Tennis Thread - That's an Ace

[Chizzyfan]

Can't see it but it is certainly possible if Federer slips back into his R1 and R2 form.

[Randall]

Rublev to play Nadal.
The old order changeth.

[Chizzyfan]

It's definitely in the transition phase.
Nadal is only number one because of others' injuries.
Murray only ever reached one because at the time both Federer and Nadal who would have take the top spot were both injured to an extent.
Even Djokovic has been injured since Wimbledon last year.
I still maintain he did so well due to Nadal's injuries.

[Randall]

Djokovic has a winning head to head against Nadal, Nadal has pretty much owned Federer, Federer has had Murray number, Murray has won his slams against djokovic.
It's an odd conundrum.

[Pieter]

Shame to see my favourite player is feeling unwell again. Normally its with injuries, now it seems Del Potro is sick today.

[Chizzyfan]

Nadal's problem is that he is just not good enough on hard courts. Just looking up some stats, he is 23-14 against Federer and a brave few are clay court finals. That's probably why Djokovic does well against Nadal, he's pretty mean on a hard court.

Not another one!

I think most of his hard court losses are indoors.
You take away weather conditions and decrease air resistance Federer can hit through him.

[Randall]

Thiem is raping del potro, ffs.

[Pieter]

Says enough, as Thiem is not a hardcourt-player. Hopefully Del Potro can get back.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Thiem is raping del potro, ffs.

How did this go?

Then again, I had Thiem down to win as well.

At two sets down it seemed an unlikely win!
If it was a fast court he may hit through Federer but these seem quite slow.
The court may favour Nadal in the semi, different to the one in Oz in January.

[Randall]

Schartzman is a real short arse

[Randall]

But he gives it a rip.
Chang like.

[Randall]

O'shea like choking from the dwarf

[Randall]

Schartzman couldnt break his neck if he fell down the stairs

[Jamie Craven]

i know he's got a piss easy draw but carreno hasn't even lost a set so far, impressive
26 years old this could be a big push for him

[Randall]

His game didn't look overly special from what I saw.
I still fancy the winner of Anderson/querry to make final.

[Randall]

Anderson beats querry.
A career defining loss for querry in his own country.
Golden goose shot.

[Randall]

Will we ever be free of the Williams brothers.
