Nole will meet Pouille in quarter

 

[calitennis127]

Wow at the weak entry list... If Djokovic isn't able to vulture this tournament then it will be extremely embarrassing...

It's not as easy a draw as Doha with Nadal in it though.

 

[Andy22]

worst event of the year

 

[isabelle]

Goffin beat Shapo

 

[Fiero425]

Goffin beat Shapo

The last 3 seeds are in the top half of the draw; tons of upset in the lower with Qualifiers and WC running the show! Whoever makes the final will have a real chance to pick up points! Nole should take it, but ya never know! :whistle:

 

[Andy22]

thiem would have beaten Djokovic if he was playing japan open this will go down as Djokovic easiest title of his career for sure.

 

[isabelle]

Nole in semi

 

[calitennis127]

thiem would have beaten Djokovic if he was playing japan open this will go down as Djokovic easiest title of his career for sure.

Considering that it is a tournament in Asia on hardcourts, Thiem almost certainly would have beaten Nadal as well.

I'm not really sure what the deal was with Djokovic's shoulder.....how was it so bad that he had to withdraw against Wawrinka but okay enough that he can play like this in Tokyo?

Something does not add up there.

 

[Andy22]

thiem+nadal game style will always be better than players like Federer, dimitrov that's why both nadal+thiem have winning h2h against them.

Congratulations on yet another stupid post. Thiem total slams won = 0 and Federer total slams won = 20. Someone wasn't very good at school.

Sure it does. He's had over a month to recover.

yea your pretty dumb learn to read maybe you was [home schooled] I did not say thiem was a better player than Federer I said thiem has a better game style than Federer which is true h2h 4-2, of course Federer a better player than thiem but his game style will never be as good players like [nadal,djokovic thiem] end of story.

I can read fine you blabbering buffoon. How the fuck can anyone with a brain claim Thiem has a better game style than a guy who has won 20 slams when his own game has won him the square root of fuck all slams, ie none/zero/nada ?!

you can be a much better player than someone but not have as good game style like Federer example- Nalbandian had a better game style than Roddick but never won a grand slam, which meant Roddick will always be a better overall player because of his great start to his career in which he won the [us open] of course Nalbandian was always are much more complete player. some with Federer he's a much better player overall but does not have a good as game style as thiem, the only reason why thiem has not won a slam is because of [nadal] mentality strong era etc... by the way its 2019 and Federer still loseing to a clay court player off clay thiem Indian wells final 2019 lol.

Thiem > Federer? Seriously?

Thiem > Federer? Seriously?

no read my post before you judge me I said Federer a far better than thiem that's a fact its not about overall player or talent Federer much better in both its more about game plan+style which in my opinion thiem is better at so make that clear I already know Federer a [much better player] which you would know if read my post the right way.

Complete is relative. Nalbandian had an amazing backhand and his baseline skills were top notch but his serve was crap, he never hit it with much pace and hit an absolute ton of double faults. Roddick was not just a better player because of "his great start to his career". His whole career was better full stop and it was mostly his beastly serve and forehand in his prime that made him better. 4 slam semi finals for Nalbandian and 1 slam final. 0 zero wins. Roddick made 5 slam semi finals and 5 slam finals, winning 1 of them at the 2003 US Open. Roddick won 32 titles and reached world number 1, Nalbandian won 11 titles and reached world number 3. Plus keep entertaining us with your gem posts.

Btw, Thiem scraped past a 37 year old near retirement in 2 very close 3 set matches but yeah clearly worthy of a lol and being "owned" haha. You're something else ffs.

PS: I have more bad news for you. Federer beat Thiem 6-2 6-3 at the WTF 2018 so better start praying that he's going to "beat easy Federer" when his game sucks indoors. Good luck to hm standing miles behind the baseline and taking forever to hit his shots on that court.

@Nadal goat2 Don't waste your time with Federer (and Djokovic) fans. Recently they even said that Federer had a higher peak than Nadal on clay. :cuckoo: For them Federer is so perfect he's the best at everything. Of course you are right that Thiem has a better game style than Federer, they are just in denial. What will they argue next, that Federer has a better looking butt than Thiem?

Lol.....you only get away with making these sorts of comments because of your "sexual orientation," which is glorified nowadays.
