If Novak will win in Cincy, he will have won each master event twice!
It would be an awesome record to accomplish.

He just needs '20 FO & he w/b the most balanced, winning player in the history of the game! He'll have taken all 14 major events twice!

Hope, he focusses on winning all 500s twice after that.

The only 500 Nole cared about probably's in China! He gets to show off skills speaking the language after he wins it for the 9th time!

Just checked the scores and was shocked to see that Roger lost and that too in straight sets. Did not see the match as I was at work. I have not read this forum either. I hope someone who watched would have shed some light. Am going to read now.

Federer started slow getting broken twice in his first two service games and then settled well and could've broken in the 4th game of set 2 if not for a terrible linecall.

Had trouble returning 1st serve of rublev and his slice wasn't bothering Andrei and he was trying to shorten points/didn't want to rally much so made some kamikaze netrushes(7/19 netpts won) which were punished.
He looked disinterested like he didn't want to fight or change gears/strategy.

Can't read too much into this loss though since this was a typical fast court loss where a loose service game can cost you the match.

But lack of matches(only played 2 1-hour matches without many rallies) could be tricky at USO especially in week 1

Thanks for the summary. I get a good picture now.

Oh great another title faker will vulture. I think his entire career from 2015 should be asterisked. This is way too much vulturing.

Firstly, he hasn't won Cincy yet. Second, why is everything Djokovic and Nadal win "vultering," when Roger "vultured" (your parlance)12 Majors before Nadal turned 22 and finally managed to extend his career off-clay? No asterisk on that?

Federer started slow getting broken twice in his first...

Translation: Federer got his ass whipped.

Good stuff from Novak against Busta. Much better than first match.
The job isnt done yet. But dont forget , the main goal is US Open.
Idemo!!!

Have you encountered this in Australia, @britbox?

Ha, no mate. But there are native Aussies on here who might be in a better position to answer, He's not getting much love in the press right now.

 

[Bonaca]

Watched the Fed match and was shocked, Rublev played light out and Fed only mediocre.
But surly he isnt done, he is one of the favorites in NY, for me still above Bull on HC.

As usual you're clueless.

LOL the way the tour is, MS are like 500s now.

I'm not a native OZ but I concur with BB: definitely no. Kyrgios' verbal abuse at Murphy (in lieu of a handshake) is equally disgusting and equally meaningful in all cultures that I know, especially Australian.

Fuck off troll

Forgive him, he's still wounded by his boy not being able to get past a 38 year old at Wimbledon, the same 38 year old that just lost badly to a nobody on a surface that actually suits his game well.

He isn't winning USO. Fed hasn't done well at majors for awhile now, he will need to regroup for 2020.

Regroup for what? He's 38. LOL

Fed played like a retard against faker and effectively ended his career. The guy just refuses to learn from his mistakes.

I have to try to be a bit optimistic by talking about a 2020 regroup Roger still has the game to win but the mind, general consistency, and body are all obvious obstacles at this point. I like the idea of him tinkering with a new racquet. At his age you have to be willing to change things quickly when things clearly aren't working (tactics, prep, racquet, etc). And Roger has done crappy for over 1.5 years now.

Chances are he's done for good. He's definitely done for this year. And after this upcoming early USO loss Id prefer he takes the rest of the year off, but we know that won't happen.
