Early Grass Talk - 2019

Note that Flink says that the court can play like a HC, not a clay court, in the second week. That's something Feddies push heavy on. I know you're always looking for a Nadal loss, but are you really that worried about him? If Federer is so great on grass, and Nadal so crap on it, (per Darth,) I'm surprised that you bother with him, at all. Are you not more worried about Djokovic?

Also Moxie, there's a chance Federer and Djokovic could meet in the Wimbledon semifinals if Federer does not win Halle.

I am not worried about Nadal beating Federer at this year's Wimby. Yes, I am certainly worried about Novak possibly beating Fed.

But, Fed could be upset by a big server too early and Ralph might get a path to trophy that does not go through Fed. This is
the nightmare scenario. In this case diff will become 1 and then Ralph is sure to pass by tacking couple more dirty trophies.

The court plays like trash is the point. It's a big part of the reason Fed has been awful at the business end of that slam.

Hopefully not, Nadal has gotten enough joke draws at recent majors. Since Roger is set on playing Halle he will probably win it.

Wow, now you sound like Monfed...you happy about that?

dull will be hard to stop if he reaches the second week.

faker got very lucky with the open roof otherwise dull would've taken him down in 4 sets.

Nope.

Nadal's draw and the weather made it a total dream for him last year at Wimbledon and he still lost to a pretty terrible version of Novak.

If no roof, dull would've beaten faker to a pulp. dull is useless under the roof. No bounce no Nadull.

 

[monfed]

Nope.

Where is your argument?

 

[DarthFed]

If no roof, dull would've beaten faker to a pulp. dull is useless under the roof. No bounce no Nadull.

And if Novak was playing well at the time the roof wouldn't have mattered. Any decent version of Novak off clay takes Nadal to the woodshed. We've seen enough examples of that the past 8 years.

 

[Shivashish Sarkar]

Nadal could very well beat Federer at Wimbledon considering the run of form he is in. But. That's only a possibility not a certainty. Federer is going to be tougher.

 

[Bonaca]

Where is your argument?

I will be frank, if Roger loses again to that grass court scrub it will be time to hang up the racquet.

faker may enter another 2017 type slump after this RG defeat. Anyway, Cant depend on faker all the time to save tennis. It is high time others step up.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I am expecting that D-minor will have a good run at Wimby.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

So, Sasha and Perseus, a couple of leading pretenders at Wimby cannot even reach QF in 250 grass tourneys of this week.

 

[Jelenafan]

Talking about the grasscourts, it’s always fun to see the players flopping about at the first grass tourney they’ve had in a year. You can almost see their brains churning “ it’s grass! Should I go to net? Hardcourts don’t get these bad bounces!”

Paraphrasing Colonel Kilgore: “ah I love the smell of flailing grass-court tennis in the morning...”

 

[DarthFed]

I am expecting that D-minor will have a good run at Wimby.

That little cupcake will be eaten up within the first couple rounds
