[scarlet]

And last he was crying for different reasons

 

[szaromir]

I hate to bring this up, but:

Double career slam...not even Federer managed to do this. And do you guys know why? Because he is not the GOAT.

Counting eggs before they hatch and all that.

How does Federer drop after reaching the semis here? Teach me how tennis rankings work

Impressive!

 

[RedAssedApe]

How does Federer drop after reaching the semis here? Teach me how tennis rankings work

you lose points if you do worse in the tournament than the previous year. basically you need to defend your points.

 

[lazybones18]

Rafa

Maybe next year

 

[Faith]

I hate to bring this up, but:

Ok I was wrong xD

 

[Diprosalic]

this is fucking surreal. i still can't believe what happened.

I went to every match he played in Switzerland and I've talked to him quite a few times, my friend once worked for him and now that guy is a GS winner.

 

[scarlet]

He didn't gain anything from this slam, wawa, berdych won a lot, Murray and ferrer lost a lot

 

[wsoxfan1214]

I called it!

My god dude. Nice.

 

[John Dunbar]

How does Federer drop after reaching the semis here? Teach me how tennis rankings work

he made the semi last year, so he did not gain any points, only defended what he had. berdych and wawrinka gained points.

 

[kingdaddy157]

you lose points if you do worse in the tournament than the previous year. basically you need to defend your points.

Then that means Del Potro shouldn't be #4 in the world.

 

[miserable]

Congrats to Stan , well deserved!
Now i'm gonna check the thread to see how many of you said that Nadal was faking injury.

 

[scarlet]

Then that means Del Potro shouldn't be #4 in the world.

DelPo lost less than 100, Ferrer and Murray lost more than 100

 

[Linius]

Oh I see, thanks for the explanation. I'm glad the system works differently in football

 

[Faith]

Then that means Del Potro shouldn't be #4 in the world.

You don't understand how this works. Look it up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Australian_Open#Men.27s_Singles_2

 

[Diprosalic]

they are the most logical rankings you could make. i always wonder why people struggle so much with them.

Hahaha Legendary

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Then that means Del Potro shouldn't be #4 in the world.

Del Potro has lots of points stored up from 250s and 500s, and he didn't do very well here last year anyway, so while he lost points, he lost less points than Murray and Ferrer.

 

[szaromir]

Fed has a massive lead over #9. He is safe rankings-wise, and he's the fourth best player at the moment (looking at WTF and AO).

But what a night for Wawrinka. He's worked all his life for this moment.

 

[RedAssedApe]

pete still > rafa yay

 

[mcfrank]

Fed had basically nothing to defend the rest of the year though. He should start to move back up if he keeps making semis and gets a few 1k titles.

 

[Kensuke]

I love Stan's big red nose.

 

[Diprosalic]

lol sampras went? he probably thought it was a done deal for 14 lol.

 

[PedroPanache]

I hate to bring this up, but:

You should revel in it. So disrespectful to how well Stan has performed to see it as a foregone conclusion. His game has improved so much, and he's had such an incredible tournament that he was never going to not turn up in this match. He didn't just turn up in that first set, he suppressed Nadal and tamed him. I love Nadal, but this sort of arrogance usually backfires in hilarious ways.

 

[Smiley90]

Congrats to Stan , well deserved!
Now i'm gonna check the thread to see how many of you said that Nadal was faking injury.

There were only 1 or 2 guys that claimed that after they saw him come back from the MTO. Most us us that were apprehensive about the MTO at first immediately acknowledged something was wrong after seeing him back.

 

[daxter01]

they are the most logical rankings you could make. i always wonder why people struggle so much with them.

agreed its much better than what Fifa uses for national teams

 

[Mets39]

Man Rochus hates Nadal so much lol, basically said he faked his fairplay attitude and that he needed to retire

 

[Zoopa]

(ignore third set)

 

[Trokil]

Congrats! Must be nice having world class tennis players coming from your country. Hopefully Milos or Eugenie can pull through soon and we can have a champion of our own.

Hopefully it will not stop for us as well.

With Belinda Bencic we have another hopeful, she already has won the Junior Tournament in Wimbledon and Paris. Maybe she will continue the Swiss tennis history.

 

[BLAZER]

Federer being at number 8 is a disgrace to be honest. Strange how these rankings work, not a fan of the current system.

 

[Wes]

Nadal looks a little like Cumberbatch right now.

 

[mcfrank]

Awwwww rod laver taking a pic with iPhone is cute.

Thanks for the help.

He deserves it, 2013 was his worst year

 

[szaromir]

I love Stan's big red nose.

It looks like some skin infection.

lol sampras went? he probably thought it was a done deal for 14 lol.

It would be a symbolic moment if Serena and Nadal won the title, and Evert and Sampras would present them the trophies. But it wasn't meant to happen, and both players injured their back in the process.

 

[Smellycat]

What a great result! I can't believe that we have new GS champion! And it is Wawrinka too! Can't think of a more deserving player! Taking out the world's number 1 + 2 isn't an easy task.

The AO is more a source of heartbreak for Nadal, rather than success.

 

[PedroPanache]

Not really, he had a poor 2013. He's all about the slams these days. Now, more than ever, the masters tournaments and the 500/250's are just prep for the slams. He doesn't really care too much about winning them.
