adi B Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 BTW any idea about how the court will behave?:hmmm: Not too fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 federer recently had success over djoker and murray. So dont count him out. BO5 here bro and don't forget USO courts will be much much much slower than Cinci. And that mental block when facing Djoker in majors. :(( Looking at the draw, Djoker will sail to the finals without much fuss while the other finalist will be exhausted.

kumar713 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Nadal had a good success in last few years here before injuries. Though he is not at his best this year will be interesting to see how he play. Has a tough draw though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree BO5 is tougher against likes of novak, murray. This is federer's best chance of winning based on current form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumar713 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Saw cinci final. Federer was returning second serve aggressively. Feel that will work very very well against likes of murray. Looking forward to seeing it again in USO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep1706 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 BTW any idea about how the court will behave?:hmmm: Generally the US open courts are slower than Cincy but still not too slow. Pretty much like Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketics Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Federer vs Nadal in the Basel final tomorrow. Yes, can't wait for this. Hoping for a Fed win, and I know he will. Always fun to see both these legends play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep1706 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) Yes, can't wait for this. Hoping for a Fed win, and I know he will. Always fun to see both these legends play. Federer is definitely the favorite based on the conditions and their recent form. I am hoping for a competitive match. Regardless of the result of this match, Nadal has shown signs of rejuvenation. He is definitely improving his level of play from the first half of the year. If he stays injury free I am expecting a much better 2016 from him.

zep1706 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Federer wins it in 3 sets but not a high quality match, both of them played quite average. Djokovic would destroy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stays injury free I am expecting a much better 2016 from him. Nadal came back well, but King Federer prevails. Federer did drop his game play a bit in 2nd set and early in 3rd. Also Nadal wasn't serving well at all in 2nd and 3rd. Overall, good competitive game. Nadal is slowly coming back to his best. Some of the rallies were well played and Nadal looked at his best in some of those points. But glad to see Federer win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dil Dil India Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 29 year old Nadal is no longer as effective once certain rules have been changed and the time violation rule more strictly enforced(although still poor). Interesting...Nadal got a lot of cheap wins in 2008 and 2013 vs Federer and went 8-0 vs him those years against mono Fed/broke back Federer combined. Hopefully Federer gets a few to even that up...but of course...2008/2013 was peak Nadal and this Federer at 34 may not be good enough to take advantage of it., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep1706 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) LOL @Fedtards gloating over Nadal having a bad year after winning slams for 10 years straight. From what I have seen after the US open, signs are pretty good for Nadal. I am expecting positive results next year. Despite all the doom and gloom Nadal still finished the year in the top 5 for the 11th year in straight, something probably no one has done before. At one point he was down to 11 or 12 but came back nicely after the US open. He is still very far from Djokovic's level just like everyone else but he has certainly proved that he belongs in the top 5 after beating Wawrinka and Murray on his worst surface.BTW what an incredible year for Djokovic. Easily the best year since Laver's CYGS, in terms of results at least. No one thought Federer's weak era results would be bettered but Djokovic gets another weak year and does even better. If Nadal does not step up next year, Djokovic may even win CYGS. At least Federer had Nadal on clay to stop him. I still rate Djokovic's 2011 as the best year I have seen though, because he won 3 slams beating two ATGs at their prime/near prime.

zep1706 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Do u think this year as a weak year? This was a year where a great player who is still in his prime dominated a field of past prime players. His biggest competition was a 34 year old guy. I did not notice anything special from Djokovic till the US open. It's just that he had no competition like he had in the last 2-3 years. Djokovic is in excellent physical shape and there is no young player to challenge him. If Nadal does not step up next year, Djokovic should continue this run for a couple of years more.
