Wimbledon R2 WWW: Djokovic vs. Safin

should be an exciting match :)

Djokovic in 3 straight forward sets. :rolleyes:

Great opportunity for Nole to take a revenge on Safin after bitter loss in their single meeting 3 years ago in Melbourne on Rod Laver Stadium: 0-6 2-6 1-6.
It was Djokovic's first match on a big court and Safin's last great tournament :) I didn't know Djokovic and didn't see that match :smash:
I think Djokovic will win this match in 4 sets (possible two tie-break sets).

I hope Safin wakes up in a good mood and gives a beat down in 3.

I hope Safin has one of his crazy good days and beats the living shit out of the faker. :)

well if Berrer could take a set I don't see why Safin can't take one or two :rolleyes:

Djokovic in 3 or 4 if Safin turns it up (way up).

It's sad to say, but these days it would already been an achievement for Safin to win a set.

Too bad he has to play against a top player so early again. It was the same last year when he had to play against Roger in the 3rd round.

Apparently Djokovic didn't played that good in the first two sets of his match against Berrer today, but he will probably step his level up with each round.

well if Berrer could take a set I don't see why Safin can't take one or two :rolleyes:

I think Djokovic will be much more focused playing Safin, like he'll want to prove something. Though, I think Safin could get one if he played a very good set but I don't think he's able to play very well over entire match anymore.

Is it even a question?
Marat couldn't play on grass during his best years, let alone nowadays.

I would love to see Marat win but I would stunned if he did.
Djokovic wins with something like a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 triple bagel job.

should be an exciting match :)

:yeah:
Especially when everybody vote for Djokovic. :lol:

It all depends on which Safin turns up.
So, if Safin plays well he could sneak away with a set :shrug:.

Djokovic in 3

Djokovic, but I voted Safin :)

:yeah:
Especially when everybody vote for Djokovic. :lol:

it's between two AO champions :devil:

I think Nole is a future goat, but on this one I'm taking a chance on Safin. Just for the hell of it ;)

If Safin plays 2 his best!!

SAFIN IN 4/5

Nole in 3.

I would love to see Safin get fired up and unleash some good tennis, but I just don't see that happening anymore....especially in a grass court tourny.

Joker is only warming up !
He playes better after first round !

cmon marat, send this scumbag home

Pete Sampovic kills Marat here in 3 short sharp sets

Being that Safin is the most talented player of all time he should take this in 3.

I hope the scumbag/joker/faker wins.

Is it even a question?
Marat couldn't play on grass during his best years, let alone nowadays.

in 05, he gave fedex a tough match in halle.

marat has game.

he can take out this classless bum

he can take out this
classless bum
scumbag

No, he can't.
Because

I just don't see that happening anymore

:yeah:

Same deal as at the French with Davydenko in R2 - could win but likely will get destroyed.

Is it a real question?

Marat will get his ass cooked badly.

cmon marat, send this scumbag home

:worship: Truly admiring:worship:

in 05, he gave fedex a tough match in halle.

marat has game.

he can take out this classless bum

That was 2005 before his knee actually went, during that tournament he was having slight niggles with it, but he was able to move back then, now he can't really move half as well.

Another chance for Nole to work on his volley game. :yeah:

I want Safin to win but I really cannot see it happening.

This is a joke. Nole def Safin 6-0, 6-0, 6-0.

Come on Marat! kick his ass! :rocker2:

in 05, he gave fedex a tough match in halle.

marat has game.

he can take out this classless bum

Ollie Rochus and Birdman gave Roger tough time at Halle, so what?
Just check out Marat's record on grass, even before his injury it was embarassing.

My only hope is Marat's serve will be Ok for a couple of sets so he can avoid a humilating loss.

Safin will beat Djokovic, and loose to someone in the next round

Serbian or Russian player, it's the same thing ;)
I would like Safin to win this tournament, so I'll go with Safin:angel:

Serbian or Russian player, it's the same thing ;)


??? Not in a million years. Glupost.

as always
heart: marat
head: nole

Why? I have always liked Safin. I don't have always to be with Serbian players. Safin is one of my favorites, so get over it...;)

That's nothing to do with Marat.

Djokovic in 3 straight

6-2 6-2 6-1

too easy, is it???

Manon doesn't like potential Serbian-Russian brotherhood ;) Political orientation, nothing else.
Other than that (which I approve), I like Russian tennis players, too.But somehow, can't start loving their football...

Serbian or Russian player, it's the same thing ;)

Safin's not Russian.

True enough. :yeah: Also happy to see Baghdatis come out on top today.

I hope safin, but my gut tells me it's going to be djoko

If Safin wins I will be his biggest fan! :inlove:

Safin

Heart: Safin
Head: Djokovic

That quarter of the draw is now wide open with Karlovic and Nalbandian out. Fantastic opportunity to make it thru' to semi-finals for the winner of this match.

head: djokovic
shoulder: djokovic
arm: djokovic
leg: djokovic
upper torso: djokovic
butt: djokovic
genitals: djokovic

and my neighbour thinks djokovic too.

ooo and i do not even know wimbledon is happening already...and safin won the 1st rd.
maybe it's best that i don't watch him.
no coverage anyways :(

he'll beat djokovic!...i hope...

Xristos.

Does anyone know who Borg thinks will win?

How about Bud Collins?

I think Safin's Mom said Joker in 3.

Joker's parents said that he is the future GOAT and should be #1 after beating Marat.

It's fun to see that nearly 40% actually think Marat will win! :D:D Won't happen, though.:sad:

WTAesque scores.

Probably something like 7-5 5-7 6-0 0-6 6-4 for Marat.

I atleats hope Safin tires the hell out of Djokovic, for the next round.

REALLY hope Safin can pull this out, but he's a 10% chance at best, to be honest.

hopefully Marat can win more games than he allowed Djerker in AO

Safin - sorry for your horrible draw! :hug:

Still a very stoopid bit of me hoping for Safin 2003 to show up... :armed:

It'd be good if Safin turns up in fine form and makes it a competitive match, however I tip Djok to prevail in three possibly four sets.

Safin will be happy not to be triple bagelled :shrug:

maybe Marat can win one set, but I do not really believe in an upset

Too bad a Serb has to kill off a Russian. Djokovic will win but his heart won't be in it.

Another question. How many rackets will Safin break? I love Safin but unless he's in some sort of place I haven't seen him in a long while, ND will beat him bad.

A staggering % of people are seriously deluded.

Safin is gonna get thumped, no matter how much I'd like otherwise.

An upset is not impossible.

But I predict Djokovic in 4.

Should be interesting.

I'll say Djokovic wins in 4 sets.

I hope he plays well, like against Baghdatis in AO. This is why he still plays tennis. But it wont be enough i'm afraid. The Serbinator to go through.

Unbelievable amount of morons on MTF. Novak in 3, Safin should thank him for putting him out of his misery.

Call it wishful thinking ;)

I do love Marat (he's, after all, who got me into tennis all those yrs ago), but he's not the same player he once was. Nole will beat him easy.

40% think Safin will win?

40% think Safin will win?

I think it is more wishfull thinking. ;)

Heart says Marat, head says Novak.

safin is an extremely gifted ball striker who has immense power from the baseline. BUT his best is far behind him now, and is now a half step slower then in his prime, his desire to win has decreased and JOKER is way too effective, brutal and accourate from the back court. JOKER IN 3 EASY SETS, MARK MY WORDS.....

A poll that Safin isn't winning :lol: :haha: :rolls:

Safin`s career is going nowhere and of course he`s going to lose.:sad: When I think he will win, he always losses. So maybe if I think he will lose, he will win???:rolleyes:

Djokovic in 3. Voted Safin just for the hell of it. I always vote Safin!
If Marat shows up, he might claw out a set.

love to see it go five sets but I don't Safin is up to it. Fans are the winners here with hot and hot on court

Mind tells me Djoko,heart tells me Marat :)

Please wake up on your good side Marat..:o

If not.. then Faker 6:2 6:2 6:2

Please wake up on your good side Marat..

Yes, it is up to his waking up.And not up to Novak.

head: djokovic
shoulder: djokovic
arm: djokovic
leg: djokovic
upper torso: djokovic
butt: djokovic
genitals: djokovic

and my neighbour thinks djokovic too.

:lol:

A poll that Safin isn't winning :lol: :haha: :rolls:

Isn't this like first pool that Mapat loses?:p

Please wake up on your good side Marat..:oHe hasnt woke up on his good side for 3.5 years

Djokovic in 4.

Floater City Centrale

Marat in 4...

Is Safin the new Boris Yeltsin?

Dinara's slutty bro's time is UP. Djoko will rip him a new one, unfortunately.

marat can take djoker out in 4 sets... as long as his game is on.
Go Marat. Win this one!!! :yeah:

lol if Djokovic loses to safin and nadal loses to Gulbis...

Safin41.76%

A poll that Safin isn't winning :lol: :haha: :rolls:

safin fans discovered the rules of reverse psychology hehe
although i voted for him to win

Djokovic in 3 easy sets. Towel boys will be spared from doing a lot of work - Djokovic ain't breaking a sweat in this one.

Safin in straights.

Djokovic in straights. I wonder who's going to smash his racket first: Novak or Safin.

lol if Djokovic loses to safin and nadal loses to Gulbis...

If this happens and Fed loses to Soderling, who wins Wimbledon?

I think it is more wishfull thinking. ;)

Honestly, I think people are more answering to this poll:

Do you like Djokovic?
- Yes
- No

That's giving you the results.

Safin 6-2 6-1 7-6

Honestly, I think people are more answering to this poll:

Do you like Djokovic?
- Yes
- No

Not sure about that at all. At all.

whats wrong with djokovic

5 DF on the first set

Well done Marat, he took the first set 6-4. Couldn't wish for a better start- he needed that one..

Am I missing something? What's wrong with discussing the match on this forum, as opposed to that worthless thread that hardly anyone posts in?

I can never find any match threads. The thread you linked to is pretty worthless. Why are there no match threads on this forum? I swear, some of the rules on here are idiotic.

Yeah, but all the matches are muddled together. What's the problem with people creating separate match threads if they want to discuss one match specifically?
