Bully Wee Villa Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 The best bit of the match was when Roger Federer turned into Jodie Whittaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 As I feared Marin just doesn't have the returning ability to get himself back into a match. I really felt sorry for him when he broke down. It must be frustrating for a player when the more nervous and under pressure they get their ability to perform gets worse. Marin despite being a grand slam champion has chucked away many potential victories against top players. It's more than just choking or bottling. When he plays well he can beat any player easily. On grass he has taken Murray, Federer and Djokovic to five sets and he really should have won all of those. He will still have plenty of opportunities, and if someone could help him with that anxiety he could easily be a player like Wawrinka in the coming years. Roger sadly sauntered through this tournament. Taking advantage as his fiercest rivals fell. He did what Murray should have done at last years US Open. Federer now on 19 slams and further emphasises just how great he is by now probably moving out of reach of both Nadal and Djokovic slam wise. Tomorrow's ranking will see the "Big Four" back at the top of the men's rankings. The first time that Andy Murray will lead the Big Four. Murray's days at the top seem numbered with Nadal less than 300 points behind. Federer, Wawrinka and Djokovic should battle it out for the top four seedings come the US Open. Murray and Nadal should be the top two depending on Cinci and Toronto and if Murray and Djokovic play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 US Open can really compliment a big forehand hitter ala del potro et cilic.Might see a winner outside top 4 but wouldn't be surprised if King Fed takes it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably happen in New York as well if Murray and Djokovic still aren't back up to speed or don't even compete. Funny thing was everyone thought he was finished last year. Now there's the expectation he'll dominate and it's Djokovic and Murray – last year's heroes – are the ones being written off. Don't think we can predict what will happen next, but I hope someone new – not Sam Querrey – comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
