[djarvik]

I am in.


Hopefully more will join.

[Corbon]

I have been terrible with finals predictions this year, I'll pass.

[Corbon]

A quick look at the draw.

Nole, who seems to have an easier draw than Fed and could meet Rafa in the QF and Nish in the SF again, assuming that Raonic won't poop on everyone's party.

[djarvik]

So C4 is already losing.....as expected.

[Corbon]

Gulbis retires!

Retirements so far

Andujar (after 2-2 sets)
Stepanek (after 1-2 sets)
Dolgo (after 1-2 sets)
Monfils (after 1-1 sets and 0-5)

Klizan (after 1-2 sets and 0-3)
Gulbis (after 1-1 sets and 0-3)
Kokkinakis (after 2-2 sets and 0-2)

[C4iLL]

Nothing turnd on my side...

Simon was lading 6-2 6-4 3-0 vs Young, who never beat him in 5 matchs I think !!!
Gulbis, Monfils & Pouille vs a qualifier... -olgopolov, Mahut,... **** Benoit Paire who was led 2 sets 0 too ! Only real error was fognini, a GPOAT must never forget the proud of italians.

[Corbon]

And Dimitrov goes bye bye against Kukushkin.

[C4iLL]

Goffin out after leading 2 sets to 1 too, it's crazy... God is not with GPOAT this time.

[Corbon]

****ing Nadal, I went to bed after Fognini won set 3 because I thought that's all Fognini had to offer and then he ended up winning after 2 sets down.

[R0CK GAMER]

Oh my Corbon, Temper my darling, Temper.. Nadal has been so awful this year! Federer and Djokovic are clearly the top picks of the tournament. Cilic is the defending champ, So he has alot to prove. I doubt he will go far.

[aMPLIFLIER]

Nadal has hit a brick wall his worst performing year in the better part of a decade. At this point its just plain embarrassing I wonder how much more he can take? It is very difficult for a player to have reached the height of success and to have fallen as low with a lot of these early round exits one wonders how he will begin to pick up the pieces? One thing is certain he will be out of the 10 this year and doubtful he will make the year end finals.

[Corbon]

Cilic is winning against Chardy right now but he won't reach the final again. Edit: Won in 4

Anyway this was Nadal's FIRST loss at a Slam after being 2-0 sets up (he lost a Masters final against Fed after leading by 2-0). He has clearly lost his marbles this season and unlike Federer in 2014 I don't see him mounting a comeback in 2016.

[Vieira151]

He has clearly lost his marbles this season and unlike Federer in 2014 I don't see him mounting a comeback in 2016.

I dunno, I could see him doing some sort of comeback in 2018.

Joking of course. Just a bit of a coincidence that Nadal disappeared from tour after Wimby in '14. I hope Nadal can find his form again. It wasn't long ago we were talking about he'd eclipse Federer in terms of slams. Maybe with his slimmer physique he could start playing in a more aggressive, Federer esque manner? Would be interesting to see.

Also, Federer doing a great job of keeping his court time minimal again. He is going to be very difficult to beat this tournament. In 3 matches he has barely played more than 4hrs 30.

[Corbon]

Anderson with a 2-0 set lead against Murray, He's been there before against Nole at Wimby.

Anderson takes the 4th set tie break 7-0 and the match, amazing.
