Yep, we will never know. Fast grass, I think guys like Isner, Raonic, Anderson and Roddick should benefit more than Fed does. They should be the ones complaining, not Fed or his fans.

So? Was Rafa playing his best tennis in 2017?

Joe, did Rafa need to improve on that Kyrgios match having to beat Tsonga, Sousa and Querrey? None of them could make Rafa raise his level! And the scary part is that Rafa need not even play his best to beat […]

Nope, not on slow HCs – AO2009, 2012, 2014 to name a few. Fed’s best during those times weren’t good enough to beat Rafa.

So now the court becomes faster, when Pella said is slow? You’re the one playing out there or Pella?

Hi littlefoot,

If anything, Rafa’s win over Djoko at the Rome final would’ve already driven all doubts out of his head. No doubt that’s on clay, but Rafa was lacking in confidence even on clay, but he manag […]

Melbourne? That was the first tournament coming back from injury, Wimbledon is after his successful French Open! It’s more like fat hope, that Rafa would play like that AO final this year.

You talked about Fed […]

Joe, I’ve already explained that but you simply refused to believe it; Rafa himself said as much.

I think playing against Rafa is several steps up from Kei and Berrettini, so I doubt Fed could play that well t […]

I actually hope for a Rafa vs Djoko final. I want to see Rafa’s offensive plus defensive game against Djoko and see how Rafa overcomes Djoko with that game.

I feel Djoko can be overpowered, but it has to be d […]

All I want is for Agut to extend Djoko to four or five sets, exposing Djoko’s weaknesses in the process. If Djoko Beats Agut in straight sets then too bad, Djoko hasn’t much weakness for Agut to take advantage of.

The AO final has no bearings on this Wimbledon. Rafa had it easy at the AO this year, beating upstarts and young guns (De Minaur, Tiafoe, Tsitsipas). He’s also short of match plays after a few months not c […]

Agreed!

I was disappointed with the way Goffin played among all the quarter finalists. At least Querrey made use of his big weapons (serve and FH) win or loss.

Goffin simply came with a poor or no game […]

Fed had a hard time vs Kei, against Rafa it’ll be worse for him.

Rafa is able to handle big serves and great serves throughout the event so he’s ready for Fed.

I agree with Ricky – Rafa in four; Djoko in four.

True Amy. To think that we were staring at the Long hard draw for Rafa the day the Wimbledon draw was made known! Rafa has come a long way, navigating through such a dangerous route to the SF.

Two more […]

If Rafa continues to mess up his own service games, then he’ll have a hard life vs Fed; even if he Beats Fed to reach the final, he’ll have a bigger problem if he faces Djoko in the final.

TBH, I don’t think […]

Rafa should try not hitting with much pace to Querrey; Querrey seems unable to handle variation of pace in the shots.

Fed just finished off Kei in four sets, as expected, in two hours and 36 mins. .

Why is Rafa not using his FH DTL when Querrey is camping at the BH corner? Make Querrey run, Rafa!

Every service game of Rafa is such a torture! Why is he serving so poorly from end of first set onwards? He’s having too much respect for Querrey’s serve and FH imo. Another messy service game!

No, Rafa held serve easily and even broke Querrey’s serve at the beginning of first set but he tightened up when serving for the set and created a mess out of it. He’s fortunate that he need not go to a TB in the […]
