Can blake do something funny like chuck a Gonzalez (like in Masters cup). Probably not. When gonzalez beat fed it was such a surprise. Blake has no pressure.
it's gonna be pretty much the same scoreline as the berdych match, with blake being able to compete in the first two sets and challenging federer in every department but not managing to take a set. the third one's easy then.
fed will absolutely kick his ass as he usually does, no brainer.
blake never made a semi final of a granslam, and the first time he has made a quarter final outside flushing meddows. :haha:
no coincidence that blake has made QF on the 2nd US OPEN grand slam on tour(conveniently held in melbourne, australia, the 52nd state of the usa lolll)
The challenge king will win in three, Blake hits the ball exactly to Roger's strike zone, it's too comfortable a match up for Roger, especially on that surface which takes the slice very well and will force Blake to hit up. There could be a love set if Roger's on another serving rush and Blake decides to play " who can whack a first serve the hardest"
Roger will win this easily, maybe one close set but just the one. The other two will be practice sets for Roger. And then James will gush about what an honor it was to share a court with him.
Blake will try to smash balls and hit home runs instead... Federer should win easily (but he has made life rough for himself of late with his lowsy breakpoint conversion rate)... GO ROGER!
Fed will win, probably in 3, but Blake may make one set competitive.
Even though one-sided, Blake v Fed matches are normally good. Blake hits balls at just the right height for Roger so we normally see him at his tip top best
I wonder if we'll just see a handshake or whether they'll incorporate a kiss as well. You just know that Blake will be thinking of heavy petting Roger about five or six games into the match. I expect this will through him completely off his game.
If Blake play defense to surprise Roger, I would get back to my Screen.
ALL I want him to do is to play defense and wait for a chance to hit the clear winner.
Focus and play defense, has to be patience, Do not rush to hit return.
Good luck to James
