Federer will be my favourite for now. He has been great these last two matches. Guess well see how Djoker bounces back at the Olympics. His momentum has finally been stuffed.
Is Olympics 3 sets?

They stopped it a while back as the game became more modern, seemed a bit old fashioned and demeaning I guess.

They do. When they enter the court.
How many times have they met in US open ?
i think so
He's beat him everywhere else. I'm not convinced last year would have been any different.

About the weeks at #1, everyone is saying he ties the record, I guess they don't want to say he beats it prematurely? But there's no way for him to lose it before two weeks go by, right? Olympic tennis ends August 5th and it's basically a month until the rankings would be updating again.

olympics should be 5 sets, imo.

it's the worst possible match up for federer.
Fed could had beaten him as well.
Could say chances would had been 55-45 to Nadal but Fed has more chance of beating Nadal on a hard surface

just like rocky, he never gives up. I was cheering for ferrer.
Nadal doesn't play well indoors, the faster conditions aren't appealing to his play style. So for him it is best to "take off" for a bit in the indoor season. Nadal only has 1 career indoor title, I believe that was in 2005 at Madrid.

Nadal needs to go away and sort his knees out. That shit is bad for him long term.
it's the way he plays

It would be even better if Murray won one. Would give him a lot of belief and confidence to go on and be better against the top guys.

That's true. I hated how the past four GS, the semis would always end up as a Fed/Djoker matchup. Now with the rankings flipped a bit, things should be a bit fresher.

If the voodoo 1v3 and 2v4 scheduling continues...
Not good for Federer.
Not good for Federer.
I think he'll win the a GS soon, maybe the Australian open. He just needs to face the right opponent on the right day. Clearly he isn't as good as Federer but a few bad mistakes and a few aces could tilt it for him. He's got a lot of time still too, his game isn't going to kill his knees like it might for Nadal.

Oh, go away~ =P
Does anyone know what the point distribution is between Roger, Novak and Rafa now? Looking at the current rankings, Federer would only have a very tenuous number one ranking. Might as well get excited while we can. It'd be beyond incredible if Federer lost the top ranking only to regain it again.
FEDERER #1 never gets old.
Fedal played in semis in Melbourne this year. Congrats to Roger, probably his last slam but incredible effort after losing that match to Djokovic. Hopefully he can be year end #1 for the last time.
And I hope Murray will tweak his game a little and win a slam soon enough.
Djokovic has won only two titles in 2012 thus far. It seems his domination is over for now. But having a GOAT year in the Fedal era is a monumental achievement nonetheless.

People were saying that the crowd was goin to be Davis cup like in support for Andy. But I only remember the crowd getting crazy at the beginning and end of the match.
I was underwhelmed. although maybe the crowd noise is mostly
lost on tv?

Hard-court is his best surface, right?

nope. not in tennis where you play on different surfaces and outdoor/indoor. number 3 in the world might not be number 3 on that surface.

Roger did in one of the earlier matches... But yeah, who gives a shit about Kate, we should bow to pippa...

Except I don't think that factors in at all. It's literally a coin flip to see if 1 gets 3 or 4 on his side of the draw.
As we've seen just this year, things can change on a dime.

It's going to be 1v4 and 2v3.
I GUARANTEE it (at least at the Olympics and the U.S. Open)

It still amazes me to know that my little baby Australia has its own Grand Slam. Love tennis' preoccupation and adoration of history and tradition.
Need to take a trip to Melbourne to see Federer win his fifth!

his post-game speech turned me into a * very * small Murray fan. I wouldn't mind Nadal sliding to #4.
well, this year's wimbledon was pretty exciting, I'd venture to say. tennis-gaf, I love you all.
