at indian wells, it was quite windy =\
Thanks!
Might not be going out on a limb, but there’s a good chance I’ll be right!
I did predict Federer would win the French Open before that tournament started, so sometimes I take chances =)
Hey FYB, love your videos! But I’m going to give you a little crap for this. You’re really not going out on any kind of a limb here. Saying you predict a Federer/Nadal final is like saying you predict Tiger Woods is going to win the US Open golf championship! Not really a stretch, if you get my drift.
Keep up the great work on your tennis analysis, though. You’re one of the best analysts on YouTube.
nadal could have been injured in that madrid final!!!! maybe thats why fed won!
I completely agree with your women’s prediction. However, I highly doubt (although Nadal has been my favorite player for years now) that nadal will make it to the finals coming off his injury. I think we may possibly be looking at a fed v murray final or a fed vs delpo final. Great video, keep up the good work!
It would be — I misspoke.
What About RODDICK!!!! It’s his time.
I think Nadal getting to the finals is a big prediction. Not huge, but I expect someone to take him out.
As talk tennis would say, Will Hamilton, you are borderline Fedtard. That’s okay with me. I expect Federer to win too
i strongly doubt its gonna be a federer vs nadal final, but i sure hope ur predictions are correct. personally i think things are so much harder to predict on nadal’s side of the draw. he, murray and delpo each have a good chance of reaching the finals IMO. gotta keep in mind nadal’s knees tho, they’d have to hold…
i thought it’s his 6th us open?
why do all players play so badly against federer…especially the lower ranked players..i mean does roger do something special or is it just a mental thing…I mean there’s hardly any ralles….
I mean at the french he was about to lose in THREE of his matches until the magnitude of the stage got to his opponents and they choked i guess….acasuco, haas and JMDP
i love your videos because you really know what your talking about:)
alot of people say that this is murrays chance and whatever. but they said that for wimbledon as well. i just dont see him making it to the final. and as u said, if nadal gets some matches in him he should be pretty good for the quarters and semis. some of the espn guys are also saying that he would be alot fresher going deep into the tournament since he hasnt played as much. i say federer-nadal outcome is a through up but a little edge to federer. good call
Federer vs Rodick is going to be a very interesting match considering what just happened at the wimbledon final.
as much as I love Rafa, im afraid he wont get very far this open, let alone beating Murray. Del Potro and Tsonga r in good shape too and have a great chance.
Del Potro has taken a break since Montreal final and I bet that he’ll reach his first major final.
Nice predictions.
I think on the women’s side you nailed it, not much controversy there.
Although I’m certain that Fed will be in the men’s final, I think it’s a toss up as to whether Murray or Nadal will take Fed on for the title. I myself would prefer to see a Fed vs Nadal final, but I think if Murray keeps his head straight he could push past Nadal.
After Gasquet in the first round, Monfils, Gonzo and Tsonga are the only two guys in his quarter I think could give him some trouble. Monfils is the only guy he would face before the quarters.
Nadal, imo, has a very solid shot to reach the semis.
Del Po will win a major eventually imo, but he’s not ready yet. He got tired vs. Murray at the Rogers Cup — I’m highly suspect of his fitness over the course of 7 5-set matches.
Nadal won’t reach the final, im pretty sure
There is no way Del Potro is gonna beat murray, he doesn’t perform well in grand slams against the best in the world generally.
I don’t think Nadal will make the final…if anyone is upsetting Murray it’s probably JMDP.
But i agree with you about the federer thing.
Venus might lose to Clijsters in the fourth round.
he said there will probably be a rematch from the wimbledon 09 finals to the us open 09 semifinals
Ya misspoke there — added an annotation correcting that.
RE: haircut, I’m trying to grow a mullet =)
Nadal beating Murray is the interesting prediction here I think. Murray looks fitter and has been more succesful than last year – Nadal just the reverse. One writes Nadal off at your peril but I would’t be at all surprised if this comes round too soon for him to be fully recovered from his spell out.
