Muloghonto Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 At this rate, the way Djokovic seems to be running out of gas and Murray is also wonky, would it be too crazy to think of a Nadal-Federer 1-2 at the year end ranking ? I think after Wimbledon we will have a good picture on how the rankings will shape up. If Federer can win another grand-slam and go deep in the grass court tourneys, he'd be a strong favorite IMO, if Nadal has a sizeable lead over Fed by Cincinnati, he'd be the favourite in my books. Murray's #1 campaign is in a 'do or die mode' right now, coz he has so much points to defend from Wimbledon onwards. Djoker is looking very out of gas and if he fails to defend his FO/go deep he might just drop out of top 4 by the time Wimbledon rolls around. Both Federer and Nadal have virtually zero points to defend in the las half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't seen Nada doing well on hard court and grass season with all the youngsters including Kyrgios around and players like Thiem etc also who would stop him early. Yes, French Open is his I guess. Will be very hard for anyone to stop him there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Nadal wins Monaco and also special mention to Rohan Bopanna who too beat a solid Spanish duo of Lopez/Lopez to win the Monaco Masters. Huge win for Rohan after series of bad results. Nadal looking good. Muloghonto and Brettcat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muloghonto Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Barcelona open shaping up to be Nadal vs Murray/Thiem. Exciting ! I'd love to measure Murray against Rafa on clay, as this would be the first real test of Murray this year and I'd also love to see Thiem face Nadal and measure the 'next big guy on clay' against the ultimate clay master.

kumar713 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Murray knocked out by Thiem. Hope Thiem wins this now. Nadal won't win French open. He had an easy draw in Monte carlo. He is still hitting too short even for clay. Can't get away with this even on clay against a good player. 500 tourneys meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is the favourite, because no other stalwart is doing well either. Murray and Djokovic are the only ones, on paper, who can challenge Nadal on clay and they are having horrid years so far. Wawrinka and Thiem won't start as favourites either, not unless they destroy Nadal atleast once on clay before the FO. kumar713 and Brettcat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 ^Nadal is favorite, I don't want him to win or I should say, I rather see a guy like Thiem or Wawrinka win, but I must say Nadal is favorite for French Open again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumar713 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Nadal wins Barcelona again. If he wins a masters before FO he will be pretty confiident about his chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat_wicket_bully Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 The real question is who can defeat Nadal at FO and honestly the answer is no one currently. FO is Nadals to lose this year lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FO is Nadals to lose this year lol Stranger things have happened. Nadal is no longer unbeatable on clay, though he may look that way this year due to serious downturn in Djokovic and Murray's game. However, Nadal is no spring chicken. Clay is the most unforgiving surface and Nadal has jam-packed schedule. he played two weeks in a row, in Monaco and Barcelona. He will play in Madrid and Italy before FO. If Nadal isn't careful, he might risk burnout by French Open. If he wins/goes deep in Madrid, i can see Nadal skipping the Italian open to recharge for FO. IMO, Nadal's biggest threat this year will be in the form of Wawrinka, Thiem, Goffin and his own energy level. kumar713 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda-esque Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Can't see anyone taking three sets from Nadal on clay at this moment. Federer will have to win Wimby or US open to keep his lead. Cricketics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 After 2 cakewalk draws, Dull finally gets a somewhat tricky draw in Madrid. Wanna see if Kyrgios can do some damage to him. kumar713 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumar713 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Vajda didn't get the credit he deserved for helping out Nole. Becker got more credit in short span. Truly an end of an era, will be odd not to see Marian & his team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
