2015 ATP World Tour Finals

[Great Hands]

I hope to see what we were robbed of last year, Djoker - Fed final.

Anyway, Djoker has 3 potential matches vs Fedal.

Ugh...I just had a thought. Murray wins a 3rd-set tiebreak against Stan, but only after Kim calls Stan a dirty Swiss cheese from the stands and upsets Stan. And then Andy drops out of the final so he can get ready for the WTF.

Ha, who an I kidding. Something like that would never happen in a million years.

:laydownlaughing

 

[Great Hands]

Looks like Group Stan Smith goes first, on Sunday.

Thanks, Murat!

The million dollar question is can Ferrer win a single match this year? Realistically I can only see him beating Nadal but even that would be a bold prediction as the court is too slow really for him to redline his game enough to hit enough winners. My guess is he wins the square root of f**k all, ie not a single match. On a faster court I'd give him a chance against Murray and Nadal if he had a very good day painting lines.

If fit, Nishikori is actually a tough cookie for both Djokovic and Federer but he's probably not fit. If he actually was fit and in good form then Roger would be hoping he (Kei) beats Novak and then pulls up lame against him (Roger) :snicker Berdych can be a nightmare for Roger unless he serves well as he has an uncanny read on Roger's 2nd serve in particular and belts it back much like Roger does to Andy's WTA 2nd serve. So serving has to be very sharp from Roger. All the guys in Roger's group can and have beaten him but other than against Novak, he's clearly favoured to beat the rest. He sure could've done with Ferrer in the group though. Very unbalanced draw.

All of this is just to decide who Djokovic beats in the final for his 5th WTF title.

I'll be rooting for Muzza, Air-K and Ferruuuuu.

Looks like Rafael has gotten a bit of a "stay of execution" being placed in this group. Let's hope he finally does something with it and if uncle Roger takes care of Novak.

If Roger's playing well enough to beat Novak on this court he's definitely playing well enough to beat Nads Most likely Novak wins the whole thing unless the court is miraculously much faster this year.

Finally got a pic without that blind bumbling doofus with a bad haircut (who was apparently the mayor of London?) messing it up. Dapper Dans!

 

[Front242]

^ Well that pic shows Nishikori is clearly nursing a back injury and probably shoulder too. Awesome posture Also, Ferrer's suit is 2 sizes too big.

He is a hoot. I really like him.

He needs a real haircut, some glasses and someone to teach him the proper pronunciation of foreign names. :snicker

He's probably like the Jack Sparrow of London politics. Seems like a bumbling fool, but actually a shrewd and merciless politician who will gut you like a fish the first chance he gets. Politically speaking of course.

Like a more tame version of Rob Ford. Actually way more tame

You've summed up Boris very well.

Who came up with this line-up? Novak off near the end at #1 in the world and as usual, Roger right next to the Cup as if he owns it with 6 titles! "Roger, most of your records are in serious jeopardy; maybe before you retire at 40, still ranked #2 with this sorry bunch of 'also-rans'!" = UPDATE: I guess these are the division groups, but STILL! :cover

Well, they all came out in order but I guess they didn't want the two short guys to ruin the balance of the pic so they scooted Nishikori to the other end. Too bad for Nadal. That would have been the first time for him to be able to stand next to the trophy! Zing!

 

[Front242]

Most of Roger's records are in serious jeopardy? Only if you're a lunatic The only one that stands out is the number of WTFs. The ones where he's catching up but still well behind are a case of how exactly you define seriously. More like possibly.

Best of five, I will still take Rafa over Roger

You said that in the Novak -Rafa match-up too before RG, hen Rafa was not even able to get a set
