Western & Southern Open - Cincinnati (Men)

I think Roger takes care of Murray handily and actually wins the tournament.

Roger's been ridiculously fun to watch at this tournament. Half volleying service returns? Very good form and he seems to be enjoying himself out there. I would not be surprised if he wins it all.

Except he hasn't been much fun for Carol so far :snicker

Nole has an ideal opportunity to win Cincy, I don't think Murray can beat him a second time after Montréal if he reaches final . If Federer beats Murray in semi, he'll be clueless vs Nole in final
My prediction is Nole wins Cincy 2015, lets' see if my cristal ball is OK soon

He was clueless in 2012 alright. 6-0 7-6. Roger loves this court.

in 2012, Nole was more than tired, it was OG's year and Federer skipped Toronto not Nole....this year Nole can't say he's exhausted and I guess he's a better player than in 2012, Federer isn't, he won nothing important in 2015 like he did in 2012 .

This has nothing to do with fatigue. When he plays well, Roger is still the best player in the world on fast hard courts even at 34 and the facts back it up. Roger beat Novak in straight sets at Shanghai late 2014 and Dubai earlier this year. Both are fast courts. He will not be clueless on his best surface despite how much we all know you can't stand him.

I'm not going to say Murray wins Cincy,but if he does,it's the same points as winning a Slam with last week.I Reckon that's food for thought.

I don't think he's a better player than Nole today, the fact I can stand it or not isn't a factor, I don't make a player win or lose, I haven't this kind of power !! First he has to beat Murray before Nole, wait tonight

Fair enough but the facts tell you he actually is a better player on fast hard courts. Roger also beat Novak at Dubai 2014 as well as 2015. The fact that all 3 wins came on fast hard courts should tell you something.

Wrong, to tell you the true I don't care what Rogelio does, losing or winning doesn't affect to me, I don't have anything against him but I can't say the same thing about some of his followers.......:s :devil :cover

 

[Front242]

^ Yeah right, "vamos Feli, make me happy" sounds like love for Roger alright! 'cos I mean, there are tons of fans of Feliciano Lopez out there!

 

[Kieran]

Give it a break, Front, you cheer against Rafa no matter when he plays. Why are you finding it so strange that anyone would cheer against Federer?

I think Andy needs to grab this one by the scruff. He played okay in the Wimbledon semi - until the business end of sets, where he typically lay back and waited, instead of upping the intensity. Federer is a man who doesn't need an invite to step in and he won all the big points there. Andy impressed in the way he held it all together in Montreal, but I fancy he's had it too tough here in Cinci to trouble the relentlessly sharp and speedy Federer...

 

[Carol]

Muzz has played too much in the three last weeks and some of the matches were very intense and long while Roger looks too fresh and also you can tell he has had a good training so this could help him a lot to win the semis though Muzz is a strong guy and his head seems to be more "stable" so we'll see.
Goooo Muz :clap

I've no problem admitting I can't stand Nadal but to see someone like her who clearly can't stand Federer pretty much deny it is just silly. It'll come down to who serves best tonight. Murray's 2nd serve is still one of the most attackable shots in tennis but his first serve when it lands in the court is very good so he needs that to win.

I wait in vain for the Deathless One to show his age, lose some sharpness particularly, in his reflexes and reactions. He's impossibly conditioned and this will help him on returns, especially if Andy is missing first serves...

I don't love Roger, neither Feli but seeing how much you "love" Rafa I have more fun if Rofer loses, catch it?

 

[Front242]

Not a problem. I've no idea who Rofer is anyway. I guess the Spanish version of Rover the dog.

Are you kidding me? to deny what! do you think that I would care to say that I can't stand Roger? again, I don't love him but I don't care what he does, of course I like more others players, that's all, any
problem with that? come on, don't be a child :cover

It's Chinese for ROFL...

Last I'm saying about this. You did actually pretty much deny it here http://www.tennisfrontier.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4219&pid=205424#pid205424

"Wrong, to tell you the true I don't care what Rogelio does, losing or winning doesn't affect to me, I don't have anything against him but I can't say the same thing about some of his followers......"

You don't have anything against him except you want him to lose to everyone, winning or losing doesn't affect you, yet Lopez winning would make you happy "vamos Feli, make me happy tonight". Look, I couldn't care less how you feel about Federer, honestly, but just pointing you completely 100% contradicted yourself in that post.
