Cricketics Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Allrite. We are just 3 days away from the release of the Draw. Hopefully Somdev gets a good draw and don't run into Djoker or Federer early :) I think the is capable of upsetting couple of good decent players there. I don't expect much from him in singles since he is coming back from a long injury break and hasn't had any match practice. But O well. A win or two will surely make be really happy. Mens Doubles and Mixed Doubles will be interesting to watch. My Dark Horse for this year's singles event is Andy Roddick. A win last night at Atlanta, proves he's on a decent run here. I hope he gets atleast Bronze in London .

Cricketics Posted July 25, 2012 Author Posted July 25, 2012 Cricketics,didn't know you are a member of MTF.:hatsoff: I spend a lot of time in there. Some of the posters there are :hysterical: CRICKETICS is all over the net, it's just that some people have copi ed my name in lot of other cricket forums. Yes. I am on MTF.
jind Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 What is MTF? a tennis forum the opposite of that would be WTF, try guessing the full form now :cantstop:
Cricketics Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 Draw is out. Somdev plays against 41st seed Jarkp Neimen. If he wins, he will run into Andy Murray in 2nd round. In doubles, with all top singles player playing, i think ournteams have gotten a decent draw. Paes/Vardhan play netherlandz pair of Hasse and Rojer. They might run into a very tough pair of tsonga/llodra in 2nd round provided they make it to 2nd round. Rohan/Mahesh face world no 1 in doubles Max Mirnyi. But as mentioned by my friend in other forum, his partner is ranked pretty low. Come on India
BERGKAMP Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 tennis really shouldn't be in the olympics. same as football. the olympics should be the pinnacle of a sport. ask any player if they want a gold or a grand slam and they will answer GS all day long.
Cricketics Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 B->tennis really shouldn't be in the olympics. same as football. the olympics should be the pinnacle of a sport. ask any player if they want a gold or a grand slam and they will answer GS all day long. Ask any player? Hmm.. You ask the best player in the world.. Roger Federer, and he will tell you he wants it badly. Those who don't want they will sit at home.
BERGKAMP Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 B-> Ask any player? Hmm.. You ask the best player in the world.. Roger Federer, and he will tell you he wants it badly. Those who don't want they will sit at home. badly, yes. but ask him to swap one of his wimbledon titles for a gold medal , and i think he will do this - :finger:
Cricketics Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 Why the phack would you ask to swap it. Every Cricketer would like to win a world cup, and at the same time every cricketer wants to be part of olympics too and a win a medal. Same way, every tennis player wants to win both tennis grandslam and Olympics.
BERGKAMP Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 but it is not the top prize in that particular sport. which is what the olympics is about. badminton, swimming, athletics etc all consider olympics as higher than their world cup/world championship equivalent.
Cricketics Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 It's all in the mind. As a player, all feel special to be part of Olympics since it's a WORLD EVENT and most sports are involved.
adi B Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 tennis really shouldn't be in the olympics. same as football. the olympics should be the pinnacle of a sport. ask any player if they want a gold or a grand slam and they will answer GS all day long. an olympic gold is pinnacle of sports achievement, even a tennis player would wanna win the gold,be it be singles or doubles bcoz a gold is a gold, but u are someway right bcoz the winner of olympic singles winner in tennis will only get 650 points,last time it was 475 i guess, its very less,even rafa i think set his priority to be fit for rogers cup nd us open rather than playing in olympics...
Sidhoni Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Yesterday's postponed matches featuring India in men's doubles to be held today.
Cricketics Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Vishnu Vardhan has gotten a wildcard to play in singles because Kohlshrieber coukdnt make it on time. what a lucky dude this Vishnu. First mens doubles and now a chance to compete in mens singles
