BULL vs. Samurai - 2019 RG QF

[GameSetAndMath]

What will happen?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Here are the odds - Just for this match.

Bull 1/25 (96%)

Samurai 20 (4%)

 

[Bonaca]

This is the easiest forecast: Unfortunately Bull in easy 3 .

 

[Federberg]

There was a time when Kei was dangerous for Rafa, but he seems to have regressed. Even if he has a sterling day, his serve in Paris is going to be such an easy out for Rafa that there'll be many breaks. At his best Kei will also break Rafa frequently, but not frequently enough. I foresee an easy straight sets win for Rafa if Kei isn't absolutely at his best. If he is at his best then we could get 3 competitive sets but that's the most optimistic I can be for Nishikori

I could not agree with you more.

After deliberating all aspects of this yesterday, I’ve decided to be brave, and go with Rafa in 3.

Nishikori broken already.

I just think it's hilarious nobody included any options for Kei to win by retirement. Or do we expect Rafa would never retire, but hobble and win on one knee.

 

[DarthFed]

Nishikori broken already.

Shameless bull isn't satisfied with 11

Not until he surpasses Federer.

Remember Madrid, when Kei "won" the match. Even then it was Ralph winning by retirement.

That's what I'm afraid of. That's why I always talk about Federer having potentially underachieved. No doubt in my mind he left way too many majors on the table. Now he's probably too damn old to do anything about it.

Apparently, he's practicing his greed like you want Fed to do all the time.

Yep. Somehow Roger going for a 9th Wimbledon would not be greedy.

I never said I held the greed against Naddy. I just want the fucker gone. Go back to that lovely island and leave this sport alone.

9 is shit compared to 12

 

[tented]

Rafa up 6-1, 6-1

I know what you mean. It is so painfull to watch the play of disgusting bull. I think in this tournament only Novak has a slight chance.

I think they will move the girls on to PC now.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

If Roger makes it to the semis, his only chance of beating Rafa will be because of Rafa's lack of match play...Jeez...
