kumar713 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 There have been quite a few once sided matches so far at the WTF. Secondly people who claim how this is such an important tournament and close to the slams should just take a look around. There is not even 10% of the buzz that you see and experience during a slam. This has as much public interest as a masters 1000' date=' may be slightly more but even that is doubtful. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the North American and European clay masters actually get more TV crowd. Slams are in a completely different category. There is clear daylight between the slams and the other events in tennis.[/quote'] Spot on:nice: This is no way close to slams. Djoker might win this too. So many one sided matches so far.
Sachin=GOD Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Federer 6-0 6-1 Murrey. The score says it all.
kumar713 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Federer was not playing that well too. Some how escaped a double bagel:haha:
bones Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I think Novak and Fed are a level above the rest at the moment, but maybe Djokovic's form is even a level above Fed, we'll find out if and when they play each other. One thing is for certain, Murray and Wawrinka who were slaughtered in their matches against the top 2, were well off their A game. In fact that's about as bad as I've seen both of them play ever. So they helped to make two greats look even greater. It's a great event the WTF, it's just a shame this one has been possibly the worst since it's been at the O2.
zep1706 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 The surface is awful at O2. Paris Bercy used to be better but this year it felt the same. It is my least favorite surface along with Miami. Maybe they should just go back to fast indoor courts. These low and slow rubberized indoor courts produce awful tennis. Basel for example is a much better surface.
zep1706 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Djokovic beat Berdych 6-2 6-2 and sealed the year end #1 ranking. There is nothing Federer can do now to get it back.

How was the O2 surface few years back?:hmmm:
kumar713 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Stan is choking it away as usual. Credit to Fed. Djoker vs Fed predictions? Nole looks fav to me.
zep1706 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 How was the O2 surface few years back?:hmmm: Always been low and slow. Before this, the venue of the WTF was Shanghai. That was fast.
zep1706 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Credit to Fed. Djoker vs Fed predictions? Nole looks fav to me. Yes Federer played well but gotta say Stan choked away 3 match points on his own serve. Could not find one first serve and tried to serve and volley behind each one of those second serves. In short - panic mode!
zep1706 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Credit to Fed. Djoker vs Fed predictions? Nole looks fav to me. Novak is the favorite. This court is tailor made for his game. For Fed to win he will have to serve extensively well--close to 70% first serve--and use the slice really well. That's one weapon which can keep Djokovic honest. From the baseline Djokovic is the favorite. It is near impossible to hit past him on this court.
zep1706 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 :haha: Updated. It's already been decided. :P
kumar713 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Always been low and slow. Before this' date=' the venue of the WTF was Shanghai. That was fast.[/quote'] :hmmm: Seems Nole wants WTF to be moved out somewhere. Hope this happens.

Fed:hatsoff:
