he says pretty much the obvious except for:

Semifinals

Federer v. Monfils

 

[onewoman74]

huh? Monfils?

 

[1sun]

im pretty sure that has to be a mistake

 

[oneandonlyhsn]

Yeah and I'll bagel Roger in the final :lol:

 

[madmanfool]

Semifinals Federer v. Monfils[/QUOTE] He's a few years too early i'm afraid

 

[alfonsojose]

Very risky choice

 

[NYCtennisfan]

Well, he has to make some crazy prediction in there. It's too boring to say Fed/Hewitt or Safin and Nadal or Agassi vs. Roddick.

 

[mitalidas]

This is one of his stranger predictions.

But take a look at what he predicted this year for Wimbledon:
Semifinals

Thomas Johansson vs. Roddick

Everyone laughed about this ex-ante and the guy came up right. So lets wait and see --there are a lot of headcases and injurymen in that quarter with Monfils (I don't know if Monfils is among them!), anything can happen

^Very good point.

I didnt know about that

He will also do anything to avoid having to pick Lleyton (probably because he said he was finished in mid 2003 ... )

 

[Deivid23]

Wertheim, stop drinking. lol @ Monfils in semis.

 

[megadeth]

i think that safin-hewitt quarter would be a great match to watch...

 

[delsa]

Sorry but, looking at how he's playing now, i don't even think that Gaël will go past the first round...

 

[njnetswill]

Since when was "Oli Rochus" "their man" ?

 

[Lisbeth]

i think that safin-hewitt quarter would be a great match to watch...

absolutely - they've played some excellent matches They have great respect for each other too

 

[DanEd]

monfils in semis :lol: :haha: :retard:


monfils will lose to djokovic

 

[Scotso]

Yes, Djokovic will smoke him.

 

[NicoMassuTheBest]

nadal will win and nico massu will be a semifinalist
federer will lose in first round :devil:

 

[d_b_prince]

Monfils?!

He also picked Youzhny to make the semis of the Australian this year. He likes having one surprising pick.
