2015 Wimbledon Final: Djokovic v. Federer II

[Front242]

pretty sure everyone knows who they are anyway

t would be great to have an epic, but a two hour match would be good too so I can finish watching before work

 

[tented]

Ha ha, Front.

 

[tented]

Got what I wished for: Roger won the toss, and will serve first. :clap

 

[Kirijax]

Federer had better bring the lvel he had in the semis, or I will be pissed

 

[Kirijax]

This might be the oldest Wimbledon ever. Fed 33, Serena 33, Hingis 34, Rojer 33, Paes 35. 33 is te new 17. lol

 

[tented]

That probably is an all-around record, Kirijax. Im certain it is with Serena (at least in the Open Era).

Well Djokovic is a different beast from Murray he will attack the serve

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek. its time.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Nole has his pepto bismol ready...

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Well I think the French is different from Wimbledon in that he has two, so I think he will be much less stressed here

 

[Federberg]

already spitting with rain here, but Im about 20 miles away from the action

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

so far so good with the serve

 

[Tennisfan]

Its time

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

good start for roger.

 

[tented]

Love hold. :clap

 

[Kirijax]

wow, good start,

Uhm, kinda weird that my seeding sidenote would lead someone to claim that he's a guaranteed #2 (hehe, number two...)
Again: with that mass of grass points, Fed could well be helped in the seeding next year. if that makes the difference between #3 and #2 or being unseeded and #25? That depends on what he does from Monday on.


That said, one could actually probably calculate a guaranteed (or at least highly likely) seeding range (for Novak as well), because the points could well be enough to get a seeded position, even if they don't enter a tournament for a year after monday.

The formula is just used to adjust the seeded players. So if someone is not among the Top 32 entered for the event when the draw is made, he has no chance to get a seeding regardless of grass points. This year for example Kohlschreiber would have been seeded instead of I think Thiem if the formula was used for everyone.

You are correct. However, points earned in Wimbledon this year will come down only after the end of Wimbledon next year. So, even if Fed stops playing completely after this Wimbledon, he will have a ranking points of 1200 in his account when they determine the seedings. That 1200 is typically good enough to ensure that you are in top 32 of rankings charts and so he will be eligible for seeding boost by addition.

Of course it's basically impossible, that Federer will be outside of the seeded players then. I just wanted to clarify that the additional points from the formula can never make the difference between being seeded or unseeded.

Sweet BHs.

 

[Kirijax]

Nice! Federer going for it
