Somewhere on the edge of society.

I am surprised so many people think Federer will win. His h2h is not great against Tsonga, this is Tsonga's best slam and certainly not Federer's best. Federer is old, Tsonga does not feel the age yet. Federer only barely beat him last year here, and let's be honest, it all went downhill after that.

It's going to be tight, but I'd give Tsonga the edge at the moment.

Again, you are incorrect.

And where was your prediction, smartypants? Pointing out something without having the guts to make your own predictions?

Roger's match will be on Tennis Channel in about ninety minutes from now for those who missed it.

denisovich typically doesn't know what he is talking about. He pays more attention to Nadal's draw and his opponents than Novak's homecoming parade at the AO.

Classy post.

It's rather easy to point out something or someone after a match than before. Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you get it wrong. Obviously I was wrong with Fed, I expected more from Tsonga, but he didn't deliver and Federer showed up big time. It can happen.

I haven't seen any tennis intellegence from you for what it is worth. You're just one of the many Nadal-fanboys here with nothing substantial to add to the discussion.

I don't waste time on endless debates with basically obtuse people. I used too though.......now I just enjoy the good posts from few and the comedy from many.

The majority of your posts are stifling. I'm looking forward to your take on Wawa/Novak match. It could be another classic or not....it depends right?

I suggest you go take a look in the thread that was created for it. Are you sadomasochistic by the way? You look forward to my posts that are stifling to you?

Ok. I'll make one prediction: You'll be wrong more times than you'll be correct. :laydownlaughing

Fantastic. :clap

OK guys, let's not go in with boots on wrong predictions, particularly if you never made one.

It's supposed to be a bit of fun and everybody will get some wrong.

You're only saying that because you predicted your boy Gulbis will make a deep run :)

Someone asked Nadal this:

Q. You make dozens of routines before each serve. Why don't you do this during practice sessions?
RAFAEL NADAL: Because I am not that focused.

What a stupid question...
