Another one ...
Stan's only win against Roger in 14 attempts has been in Monte Carlo in 2009.
On current form, I would have to back Wawrinka. Fed is also coming into some form but his backhand side is significantly weaker than Wawrinka. On the flipside, he has won so many ATP 1000 titles so he knows what to do whereas Wawrinka might get overawed by the occasion.
Fed definitely wants his compatriot to win his first Masters offcourse, but MC 1000 is something missing in his own cabinet, so it would be a good match.
If Stan can play freely, he has the edge for sure, but often he gets a little subdued when playing his senior...
But a dream final atleast for me & it is a win-win situation..
He then said it is a lucky shot, may be that is how he is brought up (taking undue risks)...
Federer was like, if that is what it requires to beat me, good for you....
Fed will never do that & duely gets blamed for not showing intensity.....
These players showing intensity is what causes them all these injuries.....
You are kidding with the back injury right?
Yeah sure...I was being sarcastic there to show you that you are making a false equivalence. You know even Agassi had wrist injuries, right? It's part and parcel of top level sport. So just because Djoko has had an injury doesn't mean what Fed said then were wise words uttered underneath some Bodhi tree. He was just being a sore loser, period. Fed must be one of the rare guys whose body is seemingly perfect for the game he plays (McGrath was another). Otherwise, even players with great technique like Graf have gone through injuries. Djoko used the intensity to hang in there at that time and turn tables on Fed in a match he was winning. It would be good for both you and Fed to just accept that and let it go.
In his peak years, Fed himself used to orchestrate the crowd after his tweeners fell in, as if he was 100% sure they would be WINNERS. Djoko was just extracting subtle vengeance at US Open and that obviously found its mark and didn't go down well with Fed.
Gonna be good tomorrow..Didnt see the match. So can't comment as to how the match went about and on Djokovic's injury and how it affected his play.
