  1. Complete mismatch. The biggest test Nole had at Canada­ was a 34 year old Haas.

  2. Fed elogant and methodical approach with great serving­ and classy shots like slice and drop shots against­ novaksquick movement around the court with his great­ returns and powerful ground strokes :) is always a­ great match up. They tend to produce crackers :) Novak­ v rafa great baseline exchanges like that aussi open­ final that was quality and I'm glad Novak won that,­ those top 3 have just got champion mental strength­ ingrained in them, I prefer fed and Novak to rafa but I­ still admire nadals fighting abilties. As for Murray I­ still not a fan and he is still frustrating to watch at­ times. However he is at last believing in himself more­ and he was awesome in the Olympics and playing the best­ tennis of his life. Del potro got a powerful game too­ and always a threat to the big 4. I just love the­ competition in the men's game. Tennis is awesome :)

  3. Thanks a lot :) your welcome, yh I love Feds game and a­ fan but Novak is just a joy to watch :) they my two­ players I love to see, the way djokovic moves on the­ court is awesome plus He got no weaknesses in his game.­ Great backhand, forehand, improved so much at the net­ and a great serve. Got a solid game plus he got pure­ genius in his style of shots he can produce. I reckon­ djoko will carry on this momentum. In cincy I think he­ might win that too. Us open gonna be interesting but­ the serbinator the man to beat for me. King fed can­ never be written off as he great champion, Murray­ arriving as a great player and rafa if he fit always­ such an amazing fighter. Credit to Nole, great champion­ response from Wimbledon and Olympics where he only just­ got edged. He proving why he been the dominant force­ over last two years, he great entertainer on court too,­ great for the game :)

    Well done Nole. Congrats to Mark, all your predictions­ were correct but most of all thank you for being a true­ tennis fan. Most Fed fans just rubbish Novak and his­ achievements and you are a very welcome change.

    From Galaktika Galaktika, on Mon 13 Aug 1:25

  5. Fed has a chance but i think being honest the roof­ helped fed beat Novak at wimby, however no roof and on­ hard courts Novak has the edge in fed, there are 5­ possible winners but djoko defo favourite. The way he­ moves on a hard court is awesome :) Novak is a man on a­ mission he's motivated to no1 back and set the­ record straight after recent losses, the serbinator is­ gonna power on I reckon

  6. Too bad for him that RF is preparing his guns for US­ Open...

    From lucas, on Mon 13 Aug 1:07

  7. Djoko looking back to his brilliant best, ominous signs­ for the rest of the field, Murray, fed, nadal all­ fearing the worst for us open lol, the serbinator is on­ fire back on his best surface

    From Mark, on Mon 13 Aug 0:53

  8. This will be an easy two short sets for Djoko.

    From EDDIE, on Mon 13 Aug 0:46

  9. Djoko will put the Frenchmen in his place. The­ serbinator will blast past gasquet to claim his 3rd­ rogers cup title and his 3rd title of year. This will­ be the platform the Serb needs to get on a roll and and­ start another winning streak of title glory, Novak wins­ probs in to 2 straight sets
