She can't stand Federer so what do you expect. No one expected Roger to lose yesterday unless they're deranged and delusional. I very much doubt Tommy himself expected to win but he gladly lapped up that creamy error prone goodness and can't hit a barn door side garnish of gunk. With Fed's record versus Robredo, 2 sets lost in 10 matches and 27 sets before that I seriously can't see how anyone expected a Robredo win other than wishful thinking. But then it's the same as people voting for their favourite player in polls even when they don't expect them to win or voting against someone 'cos you dislike them. Pointless nonsense at its best. Vote and think realistically.

It's not a nonsense, it was a correct prediction from my part, you may like it or not
I based my prediction on the beginning of Olderer's season (Stakhovsky, Delbonis, Brands...)
I'n not as blind as you are because I'm not an Olderer's fan that's probably because I'm not surprised when he loses (he made 43 errors, he helped Robredo a lot even if the Spaniard played well)
I'm not deranged or delusional, I don't believe in "Oh he'll win another GS" or "Oh, he'll come back in top 3 in 2014"...all those comments from dreamers who could be more deranged than I am...
Blindness is a common attitude from bitter fans as well as beeing mad at people who predicted a loss
Now you can say Olderer isn't done, it's your right but don't count on me to believe this kind of "nonsense"

^^^^^

That is why I like Isabelle... whether we agree or not, she calls things as she sees them, and doesn't get intimidated.

:clap

'intimidation' is too complicated for her, there are 3 and only 3 tunes in her mind: Fed sucks, Fed loses, and Fed is an a-hole. About Fed loses, she is bound to get it right at some stage, certainly this year - and she will come out and celebrate her excellent prediction, and she would boast about it for all to see :laydownlaughing

I can only say congratulations, well done :clap

Bingo! Look at the exact wording and punctuation of the "prediction":

"maybe will he be Stakovskysed before (?)"

The use of "maybe" and ending with a question mark aren't indicators of an accurate, bold prediction; they signal a guess, and this time she got lucky.

isn't she smart? now i know how to 'predict' boldly without ever going wrong, put a maybe and question mark in each sentence - then i will claim the credit each and every time.

now maybe will he be Youzhny before (?)

Well that's Isabelle, isn't she? It makes no sense to even comment about her comments

Boy, how many people hate that Isabelle was spot on about Mr Vavrinec (hilarious).

Wait, you mean Federer fans are upset that someone's prediction about their player losing came true? This is revolutionary stuff! If I predict that Novak loses to Wawrinka, and he does, I'm fairly sure Novak fans wouldn't like the fact that my prediction came true, since ya know, their player lost.

Not sure what's hilarious, other than your continuous stupidity.
