Sorry Moxie but you are completely wrong. First at all I don't know if you remember what Roger's fans said that if he would play RG he could win too, I've never say that Rafa is going to win Wimbledon. Second, you should say Roger's fans to take a breath and drink a martini instad to repeat again and again who is going to upset Nadal. Third, do you honesty would put some money on Roger to win Wimbledon? sure? 100%? that's my point, but I'm not saying that he is the not favorite to win, he is. And fourth, I think someone else looks like a dick and much more than that and very often
The odd Fed fan said that Roger would be the best shot at beating Nadal at RG. Someone said it, for sure. It doesn't make it anymore laughable, or give you more leeway to say equally wacky things. Anyway, is doesn't matter, because Roger didn't play RG. You may never have said that Rafa is going to win Wimbledon, but you do make outrageous claims about him winning, Roger losing, and it defies logic and makes everyone's head hurt.
Second: I agree that someone like Darth at this moment probably needs a mood elevator and a drink, too. That wasn't personal to you but directed at anyone who was hurling playground insults.
Third: Roger to win Wimbledon? While it hurts me to say this, if, gun to my head, and my last $100, of which I had to wager on the winner of Wimbledon or lose it completely? I'd put it on Roger this year.
Fourth: Did I not make it clear enough that you and Darth were both acting like childish dicks? If not, my bad.

Have I said my point already? I did. If Roger would win Wimbledon I wouldn't be surprised and neither if he would lose

Sure, we can give Kyrgios a pass here. However, Kyrgios has the same problem of "being bored' in matches often and he has even said in interviews sometimes he would rather be on basketball court and things like that. So, while more talented, he has attitude issues as well. In fact NK was fined for lack of effort in a match.

TK is the best of the pack attitude wise.
TK, Groth and Millman all have fine attitudes. And I hope that Kokkinakis gets healthy enough to realize more of his potential. I know that Nick is a problem child, but I keep hoping for time to work on him. I actually thought that Tomic was getting a wake-up call and comeuppance with the younger guys doing so well. Seems he's just that more dug in with, oh-what-does-it-matter? Dan Evans is in trouble for recreational use of cocaine. Frankly, I'd rather see Bernie Tomic out for not giving a shit. Who wants to pay money to see that only middlingly-talented turd play tennis when he'd prefer to be elsewhere? I understand that less than partying in your free time.

And sorry but calling me "a dick" (I'm a woman) sounds very vulgar and out of context from you

I concur, this is the match Grigor vs Roger that should concern Fed Fans the most..if Grigor can stay on Roger's fh and produce some ATP Fed shanks , this is the real ambush of this tournament. Darth had better hope Grigor has his former Pussycat doll band leader to distract him this week.

I hope he faces Grigor over Isner. Dimitrov is no threat, Roger does everything better. If that's your best hope you are in trouble. But it isn't even your third best hope. Milos, Djoker and Rafa are all bigger threats.

It is vulgar, and I know you're a woman. I thought it appropriate to the level of discourse you and Darth had sunk to. It was carefully chosen.

And to the ladies teaming up on me, let's not group me with a certain someone here. I don't start this stuff...

I think you're right. Grigor isn't "Baby Fed" for nothing. More, he's "lesser-Fed." Playing Roger with a limp version of his own game isn't going to get the job done. Isner won't beat him, but he can cause a long, painful match.

You group yourself by resorting to kindergarten name-calling. Ignoring is always an elegant option.

Very inappropriate and you should be more careful choosing names

No one will ever take responsibility for starting a war. They'll only take credit for what they perceive as a win. There is a slam going on. Let's get back to talking about today's results and tomorrow's matches. Thank you.

Absolutely Fed does everything better plus a superior net game..however if Roger if off his game and you got to figure Grigor's fitness may help him

Then that 'nice' word back to you to be so meddlesome!
"Meddlesome?" Amusing. Who do you think are the people that prop up this forum and keep it going so that you can act like a spoiled child?

I hear you but I think being off against guys like Isner and Raonic is a bigger worry because the margins can be small with their serves. Also the worry against Isner is that match can ruin the baseline rhythm so even if Fed wins it can make him a little more vulnerable in a QF

Fair enough but I'm not apologizing for defending myself.

Moxie..I don't think I ever heard a lady call another female that term.This may be the lowest I have ever seen on a board by a poster.
