2018 Wimbledon Championships - Men

[DarthFed]

How do you go from beating Roger in the Halle final to "this"? These youngsters majorly lack consistency and ambition.

Borna down MP. Meanwhile, Grandma Venus is out there still winning against these youngsters.

Damn Doctor Youz is blowing this 3rd set. I'd like to see the Mad Russian make the 3rd round against Roger.

 

[DarthFed]

Still is funny seeing Grigor and Stan in a first round match. Cilic draw has the potential to be somewhat difficult or extremely easy and it depends on the health and form of Raonic and Grigor.

 

[DarthFed]

With Borna out I'd say Roger's C game gets him to the semis. Just has to prevent a "Halle" match out of nowhere.

Encouraging start by Milos, defeating the British WC Liam Brody: 7-5, 6-0, 6-1.
He fired 18 aces in the process.

There is an obvious reason why it took Borna 3 years to get into the top 25, after getting into the top 50 at 18y of age.
Back then he was one of the most promising young players, now we know how inconsistent he is.
He can best top ranked players, but also losing to lower ranked players often.

These boring clowns peak against Fed must be the most irritating thing ever. Glad that pusher is out.

Feds path clearer now till atleast SF.

Tons of service breaks today. How are the courts looking? I'm almost afraid to ask.

Stars might be aligned for another Fedal final?

I think is not the courts, it is the warm weather

Non Fedal fans hoping for another outcome. It is seriously boring by now.

Because...it's like I always say - players get hyped to play Roger and play far above their normal level. Then they're back to playing everybody else and they're back to being mediocre. Guys don't get hyped super-hyped to play Nadal, Djokovic (except for Chung) or Murray - just Roger.

Nadal doesn't belong anywhere near the final.

 

[monfed]

These courts look slow and bouncy thanks to the hot weather. Luckdull strikes again.

Been laying low for awhile until Wimbledon...and what's the first thing I see today? Roger sold out and took Uniqlo's money instead of staying loyal to Nike. All I have to say to Roger is...

This problem is not exclusive to Roger though. It happens this way alot when dealing w/ a young gun vs. a top player. Some of them really raise their level for the elite and then struggle w/ players of their norm caliber.

Don't hold your breath. Nadal will find someone to lose to long before the final. And Cilic is super-motivated, so he's going to be looking to get revenge on Roger for his last 3 Slam losses to Roger. I'd bet losing up 2-sets to love with 3 match points to a guy playing on 1 leg hurt a lot more than the blisters on his feet last year. GOAT or not...that had to suck big time.
