Murray will a gd comeback this year he has got better n better since his return, on top of his game he will be a tough nut to crack, if he still has the hunger that is

Majors are best of 5, just want to throw this out there.

The only way I see Fed winning one is if he has an easy draw, avoids Rafa and Nole, and plays a surprise finalist.

It is possible, but then again, he can run into a hot young guy like Dimitrov that will outrun him for 5 sets, or Raonic that will win the tie breaks. Hell, even Gulbis in early rounds can knock him out.

Fed is still a damn good player, but the aura of invincibility and clutch performance is gone. And Fed won LOTS of matches precisely because of that, ability to intimidate and play well when it counts.

A young hot guy? Umm…interesting choice of words.

Gulbis? For a guy who loses 1 match for every one he wins (176/151 w/l record), thats quite a tall order. I don't mean disrespect but are you new to tennis Darvik?

I don't mind if you do disrespect me, just drop the "I don't mean disrespect" line. It's cheesy.

You right I am extremely new to tennis and WOW where did you find that record of Gulbis? ...I must look one up for Federer - it has to be worse, no doubt.

[djarvik]

Strong 1st post BTW

[PetkovStefan]

"You right I am extremely new to tennis and WOW where did you find that record of Gulbis? ...I must look one up for Federer - it has to be worse, no doubt."

Federer's win/loss ratio is 951/220, that is 81% win-rate.

Gulbis' is 50%. So basically betting on him is a gamble.

I'm sorry I didn't know you were new to tennis, perhaps I was harsh. There is a website called 'ATPWorldTour.com'. It is run by the ATP, a formal and official body known as the association of tennis professionals. It has a stats section. I can link you to it if you like.

Lol federer's record worse than gulbis? He just recorded his 950th win.. Maybe you're right that you are new to tennis

[djarvik]

I am positive Gulbis has a better record than Federer. I never specified "which" record is that.

The Fedtardism in this thread is blinding...


Stefan, your math is lacking. I am not even mention the fact that win/loss record doesn't take into account Federer's age and current form. You only as good as your last match my friend, the rest is history.

Damn man, this is thread is "thick" ... I can understand the new guy - he is new, I do understand the Steyolol - he is naive and confused young man, but Ali ? ...you have been here long enough. Shame on you for feeling unnecessary/manufactured pressure to jump to Federer's defense

The old Fed appreciates your efforts boys! Keep up the good work.

[Ali-Iqb93]

What can I say I m a thrill seeker

I find it amusing to tease you djarvik

[djarvik]

oh, you not teasing me the slightest. I though I was doing all the "teasing" to fedfans.

[PetkovStefan]

Stefan, your math is lacking. I am not even mention the fact that win/loss record doesn't take into account Federer's age and current form. You only as good as your last match my friend, the rest is history.

Well, I went back and did the calculation for Fed's W/L ratio when he was Gulbis' age (25). Fed was at 84%

So pound for pound even if you adjust for age, Federer was and is and will remain, better. Unless you think Gulbis over the next 5 years will win 98% of all matches (something he has to do in order to achieve to get even close to Federer's W/L ratio).

I guess in some people's world facts and numbers have no bearing.

Stefan I salute you friend.

It only took you like 3 posts to end darvik and his raging boner for gulbis.

Good job friend.

Lets return when Federer goes down in history of the tennis sport, and when gulbis is only
remembered for funny interviews and power hitting because he cant actually do anything else.

p.s Ill be back when federer wins another GS.

[djarvik]

Ill be back when federer wins another GS.

Goodbye forever my friend.

I suggest you reread what I have posted before attempting to answer. ...and I don't recall saying Gulbis has a better w/l record. Congrats on proving something that didn't require proof.

[Pepe Bradock]

For sure, you're right, Djarvik and I totally agree with you.

Gulbis spends much more time than Fed in clubs. He therefore has better DJ skills than Roger, which means without any doubt that he must have a much better record. QED
