Lu-Mischa Zverev-Pouille (Stuttgart winner)-Nishikori/Karlovic

Hope he has his game face on right from the beginning.

Good to hear that Pouille won Stuttgart- I did not notice that.

Go Fed!

Seriously we assume certain stuff like he has to win Halle to win Wimbledon but it's never the case, he needs few matches before W and this Halle is best of three sets which can work against him.

But I'd like to see him winning it :)

No, I did not assume that. I just want him to get some match play and find his Jan-April backhand. He will need it at Wimbledon.

And if he finds his backhand, he is winning Halle, which is a nice bonus :)

That's not going to happen. If Nadal is in good enough form and somehow manages to make it to Federer(assuming Federer makes it there himself) it will surely not be Federer in straights. It would be a fierce battle to the finish line with either player taking it. Let's be realistic.

Not to mention Alexander Zverev who is in the bottom half of the draw and who beat Federer in Halle last year!

Hmm, I was just thinking if Rafa plays with the same intensity as he did
in this FO final he's beating Fed anywhere anytime.

Both would be great. Amazing if Fed/Rafa sweep all the slams in 2017,
like they did in 2006/2007.

If I had to pick 1 I'd like them to finally meet at USO.

Yes, but if Fed wins it means so much more than beating a Bagditis type no?

If we're being realistic we should all accept Fed & Rafa played very
well at AO, but Rafa significantly upped the ante at FO. The way he
played FO was better than Fed/Rafa combined at AO imo.

Usually you give soft era as a reason for someone winning so easily.

I've never called Fed, Rafa or Stan clowns. There are fantastic tennis
players.

Miss.

Rafa is not a clown, Stan is not a clown. Rafa crushed Stan in FO
final. Respect.

You mean beating nobodies till the final? You can try all you want, but the day when Federer wins his eighth Wimbledon, you should just be banished from here like the goddamn prisoners in the Phantom zone. you're willing for him not to win will not amount to anything, you know why… Because he's way better than your stupid third place Sampras man...

How funny it will be at the end of this year if Fed has six more slams than Sampras, man...
