Board 8 > Australian Open 2012 Stats & Discussion [tennis][injuries][murray loses]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Superior picks time.

Djokovic>Ferrer - lol Ferrer
Murray>Nishikori - Nishikori i feel hasn't ever really lived up to his talent and he's in a bad situation here
Federer>Del Potro - MotT nothing, Federer will stomp but may feel generous in giving him a set.
Berdych>Nadal - 5-3 advantage Nadal on Hardcourts I believe, upset special because top 4 seeds in the finals is too cookie cutter.

Wozniacki>Clisters - Clijsters pulls her hamstring in the middle of the second set while leading 5-3
Azarenka>Radwanksa - Azarenka best player in the tournament so far.
Makarova>Sharapova - Safina style run from Makarova time, don't worry she'll collapse into nothingness in due time
Kvitova>Errani - Does she have a wikipedia page?

Nadal is just a stepping stone for our lord and saviour Berdych.

Here are my lame predictions. also, lol autoflag.

Djokovic>Ferrer - Straight sets victory along Djokovic's path to becoming the next Federer/Nadal.
Murray>Nishikori - Too early for Nishikori, maybe next year the upset could happen. Either way, Djokovic wins the semi.
Federer>Del Potro - Delpo will never get back to his 2009 US Open standards.
Nadal>Berdych - Boring. Nadal will win this in 4 sets, then lose to Federer in 5.

Clijsters>Wozniacki - Clijsters looks to be back to her best again (again). However, this will go to 3 sets.
Azarenka>Radwanksa - Could this be the year Azarenka finally gets a slam? (No).
Sharapova>Makarova- Great tournament for Makarova, sadly for her, she has to play Sharapova in the quarters.
Kvitova>Errani - Who cares?

--
Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, the Guru champion for the 2010 GotD.

Seeing as everyone else is doing it, I'll predict these too. Probably be well off with the scores.

Djokovic>Ferrer - 6-3, 6-4, 6-1
Murray>Nishikori - 6-4, 6-7, 6-3, 6-2
Federer>Del Potro - 4-6, 7,6 6-4, 6-1
Nadal>Berd*** - 6-2, 6-3, 6-1

Wozniacki>Clijsters - 6-4, 6-7, 6-2
Azarenka>Radwanksa - 6-3, 7-5
Sharapova>Makarova - 7-6, 7-5
Kvitova>Errani - 6-3, 6-4

Set my alarm for Clijsters/Woz (and then Fed/JMDP). Looks like I underestimated Radwanska.

Who knew the Rivalry Rumble would be so predictable? SuperNiceDog, that's who.

Woo Azarenka. No idea what happened that first set, though.

--

Alright, we get it, Wozniacki hasn't won a major yet. We don't need to take a cheap shot at her being world #1 every other point.

--

Woz still won't have a major. She's clearly outmatched vs Clijsters.

Great set of tennis. I think Woz has kept her chances alive by stalling Clijsters - she was threatening to blast her off the court for a bit.

--

ever since 4-1 vs Jankovic, she's suddenly been playing a lot worse.

http://last.fm/user/xdevilbunny || http://rateyourmusic.com/~VelociBrad

Yeah, this match is pretty much over. Azarenka should be a better match for Clijsters next round. Let's get this one over this so we can get Federer and del Potro out here.

--

Woz has no weapons it seems. She just waits for everyone to make mistakes.

Thought Clijsters may have been a bit sore after her last match, where she had to tape her ankle etc, guess not. I'd say she'd probably be favourite against Azarenka.

--
~ Ringworm ~

Woz always disappoints in the majors. so sad.

oh well. lets watch Federer mop the floor with JDP.

http://last.fm/user/xdevilbunny || http://rateyourmusic.com/~VelociBrad

Misread the score online when making that last post, thought she won the second set 6-3 but was only up 5-3. Clijsters still won the set and match, and I'd still say she'd be favourite. Didn't get to see much at all of either match though.

Next match should be a good one, will have to knock off work a bit early.

--
~ Ringworm ~

Clijsters so unimpressive, Azarenka gonna stomp the semi...

(This thought originally formulated when she was 5-3 up, going to a tiebreaker just proves my point.)

Oh **** you TSN. I wanted to watch delpo/federer.

I overslept and missed everything.

Just how badly did del Potro play and has Nadal looked good against Berdych so far?

Two sets to oooooone!

Del Potro played good, he's just outplayed by Fed (remember their 2009 AO clash? similar to that, which means watch for delpo winning US Open this year!)

Nadal's sucky as usual :3

--
literally obsessed

I just saw the stats, Carvy.

Nadal's serving at 75% with 37 winners and 23 unforced.

He's playing fine.

I also saw that he got screwed on a bad call in the tiebreak he lost (though he SHOULD have challenged sooner, it just sucks that a missed call helped decide the tiebreak).

You can't get sucked into Nadal's pace Berdych! You'll lose a battle of endurance!

If Berdych goes down he's bringing Nadal down with him. 4 hour match prior to facing Federer?

No thx.

Indeed. Nadal will only need 4 sets this time. Djokovic easily stomps both, though.

wtf are you talking about?

A four hour match TWO DAYS before a match against Federer?

It won't even be a factor.

You and I probably jinxed this match into three sets.

Also, Sharapova's screaming is so hot.

A lot of them have annoying grunts.

I love hers.

Not only can Sharapova double fault at will, she can force other players to double fault.
