zep1706 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 So I got the prediction for the bottom half right, was too bold with the top half. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooda Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Nadal is losing tonight. Berdych is playing really well and Nadal is still at 70-75%. For the first time in years I am picking Berdych over Nadal. Good call ! Only ssems obvious in hindsight hah. I like T-Berd and the way he plays his tennis its sad that he can not quite get past the very best though. Still , been a consistent top 10 player for a while now, credit to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Berdych has everything in him to be a grandslam winner. He just hasn't achieved something what Murray and Wawrinka have done outside the top three Djoker, Fed and Nadal. Berdych will though be a grandslam winner I must say soon if he keep playing like this. Andy Murray's victory wasn't easy for him today even though he did bagel him.

Berdych might become a GS champion if he gets a super lucky draw but if he is playing Nadal (not the 20% one we saw here) or Djokovic, he is not winning any. He can't keep up with these guys from the baseline and he does not have a good enough game to attack the net. Also he is mentally not tough enough. I am really excited for the other semi tonight, should be a great one. I wouldn't be surprised if Stan beats Djokovic again. He has the game to do it on these faster courts although Djokovic is the favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippoSucks Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Berdych will win a grandslam soon but not this one. Djokovic has pretty much won this one if he gets past Wawrinka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all hypothetical stuff and we can only predict and hence I said that only time will decide but I do see him atleast converting one of them. I am not sure if I can say them say about Ferrer who is such a hard worker but he will always remain that No. 5 who misses out everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketics Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Let's not write off Murray. He has been really good this tournament, especially making come backs in sets or games. Now with already 2 grandslams. Murray can stand and fight and actually beat any player in the big final. He has actually made that adjustment which he was not able to pre London Olympics.

Berdych has not played a final of an important tournament in years and has lost 10 straight semis. He is not the most reliable player towards the business end of a tournament. He is not young either, what makes you think that what he could not do before 29, he would do after 29-30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonix768 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm more intrigued to see Maria vs. Serena than Men's Singles.. This is Maria's best chance against Serena, as she is in the peak form (won Brisbane Open without dropping a set, here just dropped one) and Serena carrying a slight injury/illness and no where near her best in this tournament. Maria just need to forget her mental block and ignore any of the stats like she hadn't beat Serena for a decade and Serena never lost a AO final.

Raghav_12 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have a feeling that she might beat Serena this time. Now Maria knows "who Sachin is" so she might beat Serena for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep1706 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Djokovic wins it in 5, but a really awful match. Terrible quality from both of them. I think Murray will beat Djokovic in the final. He is playing better at the moment and he is hungrier of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep1706 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 After this AO the top 4 rankings would be occupied by the big 4 for the first time since 2012. Wawrinka will drop to 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 After this AO the top 4 rankings would be occupied by the big 4 for the first time since 2012. Wawrinka will drop to 9. This is where I feel that some where there is a flaw in tennis rankings. Wawrinka, even after reaching semi finals will have a huge drop in ranking, only because he loses his points for not able to reach and win Australian Open this year. He still did fantastic here to reach Semis but faces the price of losing the semis to a huge drop in ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raghav_12 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I would love to see Djokovic win this one. He is in the top league of tennis players of this century along with Rafa and Federer and current count of his majors doesn't do justice to the fact how good a player he is. He should end his career with a count of 10+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
