Nalbandian fading already? May not survive against Ferrero, his next opponent.

 

Of all the top five jokers, Nalbandian has the worst stats across the board. He is the only one to have lost a set, has spent the most time on the court, has the lowest first serve percentage and has the highest unforced errors.

That’s not the direction you want headed with a suspect back. Now that the real test is knocking at the door, is the writing already on the wall?

Ferrero, on the other hand, has not only not dropped a set, he took out a legitimate opponent Kiefer, in the opening round in straight sets. Mentally, Nalbandian’s stats and back, are only making Ferrero stronger.

If Ferrero gets Nalbandian, he should make Djokovic take him out for dinner, for Djokovic will be the biggest beneficiary in that equation. More and more, this is looking like a real possibility, making Federer-Djokovic match a real war, with neither of them carrying extra baggage / edge over the other, onto the court. Five-setter?

Federer’s next opponent, Tipsyturvy, has not won a single ATP title, since turning pro four years ago, but is a millionaire.

 

He has not even freaking reached the final of any freaking event in his entire freaking career. He has got to be more upset about Djokovic’s rise than Federer and Nadal. I mean the guy is making you look bad in your own backyard.

Just give him what he really wants: money, and lets move on to the next round.

Is he going to the slaughter house or what?

Name: Janko Tipsarevic from Serbia.

Current ATP rank: 49.

Highest ATP rank: 46 (2007).

Obsession: Easy money.

Djokovic about to run into rough weather, with no respite until Jan 27th.

 

Djokovic has done well to keep his time on the court to the bare minimum, for his tomato can matches. Everyone among the top five contenders have achieved that too, except Nadal and Nalbandian.

Djokovic is looking at Sam Querrey next, followed by possibly Hewitt, Nalbandian, Federer and Nadal. That’s going through three legitimate title contenders. He desperately needs to conserve as much energy as possible, since it is guaranteed to become an issue, as he gets deeper in the draw.

He is currently second to only Federer, to clock the least amount of time on court, of the top five jokers.

Federer is looking at Tipsytury, followed by Berdych, Gonzalez, Djokovic and Nadal. Berdych is the only one, as a minor irritant before the big dogs show up. Federer is likely to be a lot fresher before he gets Djokovic, and that could prove to be a determining factor other than this small thing Federer is on – truck with a wrecking ball.

Djokovic would love to have the equation reversed, since Federer is the incumbent, and if anyone needs any help, he feels it’s him.

Conversely, Federer needs to get through Djokovic’s match, not only with a win, but with ample fuel to face the determined Nadal. Knowing that a loss to Djokovic, could result in dropping of the No. 1 rank in January, if Nadal wins the title, will only add to the complexities and pressure.

But Federer should be more than pleased with what he has achieved so far, under the circumstances. He could not have scripted a better start. But he had a similar run at last year’s Roland Garros, giving hope a huge shot in the arm. That was brought down by Nadal, and Federer was clearly devastated. That was just to win the FO.

Now, he has too much on his plate, compared to that ‘minor’ goal. Clearly, Roddick is least of his worries, irrespective of what he does. Federer would love to see Roddick take out Nadal in the semis, and Nalbandian take out Djokovic. Although Nalbandian has a better H2H against Federer, Djokovic is the one with better weaponry, not to mention youth.

Nadal is hoping for Djokovic to take Federer out in the semis, to give him a shot at the top rank. Mentally, he is more upto handling Djokovic than Federer on hard court.

Will any of them get their wish, or is it going to be same old, same old?

Marat Safin on popular demand. You all are so shallow, superficial and vain. I can’t believe an intellectual like me is stuck with you freaks.

 

 

 

 

Isner ecstatic and having the last laugh, as Federer contiues annihilation.

 

Very rarely do you feel glad after losing the first round match at a Grand Slam. But Isner is happy to be alive and that his tennis career is not over yet. The ‘magician’ that beat him in straight sets was clobbered in straight sets with a bagel. Isner is smiling and relieved after putting two and two together. He figures three straight bagels in less than an hour, may not have been the boost he is looking for, at this stage in his career.

Remember that story about Prophet Moses, when he defeated the magicians mercilessly, and they fell down prostrate in complete submission? All through this match, Sontoro was trying to pull off that ‘complete self vanishing’ trick from the court in vain. All his magic was bundled together in a small sack and shoved violently up his alley. The score? 6-1, 6-2, 6-0. Got questions?

This may not be the best time to be playing Federer, if you want to keep your dignity and self respect. It is better to start preparing your presser speech, to nurse your banged up ego, even before you step on the court.

Federer’s next opponent is not helping himself claiming that he is from Serbia, and his name is some Tipsyturvy Janko. Good time to change nationalities, and get a new name at the same time. Wouldn’t you rather do that than perish?

Man, this is looking like an endless train wreck. It’s a good idea to voluntarily inject some virus, and move away from direct path of the train. Fake an injury, instead of having the real one, that WILL scar you for life.

This Tipsyturvy guy has already lost the match, at many places in his body: Brain, stomach, genitals, practically all glands that secrete etc. Do you think you can win even a game here? Just freaking spare the embarrassment and the physical torture for nothing, and go back into your hole. Should have done what Isner did, but you still have options. Take them.

I need the DNA of that stomach virus. Mom is setting up a date with that 19-year old ‘same brain capacity’ girl next door. I have to impress. All my life I have known just one way to do that. That virus can help.
