Nadal has had his fair share of cakewalks at the slams.

The writing is on the wall for this one...

Great draw for us Federer fans. Nadal-Djoko semi is looming...looming big time!

Nadal's chances at the final slimmer, but I predict he will still make it. If Federer makes the final and loses, he will still secure a spot in the top four (race rankings).

Rafa didn't try to avoid anything and Djoko was on his side of the draw in Rome. Not Rafa's fault if Djoko didn't make it that far and on form, it is highly doubtful he'll make it that far in RG as well.

Don't be such a bitter Fed-hater! The truth is Nadal has a cupcake draw up until the possible Djokovic match. Nadal's quarter is easier than Fed's.
You must have butterflies in anticipation of the Nadal/Djokovic SF. You better stop making such bitter comments about Fed, because your man may finally lose his crown. :twisted:

You do understand that a draw (or even several draws in a row), that favours Federer, will not compensate for the years of favourable draws for Nadal, don't you?

No matter how much you repeat it.


Not to speak about the fact that, for the first time in many years, we have a somewhat balanced draw (i.e. Nadal doesn't get his usual spanish armada and everybody, who is playing well at the moment is in the other half).

Not to mention that, although Djokovic is in Nadal's half, he has got sufficiently difficult quarter, which could potentially weaken him, before he even meets Nadal.

Cry me a river.

Both. It is shameful that Fed would keep getting those preposterous draws at RG and everyone would keep pretending there is nothing wrong with it and I'm happy (for once) that Djoko has the draw from hell (combined with the form from hell lol) because that means Rafa will have 200% of intact energy to roll over Fed in the shortest final of RG history while ticket holders will boo furiously.

Except you are wrong, Federer 's draw is not easier than Nadal's. Nadal's quarter is easier than Federer's quarter. Who can possibly stop Nadal in his quarter,clay greats Nishikori or Gasquet? Nadal's only challenge in this event will be Djokovic (if Djokovic makes it that far.)

Thanks for corroborating why Fed's H2H with ****** is so skewed. ****** failed to make all those finals to meet Fed when Fed was in his prime. I've been trying to get this point across for years and there you said it in one wee sentence. Folks, we have a winner!!!!

Some people fail to understand that to win a grand slam a player needs to win 7 matches. One match does not a difficult draw make. It is expected that the SF match-up should be more difficult because that's the way the draw is designed. A difficult draw is better determined by the matches leading up to the SF.

Yes, and Nadal's path is easy as heck up until that potential SF match with Djokovic. Federer may be more vulnerable in his quarter with his form and at his age.

There are 5 years difference between Fed and Nadal. That cannot be helped. I could as well complain about Fed failing to make finals during Nadal's prime on hard (which he did) and where does that lead us? a tie.

so now that you've been pwned you admit that Federer and ****** are of different generations. Thank you again!!! :lol:

Pawned? I have always stressed the age difference. That's why I've always preferred the Nadal/Djoko rivalry. You have me confused with somebody else.

Oh boy you have some nerve with that one. Fed's 1st 2 opponents are ranked 256 and then either 125 or 187. Nadal's 1st 2 opponents: 67 and 31 (Klizan). Thank you for playing and have a nice day.

I am looking at both overall quarters. Federer has Benneteau, Simon and Tsonga while Nadal has Rosol (lol), Zeballos (lol), Wawrinka and Gasquet. Nadal owns Wawrinka and Gasquet. Don't be silly, Nadal has an easy quarter and has only ONE possible challenge in this whole tournament--Djokovic. The rest are a joke for Nadal.

By your logic, it's not Fed's fault who ends up in his draw. It's not as if Fed is picking out the lots. :lol:
