Exactly, on clay. Grass is a different thing Novak´s worst surface and Ralph´s best next to clay.
Novak beat him when he was in total god mode and he isn´t close to his form since Oldman Federer beat him at RG.
Ralph was nowhere near his best after Miami, which is quite obvious, don´t try to deny it.
Mentally he was dead.
You guys still underestimate Ralph, you have to play ALLMIGHTY-GOD mode, to beat Ralph at a major final in a best of five set match.
However we will see tomorrow.

You can chose to believe or think that Nadal will win and that's fine. But don't try to suggest or imply that we're all idiots because we think Djokovic will win. It's a 50-50 matchup and if you think it's laughable that Djokovic even has a chance, well that's your opinion as well. However to attack all of us that picked Djokovic to win, is really childish. I expected much better from someone who's been on this forum for a few years. It might come as a surprise to you to see so many people picking Djokovic, but it's our pick. I never went around an criticized or implied that anyone was an idiot for picking someone I didn't think was going to win. Neither should you.

You totally misunderstood my posts.
First of all my first post was more ironically meant, anyone can speak his mind and tell us about his opinion, that´s pretty much why we are all around here.
It was all not meant in the way to attack you or the others, you know.
Sure Novak has a chance, it´ll be a competitive final though Ralph will be too strong, imo.
Don´t take it all too serious mate, nobody is attacking you.

Rafa in 4....
I really don't think Djokovic will win this one..he hasn't looked amazing this fortnight and I think Rafa has some revenge on his mind for those clay court wins Novak got over him. Novak definitely has a chance...although I think he must be a little thankful Tsgona knocked out Fed after what happened at the French...I think it will be a fight..but I think Rafa will come out on top, especially since this is Novak's worst slam surface and his first non hard court slam final.......

Yeah it just seemed like it with the way you put it.
Either way though, I want this to go 5 epic sets.
I'm just tired of seeing Nadal win all the slams lately, so I'm pulling for Djokovic. I really wanted Murray or Tsonga to get the final though. It'd be nice to see someone win a slam for the first time, instead of Fedal and Nole.

As soon as the match turns out an epic, I don´t care who wins.
Yeah some other guys reaching the finals would be really refreshing.

Something like 14-12 in the 5th would be pretty sweet.

Hearty congrats to all the winners and thanks to Seff, Jay and all the others who put work into this competition. Also, much deserved Congrats to Novak...after the French I really didn't think he was ready to win a non-hard court slam and he stepped up and took it. Sure...neither played their absolute best tennis...but in the end Novak shook off the Fed loss at the French and did enough to win...now going into the summer hardcourt swing we'll see how he handles being number 1....should be fun to watch

But for now, congrats to Breaker on his first win and a slam win at that! kish takes over #1 overall and increases his lead for year end #1. Congrats also to Djokovic for a fantastic year and a great win.

'Grats to Breaker for the win. Too good, just couldn't quite reach you in the end.
Thanks Seffi and co. for the great work as well. Free ice-cream on the house for the effort.

You always promise ice-cream... yet I never get it!
I really will post images later I promise... but for now the top ten rankings and race are updated in the league file. Li moves up to third for the first time... and I'm back in the top ten. Woo. Now I just need to get to the top 8 to qualify for the Elite Eight competition. Come on, seffi, you can do it!

It would've been much tougher without your help - especially during the first week when there were a lot of matches and I was also having a busy work week. So thank you! And Jay as well for rechecking everything!

Congrats to JayChu and kpxjam for their victory in the H2H tournament! Well done.
Congrats to Breaker also for the singles title.
And of course thanks to seff and Jay running this. Excellent job as always. I'm liking these "pick stats" tables, seff!
PS to woodrow: I won't participate to Montreal, and probably not to Cincy either. Don't wait for me in August, I'll be back for the USO!

Even though I was bad predictor as usual I feel as a winner for the obvious reason.
Congratulations to Breaker and hope my partner kish stays #1 for a long time!
