Upset Corner - AO 2017 Edition

[Front242]

The only way it will be a beat down is if Roger can't move and serve properly, which we'll find out in a few hours.

you seem to have left out the past 2 AO matches they played where it was a almost routine rafa victory. one in straights and other one in 4 sets. so yes i think if fed plays somewhat well hell make this interesting maybe rafa wins in 4 sets. if not this will be a beatdown.

I didn't leave them out; we were discussing GS finals. 2014 AO was indeed a routine victory for rafa, but I don't think we can extrapolate from that. It came after the great 2013 for Rafa, and just after Fed changed his racquet. Even so it doesn't qualify as a "beatdown" any more than 2016 AO final IMO.

It's not even true that the H2H is less one-sided for Djokovic v Murray (11 out of 36 for Murray versus 11 out of 34 for Fed).

If you look at their recent H2H, say since 2013, then it is 6-1 Nadal-Fed. 15-4 Djokovic-Murray. But that is perhaps a little unfair to Fed, as most of the matches there are from 2013, which was an amazing year for Nadal and a bad one for Federer.

My point is that, while it is entirely possible that this will be an easy victory for Nadal, your statement does not seem to be backed up by the evidence.

I should also say that I haven't got anything against Djokovic-Murray finals.

Compared to watching Pong with Novak and Andy ? :nono

would rather watch a competitive final than a beat down

What a beat down it is so far ...

Roger's pulled that out of his arse many times; comes out blazing! It won't last; even if I'd prefer the title to go to him! Rafa has plenty of time to right the ship and is already beginning to work Roger over; pretty much running him into the ground in the early part of this 2nd set! He's broken Fed and I think the wheels will start coming off soon! Roger's missing and is paying for it! :nono :angel: :dodgy: :cover

Sad but true - but it can hardly be called a beat down given that Fed won the first set, even if he gets bagelled in the second.

Andy Murray comes with an excuse for upset. He says he had shingles right after coming home from AO loss and for all he knows he might have had it when he was playing against Misha. :cover

Who cares? Don't play! Sounding more and more like Nadal all the time! "I never lose unless something's wrong!" :cover

You keep trolling Murray Front,Maybe you should change your board name to Murray Troll :laydownlaughing .Roger lost @ Dubai he must have played on one leg:lolz:

 

[Front242]

Trolling him? No, I'm pointing out a fact yet again. He told the press he showed his mother in law his arse and she said it could be shingles and to go see a doctor. If Roger played on leg and only lost by 2 points I'd say that's more impressive than anything Murray could do in his sleep. Should laugh at that instead.
