Tomaszk Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Fairly confident Nadal will beat Fed this time. Rafa well up for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hard to call I think. Nadal’s has only been tested by Kyrgios. The way federer dismantled nishikiri was impressive. Nadal slight edge for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Head says Rafa, heart says Roger. Federer will always be the GOAT though imo. Class versatile player and a nice guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 This is a masterclass from Federer. Virtually every shot is right into the corner, inches from the baseline. Rafa is having to fight for every point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Wow. That was an absolute pleasure to watch. So much of what Federer did was simply breathtaking. Nadal was great too but just had no answer to what was being thrown at him. Federer is the greatest sportsman of all time. I can’t imagine there ever being anyone like him again.

PaulC Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Federer was brilliant Nadal was poor. Didn’t make enough first serves and Federer controlled the baseline. Not a great match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great match Federer was very aggressive though. Not many people can make Nadal go where he doesn't want to on the court. It's probably the approach he needs to take against Djokovic too. When Federer goes for winners and he's on point, he's a very hard man to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted July 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2019 I think even if Djoker passes Fed for Grand slams, most people (including me) rate Fed as the g.o.a.t. I have a lot of respect for Djoker, and like him as a person a lot more than I use to. However Federer is probably the most likeable sportsperson I've seen in my time, and he has all the shots and class possible in a tennis player. All that being said I have a whole bunch of multis that need Djoker to win Wimbledon so I'll be going for him but I can honestly say I won't be upset if Federer wins. Men's tennis is going to be very average when Nadal, Djokovic and Federer are all retired. We may never see tennis and rivalry like this again. I'm very glad it happened in my life time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets into a long rally match, Djokovic will deal with him...and comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Come on Halep. Anyone prepared to reduce a pair of awesome bewbs in size to help you succeed deserves the win. Even though I frown upon those awesome bewbs being no more Edited July 13, 2019 by rjw63 Shcpeeling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Cue the Williams press conference. Will be littered with attitude. All about her. Snappy to reporters. Probably start crying. Always goes dramatic when beaten well. Go **** herself. Halep's day and I hope it's all about her. Deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Halep was outstanding and Williams was poor, not a good combination for a close match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
