yea, but wimbledon is still months awy, may be gets back to his usual peak self, hard to say
Djokovic probably won't even play W this year. Not sure if Murray will either.
I agree its Roger's to lose at the moment assuming he's healthy then.
Djokovic needs to actually get to Federer in the draw first. He is done until proven otherwise. Why should he get the benefit of the doubt when Federer was told to retire and don't bother trying? Now "the show is on the other foot".
Nadal needs to show he can go deep at WB again and shouldn't get an automatic pass.
Never is not in Roger's vocabulary.
Really Kyrgios?
I think he's capable. Capable and actually doing it are two different things.
He was capable of beating Gilles Muller at last year's WB, did that happen? Also what type pressure will Nadal be under when WB comes around?
If he can, then what? He will lose in the final again.
Muller has Rafa's number at Wimbledon. If he had gotten past him, there's no telling how the tournament would have gone. Maybe he even makes it to the finals. Roger still wins in that scenario IMO btw.
U still believe in jinxes? There are many jinxes that failed on the board. No this is not a jinx thread.
That’s always a possibility. For him and everybody.
This.
Cuz Federer has at least 1 more slam in him..it's absurd that never is being even considered, he owns the field right now and is looking good for 2018.
For some reason, I honestly think Fed will win his last slam at age 40.
Players dont peak at 31. Satya vachan (universal truth)
Djoker.....lolol.....he can't grind out fed now as his days of pure athelticism are over. So federer has a clear matchup advantage against him regardless of age, due to fed's variety and all-court attacking game, smooth and effortless
Also the way Fed moves and is fit, I think Fed can even now grind Djoker if he decides to. Because, Fed is fresher in finals due to easy early rounds and superior fitness.
Yes that's 100% true my friend. But we don't want him to convert to a grinder forever and end like rafa or djok. Federer and Kyrgios are the only players who possess the game which is likeable.
He also could be done winning slams.So you should had put that option in the poll.
If he stays healthy, Roger will probably with this year's Wimbledon. Nick is too immature and inconsistent to win a slam. Cilic would have to play his USO win level, which is not likely. There just are no other great or near great grass players today
Yeah, if he gets a draw of 5’7” dudes in the 1st week (at Wimbledon).....
Last USO was one of the slowest ones in a decade, why would they flip the script completely this year? I'm sure Fed winning would have gotten great ratings last year too, what with it being his dream comeback year and all.
Strange how we go from Cincy and those fast conditions to USO. This is even worse now then when Madrid was taking place a week before RG.
Carreno-Busta vs Anderson SF?
Yep, really makes no sense, lead-up tourneys to slams playing so differently than the slam itself. Can't remember the speed index but I think even smaller USO series tourneys like Washington also played fast.
