Federer lost

Well he is 30 and going for his what 8th trophy there?

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ lol close 7th.... but im really shocked, he was up 2 sets to 0. very unusual loss for the Fed man.


I hope the same doesnt play out for Nadal....he was up 2 sets to 0 against Fish and he just lost the 3rd set

the Federer we see now is a different Federer from 3-4 years ago. 30 years old is grandfather age in tennis. i get annoyed how people keep bringing up the 178-0 record when up 2 sets. those 178 matches happened during his prime!

yeah, he's pretty much done as the best in the world for the past 1-2 years. still top 4, but i don't see him winning another major.

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ i still think hes got one more major in him....but i still think its an unusual loss to someone like Tsonga (great player) but if it would have been Murray, Nadal, Djokovic. I could totally see it. or even if they had split sets in the beginning.

I have a question....does anyone here think Murray is that great?? i actually dont....but I want to know why everyone on the tennis world does

No. he's being built up because he's British. he'll be viewed differently if he's south american or eastern european

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ yeah, hes been built up for years and years and hes never produced yet the commentators always put him in the mix to be one of the favorites for the tournys. I dont see where they get that when hes never won...

Murray reminds me a lot of a younger Roddick.

A guy who will get deep into majors, but has a hard time winning one. He is young enough to win more than one like Roddick has but I don't see Murray winning more than a couple of majors if any at all with having to deal with Nadal & Djokovic.

Well Sharapovas in the womans final! I wish her the best of luck this time around! I remember the first time around I couldnt stand her, her personality, anything. But Ive grown the like her these past 2 yrs. So Im rooting for her.

 

[buckeyecarriefan]

Well that at least gives me a reason to watch. One of these years I want a Sharapova-Wozniacki final. That would be heaven.


Edit: In case you all haven't realized it, I'm not a huge tennis fan. I just watch the women, and only the ones I think are hot. lol

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ well for whatever your reason may be, at least youre giving the sport some more viewership! haha

Andy Murray is managed by Simon Fuller

I've always loved to watch Sharapova play because she plays with such intensity- when will the
women's final be on TV ?

Once the Williams sisters retire it will be a very long time before any American male or female wins a major or any other tournament to be honest.

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ no doubt about that, itll be a sad day in tennis when one retires and then finally the other. I always enjoy watching them play and appreciate what theyve done for American tennis

 

[Grace_Of_God]

Djokovic is in the final and with his win today he officially takes the #1 ranking away from Nadal no matter what happens in the rest of the tourny
