Well Ricky, even if you’re talking about a single shot, Rafa is also good at that, if not why he doesn’t always need to go to TBs to beat those big servers? Certainly that means he’s able to return their serves to […]

Why don’t you look at the stats at the atp website on the players themselves? Clearly, Rafa has better stats on the return points and return games won whilst Fed has better serving stats.

Laughable, Nadline for sure will disagree with you, and not only her but most fans on this site. The stats supported what I said, Rafa is among the top two or three in terms of returned games won, Fed is not among them.

Come on, both Fed and Rafa got broken and did break their opponents serve in almost all their matches save one; there’s no proof that Fed could hold serve better than Rafa. Also, Fed has not met an opponent of R […]

Dear Friend, if Fed could get frustrated by Stan, then more so by Rafa!

Rafa hardly got broken here at RG, what make you think he would suddenly be broken by Fed, when Fed isn’t a great returner of serve to s […]

2012 onwards, Fed was going downhill, until his revival in 2017 to AO2018. Do you expect a Stakhovsky to win at Wimbledon 2013, or Robredo the USO2013, or a Gulbis the FO2014, or Millman the USO2018, or perhaps […]

I would think he’ll be a handful for Djoko. Thiem could overpower Djoko imo. He’s a bit like a Stan, a younger version. He does improve a bit on his varieties, not afraid to move to the net. Djoko needed two […]

His slices are not effective against Rafa. Even on grass they’re not effective against Rafa, what more on clay?

Please, on Fed’s racket? Yeah right, 10% of it, the rest of 90% will be on Rafa’s racket! Alright I’ll make it 13.33%, that’s how much Fed won on clay against Rafa! Read what TWN had written about ‘on who’s rac […]

Extreme confidence still got his serve broken by Stan, who’s not even the best returner of serves! Had Stan been a little bit fresher, he would’ve won the third set and Fed would need to go the distance aga […]

Well, if Stan who’s not known to have good ROS, could break Fed’s serve to win a set and almost two sets, I think Rafa will do better to break Fed’s serve more than twice to win the match. Fed despite servi […]

If the Men’s final is on Monday, that means the Men’s SFs will be on Saturday; so Women’s final will then be on Sunday. Fedal will have three days rest before the SF whilst Djoko’s half will have a day’s r […]

As Djoko’s half of the draw will play their QFs tomorrow, so their SF should be played later on Friday to give them time to recover. So, it’s likely their SF will be after the Fedal SF on PC Court.

I think both the men’s SFs and one women’s SF will be on PC Court with the other women’s SF on SL.

I think they have enough time for three matches on PC, provided the weather allows that.

I’m not sure that Djoko could finish off Sasha quickly. Sasha is fond of extending his matches and I doubt Djoko could just do as he pleases against Sasha.

I think both matches may go four sets; and mind you, […]

No and no to both of you, Shireling and Sanju. I want to see Rafa beat whoever to win his 12th FO, and I want to see Rafa meeting and beating Fed at the USO.

As for Wimbledon, even though I wish for Rafa to win […]

Sanju, I watched Rafa’s match vs Kei, the court looked so slow to me; add in Rafa’s heavy topspin ball, its like watching a slow mo movie.

Fed vs Stan, OTOH, looked more like they’re playing on a HC. I think […]

The wind will affect both players, not only Rafa. Rafa has played and won on that court in many years and many times, rain or shine.

And Djoko, always on any surface and any time, not only in 2017.

If Fed is to play uber aggressive tennis, chances are he will make more errors. On a quick HC, maybe Fed will have bigger chance of success, but on slow clay surface, his opponent will have more time to counter […]
