Back to some good tennis hsow here with Cincinnati Open

Federer playing this

 

[Jono]

Yeah Montreal tournament was a bit of a farce, so many players pulling out or tired. Good on Novak for defending his title though.

Murray defending his title here in Cincinnati.

Meanwhile Rafa still taking time off. Reckon he is priming himself for the US Open, could really be a good shout to take that one out.

 

[blahblahblah]

well an important tournament again with respect to the no.1 rankings here .. gotta see how dojokovic responds

 

[blahblahblah]

Tomic eyes clash with Federer

will be one heck of a match and gotta see how tomic has been improving his game when it really matters

Really sad news

Rafael Nadal Is Still Unsure If He’ll Play The US Open, This Knee Injury Is Different [Video]

Solid jinx there.

Pretty shattered by this news, but at the same time, my prediction all along that JMDP will be primed and ready to win his next Slam at the US may have just gotten more possible now that Rafa is out. Draw could be open if he's lucky and is on the right side.

 

[blahblahblah]

You should also have fedex and djokovic playing not so well for your JMDP to wn

he still has to go through fed, nole and a re-born murray...there is no right side of the draw...

 

[blahblahblah]

re-born murray?

Surely olympics is no place for resurrections

 

[Jono]

Yes there is, because it prevents having to face one of them in the quarters if you're on the side with only one of the top 3 seeds. Obviously to win a Slam you have to beat the best players, but its better to come up against as few of these players as possible. He "only" has to beat two of Murray, Fed or Nole in a row instead of three of them if he's on the right side of the draw.
