Would love Novak to win Roland Garros and have the chance at a calendar slam. If he somehow does do it it'll arguably be the greatest achievement ever in sport I reckon.
Still a long way to go but he's definitely favourite for Roland Garros at the moment, Wimbledon will be the hardest though of course if he does win Roland Garros.

No, but maybe men's tennis.

Well I guess there's no measuring these things anyway.
Hope he can do it though. Would be wonderful.
I don't even care if he wins Wimbledon....just as long as he wins RG
He'll probably get beat by Fed or Murray at Wimbledon anyway. But if by some huge stoke of luck that he DOES win RG and Wimbledon, I'll probably die of suspense waiting for the U.S. Open to start.
If Novak wins RG he will win W as well. He will gain so much confidence and aura that he will be unstoppable. USO is ? that is where he starts to run low on fuel. 1/4 in Finals. There is a reason for that. I think he should skip Cincy this year. But he said it is on his list to win this year (played final 5 times I think).
Also I think Novak only played at 70-80% in Dubai. Most of his team was not with him this week. I don't think he wants to peak just yet. I think he aims to peak in Miami, going into MC.

The very first point of the match was Nadal v Ferrer in a nutshell.
Excellent

6-0 first set. Ferrer is making this too easy for Nadal

On a scale of one to apocalypse, I wonder how depressing this is for Ferrer

Not sure why I ever thought this
Wishful thinking? Have you looked at the H2H record?

Noooooooo
Less than 0 chance if that happening.
Number of times the top guys have bageled Ferrer:
Djokovic: 1
Federer: 1
Nadal: 3

Ferrer is the clear worlds #4 when Nadal isn't playing. let that sink in
Hope Del Potro, Berdych and Tsonga can step it up. Would also be lovely if some young players can step it up and challenge for a Top 10 spot, though I am not optimistic on this front.

Ferrer you freakin bum. Glad Mowgli has gotten his steroid cocktail perfected again.

He has defeated Mowgli before brah.
Lol I didn't even realize Isner didn't make that final. Dude is complete garbage.

Gulbis got a haircut. I liked his curly fro better.
I think Fed doesn't get the credit he deserves on clay, just because Nadal was so good. Fed is an excellent clay court player, I'd put him or Novak as the favorites.

Anybody have any insight on who is gonna win the BNP Paribas Showdown tomorrow @ the Garden?
Is it a Nadal blowout or is it more in favor of Del Po cause it's hardcourt?

Exhibitions are always a tossup.

I was thinkin about that too cause Tomic beat Novak in an exhibition and nobody cared except for Tomic lol.

I watched Gulbis' match on Tennis channel today.
Yeah and retired Andy Roddick beat Andy Murray a couple months ago as well. Pete Sampras beat Federer a couple years ago in an exo. The player who doesn't care the least will win the match
I am sending PM, we are not allowed to post links...I think
...............
Novak was last night with LALakers. Some pics.

Yup Vika v Serena first followed by Rafa v. Del Potro.
I don't know much about exhibition tennis, but I just heard that they're only playing 1 set and it's more for entertainment where they try to do trickshots and stuff and keep the game close. I'd rather watch a real match tbh. It's at the garden though, so that should be interesting.
