2019 Australian Open, Melbourne - ATP GRAND SLAM

[Andy22]

Its going to be a awesome event Nadal not going to win the AO because his cursed, but he will definitely beat federer easy with his new game style his been working on just for federer. If the curse lets nadal get that far, also that guy who said djokovic will not win the AO14 said he will not this year?

 

[Andy22]

If Thiem can take Rafa to 5 on an HC then he has no shot against Roger. See how silly that is?

Do you think thiem would have taken nadal to 5 sets if nadal had not had those 2 long matches and Injury before No of course not.

The dark okay, but how can you be afraid of dogs? They are mans best friend.

He might have had a bad experience of 1. I've known people who got bit by 1 & they've been scared of all dogs since. I'm scared of all Alsatians, Dobermans & Staffies except them I know but I've known some that have been very friendly. I come from a dog family. My parents had the 1st dog I knew before they had me. My favourite type of dog is the sheepdog. I love all dogs except the afore-mentioned & I love the afore-mentioned if they're friendly. I know that some dogs are nasty because of how they were treated in the past though.

A new game style? Is he planning on hitting it flatter to Roger's backhand? Sounds like a great idea.

What is this new game that he plans to use against Federer?

What is this new game that he plans to use against Federer?

Nadal going to hit the ball flatter to federer backhand, which will stop federer getting the easy points he got in 2017 against nadal. Also DarthFed is way over confident seeing as nadal has not even tested it against federer.

Do you have any websites with that information?

Do you have any websites with that information?

I seen it yesterday, I most likely be found it again and link it.

Buddy, Nadal not hitting flat to Roger's backhand is the main reason for his success in the H2H.

 

[Front242]

I seen it yesterday, I most likely be found it again and link it.

That's not what he's been working on. He's got a new serve and has been working on trying to do first strike tennis to end points in a few shots.

Pretty sure if he has any brains he should be looking for ways to beat Djokovic rather than Federer. Just saying. Federer is 37.

At least your opening claim is grounded in reality unlike someone like Nadalfan2013.

HUGE DROP

2. Roger 26/5 (16.13%)
3. Ralph 9 (10%)
4. Sasha 12 (7.70%)

Large Drop

5. Karen Khachanov 30 (3.22%)
6. Anderson 31 (3.13%)

No that was one of things nadal been working on, Carlos mayo, also been trying to get nadal change how he hits to federer backhand. you might this link but it is there if you look hard enough

nadal new game style would work on djokovic as well, even at AO19

They did. They had the dog 1st. I was born later on & the dog was still alive. He died when I was 3. :0)

 

[Nadalfan2013]

De Minaur Is one of the hottest players on tour winning Sydney and he is set to meet Nadal early on at the AO. If he was in Federer’s section there would have been 10 threads about it mentionning how unlucky Federer is and how his draw is so difficult.
