I stood and cheered loudly when that ball hit the net.
So my prediction for the final was right.PROJECTED RUN - PREDICTIONS
DJOKOVIC, Novak (SRB) [1] - FINALS (Easy run to the finals, has 'pigeon' Ferrer in the semis... But will lose to a more supreme grass court player in the final)
MURRAY, Andy (GBR) [2] - CHAMPION (It's his time. Only player to have been in the semis or a later stage for the past 4 Wimbledons. Lost to an inspired Federer last year in the finals. Demolished Federer on the same court at the Olympics weeks later. Arguably, one of the best grass court players in recent times)
FEDERER, Roger (SUI) [3] - QUARTER-FINALS (I don't think he can overcome the Nadal-mental block... 10-20 H2H in favour of Nadal despite having a positive H2H on grass with 2-1 but he's old/declining... Despite winning last year, he got knocked out in the quarters in 2010 and 2011)
FERRER, David (ESP) [4] - SEMI-FINALS (He can beat everyone under him but not those above him - i.e. the Big 4. So I expect he will not be able to beat Novak in the semis UNLESS Novak gets upset beforehand)
NADAL, Rafael (ESP) [5] - SEMI-FINALS (However, if he beats Murray who he actually has a 3-0 H2H against at Wimbledon.... then I expect him to be CHAMPION. Only Novak's 2011 form can beat Nadal on grass... otherwise, Nadal is generally the better grass courter... He's been in 5 finals out of the last 6 Wimbledons...)
TSONGA, Jo-Wilfried (FRA) [6] - QUARTER-FINALS (Despite reaching the semis for the past two Wimbledons... I don't think he can overcome Murray... he lost to Murray in ATP Queens 2013 edition...)
BERDYCH, Tomas (CZE) [7] - QUARTER-FINALS (He holds a poor H2H record against Djokovic... Unless he conjures up his 2010 Wimbledon form which allowed him to beat Federer and Djokovic back to back... I think 'pigeon' Berdych will let Novak through)
DEL POTRO, Juan Martin (ARG) [8] - BEFORE QUARTER-FINALS (He's not consistent enough on grass and isn't in good form at the moment)
What do you guys think? Any comments/predictions?
Discuss.
[Despite my prediction, I'm rooting for Roger to win it again for an 8th Wimbledon!]
solid prediction and analysis hahaSo my prediction for the final was right.
But Novak fans can definitely blame Delpo for giving Novak a tough match - all those physically gruelling rallies.
Meanwhile Murray's SF with JJ was short (physically less demanding) because JJ is the guy who serves big + plays short points.
All in all, Murray is definitely becoming the better grass player than Djokovic (I think better than Novak so far despite the fact they have 1 final + 1 title at Wimbledon each but Murray has Olympic Gold on grass too and those Queens titles)
2 more Wimbledons could see Murray eclipse Nadal.
I am worried about this pair.i dont support murray, i am just anti-nole. with that being said i dont like murray much. nadal and fed r better
I was the only vote for Murray.
But many of my predictions were not even close.solid prediction and analysis haha
Rafael Nadal at the French Open:well its good that there is some variety. its never fun when one person just dominates for years on end.
100% agree, first it was bartoli winning, then djokovic choked so hard... not to mention federer and nadalThis wimbledon was sickening
But murray did deserve the win100% agree, first it was bartoli winning, then djokovic choked so hard... not to mention federer and nadal
hoping for a better one next year
Debatable imoBut murray did deserve the win
holy shit. exactly the same here. I dislike nole for some reason I don't know why - seems like a great guy though.i dont support murray, i am just anti-nole. with that being said i dont like murray much. nadal and fed r better
he deserved to win that match, but perhaps not the whole tournament if that makes any sense.But murray did deserve the win
Exactly thishe deserved to win that match, but perhaps not the whole tournament if that makes any sense.
