Aus open still on with everything happening in Australia?

 

[Formerly known as...]

Thiem taking that

Nah Nadal will take it again and get to 20. Which will make Wimbledon and US open dope.

We could end the year with:
Rafa 20
Novak 19
Fed 20

That would require Novak winning 3 of the 4 majors mind.

Rafa vs Novak tomorrow. Rafa hasn't taken a SET off Novak on HC since the 13 USO....until Rafa can do THAT, i'm going with Novak 7-6 6-3

 

[malbaker86]

It's because he plays like a grinder even though he's 6'6" but he also has limited power. There's minimal pace to his shots. He plays like the tortoise and the hare race. He plays quickly but methodical. It's weird.

Joker having a meltdown.

Gilles Simon 2.0

Gilles Simon 2.0

They're not even comparable.

Simon wishes he had Medvedevs weapons.

It's not the weapons, it's how they're both unconventional and will grind the fukk outta you

I didnt realize how soft grigor was

Started having my doubts when he started dating sharapova

That told me what he was really about

Because he dated her, or just the timeframe you mean?

Novak 6-4 6-3

I never really thought that about Grigor, his backhand is so incredibly mediocre and he lacks the mentality. They billed him as baby Fed but you can tell he was made to play like Fed to his detriment whereas the likes of Shapo is all natural.

he doesn't have the athleticism or quickness or Fed. He's more Gasquet than Fed lol

I agree with you on Simon and Medvedev in terms of being grinders but Grigor is a superb athlete and his flexibility is matched or bettered only by the likes of Djokovic
