When I was in school people were saying mark waugh and saeed anwaar will topple on number of centuries scored in odi's ...where is sachin now ...48 and counting ...few years back in 2007 ponting was on high and said that he would chase down... sachin in test centuries ...sachin has 51 now...every genius does that...I still feel Federer will make his GS tally to 20 to 21 or more than that when he retires...and make life difficult for others 2 reach there...we will wait and see...hope that happens someday

Two much expectation from the great. He may won couple of max, but twenty and more is not fair to expect from him.

yes u r correct may be...but we should wait and see still he finishes his professional career

Hmmm, as much as I can wish, it doesnt seem to be happening. Being an devout fan of Fedex, his game, his body, his energy and his down the line perfect shots seem to be falling short of what it takes to win GS's. I would really wish to see Fedex have 20 GS in his kitty.
Re: Re: Every Genius has in them

yes you may be right but still this man finds some way to reach the finals..and sometime later stages of a tournament...because of his pure class...its really amazing
Re: Re: Every Genius has in them
by sourish konar on Jun 04, 2011 02:15 PM
As far as 2morros match is concerned Nadal clearly has the edge over Fedex (may be in any surface I suppose) but you cannot count Geniuses like Federer out from the equation...If Fedex is humiliated 2morrow buy losing in three sets he will still be a force in wimbledon and us open...that is the hallmark of the great man...come on fedex u have nothing to lose and defeat atleast once nadal here ......
Re: Re: Re: Every Genius has in them
by aftab alam on Jun 04, 2011 03:13 PM
U r right here, no one doubting Fedex ability, he can beat Nadal and have beaten as well on clay in past, Wimbledon yes he will sure one of contendor but in US open it will be more difficult as on those surface there will be almost 5 to 6 way rivalry
Re: Re: Re: Re: Every Genius has in them
by sourish konar on Jun 04, 2011 03:23 PM
In US open he was beaten twice in last seven years but all are 5 setters...so this surface may suite him again
The debates over Greatest of all time will go on, but there can be no doubt that the rivalry between Federer and Nadal has been won hands down by Nadal. This fact is not going to change after tomorrow's final, no matter what the result is. And by the way, does anyone remember the scoreline when the two met at Roland Garros last time? I guess it is not going to be much differtent from that encounter.

played only 8-9 times on surface other than clay in last 8 yrs? I wish it was more. BTW , r u the same person who predicted TSonga will defeat Fed..?
Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by aftab alam on Jun 04, 2011 01:44 PM
I suppose it was 3 set straight victory for Rafa as he hasnt lost an set in hole tournament.
Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by Anuraug Rathor on Jun 04, 2011 01:06 PM
I'm predicting a straight sets win for Rafa too,with maybe one going to a tie break.But it wont be as easy as it looks,it will still be a tight encounter.Anyway my clone will be here soon saying he 'predicted' that FedUp would beat Novak...what he did 'predict',in fact, was that it would be Novak and Rafa in the finals.He doesn't even know how to stand up for his man when he's playing brilliant tennis.
Re: Re: Federer Vs Nadal

:-) The man who compares Federer with Sania Mirza is commenting on my predictions. LOL!
Re: Re: Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by Anuraug Rathor on Jun 04, 2011 02:01 PM
The LOL is at you,fool.The comparison btw Fed and Sania is called 'jest' or 'sarcasm',dude..Grow up already!.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by Anurag Rathore on Jun 04, 2011 02:11 PM
I never saw such a fool who compares Federer with Sania and justify it too.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by Anuraug Rathor on Jun 04, 2011 02:15 PM
And where did I justify it,fool?I said it ws in jest and sarcasm...cant even read??
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by Anurag Rathore on Jun 04, 2011 02:21 PM
Even thinking about comparison between Sania and Federer is foolishness. And I always expects that kind of statements from you. No surprise.
Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by rprasad karajgi on Jun 04, 2011 01:17 PM
Guys!!! We are appreciating a Legend - Fedex (16 Grand Slams) and here comes a girly attitude gal, with an argumentative and sick approach.
Guys..how many grand slams has Rafa won? Duh...
There will always be a unparalleled difference in the grace, the elegance and the brilliance of shot making rather than just grunting n shunting the ball back. No one can match or even come closer to Fedex in this aspect. Such a joy to behold!!!
Re: Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by Anuraug Rathor on Jun 04, 2011 02:05 PM
Karajgi...go buy a clue,moron.First,about the 'Grand Slams'...Rafa's already won 9 and completed a career slam plus an Olympic Gold in quicker time than FedUp.Next,'elegance' and 'brilliance' are all subjective terms,what matters is the will to win and to achieve that win within the laws of the game,and everyone knows who dominates whom,FedUp or Rafa.So looks like 'grunting and shunting the ball back' is the way to go!!
Re: Re: Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by rprasad karajgi on Jun 04, 2011 03:10 PM
hey Rathor..A**h**le, we will be here to see how long will Rafa last. 9 is not the same as 16. Time? huh? how long will Rafa last? there are new talented guys coming up who can be Rafa. So if you are living in a world of foolishness and think that you are over smart...hitch a hike dude.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by Anuraug Rathor on Jun 04, 2011 03:19 PM
Hell bullcrapgi...sure,if you wanna speculate into the future be my guest,there will always be talented guys coming up, and yes we will all be there to see how long Nadal lasts or doesnt last,so lets hold our guns till that point,yeah,so lets stick to what we have in hand already,so if your gonna tell me 9 is not same as 16,I'd like to gently remind you about the Rafa-FedUP HTH....so go eat that dude.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Federer Vs Nadal
by rprasad karajgi on Jun 04, 2011 06:22 PM
Fshirouge...its not HTH..it performing at the highest level, consistently over a long period. Given the game Rafa has, he will not be ablve to withstand the fatigue. U started off with moron..i guess am ending up with ..blah blah..being Fedex fans..lets raise a toast rather than calling names.
My clone is now claiming to have 'predicted' that FedUp would beat Novak.Rather,what he said was that it was 'most likely' a Rafa-Novak final and that Fedex was the only one with 'a chance' to beat Novak...semantics,good word play which can be modified either way whatever the result.Anyway...another Rafa-FedUp final.Great.This is probably FedUp's biggest match ever.If he can beat Rafa,he settles all doubts about his only win at the French being a fluke that happened because Rafa was injured and out.This time Rafa is there,fit, and returning to best form.I think Rafa's still playing around 50% of his best.He needs to crank it up a bit.I'm predicting a Rafa win,unlike my clone who will play it safe with a 'likely' or 'possible' kind of crappy atatement.
Re: Re: Lying clone boy
by Anuraug Rathor on Jun 04, 2011 02:20 PM
Hey buttplug...mind your language.Yes Rafa was injured and out fo the final in 2009...FedUp beat Soderling in that final,not Rafa..So there's always gonna be people who say that FedUp wouldnt have won if he was playing Rafa in that final.After all he's lost 3 French finals to Rafa,each loss being more and more comprehensive.And rather if you can "fk" your own brain(if you have one) to make it work so you understand what I said,I on fact said Rafa needs to crank up his game to beat FedUP...so get a life,pal!
Re: Re: Re: Lying clone boy
by Chaitanya NS on Jun 04, 2011 03:04 PM
Kool it down, abusive word on you wasnt necessary. But dont you think you should also stop calling others with bad words like retard etc ? You put your argument,but why abuse ? BTW - Rafa wasnt injured in French open. He pulled out of Aus open QF that year & skipped Wimbeldon due to injurry.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Lying clone boy
by Anuraug Rathor on Jun 04, 2011 03:22 PM
Dude...I only abuse the clone,and that too when he does it himself first.And FYI Rafa was injured in the French,the same injury which aggravated in the grass court season that yar leading to a pullout from Wimby.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Lying clone boy
by Jaimin Soni on Aug 06, 2011 07:57 PM
Chaitanya, This m o r o n forgets many things... And Rafa is great but his supported are real M O R O N S and nothing but M O R O N S....
Now they will come back saying he lost because he was injured...
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Lying clone boy
by Chaitanya NS on Jun 04, 2011 10:43 PM
There is a difference btwn playing with injury & pulling out due to injury. Murray injured ankle this French open, but not fair to call he last due to injury. And you say you dont abuse others ? I have seen you call everyone retard & with other bad words. You seem to forget a lot!
Re: Re: Lying clone boy
by aftab alam on Jun 04, 2011 02:29 PM
Jamin my friend, if u r so gracious then pln do not use such language first. I havent seen u on regular basis here so u will not know what people r talking about. Anurag comment are absolutely correct.
It is a difficult choice as well as a difficult wish to make on who would or who should win. All along I have watched Rafa Roja matches closely. So one thing I can say for very sure. The only reason Roger loses on almost all big ocassions against Rafa is due to his nerves. Roger's level of play drops considerably when he plays against Rafa.
Re: Both are greats
by rprasad karajgi on Jun 04, 2011 12:52 PM
I agree with you mate. He feels psychologically down when he is up against Rafa. If Fedex over comes his psyche and plays confidently then, no matter what ever be the surface, Fedex will have his chances.
Re: Re: Both are greats
by rprasad karajgi on Jun 04, 2011 01:05 PM
Just to remind you guys, Fedex is a single handed player-with his backhand and his devastating forehand-the best in the business. Such is his class!!!
Re: Re: Both are greats
by aftab alam on Jun 04, 2011 12:52 PM
Absolutely correct, Fedex has better game in all aspect against Nadal except court covering and game planning.
Re: Re: Re: Both are greats
by infoharsha on Jun 04, 2011 01:01 PM
I agree dear. Federer is a genius while Rafa has muscles!
I have watched Rafa Vs Murray, Murray too could have beaten Rafa plenty of chances, but yet gave him all the chances to come back for Rafa...everyone felt nervous.
However, Rafa has been beaten by Novak, Murray and many others unlike the great Federer who is stuck in a psychological condition
Re: Both are greats
by Adnan K on Jun 04, 2011 01:20 PM
are boss fedex has beaten rafa in last ATP world tour final and he was playing without any pressure that why he won that time he has to do same thing on sunday if he plays without any pressure he will definitely beat rafa because he his much better tennis player than rafa who himself accepted this fact.
Hi Guys, Nice discussions here. Have you seen Fedex reaching out to fetch a return? This is where Nadal wins.He never gives up to reach the ball and ensures the ball is in play. If Fedex takes this approach, he can never be beaten on any surface. Fedex plays the game classically and with utmost ease. As many frens here said, Fedex is a class apart, technically and aesthetically. He is the Master and when he plays in his flows, it seems he had created this game and HE is the GOD of Tennis. Cheers!!! Long live the Legend
Both guys are great ambassadors of tennis. Its a treat to watch them playing against each other. Love you both. Rafa holds the edge on this match, still at the end of the day I want to see a competitive match rather than one sided.
Watching your match against Djokovic was a treat and i am sure if you play confidently then there would be nobody to stop you from winning this Cup . Stay COOL and the cup is yours....
Re: Congrats Federer
by aftab alam on Jun 04, 2011 11:47 AM
Absolutely stunning, its so good to see his backhand shorts coming back, i suppose it was his back hand short and first serve undone d serb, Nova dint play badly but Fedex played superly. Lets see if he can outclass Nadal on Sunday which looks very unlikely, he wont get all those forehands and back hand shorts against Nadal on spinning top spin. Congrats Roger
Re: Re: Congrats Federer
by bango tango on Jun 04, 2011 11:55 AM
Babolat balls making wonder 4 Federer.....
The serve speed of Federer is amazingly good due to the introduction of Babolat balls....today he clocked 214 kmph twice and now leading with highest no. of aces (59 )......
Under a five-year contract that begins in 2011, the French Open is moving to Babolat balls from Dunlop. It’s not every day that a Grand Slam tournament changes its ball brand. Or even every century. Wimbledon, for example, has used Slazenger since 1902. The U.S. Open has used Wilson since the late 1970s; the Australian Open switched to Wilson in 2006.
As I sais only Federer can break Djokovic winning streak. He did it. It was a great reply to those people who were saying where Federer stands now before French Open.
Re: Congrats!
by Anuraug Rathor on Jun 04, 2011 12:50 PM
NO ,you predicted a 'most likely' Rafa-Novak final and you said Fedex was the only player with 'a chance' to break Novak's run.Clever statements which can be modified to suit you anytime.How about a clear cut prediction about who's gonna win the final?Anyway Fedex doesnt need to 'answer' anyone,even if he retired 5 years ago he's still one of the tennis greats.All said and done I dont see him beating Rafa.
Re: Re: Congrats!
by aftab alam on Jun 04, 2011 12:57 PM
U caught him absolutely perfectly. He said only Roger and we said yes Roger can but so can Rafa. Even i cant see Rafa loosing, for me its 70-30 in favour of Rafa
Re: Re: Re: Congrats!
by Anuraug Rathor on Jun 04, 2011 01:04 PM
Ignore him,he's a lying pseudo expert who thinks everyone else here is a moron.I have exposed him many times for his superiority complex,and made him eat humble pie.

Sorry to say frnd but ur wish wont fulfill, its rolland and its Rafa surface, very difficult for Roger but not impossible, Rafa do hold the edge
