It's unbelievable that in the Dubai tournament where Nadal is not playing his name also has to come out, what a obsession :p

Tennis would be a much better sport to follow if Nadal's name/picture didn't have to come up in every friggin' forum, thread, timeline and discusssion. Got old eight years ago.

Wow! Did you see that Djokovic down the line And at match point down! Unbelieveable!

That was good, but Nadal's groin grab has me really concerned about...

I'm rubbing my hands with glee looking forward to Coric-Federer. Let's see what this young whipper-snapper is all about!

Or it can be one-time wonder like Jerzy Janowicz. Two weeks peak and gone.

haha! True. But he seems to have a bit more substance. I haven't entirely given up on Jerzy, but he's a nutcase, while Coric, has a bit of stone cold killa about him

Jerzy was not a one time wonder. He has had a master final and a GS semifinal run. And Coric is too young to make a cynical prediction about. He has had two top 10 wins, that is really good at his age.
The way he is moving up is constant.
 
A

auto-pilot

Coric is scary, because he looks like he can out-run anyone (in best of 3 sets anyways).

I don't want to be a wet blanket but Jerzy seems to be "a promise made a sad reaslity" :cry and about Coric we should ask those two top players how they played those matches.......:cry

Roger to a quick set 6-2. Borna has to calm down. Tantrum will not do the job.

Looking like Coric's Big Four head-hunting will be stalled.

I guess we shouldn't be too surprised. He's being exposed right now. This was always going to be a test. He's very solid from the back, but he's being forced into a situation where he has to come up with winners, and Roger's showing he doesn't have the power... yet

Coric has to work on that serve. Ain't too good.
