Same question as usual with Ferrer: stuck as a pretender or serious contender?
Will Ferrer ever take the next step and be able to beat one of the big top 3 (top 4 with nadal playing) in a grand slam or when they are not playing with a serious injury? Such a poor past record against them....
I admire his fight, persistence and hardwork but the talent just does not seem to be there
Ferrer does not seem to have the offensive weapons to beat Djok and just rely om him making too many mistakes or the game goes 7 or 8 hours to bore him to victory?
also think mentally Ferrer goes into those games expecting not to win now
Djok in 3/4 sets for me

I still feel the same about the match
Night games at AO this week have seen the ball be reported as being heavy and giving advantage to players that hit big ground strokes bcos there is more margin for error than normal or day matches (not my opinion but tv commentators) Ferrer does not have those heavy ground strokes Djok would have to play really bad and his first serve to be well well down on normal to lose this |

I want Ferrer to win, but I wouldnt mind if Djokovic wins and it reduces Murray's chances

somehow Murray/Federer vs Ferrer final does not have same appeal
|
|
By:
I think it would because everyone would be wanting Ferrer to win.
|
|
By:
whereas not many people like Djokovic or Murray.

Ferrer would prob choke if he ever finally made a final of a gslam
would not like his chances of winning a final French (with no Nadal) would be his best chance |
|
By:
i like all players who win when i have my money on them - esp djok and fed who have not let me down much over the years :)

Ferrer win not out of the question, Djoko great against big hitters, but more mobile players like Stan have a chance.
|
|
By:
how long until nadal is back?
|
|
By:
Ferrer will do well to push Novak in 3 sets, or even pinch 1 set tonight

couldn't disagree more with with opening read on this game

cound't disagree more with the opening read on this match

By:
talent, persona, attitude and sportsmanship would love to see ferrer kick djok and fed and specially the murray's brat arses
|
|
By:
what ferrer lack's is a genetic shortcomming for this game: height.
|
|
By:
you talk like federer is a ****..
|
|
By:
other wise he made the absolute outmost of his body and tennis game.
|

having said that my money is on djoker
|
|
By:
djoker start playing hurt soon
|
|
By:
no no. love federer's game, actually i love good tennis, regardless who plays it. but i think ferrer deserved a shining start slam prize to his career
|
|
By:
and ferrer will at very least complicate djoker's life for the final
|

*star not start

such an easy rhythm for djokovic, and ferrer flirting with errors if he wants to punch through.

beautiful tennis!!
|
|
By:
Djok extremely focused but it's a horrible matchup for Ferrer
|
|
By:
so much intensity in ferrer's game and yet 2 breaks down...
|
|
By:
Djoko not having to do anything to win this, ferrer handing him it
|
|
By:
6-2 girls score from serving first coming up
|
|
By:
Court just far too slow for Ferrer to get any purchase on his attacking shots
|
|
By:
UE from Ferrer though
|
|
By:
he also lacks the free first serve points that would at least give him some extra breathing time
|
|
By:
come on ferrer, give him a game
|
|
By:
lack of UEs usually ferrers strength..now his weakness
|
|
By:
djoker makes this look so easy...
|
|
By:
Ferrer needs a plan B...if he has one, try coming in and being more aggressive playing side to side like he was against Almagor aint going to work, Aussie commentator has just said what I was thinking he is great commentator.
