But if that happens, then so be it. Credit to him that deserves it!

I know. I was 30% joking 50% being sarcastic and 20% why the hell am i posting this.

All the best for Fed for the rest of RG

hey Karin nice to see you here

Martin how's the graphics contest going with you?

btw guys Nadal will lose a heap of points, RG is one of the cornerstones he built on each season since 2005, with a similar upset in Wimbledon and Fed making the final or winning in both RG and Wimbly, he would become #1 again!!!?

think about this possibility for a second!

Dini · 05-31-2009, 10:41 PM

I'm exhausted. What a day.

Ivanovic lost too. Man this rg has been filled with drama!

Fed will then have a whole load of points he can get from the hard court season then, increasing his lead at number 1. We'll have to wait and see if this will happen

And hence I wouldn't be surprised at all if Fed loses tomorrow.

Ivanovic has been slipping a lot. This is her out of the top 10 now, isn't it

Against Haas. I can't see that happening. But is it does then the highest seed left in the quarters is Murray

What a grand slam this would be if that happened

Wait, who would be the favourite if Fed lost?

Hey Karin, if it occurs, what to you think of the Muzza/Davy match up. I think you missed it today, but Davy looked like a ground stroke machine today in dismantling Verdasco. I mean it was really impressive.
I can see him troubling Murray big time the way he steps inside the baseline. That's my biggest concern in the Muzza-Fed prediction.

Fed hasn't lost to Haas since he became THE Fed, that's such a long shot on Haas's least favorite surface, also there is no crowd support like what PHM got to lift him up, so that's highly unlikely Nadine

I would consider a matchup with Monfils a little tricky, but considering their match last year I think Fed will be able to deal with him, and another tricky opponent will be Tsonga who would be harder for Fed than Del Potro, but again Fed has what it takes to get the win.

once Fed reaches the final, I can see no way he would be defeated

Davydenko

I really admire this man, such a silent killer game, if he kept playing like he is is playing now he should make the final, a Federer/Davydenko final would be absolutely fantastic

It really is a very very popular thread. Vol.4 nearing 100 posts already. But then again, most of that is me and Nadine

Dani, NO ONE predicted Soderling to beat Nadal. No one.

Haas is a better player than Toad when his game clicks, and Fed is no better than Nadal on clay and working by this logic, Fed will lose tomorrow.
