Re: My Prediction ..... by bango tango on Jan 24, 2011 12:55 AM nice QF line up..Djko/Berdych , Federer/Wawrinka and possibly a** picker/Raonic , Soderling/Murray .... The serve, backhand and court coverage of Wawrinka will put Fedex in trouble...wawrinks has got one of the best backhand (@ par wd Djko & btr than Gulbis) in the sport adding to the booming serve ...BUT AS USUAL , FEDEX WILL DEFINITELY HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR BIG MATCHES...    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: My Prediction ..... by bango tango on Jan 24, 2011 12:57 AM watch out for this big serving 6'5" guy Raonic .... though he had lost to a&& picker in Japan Open in 2010, but still made him fight for the win ... has a serve nearly @ par with karlovic & btr than Isner, but far btr game than these two ...    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Fedex doesn't look too convincing by Another Critic on Jan 24, 2011 12:14 AM Roddick is seeded 8th. Rafa 1, Fed 2, Djoko 3, Soderling 4, Murray 5, Berdych 6, Ferrer 7, Roddick 8. Agreed, Federer will face the music from here. Wawrinka should be a tough opponent too. If Federer plays the same way he played against Robredo and Wawrinka plays the same way he played against Roddick, Wawrinka will win aganist Federer.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Fedex doesn't look too convincing by John Lennon on Jan 24, 2011 12:25 AM Andy -Murray is 5. So, Fed and Djok SF is probable if Seed 2 faces 3 in Australian open. Soderling should be playing Murray this way and theirs' will be interesting to watch too. Murray was runner up last year, I think.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: I was expecting a federer-roddick quarters by Another Critic on Jan 23, 2011 11:54 PM Shocker? Roddick has always been a hype and a choker. Glad to see Wawrinka in quarters, definitely a better player than Roddick and everyone expected Wawrinka to win. So, it's no surprise. Watch out Federer...you have an uphill battle from now on.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: I was expecting a federer-roddick quarters by John Lennon on Jan 24, 2011 12:01 AM That's right - dubbed as the most talented player when he started, Roddick couldn't sustain his gaming talents. He's a choker and can lose to anyone these days.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Sharapova and Sania by Jaimin Soni on Jan 23, 2011 11:38 PM Are you joking? MS has won 22 WTA title and 3 Grand Slams... I think Sania has not even reached THIRD round of 22 WTA tournaments... It looks like you never see tennis, you are watchign tennis, you will not even notice the decibel level... Poor fellow with little tennis knowledge...    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Sharapova and Sania by Another Critic on Jan 23, 2011 11:51 PM Agreed the dude does not have tennis knowledge like some of the people who post comments here. No comparison between Sharapova and Sania. Sharapova is at another level as a top class tennis player and is consistently in the top 20 for most of the time. I don't think Sania has ever cracked into top 20 rankings.    Forward   |   Report abuse
