Wilfried wins 9-7 in the 5th, great batle

[fedfan]

Hopefully he still has plenty left to take it to Djokovic. Fed in charge against Hewitt, he will be looking for a quick match ahead of Davydenko.

That was another Demonstration of Federer's might today. He showed again that he is the most talented Player and even a few classes over Hewitt which is also a great Player.

Federer is in a good Condition. The Question is who can stop him at the Australian Open this Year? Maybe nobody or maybe somebody plays the Match of his Life against Federer? We will see. I would say if Federer plays so strong as today against Hewitt and doesn't get weaker somebody really has to play the Match of his Life to beat him, no matter who it is, because this Guy freaking rocks the World.

if the davydenko match gets tight, those 2 losses in a row might creep into his head

[fedfan]

Federer played well, I especially liked how he was hitting his forehand, giving it a little more height over the net but still keeping fantastic length.

Let's face it though he knew Hewitt could not hurt him, Davydenko has shown he can, but it will still take a massive mental and physical performance to beat Roger.

Murray is the bookies favorite btw, lolz

Murray is the bookies favorite btw, lolz

if he beats Rafa...i´m quite sure he´ll get the title......whether you like it or not this guy is a great player

But if Davydenko beats Federer than he will probably win it IF Murray beats Rafa. Federer and Rafa are Kolya's biggest problems in 5 set rules. Murray's slow ball with tons of spin on it will be eaten up by an on-form Davydenko. And that is one of Murray's biggest strengths being able to slow down the pace of just about everything, but nobody can attack that type of shot better than Davydenko.

I'd put my Money on Djokovic in a best of 5 set against Davydenko. But id say davydenko would have the edge v. Tsonga

[Otlichno]

Djokovic has a chance, but he hasn't faced a seeded player all tournament we don't know how he'll play against the best.

djockovic's draw was a joke

I would strongly disagree here.

Davydenko feeds on the pace of the ball.....give him none and he has trouble generating his own pace. Even with improved serve, Murray will be in each of his service games.

I say Davydenko has more chances against Fed, who can go to error frenzy then a steady Murray over 5 sets.

[fedfan]

Cilic could still surprise in the bottom half, I fancy him over Roddick. Nadal does not need to be at 100% to beat Murray, Murray cannot be less than 100% to beat Nadal so I pick Nadal.

Djokovic has a lot in the tank but has not been tested, Tsonga slight favourite. Davydenko nearly choked today, Fed will prove a point and win in 4.

I agree with you. Yea. He is like a better Hewitt and Murray, in my opinion.

I also too think that he can win this thing!

henin takes the first set, can she win her first slam back?
