There's no debate that Federer is the greatest ever for me but if Nadal wins this, beating the top 3 along the way then he gets an awful lot closer to challenging Fed's legacy. I'm seeing a Djokovic v Murray final and Murray to win it. As Wimbledon is Federer's only chance of adding another Slam to his collection, it won't be this year barring a miracle set of results.
Just doesn't quite work that way. Whilst they should have a harder game than Murray, you're kidding yourself if you think it'll be like THAT final. These are some of the most finely tuned athletes in the world and it won't be an all-out marathon. And if Tsonga turns up he can easily take Murray to five.
No of course, but you'd have to think that in all likelihood Nadal v Federer will be a gruelling game and Murray's game against Tsonga considerably less so.
As I said, it totally depends on which Tsonga turns up. He's more than capable of going all five with Murray, and just as capable of losing in three.
Gruelling for Federer yes as he won't beat him. Nadal has barely played a grass court match in 2 years so I guess who knows how he'll perform. It's grass so you can never write Federer off but from what I've seen this year he's fallen behind the "top 3".
If he faces Murray in the final I'd have it at 50/50 I really would. Djokovic beat Murray in his favourite conditions at the Aussie where he is so good it cannot be explained. Murray has beaten him at the US and last year at the Olympics, and hopefully that SW19 crowd will inspire him again.
I would say it was Djokovic who wasn't as good as he was earlier. I'll still pick nadal to beat him. Murray obviously has improved and I'll give him a much better chance now but still nadal will be the favourite imo.
Nadal has a much better head to head record and has beaten Federer in finals of 3 different grand slams including beating him at Wimbledon where as Federer has only ever beaten him at Wimbledon. And it's not like Nadal is shite on other surfaces mind. He has reached the finals of all the slams at least twice.
True, but then people will point out that without Nadal around, Fed would have around5 French opens too..
We're very lucky to be witnessing two of the very greatest tbh. Lord knows how many slams Djokovic would have won had neither of them been there
Djokovic's draw. Even though he's not a natural grass courter, If he doesn't make it to the final, then he might as well give up on winning Wimbledon again.
It is.. 27-28 are the peak for a tennis player.. 30 and you are done.. He will do well to win another slam ( i hope he does)
If you want tickets for Wednesday go on ticket master at 9am tomorrow morning.
Then you'd better hope she gets injured or is distracted, because there's no one in the WTA who's going to stand up to her game and beat her. She's just so far ahead of even the #2&3 players is unreal.
