Sasha played well, I guess tsar Ivan made him improve his mental, next Milos a tricky opponent, not a walk in the park for sure

Nadal cleary been in the best form out of the big three in the first week its the best nadal ever hit his forehand. And his new serve is awesome, dont know why federer trolls think hes going to win the AO19 he's never won three, AO titles in a row. also has been owned by djokovic for 3 years now federer is djokovic door mat now?

I think you got that mixed up as Djokovic has clearly beaten Nadal a lot more the last few years than Federer who only started losing to him once he was ancient. In addition, Federer has also beaten prime Djokovic a lot which kinda puts things in perspective. Took him years to finally beat him at Cinci and when he finally did it was a mere break per set against an old man playing horrific.

I also wouldn't say Nadal's been the best this first week, he's just had a far easier draw. Evans would've given Nadal hell.

I think you got it mixed up buddy, because since 2016 djokovic is 4-2 against nadal/ as for federer djokovic is 3-0 against federer in the some time, so clearly thats not a lot worse than federer like you said. Its nadal with the better against Djokovic over the last 3 years, also nadal beat Djokovic last year and federer did not.

Where in my post above did I ever type the last 3 years? Let me remind you Federer is 37 years old so you'd obviously expect Djokovic to beat him as the world number 1 in his absolute prime, yet he's lost numerous times to a geriatric and Nadal lost 5 straight times to the same geriatric.

you said last fews years that means 2016-2019 unless, you mean before that in case you should have said 2015 or 2014, regeardless nadal has twice as many slams wins over djokovic than federer.

You have no grounds at all to base that on. And everyone was looking for De Minaur to give Rafa a rough time...I don't remember anyone calling out Evans as a particular threat to anyone. Most of the commies also think that Rafa is the one looking best atm.

I never thought the skinny little De Minaur who has no power at all would cause any trouble and he lost to him by the exact same scoreline as their Wimbledon match. Dan Evans was on a very good roll before getting banned for cocaine use which is frankly dumb anyway as cocaine isn't performance enhancing. Not for tennis anyway. De Minaur is a very fast player and that's about it as he has nowhere near enough offensive power unlike Evans who has a decent serve, pretty awesome slice and great offensive skills. Federer himself said it was almost like looking in the mirror for a little bit in their match meaning he has a very good game obviously.

Btw most of the forum must have forgotten Evans took Stan to 5 sets the year he won the USO in 2016. He's a damn good player on his day.

Evans 2-6 against Top-10 players including a slam win,Held MP against Stan in that USO match
De Minaur is 0-9.in fact has no wins against top-20

He does no match up well against nadal, evan would lost in straight sets if he plays nadal this season, sorry we are not buying that you are selling dude evan sucks he done nothing in tennis. Also wawrinka always was a slow starter in slams, that match which evan still lost does nothing but show wawrinka need to start slams better.

5'9", one handed bh? I still think you have no basis to think that he'd have troubled Rafa. Different player, different match-up.

Rafa also has clearly played the weakest slot of opponents. Both he and Roger had one relatively shaky match, difference is Evans is clearly better than the Duck

Sure he sucks that's why he had match point against Wawrinka the year Stan won the USO in 2016. You're trying to say Nadal is playing the best of the top 3 mostly based on the scorelines of his wins but failing to note the opponents were easier too. Yeah, may well have still beaten Evans in straights sets but not with the same scorelines he beat De Minaur, Ebden or Duckworth. Not a hope.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

It means a lot to me that you're at least not on the anti-Mary Carillo train. So many are. I think she's smart and funny. I don't mind the goofy.

Carillo is like cilantro...She ruins everything

I haven’t heard commies saying Rafa is the best so far among the top three. What I heard from Carhill is that he has been awesome, but I haven’t heard any comparisons of the three.

No evan sucks because because won no big titles, and his ranking is low, thats a fact that evan sucks not a opinion, and having a match point does not make you a good player. Also Alex minaur is in the top 30 in the world, so clearly hes a better player. even Matt.Ebden higher ranked, duck yea I give you that one. Plus M.ebden beat J.isner last year at AO, he has more big wins over top players

Wow...really funny how much virtual ink was spilled around here contemplating De Miñaur's chances v. Rafa when the draw came out, and now it's Dan Evans that was the real threat, now that we look at it in retrospect. Who knew?

Duck was nadal first rd match not his second, that was M.Ebden who is higher ranked than evans.
