PaulC Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Such a shame for Djokovic, he's tried so hard for so many years to win the French but its not meant to be. Stan was awesome today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Wow what a final. Feel for djo but wawrinka deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) 90 sec standing ovation from the Paris crowd afterwards for Novak. Brought tears to his eyes. Even Wawrinka applauded the whole time. Shows how much respect he has in the game. http://video.eurosport.com/tennis/french-open/2015/djokovic-receives-lengthy-standing-ovation_vid375893/video.shtml Edited June 7, 2015 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 It was a great final but I always had a feeling that Novak would get back into it, but he didn't which is credit to Warwinka. It's Warwinka's second grand slam and he is 30, reckon he may get one or two more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 He has every chance I agree if he plays like that but this tournament is the only form he's shown all season. Cilic last season won the US but done nothing since. i wouldn't bet on him for Wimbledon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yes, i think he must move above Murray in the rankings as well. Why is it all the best players are late 20s or 30s. The players in the early 20s are just not challenging like they should be. Nishikori, so much talent but a lightweight. Dimitrov talent but not committed enough. Raonic, just a big serve. I don't see much changing in the next two years. Although theres a couple of teenage aussies who look pretty special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Kyrgois looks like a real talent, if I remeber rightly he beat Nadal at Wimbledon last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yes and the other one is Kokkinakis who I was very impressed with in the match against Djokovic. Think those two could be a real force in 3 or 4 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Was listening to the Colin Murray show this morning. They are such idiots they cant even get the facts right about Wimbledon, firstly making out Murray would be seeded 2, then saying as he's seeded 3 he now meets Djokovoic in the semis's. No the draw hasn't been made yet. They way Colin Murray sucked up to Marion Bartoli monday made me want to puke. Thank god the bbc got rid of him.

PaulC Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 No posts on Wimbledon yet. Tomorrows semi between Federer and Murray should be interesting. The BBC experts all seem to think Murray will win but Federer hasn't broken sweat yet and has a 3 match winning run against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Federer has won 4 out of their last 5 meetings, despite the fact that the head to head is very close, that is a telling stat really. Both won their pre wimbledon grass tournaments and both are playing well. 50-50 match to be honest, wouldn't like to call it but hope Murray wins of course.

Rodders Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Murray for me. They haven't played this season yet and he's been in great form. Last year at the O2, when Fed humped him, he was exhausted- he played 5 tournaments in a row to qualify for the finals. Federer will be tough but still Murray in 3/4 this year. Think Dokovic - Gasquet could be interesting, the latter has played very well this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) I think it will be easy for djokovic. Gasquet had played well but djokovic has always had his number. He will be so relieved he's not meeting stan. Edited July 10, 2015 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
