[Kurita]

Novak is winning this one

 

[Navid]

Kinda hoping Djokovic wins this just so we can have at least a chance of seeing someone winning all 4 grand slams in a single year...

 

[Wafflecakes]

Team Novak.

 

[milanbaros]

Both players playing for something special here. Murray to be a true great. Djokovic to possibly be THE great.

 

[Hazzuh]

My head says Djokovic in 4, my heart says Clayray 6-0 6-0 6-0

 

[Deleted member 231381]

IMO if Novak wins this, he is the GOAT and I don't think it's that disputable. I mean, I think he is anyway, but CYGS is something else. It's the ultimate pinnacle of the sport.

 

[miserable]

Murray already cashed in his "twist of fate" card at Wimbledon 2013. Now, there is nothing he can do to escape the inevitable darkness.

 

[Saty]

lol Wilander. 'We haven't had a new RG champion for a long time'.

 

[Diprosalic]

lol Wilander. 'We haven't had a new RG champion for a long time'.

almost 1 year man.

 

[Deadman]

It's over.

it's not cygs if he doesn't win them all in the same year.

 

[oti]

What

 

[Deleted member 231381]

It's over.

And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and revived the winds and the rain; and there was a new clay.

 

[clemenx]

So, huh. Congrats Djokovic.

 

[jelly]

Well, shit.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Alright, NCYGS, doesn't matter. It's arbitrary whether you start at the AO as opposed to Wimbledon, makes no real difference.

 

[clemenx]

I need a 5 hour epic. It's been long since we've had one of those.

 

[Diprosalic]

Y'all never read the bible? He first must fall before he can rise again.

 

[Ninja Beagle]

What does Clayray mean?

 

[Diprosalic]

What does Clayray mean?

Hope.

 

[John Dunbar]

Alright, NCYGS, doesn't matter. It's arbitrary whether you start at the AO as opposed to Wimbledon, makes no real difference.

it absolutely does. you lose a match in a grand slam and you will have to wait until AO to start again. with ncygs, you can start right away in the next slam.

 

[oti]

What's up with the drop shots so early on?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

What does Clayray mean?

Clayray is love, Clayray is life.

 

[jelly]

Not bad.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I mean, there are less opportunities to win the CYGS as opposed to the NCYGS, but for any given NYCGS opportunity it is equally hard to win as the CYGS.

 

[Diprosalic]

not exactly as you don't have an off-season in a CYGS.

 

[oti]

Djoker could also pull off the Golden Slam this year.

 

[John Dunbar]

i disagree. the fact that you do it over two seasons alone means it is not as remarkable of an achievement.

 

[Helensmith]

Phew, he didn't fold after the first game! Fingers crossed.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

not exactly as you don't have an off-season in a CYGS.

I suppose Djokovic's would also exclude the Channel Slam, so none of the difficult grass-clay adjustment, so perhaps a little worse than a full CYGS, but either way, it would sufficient to put him clearly ahead of the rest of the field in the GOATstakes.

 

[Ricker]

What's up with the drop shots so early on?

I realise this is a rhetorical question but the usual...tricks the opponent and makes them run and tires them,looks good when it works but usually makes you look like an idiot when they hit the net lol

Federer would have 2 CYGS if not for Nadal and Nadal is clearly better than Wawa or Murray on Sand. I don't think it would be that clear but it is a great achievement.

 

[FortuneFaded]

It's over.

Come on. Novak isn't out of it just yet.

 

[oti]

I know, but that many? Drop shots to me are always a signal of a player trying to cut the rally short.

On the other hand, Federer wouldn't even have a CGS if it wasn't for Soderling, whereas Djokovic actually has beaten Nadal at RG, so swings and roundabouts.

 

[John Dunbar]

if it wasn't for the mercy of clayray in the opening game this set would be over.

 

[Diprosalic]

see. theres arguments for everybody. Some still have Nadal as the goat.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Routine win in 3 sets for Murray today, Djoko is mentally dead, this is a beatdown right now. He should call the trainer and retire.

 

[clemenx]

I know, but that many? Drop shots to me are always a signal of a player trying to cut the rally short.

I mean, these 2 players on a good day are basically

So I guess something needs to be done at some point

 

[Hedrush]

Here we go. Murray looks as though hes carried that semi final form into the final.

 

[Xun]

So how long will it be until Djokovic has an injury?

 

[Uzzy]

From the match or tennis entirely?

those tricks work against murray, but not our savior clayray.

 

[oti]

Of course, I didn't expect it to start that early though. To me this reads like Djokovic not feeling 100% well.

 

[Hazzuh]

Djokovic looked so frustrated when he hit the net then lmao.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Murray looking absolutely ruthless at the moment.

 

[zero_suit]

Clayray!!

 

[John Dunbar]

clayray must not waver, though. djokovic's lulls never last, as evil never remains dormant for long.
