Also Maccy, this is why I doubted Federer's chances. Here or at any other Slam.

Benneteau's not exactly an up-and-comer (and Federer will probably still win) but he just can't dominate and hit through opponents any more. Not only is the depth in men's tennis getting better every year, every surface is becoming more or less the same. Everything has levelled out and for someone with a quick game like Federer, it's a disadvantage. He's obviously not able to stay at an incredibly high level for long periods either these days.

No Berdych or Tsonga to threaten his half this year, but it won't necessarily have to be someone that good.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-06-2012, 06:46 PM

I wasn't talking about him winning it though, I was talking about reaching the semi final. I don't think he'll beat Djokovic. I don't think what you say holds too much relevance for this match, there have been unforced errors sure but generally this is like Rosol yesterday, a guy going for his shots and coming up trumps. If he goes out, fine, you were right. He hasn't gone out yet though.

If he goes out, fine, you were right. He hasn't gone out yet though.

It's relevant when this type of performance (by Federer himself and by the opponents who are no longer intimidated by him) become a regular occurrence. A few years ago, you would still have seen the occasional player going for it against the top guys. Rosol and Bennetau aren't exactly the first guys ever to try it. But Federer would have snuffed them out. Now, because of a combination of the factors I mentioned, he's under threat far more often. It's not that he's lost it, it's just small accumulating factors which mean he's simply not as dominant as he was able to be in the past.

Well that would make sense if he still wasn't at the very least making Grand Slam QFs all the time. Winning by just about coming through it is still winning.

JSAO's Son v Del Potro should be on centre tbf. Should be an excellent match.

Cilic v Querrey could be five tie-breaks.

The player has some good features, but it's just the BBC fixing something which was perfectly fine. It'll probably break down like their new and unimproved live text used to.

McNamara That Ghost...

They shouldn't be rolling it out in place of a workable feature, in BETA. No warning either. :lol:

I've just peeked onto Court 14 and it's not looking good for Brits Jamie Delgado and Kenneth Skupski as they are a set adrift to the Bryan brothers, who are 5-0 ahead in the second and cruising. Everyone's favourite AmericanBrian Baker has just broken in the second set and is serving for a 4-2 lead over Benoit Paire. "Come on, Brian," shouts a woman in the crowd as the qualifier prepares to toss the ball up into the cloudless sky.

Favourite American?

Before today, i had never heard of the guy. Hes the injury prone Yankster though i mentioned earlier. Apparently he was awesome as a juniour and more highly rated than Djokovic.
