Please, since when Fed could beat Djoko at Wimbledon, after 2012? Fed already struggled against Kei, don’t even need to talk about Djoko. He’ll be hoping to beat Rafa and Agut to beat Djoko to reach the final!

Agut has to hope for another gust of wind blowing during Djoko’s service game!

Agut is so stupid to engage in non stop CC BH rally with Djoko! He’s throwing away all his BP chances! He’s more hoping for Djoko to miss instead of taking risk to change direction of his shots! It could be 3-4 […]

Probably, and that’s why I feel with the roof on, Djoko’s shots won’t be affected by the wind! Djoko has very good records playing indoors, I think better than Fed’s.

Is it windy out there? Why has Djoko’s level dropped so suddenly? I know Agut has upped his level but Djoko is making uncharacteristic errors.

Yeah, at least Fed has to play Rafa and Kei; Rafa to play Fed next. Djoko doesn’t even have to face a top 20 player, don’t even talk about top 10!

I agree, Djoko is feeling bored, trying to add some excitement into the match by losing his serve in the second set!

Djoko really has the blessing of the draw, none of his opponents is one who could make him play out of his comfort zone! A Kyrgios, or Pella, maybe would offer some challenges. As it is, he’s moving e […]

Didn’t see any weakness in Djoko’s game so far – this court really suits him to the T, it plays more like a slow HC, the ball bounces right up to his striking zone, very comfortable for him.

Looks like Djoko in three to me. Agut only knows how to play one style, ie to stay at the baseline going CC in the rallies. Djoko is taking the initiative to move to the net to control the points and forcing […]

Not all doom and gloom imo. The big three will be retiring in a few years, and the Tsitsipas generation will take over from there.

Tsit at 20 has already reached a SF beating one of the big three Fed in the […]

Dubai 2006, Shanghai YEC 2006, 2007, AO2017, Shanghai 2017, Cincy 2013, Basel 2015. (If we don’t consider the WTF surfaces at O2 Arena being quick surfaces). Rafa is 2-5 against Fed on quick HCs. He’s 1-2 aga […]

Nope, watch the matches again, compare Rafa in 2017 to Rafa in 2013 on the HCs. You’re dreaming if you think Fed beat a Rafa at his best on the HCs.

Rafa even got bageled by Kohl in Miami! When Rafa was p […]

Fed won’t be able to execute everything flawlessly against Rafa in best of five! Rafa is playing at a high level, better than his AO2017. His serve is much better now, what he needs to do is to stay calm and a […]

Yes VR, don’t you know Rafa is always at the mercy of his opponent’s racket? Even on clay?

We should be glad though that he managed to win 82 titles (18 slams, 34 Masters and an Olympics Gold medal) and winning […]

Joe, if you think Rafa played his best tennis at IW/Miami, then I must say you’re dreaming. He was dreadful both times. It’s only during the clay season that year that he played his best tennis. On HC its […]

Hi Mira, see my post at 12.50am. Thanks for the links.

Big Al, if you’re assuming that they didn’t slow down the fast grass (from 2002 onwards), then what make you think that Rafa would still be playing the way he’s playing (on slow grass)?

In fact during Rafa’ […]

But Ramara, Fed didn’t win the Madrid indoors that many times when he’s playing there, managed to win it once in 2006 and lost to Nalby in 2007. If indoor HCs favour him, he should be winning there more oft […]

Well, Rafa himself was serving aces (in fact more aces than Fed) this Wimbledon. If the surface is slower this year, then it doesn’t matter to Rafa as he’s serving more aces this year than before.
