Anyways, I'm actually concerned for tomorrow.. don't what to expect from Rafa at all. The dude could get stomped early or steamroll everyone and win it all, absolutely unpredictable.

Bro if you would love Rafa too we'd be matching in all sports :D

Cmon, let him find his way into your heart... He's all passion baby.

[poido123]

Wow the tennis on Too? Sports heaven atm :lol

Federer has always been strong on grass, but his best days are behind him.

Guys like Nadal and djokovic are in their prime, Murray hasn't been in the same form since his Wimbledon win last year.

Still think it's Nadal or novaks to lose. I think it even suits Nadal this year, the courts look slower which will benefit Nadal imo

[imdaman99]

Nadal has looked terrible last 2 years in Wimbledon and scrub guys have gotten famous for bouncing him out so I'm hella nervous. I think if Nadal gets through the 1st week he will roll. If he loses early, I got nobody to root for except that Fed does not add to his collection :oldlol:

Let's go Rafa :rockon:

[imdaman99]

FCKING shit. Nadal lost 1st set. It's happening again :facepalm

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Marlo you're a Nadal hater? :biggums:
NAdal is a clueless clown, has no sportmanship and would be stuck at 8-9 slams if they didnt slow down ALL surfaces JUST FOR HIM.
look how hes struggling against this choking retard Klizan right now.
needed Klizan to choke to still win this first round match on a real surface:roll: :roll: :roll:

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Bro if you would love Rafa too we'd be matching in all sports :D

sorry no way. hes super lame, there are at least 20 more skilled players than him i history a<nd arguably 10 + on the tour right now.
dude is all muscle and stamina( why tho:rolleyes: ) and benefits MAJORLY from all surfaces being slowed down. hes more of a marathon runner than a tennis player.
of course if you appreciate his work ethic i see how hes likeable but hes just a defensive grinder and moonballer imo:confusedshrug: :confusedshrug:

[Marlo_Stanfield]

against an absolute super clown too
second round vs Rosol will be Rafas bye:applause:

Absolutely not. Nadal owes that 1 hit wonder and is gonna beat him in 4 sets max. Nadal is on a roll this match, so hopefully he breezes through the rest of the way and than Lukas is gonna get his :rockon:

:roll: at you calling Nadal clueless. Who is he clueless against? He was clueless against Djoko for a year and guess what now? He is beating him in all the GS finals. If anyone is clueless, it's Fed against Nadal. Maybe clueless is not the word, BALLSless. There you go. Nadal is the mentally strongest person in the history of the Sport, accept it :pimp:

He ain't even mad doe

[bdreason]

It isn't just the speed of the grass that effects Nadal, it's the bounce. Nadal relies on forcing his opponents into errors by hitting high bouncing, top spin shots (typically to their backhand). The grass surface has the least amount of bounce, and favors guys who hit hard, flat shots.

[Dresta]

****ing roidhead he is.

Outside of French Open, Wilmbledon is his 2nd most successful in terms of getting to the Final. He lost to Fed twice but beat him in the greatest match ever played. What are you implying? He's been cold there lately, but even in 2011 he beat Murray on his way to the Final. Djokovic had his number that year, otherwise he would have 3 trophies there.

What I'm saying is, he's had success there in the past :confusedshrug:

I was simply stating how the grass surface specifically effects Nadal's game. He's a great player, so obviously he's had success on every surface. In my opinion, only Djoker should be favored over him in this tourney... but it isn't going to be as easy to defend and force errors on this grass surface.

As a former coach and player in tennis, I can tell that you really have no clue what you're talking about.

Rafael is a special player, mental strength and game only matched by few. He is nearly on the Mj level of killer competitiveness.

His timing on the forehand takes a lot of skill. He whips around that ball at lots of different angles, has incredible footwork and an amazing knack to fight out of tough situations.

Rafael will go down as top 3 all time players imo

he has ONE skilled shot and that is not that special if he only trained that shot since age 10. his killer forhand( which he can only really use as a counter or when opponent is to short.
in terms of skill he not even close to the best guys who are playing right now, yet alone all time.
of course his accomplishments make him at least top 10 all time but he is a very one dimensional player.
always grinding, always moonballing and rarely really offensive.
endless stamina( i wonder how that is possible when other guys like Murray and Djokovic train just as hard:rolleyes: ) and is FAVORED by surface changes. These changes have been made to make his rivalry with Federer more competetive even when he was still young. the ATP changed their surfaces to benefit Rafas playstyle.
Many true tennis fans agree with me and dont like the guy because of this fact, because he fakes injuries and is generally a terrible sportsman. healthy NAdal is still undefeated:rolleyes: .
And yes, his killer instinct is absolutely GOAT like, i agree.
if Federer had the same he would have won 20 slams already at least.
still Nadal will never be as good as Federer.
even at this age Federer is doing things Nadal wouldnt even dream of doing on a tennis court

Nadal is playing Rosol next game.
Rosol could roast that pig easily if he doesnt choke( Nadals relentlessness makes opponents choke at least once a game tho).
If Nadal reaches the second eek its his to lose because the already slow grass will be like clay by that time

And he's saying that's wrong considering Wimbledon may perhaps be his 2nd most successful major :confusedshrug:

Good post, for the last sentence, why wouldn't he be top 3 all time already?

[Marlo_Stanfield]

cuz hes a one trick pony, 9 clay court grinding titles of his 14 slams. he just plays in the weakest ever clay era.
Sampras is above him and imo Rosewall,Bjorg Laver and Emerson too. i would put some other guys over him as well but thats just me being biased:coleman:

[bdreason]

There are a lot of factors involved in winning a tournament. There is no doubt that the grass surface is the least conducive to Nadal's style of play.

[gigantes]

Sloan Stevens already out. :cry:
on the plus side, maybe it will help her grow up. last time she crashed out of a tourney early she sounded like she might finally be realising what a spoiled brat she's been.

i think she could take some lessons from venus on how to go from a brat to a classy / dedicated player.


i wouldn't mind seeing muzza or fed win this year. for murray it would be a return to form after a crappy past year... for federer it would be a nice way to say 'never write off a legend', like what happened with sampras (and connors) in prior years.

If you were calling Nadal a one trick pony, you would be overlooking his elite footwork and fitness, his ability to win pressure matches, his strength of mind, the timing to generate the power that he does on the forehand, an underrated backhand, an improved serve, an improved volley game etc.

To have won on all surfaces he must be doing something right. You can't be a one trick pony and win on all surfaces in grand slams.

are you dumb??
if you really know tennis then you know that ALL surfaces have been slowed down to make his rivalry with Federer more vital.
not only that but nearly all the points you mentioned just show that he is a great Claycourter.
and no hes still a bad server, his backhand is pretty shitty and his volley game is maybe above average.
Nadal is Stamina, mental strength and a forehand with HUGE topspin.
thats it.
hes also a match-up nightmare for his only real rival, Federer, because he can attack Federers one-handed backhand constantly with his lame ass top spin moon balls until it breaks down.
to bad Federer was to arrogant to ever train a THBH or Dull would have 10 slams max and Fed would have 20.
whatever Nadal IS a one trick pony and his lame antics and injury faking(countless times already) aside, it is pretty impressive how he won 14 slams with his limited talent :applause:

[imdaman99]

It's confirmed. Marlo is full retard when it comes to all sports :oldlol:

Nadal is a warrior and a fighter and doesn't go down easy. To consider him a 1 trick pony is ludicrous. I wish I was a 1 trick pony that could sleaze my way to 14+ grand slams :lol and owning all my rivals. Djokovic can continue beating him at Masters, but Nadal has reversed their rivalry in grand slams

Limited talent + unlimited heart = 14+ majors... I think he'll take it :pimp:

Azarenka out in the 2nd round. Not a huge surprise because she's coming back from injury.

the djoker is probably the coolest, smartest, funniest, kindest player i've ever seen.

agassi is still my all-time fave, and i get that every player is bound to have haters, but when a little kid goes from dodging bombs in a warzone to becoming the #1 world player in his sport for two whole years... that's pretty damn special IMO

That's a nice thing to do, but does he do the same thing if Step is up 40-30 with break point? I doubt it, but you never know.

[Wade3]

Fed looked good today but I know how this is gonna play out. He can maybe reach the Semis, he'll get my hopes up and then Rafa will wear him out and break him down

I just want one more slam :cry:

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Fed had some of the most insane stats ever today. totally crazy.
25 aces in 3 sets, 44 Winners and only 5 Unforced errors:biggums:
4/6 Break Points, 91% points won on first serve:biggums:
Muller is a scrub but to not need one tiebreak against this servebot is impressive.
Fed could very well win WB but we all know he will fold again against Roiddull.
Roiddull is unstoppable in the second week after the grass turned into mud:coleman:

[imdaman99]

Nadal out! Oh shieeetttt! GOAT right? hahahahaha GTFO!
No he's not GOAT yet. Give it a couple of years :cheers:

It's obvious his best days on Grass are behind him though. He struggles to get out of the 1st week and someone who's GOATing can beat him. The kid looks good, hope he doesn't bow out in the next round and please put up a fight against Fed too.

Fed is smiling while watching the Swiss-Argentina game :lol

[Carbine]

Roger won two slams after he turned 28. Nadal not winning at Wimbledon is really a non-story.

If his expectations are win every slam or you're not the GOAT, those are some very very unrealistic and unfair standards to be held to.

[Kujo]

Kyrgios is the real deal. Quite the impressive performance from a 19 year old. His serve, and forehand are lethal. Moves pretty well for a big guy too.

He's up against my boy Raonic now. This will be a fascinating match. Great opportunity for Raonic to get his first GS SF, but I thinking Krygios will win. I hope I'm wrong.

Nadal will never win Wimbledon again imho.

[dunksby]

Prime time for Djokovic to snatch another GS.

[imdaman99]

Now that Rafa is out, I care less. But I'll take a Murray repeat or Djokovic win.
Get it done fellas, you both are in your grass peaks.

[Carbine]

It would be cool to see one of the young guns win it (Roanic or the guy who beat Nadal) and would be REALLY cool to see Roger win Wimbeldon one last time.

[Mr Clutch Melo]

Everybody know how much Nadal loves soccer. He didnt really care about this tournament anyway:lol

Dulltards in ruins as Dull flames out yet again on a real tennis surface against a talented shot maker.
9 RG tho:bowdown: :bowdown:

If Fed can make it past Stan he'll be in the Final. Fed won't lose to Raonic or Kyrgios. Not even old man Fed is gonna lose to a 19y old kid.

[Magic731]

Kyrgios will probably win the whole damn thing.

[pinhead]

Kyrgios will probably win the whole damn thing.

I will tell you who is not winning it: An American :roll: :roll:

[Shade8780]

Rooting for Federer to win again, but if not, I wouldn't mind Kyrgios or Raonic winning.

Apparently Kyrgios used to be a basketball player, but chose tennis over it.

[jamal99]

Did you guys catch this shot by Kyrgios? It was lucky as hell, but still...

If Grisho blows the lead ill slit my wrists

I root for Genie in the women's.

And I would love for one of the young guns aka Kyrgios, Dimitrov, or even Raonic to win now that Murray is out. Just don't wanna see Fed sneak in another slam without going through Nadal.

Watching old man Federer rope-a-dope prime Wawrinka today was a thing of beauty. Fed may have lost a couple steps physically, but his technical abilities are still the best in Tennis.

[DeuceWallaces]

I like Fed but Wawrinka looked like he was about to keel over after the 2nd set. He was clearly sick or not right in some way. The Aussie also got a raw deal having to play back to back days.

They both looked bad. I felt like Fed was given so many chances to just dominate (6-1 or 6-2) his way through the last two and a half sets and could never take advantage. He still got it done in the end though.

I hope whoever wins the Fed/Raonic match takes it all.

if he survives Raonics servebotting, which i assume he will, he will probably meet Djokovic in the final.

Federer has and will always be a huge choker, especially on break points.
that he still is GOAT and will maybe stay GOAT for a damn long time is even more impressive.

Door is open for Federer to close the lights on Nadal ever catching his greatness.

Federer, the people believe in you. You are the peoples champ.

Two Canadians are in both men's and women's semi-finals!! :banana: :rockon:

Genie seems to have a better chance to win it all than Roanic though since he has to face Federer, who even is over the hill can still be dangerous, and possibly Djokovic in the final.

Halep has been on a tear lately... really surprised to see her lose.

Love me some Genie though.

Djoker will stomp Fed in the final.

****ing Kyrgios. Ruined the dream final...at least Grigor is still there.

[Carbine]

Kyrgios really surprised me yesterday, in a bad way.

He was hitting monster first serves all game vs Nadal. About as well as you can serve. 130+ with accuracy.

He was down in the 115 range most of the game vs. Roanic.

He was hitting great forehands vs Nadal, he hit very few vs Roanic.

2 days rest versus 0 days rest.
Nadal was basically a few points in tiebreakers away from being Fed's daddy again :oldlol: Assuming he beats Raonic with 0 days rest of course.

Schedule definitely favored Murray and Federer. Wawrinka had to play 3 days in a row :facepalm

[BurningHammer]

Djoker is in the Wimbledon final once again! :applause:

[Sarcastic]

This dude has literally no chance vs Federer.

Has a huge server. Gets broken in first game. :biggums:

[bdreason]

Fed cruises through Raonic. :applause:

[dunksby]

A Djokovic vs Federer matchup would be so welcome :cheers:
Nice, now we have a proper finals. Hoping for a Djokovic win although I could see Federer getting on his nerves and steal two sets quickly.

[InfiniteBaskets]

Djokavic has got to be the heavy favorite on Sunday. Djoker in his prime and Federer two steps too slow. Only way Federer wins is if he plays picture perfect tennis (not the way he's played the past two matches imo).

[fiddy]

Djoker is in the Wimbledon final once again! :applause:
Well he shouldnt be, he got outplayed

no chance for that arrogant piece of Canadian ass

Typical gutless north american performance on the big stage. Unlike Murray last year, who rose to the occasion on the biggest stage.

Womens tennis is an utterly pathetic joke:facepalm

[pinhead]

USA still > England in their own sport doe. :D

I don't think so butt muncher. USA have not beaten England in over 20 years. Just because you got out of a very easy group whilst England were in the group of death whilst experimenting for the future.

Let's go Djoker :applause:

Dude's lost too many slam finals in the past couple years, he deserves this one.

[imdaman99]

Get it done Djoker. You need to start winning slam finals, get back on it by winning Wimbledon.

You can't be a tier 1.5 great by having a losing record in Finals.

[bdreason]

Fed is gonna have to have to play perfect tennis to beat Djoker.

Dude is the Lendl of this era. Unreal talent, but just has this inexplicable inconsistency in the big moments. One match he'll fight off like 10 match points and win without even breaking a sweat, the next match he'll get stomped into oblivion in the clutch moments. He needs this match big time. Usually he's losing to Nadal, which eases the pain a bit knowing that you lost to the best...if he loses another final but this time to grandpa Federer, he might not recover mentally.

You kidding me? Lendl had 100x the mental fortitude that Djokovic has. Lendl's only weakness was grass courts, but that's because they were actually fast back then. You actually needed an at-net game to win Wimbledon back then. Lendl would have several Winby titles if he played in this era.

[Bless Mathews]

What's Wimbledon?

And Djokovic doesn't have mental fortitude? The guy is the most consistent player on tour since 2011, with some of the greatest clutch moments in the history of the sport. There aren't many people who can do what he did in the 2012 AO Final and 2011 USO SF. He isn't pre-2012 Murray.

And what do you mean by several? Because between prime Federer pretty much owning Wimbledon for most of 2003-2009, Nadal when he was a beast on grass from 2006-2011, 2011 Djokovic, and even 2012-2013 Murray to an extent, Lendl would have a tough time getting more than 2 Wimby titles in this era.

[Goon Time]

hey look, bless mathews is trying to prove he's hood again. nobody from the hood would know what the worlds biggest tennis tournament was so you can see what he's done here. i see clean through your fake ass bless

[BigBoss]

Rooting for Roger :pimp:

[ArbitraryWater]

In 2011 & 2012 AO Djokovic looked like the most mentality tough player ever :lol

Agreed, he desperately needs this... If Rafa doesn't win, this guy should, he deserves it.... Win 10+, cement your place in the top 7 all time.

Djokavic dictating things, even thought groundstrokes have been shaky.

go novak

Djokovic has become the LeBron James of Tennis. :facepalm


you were saying what exactly do you mean by this ?

[Qwyjibo]

That poor tiebreak might be it for Federer. Too bad. He's not doing anything on Djokovic's service games anyways.

[imdaman99]

Fed chokes in the tiebreaker to go down 1-2 :D
Even with ref help he chokes, does he realize he's only supposed to choke against Nadal??? :facepalm

[Mr Clutch Melo]

Federer has had so many chokejobs in the past 2-3 years and he still get passes?:rolleyes:

This just shows why Nadal is the GOAT:bowdown:

[RagaZ]

Finals performances.

novak will take it ...federer is just relying on his ace right now

He's one month away from being 33 years old. He already has 17 titles.
That's why nobody cares.

:no:

[Qwyjibo]

And how is this a choke by Federer? He's playing someone who is clearly better than him right now. Some of you guys are trolling hard or just really stupid.

[veilside23]

Finals performances.

[yobore]

great match back to back breaks

[hateraid]

Lol, this match thread is so ISH. Dictated by whoever is winning

[bdreason]

Don't think Fed has the stamina to win in 5 sets. He's already slowed down here in the 4th.

[veilside23]

its still a great performance never the less... dude is already 32 years old... so nothing to be ashamed of win or lose.

[imdaman99]

3 straight breaks and finally a hold by Djoko.

Fed is not choking the whole match but he did in the 3rd set tiebreaker.

And Fed has looked like a 1st serve servebot up until he finally broke Djoko 2 games ago.

[bdreason]

Fed showing the heart of a champion. :bowdown:

[imdaman99]

Wow Fed. Impressive but don't get broken back again though

[veilside23]

great match

[bdreason]

Fed refusing to go down.

[yobore]

This has all time great match written all over it. First and third GOAT (sorry nostalgics tennis is in constant improvement) in 5 sets after this fourth set.

[bdreason]

Fed to serve for the set. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:



Even if he pushes it to 5 sets, it's going to be an uphill battle. Djoker looks noticeably fresher in long rallies. Fed needs to come to net a bit more and shorten the points.

[RagaZ]

When was the last time a player lost a GS Final after having a MP?

Djokovic will win.

[bdreason]

Feds serve is the best I've ever seen it. 27 aces against Djoker is amazing.

[veilside23]

fifth set

[imdaman99]

Djokovic choking the match away, up 5-2 and serving for the match at 5-3 and gets broken twice and loses 4th set.

Big choke there :facepalm

[veilside23]

Feds serve is the best I've ever seen it. 27 aces against Djoker is amazing.


this is like homecourt for fed... djoker just need to believe ....

First 5-set Wimbledon Final since that Federer-Roddick final in 2009.

[veilside23]

Djokovic choking the match away, up 5-2 and serving for the match at 5-3 and gets broken twice and loses 4th set.

Big choke there :facepalm


nerves... its still fed dude has won it as many times here not easy to beat him here.. but novak can do it

[Warfan]

GOAT :bowdown: :bowdown: This guy is incredible

[bdreason]

Djoker with a "medical timeout" so he can get a massage. Hopefully Tennis eventually addresses these bogus timeouts.

[Andrei89]

WoW ISH users must really be real life scum who are frustrated beyond repair .

How can you call Djokovic who has won Major Tournaments, has been Number 1 several times, has made the finals of a major tournament many times,be called by these fat losers Mental Midget?

Are we serious?:roll: :roll: :roll:

[bdreason]

Epic battle. :applause:

[Warfan]

2 huge holds of serve from both guys. Great tennis:applause:

[GatorKid117]

I'm going to feel bad for whoever has to lose this. Fantastic play by both guys.

And its Fed...

So sad :'(

[yobore]

Wonder what the statistics are on who wins non-tiebreak sets depending on who starts serving. Seems like a big psychological advantage to serve first and know you just have to break and its over.

[yobore]

did djokovic just eat the grass

[Warfan]

Great game :applause:
Sad about Fed losing but Novak deserved the win

[Qwyjibo]

Damn.

Almost a massive choke by Djokovic but the better player won in the end. Too bad. It would be nice to see Federer win one more major. He's probably never going to win another French Open and the hardcourts will be really tough. One last miracle run at Wimbledon is his best chance.

[RagaZ]

That missed smash killed him :mad:

[bdreason]

Just too much defense from Djoker. Feds serve really failed him at the end as well.

[imdaman99]

Djokovic wins and takes over the #1 seed :applause:

Short term this sucks for Nadal since he loses #1, but in the grand scheme of things he's chasing Fed's 17 slams.

I'll take it, Vamos!

**** that shit. Shitty last game. Really wanted to Fed to get one more.

Nadal just needs to remain the King of Clay to eclipse Federer and maybe sneak in another title somewhere.

Tough when you cant get a first serve in.

[imdaman99]

Nadal just needs to remain the King of Clay to eclipse Federer and maybe sneak in another title somewhere.
Since he is horrible at Wimbledon/grass now, I think he is done there :oldlol:

He is more than capable of winning at USO or Australian Open though. 18 might have been too many :rockon:

First time I've seen Fed's kids. Cute girls.

Sorry, but just winning the French every year isn't going to cut it. Especially if Nadal continues to get knocked out early in the other Majors.

Nadal is coming, deal with it. Future GOAT when he wins #16-17 since he has thoroughly dominated his biggest rival :applause:

Deal with it, he solved Federer like no one else can. The sooner you accept, the easier it will be for you :cheers:

[bdreason]

Nice speech from Djoker. :applause:

[bdreason]

Early? Only at Wimbledon.



Prime Fed didn't miss a single Major QF on any surface (he holds the record for consecutive QF's and SF's in a Major). Prime Fed was #1 in the World for 6 straight years. Part of being great, is being consistent.

Federer :(

[imdaman99]

He'll only reply when it fits his agenda.

strange... my man won and got the monkey off his back, but i'm still disappointed for fed. would have liked to see the old guy have at least one last hurrah.

still, he's playing much better this year, so maybe next time.

[pinhead]

I wanted Federer so he could get 8 Wimbledons. Much better than that American Punk Sampras who only had a big serve.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

Federer was so clutch today, didnt believe he could be this clutch at this stage.
until he went full retard on that overhead smash and then started choking in the end of the 5th.
he got robbed of possible BPs by the umpire in the 3rd set too.
but hats off to Djokovic.
he was the better player today and deserved this. winning against Roger is never easy on grass:applause: :applause:
and for Roger:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
BY FAR the greatest player of all time its not even remotely close. no matter how many RG the mudpig Dull wins in the future:coleman:
