World Tour Finals Thread - Match & Prediction Thread

[Guest]

First topic message reminder :

So the ATPs premier showpiece event hits the O2 on Sunday. The sixth showing at the O2 and yielded only 3 different winners. Very interesting this year. 3 virgin qualifiers in Cillic, Raonic and Nishikori. Can we see a new winner? Can Nishikori and Raonic win the biggest title of their careers to date? Federer will have an eye on the DC like his compatriot Wawrinka, though he is woefully out of form of late. Has Murray much left in the tank to win his first title here at the O2? Can Berdych do a Davydenko and strike out of nowhere? Will it be a routine Djokovic victory?

For me the 2 that qualify from each group will be:

Group A

1) Djokovic
2) Raonic

Group B

1) Murray
2) Federer

Djokovic/Murray final

Winner: Djokovic

What a poor tiebreak from Raonic, wow

[Jahu]

HE, both are "fake" Canadians

[summerblues]

Nice.

Fed looked beatable in the second set, but Raonic could not take advantage.

[laverfan]

Horrible TB from Raonic. Deserved a third set, but just fell apart.

[Jahu]

So Fed can play a super 1 set, then crash on second, and possibly wake up in third.

He has done this scenario a few times this year, as a senior papi.

[Haddie-nuff]

Well Milos yes, his parents came here when he was around 10 or so I believe. Rusedski on the other hand has dual nationality, he was born here but chose to play for Britain.(on his mother's side) Now settled there with a British wife ..???? am I right .. so one could say he is not fake but not a thoroughbred !!!

[Jahu]

LF, still laughing at your comment for Paris, Raonic has as much personality as a brass door knob

Are you watching the trophy presentation IMBL?

Definitely needs a charisma transplant doesn't he?

If only these players could see the truth that forum posters know.

[Jahu]

HE, one should be counted from Daddy roots only, thought one is assured only of his mom, dads might not be who we think always

Now Edberg giving gifts to his own student

[Silver]

'Senior papi', definitely appropriating this for my own usage going forward Jahu

Well done from Fed, routine straight sets is what was called for. Shame Raonic never really settled though, hopefully he's not so nervy next match.

[Jahu]

IMBL is more of a Krug & Bollinger guy

[bogbrush]

What on Earth is the music for. I mean, Stefan - 'Stay close to me'. Is this some kind of gay hint thing?

[Jahu]

HE, yes, one of those chip implants, but he is cool and clean

[Jahu]

Edberg looking like a 38y guy. Loved him

[laverfan]

Can you help Raonic with advice, since you are now in Canada?

[Guest]

I think Roger should donate that bottle of Moët to 606V2!

[laverfan]

LF, still laughing at your comment for Paris, Raonic has as much personality as a  brass door knob

You are incorrigible.

[Haddie-nuff]

Dont like it when they are too squeeky clean though..

[hawkeye]

Federer being presented with a bottle of Moet Chandon

[Jahu]

So this thread going down the panties road again?

Even BB is on the flirty gay music wagon

[Guest]

Moat?

Think you've been on the Moët!

[Jahu]

LF, still laughing at your comment for Paris, Raonic has as much personality as a  brass door knob

You are incorrigible.

True, but don't give up on me

[laverfan]

Can Wawrinka do a bit better than what he has done post-MC?

[Jahu]

Moat?

Think you've been on the Moët!

Hahajaj, tears flowing from LoL

HN you are mean

LF its painful between each break in play they play this advert of all the current Canadian tennis players. over and over . well give them credit bless em.. this is a new era for them.. but oh dear Milos Ive had as much fun having a wisdom tooth removed.  Im sorry however much promise he promised it hasn't arrived.. and there is no spark is there?  What would you suggest....?? careful LF

Yep, I saw it.

By the way, does anyone know a repair shop for shattered TV screens ? Also I can't seem to find any of the pieces of my remote.

[Guest]

I hope so LF.

His form since MC has been awful.

I am sure there was a warm feeling in your heart when Take That rung out

Seriously though why did the TV have to suffer?

[Jahu]

IMBL hahahahah, you are just pretending you are mean, you so cute

[Jahu]

LK, forget the TV, no remote!!

[temporary21]

I fancy Berdych to win this one oddly enough. Should be a good match though.

Andy reflects on 2014.

Liking the positive viewpoints. I want him to get as much into the off-season as possible.

[laverfan]

I hope so LF.

His form since MC has been awful.

If he wants to get back in the grove and defend his AO, he needs to put in a bit more work, and I think, like Murray, this seems to be between the ears. The pressure in DC is going to be worse than this.

[temporary21]

That being said a nice start, Wawrinkas serve is banging in hard.

To his luck he is facing a team of emotional wrecks on the other side of the net.

[Jahu]

Stan kicking ass 6:1, 3:1 up on Berdy.

Go Stan go.

[Jahu]

Stan takes it 6:1, 6:1.

[Guest]

Well played Berd......Not!

Let's hope Stan kicks on from that.

[temporary21]

Ouch, that was a drubbing, lets hope Cilic puts up a better fight

[Jahu]

He better.

[Guest]

Hate to say it Murdoch, but the Walking Dead is more important than Djokovic tonight unless of course he wins 6:0 6:0!

[MrInvisible]

Not a great start to the tournament - no match going the distance to 3 sets yet, a scrappy affair between Murray and Nishikori, predictable win for Federer over Raonic and a woeful Berdych. Was thinking of trying to get a ticket but glad I haven't.

Many of the ATP world final tournaments start strongly and fizzle out in knock-out stage - here's hoping its the other way round this time and we get some cracking matches later on.

[Jahu]

Get the tickets, who cares for tennis there?

[Johnyjeep]

Wow - was Wawrinka on fire?

[lags72]

Hardly put a foot wrong !

[Johnyjeep]

That's good for the tournament to be honest if he is.

Otherwise everyone is just waiting for the Federer Djokovic final!

[lags72]

I'd say it's pretty much a given that Djoko will be there in the Final. Big surprise if not.

But in the wake of Paris, I also think his opponent will be A.N.Other - who may, or may not necessarily, be Federer ......

[Jahu]

Stan will beat Djoko, he plays always at his best against Djoko.

Come on Ciliccccc
