Topic: Predictions

I don't know about anyone else's, but mine are down the drain. For starters I believe that Rafa would win, but today put a stop to that.

Then I thought Verdasco would in an outside with a chance, but Davydenko just put a stop to that.

All I've got now is Federer...anyone else feeling a bit shaken prediction-wise?

Maybe it's just my poor quality of predictions, but I'm sure most people had to change at least some predictions with Nadal today,....

Re: Predictions

Yep...I'm pretty much gone with mine as well.

I'm a massive Federer fan (who isn't), but I'm also hoping one of the other guys makes a good run at it. Maybe one of the French guys in the final against Federer so the crowd gets rowdy.

Tsonga vs Federer...now that'd be a great final, except they're due to meet in the semi's if they both make it that far.

Top half of the draw...just toss a dart and hope it sticks. Fernando Gonzalez, Andy Murray, Davydenko...or Soderling?

I'm going to say Gonzalez vs Federer in the final

Re: Predictions

With Djokovic, Nadal, and to a lesser degree Verdasco going out, it's tough. I am going to go out on a limb and say that the winner of the Federer-Monfils match (assuming they both win tomorrow) will win the tournament.

Re: Predictions

Yes I have good feeling about Gonzalez, or del Potro. Either of them against Federer.

Im reluctant to say Andy Murray, but no-ones surprised about that.....

It was nervy watching Federer today, I was in agony watching it! But Im glad hes through. THe worlds a little more sure...

Re: Predictions

Davydenko might be a dark horse...it looks like he's actually trying this year.

Re: Predictions

What are everyone's thoughts on Soderling vs. Gonzalez? I feel like Soderling has been on a roll; he might continue...

Re: Predictions

I think it could end up being the best or worst match of the entire tournament. Both guys hit the ball with reckless abandon. If their shots are working, expect to see both guys with 50+ winners. It could get ugly though if they both are nervous and can't get their game together. I'm going to say Gonzalez wins because he has been in this situation before, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Soderling wins.

Re: Predictions

Hey Aiur, you were right. That was a great match. I was surprised that Gonzalez did not pull out a win, but Soderling earned it.
