looking ahead

Post by Zvezda_red » Jul Fri 07, 2017 9:08 am

the R16 and QF rounds are all quality matches for the men

Fed & The KING will still meet in one SF and Nadal will someone someone not named Murray in the upper SF

Djokovic has to go through Gulbis, Monfils and Berdych
Federer has to go through MZverev, Dimitrov and Raonic
Nadal has to go through Khachanov, Muller and Cilic
Murray has to go through Fognini, Janowicz and will be upset by Tsonga

So that makes the semis
Nole - Fed
Nadal - Tsonga

finals
Nole - Nadal

and we all know who wins this one

Raonic? He'll get stopped by the younger Zverev (and so will Federer)

Nadal will not survive Cilic (who is on fire on grass this season: seen a bit today, and saw a lot at queens)

My Final: A.Zverev vs. M.Cilic.

you really believe he can get past Nadal in the QF, then possibly Murray in the SFs?

now let's ignore the Zverev prediction for a the time being and assume he get's either Nole or Fed in the final.
you're basically asking him to beat 3 of the Big 4 in one major...never happened before

If Kachanov had not been so impressed by Nadal in Set1, then Rafa could have had a tough evening today...

And murray and his hip... wait until he gets a decent opponent.

And Gulbis... a man on a mission with something to prove..

I did not even consider Fognini as a decent threat on grass and he was close to push Andy into a fifth set...
