2013 Wimbledon SF: Djokovic vs. Delpo

[britbox]

Hey all, were opening the chat for the Mens Semi Finals. All comments will be added into the main thread on Saturday.

 

[Moxie]

Well, hello!

 

[britbox]

The Chat is open for Mens Semis. Anything posted in chat will be added into the main discussion thread on Saturday once both semis are complete. If possible, don't use the chat for a semi unless it is actually being played (use the thread outside of match time), as it will be much easier to merge into a thread later. Cheers, BB

Hi Moxie

 

[Denis]

and bb

 

[Denis]

thanks for opening the chat

 

[Denis]

What do you think? Any impairment on the movement by DP?

 

[Moxie]

Too soon to tell. The match is going so quickly, no ones moved that much.

This would be terrible for Del Potro, again, if he has to withdraw.

And funny enough, I don't think it's good for Nole either. I think he'd prefer the natural route and a tough match too, before the final...

I agree. It reminds me of the '07 Wimbledon, when Roger got a walkover in the middle of the tournament when Haas withdrew. Lots of people kept saying he was lucky, etc., but Roger insisted it was a bad thing -- it messed up the rhythm of the tournament. I believed him then, and I think it holds true today, in this instance with Novak.

Roger has almost ALWAYS struggled after a walkover or any kind of a long lay off in the middle of the tournament. That year he came out and actually had a tough match with Ferrero in the QF.

I doubt anyone really complains at getting a walkover but they obviously can screw up a player's rhythm.

 

[Denis]

yes, very quick service games so far

 

[DarthFed]

Good call on opening the chat!

 

[britbox]

I havent started watching it yet. Will be in about 10 minutes.

 

[britbox]

Who you picking guys and girls?

 

[herios]

I like both these guys, but I want Nole to in, as this Wimbledon title is very needed to build on his legacy and keep his nose in front to finish again ranked #1 at the end of this year.

 

[Moxie]

I rooting for the knee. If its ok, well have a match.

 

[Denis]

Novak will win, in three I hope.

 

[britbox]

Im much happier Delpo made it to the Semis than Ferrer though. At least their is an edge of uncertainty.

 

[kskate2]

dont think it will be straights Denis. Give JMDP some credit

 

[kskate2]

BP for Novak

 

[Denis]

Saying Im hoping, JMDP is a tough cookie for sure he could win
