MJ- there is no rhyme or reason to which half plays first day. Last year was different than other years.

It’s a totally clear, hot and sunny day in Cinci. That’s the exact conditions that Fed wants. Hot, sunny, and clear= fastest possible conditions. If it’s super humid then that could slow it down a bit, but I don’t […]

I’m Federer should obviously be at least slightly favored in this one. However, while Djokovic hasn’t looked his best this week, neither has Fed. Also, we saw in the Wimby SF just how much Novak is still cap […]

Fed caught an ideal break there! Sad for Goffin. Well, now we get a Fedole/Djokerer Final!

Oh no, Goffin getting massaged on his shoulder.

Just like last time, Fed takes the first set. Hopefully he doesn’t make the same mistakes he did after winning the first set last time!

Damn. Goffin saves 3 set points to send it to tiebreak. Fed has been god awful on break points lately. See, I told you guys not to underestimate Goffin! You can never underestimate a guy who won their previous […]

Wow, gutsy serving from Goffin to save set points!

I think people are underestimating Goffin here… He may very well have shaken off any fear he may have had of Fed at the WTF. As long as Goffin continues to hold serve this easily, he has just as good of a shot […]

Right on all fronts, Lucky.

Or are you trying for a little intentional jinxing, perhaps? Or maybe the ol’ “make it sound like there’s no excuse for Fed to lose, so it looks that much worse if he does lose” routine? 😉😘

Ricky, Hawks going hard at you these days! 🙂

Did you not say the exact same thing for the WTF semis, Hawks? Was Fed not struggling with his game a little going into that match, like today? I’m not saying that your pick isn’t solid, but you sound you thi […]

Cilic loses. NID. I honestly hope that Fed beats Goffin, and then absolutely destroys Novak in the final. It would feel shitty for Novak to win this title having played at such a poor level for his standard. The […]

Haha, of course you are, Ricky! 🙂 Unlike me, you probably get to be there for the entire tournament! At least I assume all the tennis writers do?

Also, Fed still needs to get by Goffin for that to happen, and we all saw what happened last time Fed-Goffin played…

Wow. Cilic is actually competing. Then Nole hands the break back with a double. See, Dimitrov? If you just stay competitive and earn break points, there at least always a chance that the other guy will break down […]

Sidenote- anyone here going to the Open?

Well, imo, all y’all who made Novak in 3 predictions are looking in the best shape right now. It’s expected that Cilic will still lose here- that’s just the reality of it. However, if I’m not mistaken, Cilic w […]

Cheryl- what do you think about the fact that Goffin won their last meeting? Do you think it was a fluke, so to speak? I’m not sure what to think about it… Fed has destroyed him 1 and 2 just a few week prior a […]
