Djokovic v Nadal in the Doha final.

Djokovic gave Nadal a good kicking, 6-1 6-2.

It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever.

Three double faults from Raonic in the game gives Fed break point!

Raonic holds, 2-2.

Poor from Fed.

McNamara That Ghost...

Raonic breaks and leads 4-3 in the second!

Fed has gone back to Rotterdam 2013 levels.

GB came through 3-1 to reach the quarters of the Davis Cup.

Serbia also won 3-2 yesterday, so the two will meet just after Wimbledon, meaning Djok v Muzza.

I'm sure 4th is consoling her.

She's hardly a 'drugs cheat' btw, if her version of events is true she's been on this medication for years to help with some medical condition and they've only just banned it. Yes, she and her team should have spotted it but some of the coverage is overly hysterical.

Kano

If her version is true. She's a slick PR operator so the absolute truth will never come out, unless one of her team so the dirty on her in years to come.

Yeah - would love to know precisely what 'medical condition' the medication was supposed to treat. Its supposed to be taken for 4 weeks! Smacks of a PR stunt to me (but then i'm cynical...).

So where do you Tennis guys stand on the row about equal pay?

McNamara That Ghost...
23-03-2016, 11:07 PM
It's not their fault it isn't best of five at Slams but I think it's unfair for equal pay at those tournaments.

tbh.

If there's more interest in the men's game then it's going to generate more money ergo they should get more money.
The equality argument goes out of the window when you're talking about a profession where the money earned is proportional to the money generated.

So where do you Tennis guys stand on the row about equal pay?
Where is there to stand but with common sense?

It's not a wage its prize money. Where do they think the money comes from?

Sponsors and ticket sales are disproportionately in favour of the mens game yet they get a much small % of the revenue. 'Equal pay' would be giving the men more.

You don't pay men and women footballers the same, rugby players don't get the same as footballers etc.

In the entertainment industry its not equal pay for equal work, you get your market value. The men's game is more marketable simple as that.

The Indian Wells tournament director was spot on. As was Djokovic though he was forced to retracted his statements due to the feminazis and regressive left. I guarantee Roger and Rafa feel the same but won't say anything becuase speaking the truth has consequences these days.

If the mens and womens GS were played seperately the mens revenue would hardly change (may even go up tbh) whereas the womens would tank.

Equal pay in tennis? Sure, why not. I only pay to go to Wimbledon and it doesn't affect me one little bit if male and female sportsman receive the same money, as there is more than enough to go round. Both sexes take home ridiculous pay for what they do, so as a symbol of equality, then by all means, even it out. Only those with a personal issue or grudge should have any problem with it. The game is awash with money and it shouldn't affect the casual spectator at all.

Azarenka beat Kuznetsova 6-3 6-2 to win the ladies Miami title.


Djokomaton 5.4 has just pounded poor Nishikori into the dirt, winning 6-3 6-3 to win a record 28th Masters title.

Tennis players are like machines! and footballers complain if they have to play 2 matches in a week.

Yeah Nadal lost 6-1, 6-3 I doubt he'll ever get back to the level he was, it's not surprising given the intensity he used to play at.

Kano
21-08-2016, 01:10 AM
Still got quite a distance point wise to take first.

What I'd like to see him win his the Aussie slam. He's lost so many finals his chances are almost up now.

His learning curve (and Nadal's downfall) took him to the French final too. If he could nab a career Grand Slam that would be fitting. He has the all round game to do it.

adzzzbatch
21-08-2016, 01:28 AM
For sure there is still a decent points gap, it's not unsalable though and Andy has said it himself how it would be such an achievement in his career.

I for one would like to see him the Aussie open too! The hardcourts are his best surface (although you could say it's almost negligible now) something doesn't seem quite right in his prep for the final there maybe Lendl can sort that out.

I do think it's a little unfair to accredit some of Andy's success to Nadal's unfortunate luck with injury and poor form, not that I mean to accuse you of doing that! I just don't think he commands the respect, for what he's done, that he deserves IMHO.

Kano
21-08-2016, 02:16 AM
I credit him reaching the French final for the first time in allignment more with Nadal falling off. Even Sampras couldn't reach the final, so he has a great chance to win it. How Botovic comes back will determine how many more slams Andy can get. But aside from Nadal's freakish domination of the French, Murray deserves all the credit coming his way.

Well done Cilic.

Muzza hasn't got Djokovic's ruthless robot efficiency to help him win when he's running on fumes.

It's fucking stupid!

Well deserved winner though Cilic played very well.

I'd thought Murray looked completely worn out in his previous rounds and guess the tank ran out and so has the chance of World #1 as well.

It has to be Evans. He's more talented and unpredictable.

Edmund is basically a huge forehand and not much else.

Kano
17-09-2016, 04:19 PM
Evans will provide more of an all round challenge but I can't see either of them winning. Unless DP is dead.

Kano
18-09-2016, 11:41 AM
Muzza up against Pella soon.

They've gone for Edmund against DP which will be straight forward for the big man.

Kano
18-09-2016, 12:32 PM
4-1 to the Muzz.

Some talk it may be Evans and Mayer in the final rubber, which would be a lot more interesting.

I think in Tennis whenever it's reported that someone is unbeatable/invulnerable it's setting them up for a fall

The assumption was made of Roger Federer and lets be fair he was at his peak ten years ago now, Rafael Nadal who arguably would have dominated if not for constant injury and Djokovic for all his brilliance is prone to both injury and mental frailty.
