I think Davydenko has a good chance of taking the title this year if he takes out Federer
he is on fire 1/27/2010 1:51:08 AM |

Davydenko looks like a scrawnier version of my high school chemistry teacher, but he's running circles around the world's best tennis player. 1/27/2010 2:07:25 AM |

Federer looked pretty good on that last one
like he's about to turn some shit around 1/27/2010 2:16:15 AM |

actually it can be more exciting considering there are often longer points and less dependence on serve1/27/2010 2:17:59 AM |
BubbleBobble Super Duper Veteran 114363 Posts user info edit post |
it seems to me like men's points are generally longer
at least among the more evenly matched matchups

sure enough just as I said that, he wins what, 5 games in a row?
crazy
wtf happened Davydenko?1/27/2010 2:31:06 AM |
BubbleBobble Super Duper Veteran 114363 Posts user info edit post |
was Davydenko on speed for that first set?
this is the most ridiculous turnaround I've ever seen 1/27/2010 2:41:54 AM |

It seems like the confidence of both players made a 180 around the same time. This has been masterful from Roger since that point though, geez.. 1/27/2010 2:53:45 AM |

insane match 1/27/2010 3:54:00 AM |
BubbleBobble Super Duper Veteran 114363 Posts user info edit post |
would have classified as insane if it had gone to 5 sets, imo
but as it stands, it was just another day at the office for Federer
but again, that's just my opinion ] 1/27/2010 4:07:01 AM |

it just felt like 3 completely different matches over a span of 4 sets 1/27/2010 4:32:48 AM |
BubbleBobble Super Duper Veteran 114363 Posts user info edit post |
good point
the 6-0 set I didn't pay a damn bit of attention to cause I was pissed that Federer won 5 (or however many games it was) in a row before that 1/27/2010 4:35:09 AM |

looks like tsonga and djokovic are headed for a 5th set. i really wish i could watch this. does anyone have a working stream? 1/27/2010 8:01:52 AM |

wtf
why didn't they make it start at a reasonable hour for everyone
i.e. for Americans 1/27/2010 7:18:15 PM |

yeah but they could start it at noon Australia time, putting the match at around 8 PM for Americans
they know they have the biggest audience from the U.S. 1/28/2010 1:56:46 PM |

even though this has been the shittiest match I've seen lately
you guys that stayed up should still not ruin it, since you clearly know it's airing at a decent hour in the PM
and I predict Murray is gonna get his ass handed to him
don't really care how good he's been playing ] 1/29/2010 4:34:57 PM |

I'm going to go with murray simply because everytime I go for fed in a final lately he lets me down, oh well it will awesome for andy to finally end that drought for british players 1/29/2010 9:48:52 PM |
Turnip All American 5426 Posts user info edit post |
my finals prediction is Serena and Federer, both in straight sets
[Edited on January 29, 2010 at 11:23 PM. Reason : eh] 1/29/2010 11:23:10 PM |
BubbleBobble Super Duper Veteran 114363 Posts user info edit post |
^I was initially thinking that
but I dunno, isn't it Serena and Henin? (I haven't been keeping up with the women's)
Henin has got some mad game - she'll at least make it interesting I bet
same with Murray
I was originally thinking 3 sets in favor of Federer, but if Murray brings it, and Federer happens to start out shaky like he did against Davydenko, Murray's got a real chance at this
I think it is more likely Murray will end up being the nervous one, though
but here's hoping he beats Federer
I am so staying up until 3:30 on Sunday for this (25 hours from now, right?) 1/30/2010 2:11:00 AM |
Turnip All American 5426 Posts user info edit post |
^yeah, federer match is ~25 hours from now. serena-henin is ~1 hour from now 1/30/2010 2:12:24 AM |

I COULD watch Serena, but probably will wait til tomorrow (the afternoon) if it's airing at a decent hour
but Federer and Murray, I just have to see that shit live for it to have some meaning ] 1/30/2010 2:13:15 AM |
Turnip All American 5426 Posts user info edit post |
For what it's worth the oddsmakers have serena with a slightly better than 50% chance of winning, and Federer with about a 60% chance. 1/30/2010 2:15:45 AM |
BubbleBobble Super Duper Veteran 114363 Posts user info edit post |
I feel like it should be closer to 70% for Federer
considering Murray has never won a major (wait, or has he)
but I remember them mentioning something about how it's supposed to be really hot when they play, and the conditions favor Murray
so maybe they're basing it partially on that
about the Serena match I don't even care who wins, cause I like both of them
I suppose I should pull for the American though ] 1/30/2010 2:17:27 AM |

i will be cheering for henin
because despite being the victim in the 2003 french incident
she whined about it so much i stopped feeling bad for her 1/30/2010 3:26:35 AM |
