That's all I can say....it lacks excitement without Nadal.
It's an amazing feeling knowing that Nadal is out. Feels so good!
Why? Because Rogi has a better chance Of winning?
No, because Nadal is a bore to watch.Why? Because Rogi has a better chance Of winning?
Yes, I do find Murray exciting to watch. But he's boring to listen to because he has such a boring voice.You think Murray is exciting to watch? Watching the grass grow is more exciting.
Murray chokes against Fed and/or Djokovic...and Nadal....he is a guy who is in a tier below the top 3 guys.
He seems that way at times but he can play very good and be a factor and is playing very good right now.
Good thing you edited before someone caught you and your reading comprehensions skills.
The Rosol match was the match of the year. Match de dingo
Seriously, though, we still have the top 5 players in the final four, so you cannot call it bad. The semi-final lineup looks good. Most likely the final will be Joker vs Tsonga and that should be great.
Can't lie, it's been more boring for me bc there's less tennis that im watching.
You've obviously not watched the French Open for a long time, except for 2009.Yeah,me too. I've been less interested in Wimby this year no doubt. When the winner is pre-determined already,what's the point of watching it?

At least I can say this with some certainty, never heard of the Fed fan base saying that WO was boring for them since Roger got out in the QF.Can't lie, it's been more boring for me bc there's less tennis that im watching.
Fixed it.Okay there Mr.Reading Comprehension professor.

All the commentators on both ESPN and Tennis Channel have been saying that this has been one of the best Wimbledons in recent memory. I've got to attribute that to Nadal losing early, and of course, the Nadal-Rosol match is one of the reasons they've been saying that this has been one of the most extraordinary Wimbledons in a long time.
Well I've thoroughly enjoyed this year's Wimbledon so far (besides the panic attacks Roger gave me in the 3R and 4R). Nadal going out allowed a player like Kohlschreiber to move through to the quarters and he played a fantastic match against Tsonga. Before that, we had Cilic and Querry going the distance in the fifth, as well as Youzhny and Istomin, both of which were high-quality matches. Now we get Djokovic/Federer (not much needs to be said here) and Murray/Tsonga (two great grass-courters) in the semis.
I can't speak for everyone but I've really enjoyed Wimbledon this year!
Never understood why some people actually enjoy watching Nadal's matches.
What does being the best or the most extraordinary Wimbledon have anything at all to do with ratings? Nobody knows a match is going to be great until AFTER it's happened and by then, it's too late to add to the ratings.Yep,I take everything the bandwagoning talking heads on either one of those channels say as the gospel. :roll: I would love to see the ratings for this tournament I know that much.
Never understood why it bothers people so much. He's DIFFERENT. Don't know why that's so hard to understand. Nadal was something completely new and different when he came on the scene. Maybe some of you don't remember how ridiculously boring and monotone tennis had gotten during Federer's domination.

Yep,and if Benny hadn't choked his two set lead he would have done the same. I am also sure you would have just adored Wimby this year had Fed lost that match,huh? I mean,some lower ranked player would have been allowed to go through the draw further than he normally would have,so it would have been just great for the tournament,right?
