Australian Open 2016

Maybe best hope for Rafa is for Andy Murray wife's pregnancy(Andy said he would pull out ) to come within the next 48 hours so Rafa can move into top 4,seeds

Unintentionally hilarious post but seems he didn't pull out and that's why she's in her current situation :snicker

Great reply Fronty

Let me get this straight, are you telling me (Wilander and others) because Novak has won this year one tournament 250 and though playing not so well but has beaten an opponent in the final who had a very bad serve and playing pretty bad then he is going to win every GS, he is unbeatable, nobody in the tennis history has played like him, he also will win Olympics and etc etc etc? what else? really? are you kidding me?
Let's go to see what happens since now, who is going to play better or worse, of course I hope to see some of the players to play MUCH BETTER than 2015. Many things can happen, but I think if they play better then we'll see better matches for sure. Maybe it would be smarter to talk about all those incredible achievements at the end of the year, isn't? :huh:

By your own admission, you never saw the match. So forgive yourself for the commentary that is inaccurate.

I doubt it was based on one tournament let alone one match... if you read the article, Wilander said he would win it all last year. Nole came within one (1) match of proving him right. So roll your little eyeballs all you want to.

Carol for the last time Nadal was not playing very bad. He was actually playing quite the opposite. He played very well. Novak was just amazing that day. And I also think Wilander's comments are dense. Wilander was wrong last year and he'll be wrong this year 'cos Novak will not win all four. My guess is this year he wins 2 slams.

She never watched it ... and she never would believe anything you say. :snicker So she made up her own scenario of what happened.

Yep, I've never saw the match but I read and heard a lot about it

Well you read it from a stupid biased Nadal fan site 'cos he did not play very badly. Watch the highlights and judge for yourself. Novak was just incredible that day. And you even said (again without watching it) "Novak has won this year one tournament 250 and though playing not so well". Watch the highlights, try and find the whole match 'cos if that's your idea of not so well I'd give up watching tennis 'cos you won't see a guy play a better match than that.

 

[Front242]

Just by the way...since you rarely ever believe anything you read/hear from anyone who isn't either a Nadal fan or Nadal himself then maybe you should actually believe Nadal 'cos I'm sure you've read his post match comments about Novak's level in that final.

"'I played against a player who did everything perfect,'' Nadal said. ''I know nobody playing tennis like this ever. Since I know this sport, I never saw somebody playing at this level.

''When I say perfect, it's not one thing in particular. It's everything. If not, it's not perfect.''

So maybe you need to reconsider your thought that Novak played not so well. And maybe watch the match too next time before commenting the complete opposite of what actually is the case.

However Front you fell to includes Rafa says that " nobody(including Djokovic) can play at the level always, his level will drop and I will wait for my moment"

 

[Carol]

I've read what Nadal said about Novak and if you remember I posted that comment at that time but Nadal always has had the greatness to give the credit to who deserve it, Novak played much better than him that day, but he forgot to say that he played very poor, starting with his serve and lack of agressivity been unable to break at least once which if he would have played just a little better he could made it more than once
And yes, I read a lot but not just from Nadal's fans, I read articles from different sources and I like talk with good followers tennis and not precisely fans of only one player......:cover :dodgy:

Novak played so well he could have given Feliciano Lopez a run for his money.

[Carol]

When a player doesn't have a good serve and doesn't play good then his opponent always looks like Superman, I've saw that many times......
By the way one who has telling me about Rafa played bad was "a stupid biased Roger's fan" :snicker :laydownlaughing :lolz:

Yes you got that right..lol also Fed's draw aint that easy, we will also have to wish n pray that he makes the semis, along with rooting for Nole's opponents :cover:cover

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed faces dog in R2 and black heart in R3. Further he gets Nick/Bird in QF. Fed's draw is not easy by any means.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Rafa gets Verdasco for the opener. Remember the 5 hour long SF from years ago. That is now downgraded to 1st round.

 

[Carol]

Raonic-Wawrinka could be very interesting
