Top 5 favourites for WB?

[Lleytonstation]

I would do almost anything to have Fed win another Wimbledon. However, Tsits winning Wimbledon going through 2 of the 3 big 3 (probably would have to to win) would be huge for the game of tennis, and might just wake up some of the other young guys too.

It would actually add to the slam race and make debates more interesting. Do we really love the big 3, or just needed someone to hand the torch to that we trust first?

 

[Subway Tennis]

Federer played a much better March season than previous year and just had a decent Clay season.

Agree. His strokes have been grooved by clay this year, and he was the best player of Q1 of this season (imo). There is no way he will get bullied by a guy like Anderson this year. Minimum semifinalist imo.

 

[Grampa]

Out of curiosity, when was the last time Nadal made a Wimbledon final? Asking for a friend.

I was but a twinkle in my mother’s eye at the time. Doth asketh questions I know no answer to.

 

[Raining hopes]

Wawrinka For the win.

 

[Cashman]

And Zverev won YEC, which plays similar to grass.

This is a ridiculous comment. Have you ever played on grass?

 

[ibbi]

LOL at putting Tsitsipas over Nadal.

Why would I put Nadal in there? Blind faith? Winning Roland Garros didn't exactly translate to Wimbledon success in 2012, or 2013, or 2014, or 2017, even 2018. The way he played in Australia does give hope he can play a sort of game that will translate well to grass, but I'd have to see it before I believe it.

Let's all hope Rafa converts that all important set point this year and created the most magical story in tennis

8 years ago lol. And he got routined by Djokovic.

Khachanov

Nadal is wayyy behind Federer at Wimbledon lmao

This isn’t 2011 anymore, pet

Nadal is wayyy behind Federer at Wimbledon lmao

It's no longer 2007 bruh, let it go lmao pet I should call u Oreo

 

[VaporDude95]

It's no longer 2007 bruh, let it go lmao

I know, it’s 2019, where Nadal has only made it past the 4R once in 8 years.

Fed on the other hand won it 2012 and 2017 (2 years ago) and was a point away from the SF last year.
Fed also reached the final in 2014/15 and SF on one knee in 2016, while Nadal was already back in Mallorca. All this while Fed is 5 years older lol.

Try and keep up.

What was that epic line in Thor? "Allfather..... you look weary"

You might need to schedule an Orlando trip so I can nurse you back to sanity
Fed did all that grunting and won 9 games

All I have is the truth. Fed is having Leo and Lenny massage his sore hips while he watches highlights of the 2001 match with Sampras and drinks boxed wine

And Nadal is already writing his script for an injury excuse after yet another Wimbledon loss.

I guess we can’t have it all

Lol Nadal will play at least 2 more years. You better pray to your false Gods that he doesn't win 2 more slams so you can rest

you know I love u boo.

you better slay bro

Nadal will again humiliated again in first week unless he again gets the easiest seeds in his section like last year - (Schwartzman,Fognini,Cecchinato)-LOL Ralph draw generator is better than Raonics

 

[VaporDude95]

Plus the weather is cool and damp this year.

Literally the only reason why Nadal made it to the SF is because the court was dried out from uncharacteristic temperatures in London last year. It was playing like the USO.

This year will be different, especially if he gets a tough draw for once

 

[VaporDude95]

He can win as many FOs as he wants. 70% of grand slams on the one surface at the one slam is clay GOAT material, not overall goat.

He’ll still be behind Fed at the AO, Wimbledon, USO, WTF, weeks at number 1 etc etc I could go on. He’s behind Djokovic in all these categories too (except for USO).

He’s 3rd best.

pretty much,

also,
People cried about the lost chances Nadal had in the SF but conveniently forget that JMDP had to play back-to-back days to get to the QF and was tired-one of the reasons why nadal got away with his dropshot spamming in the fifth set.

Take away the dried out court and give delpo rest, Nadal wouldn’t have even made the SF

Isn't it a shame that doesn't matter outside of TTW? Brings a tear to my eye like peak Ric Flair im watching Thiem/Djokovic highlights now. Lol all this battling. Djokovic about to keel over and die for that second RG. So meaningless

 

[chjtennis]

I believe in conspiracy theory in ATP. ATP wants to keep it close among Fed, Nad and Djok to draw more attention, which means Djok may get the favorable draws, like Nad did at RG, at Wimby and USO. I think Djokovic may win them both.

 

[King No1e]

This is a ridiculous comment. Have you ever played on grass?

Fast, low bounce. Of course grass is very different, but out of all other surfaces, indoor hard is the closest.

The conversation would really have to change if he wins WTF though. That's really the gaping hole in his resume.

Can't really see this one not going to the big 3's tally.

 

[TearTheRoofOff]

Murray is not even playing singles, and he wouldn't get past the first two matches if he did

World's biggest 'whoosh' right here.

 

[King No1e]

WTF
AO
Wimbledon
USO

Right, that gaping hole of 2 Wimbledons and 3 USO.

Of course adding another Wimby or AO would massively boost his legacy (Wimb: 3+ on all surfaces, equal Borg's 3 Channel Slams, AO: 2nd CGS) but right now his non-clay record is still ATG material (better than Federer's clay record)

 

[The Shape-shifter]

his ability to beat powerful servers on grass

I remember that most of those powerful servers were in Fed's draw last year.

Federer always destroys powerful servers on grass. That's Nadal's Achilles heel.

5. Rafa


Nobody new is winning any slam, none of them are strong enough mentally. They're all happy to reach the 4R or have the Thiem attitude, of being "blessed to share a court with Rafa." All complete flakes who simply aren't good enough to push the big three aside.

It was Del Potro fault not winning easier against Simon!
And Nadal wasted 3 sets points in the second set vs the Argentinian, it shouldnt go to the distance that match.
But, whatever!

Did you really think Djokovic had a difficult draw before making to Nadal.
And if you believe Nadal sucks on grass, this automaticaly invalidate Jokers run at Wimbledon, especially since him faced a dead/tired Anderson, who according with many here, has no business making a Grand Slam Final.

The big 3

then:
Tsitsipas (he may still be too green to know he doesn't have a shot, so he could get lucky)
DelPo (hoping)
Wawrinka - if the big 3 beat the crap out of each other and only a wounded survivor survives to the final.

Totally untrue. He's lost at Wimbledon to these big servers: Berdych, Tsonga, Raonic and Anderson.
