IS HE BACK?
Can Federer still get a wildcard for Madrid or Rome? With Choko and SCAM being so shit, Kyrgios getting diarrhea every week, Stan being Stan, and Nadal being his bitch this year so far, he could easily win one clay tournament.
Djokovic deserves to lose for being too defensive.

The big 4 are finished apart from fed
its the big 1
Kek the thread image was actually used, love it
First top 3 win for Goffin
First win over the bot, first monte carlo SF best match I've ever seen Goffin play
he hacked that Bot to pieces, Bot was dysfunctional in set 1 but after that it was high quality from both
>>75400021
Does he have a chance against Roidal?
Djokovic should retire
>>75399977
Lost
Now, what would you prefer? Nadal advancing to the title, or seeing him lose so that the choke becomes absolute?
>>75400033
Well Nadal will have to hit the ball very short like Djokovic did a lot of times this match. And Goffin has to make sure his BH holds up
BIG 4 WHEN???

Seeing Nadal lose is always the best option anyway

>>75400044
I don't care either way about Nadal winning or losing a title but if he loses, we'll have a new Master 1000 winner, which would be cool.
>all this talk about Rafa winning the title
what about /ourguy/ DIEGO SCHWARTZMAN?

He wasn't that good against Edmund in the last two sets. If he performs like that again he could lose. He's lost three finals this year so far lol.

Nadal, on clay, succeeds due to his defensive prowess and extreme topspin forehand. When a player catches him out of sorts in a rally, the ball sticking to the surface of the clay and bouncing high up gives Nadal time to get to it, making his opponent play that one extra shot. His forehand, already spinning up and away, is helped by the court's bounce, making it harder to hit back in an aggressive way, especially if you're a one-hander.
Federer is successful on grass due to his attacking style and steady slice backhand. When he gets the upper hand in a rally, he's able to strike the ball into places where once it hits the grass, it stays low and slides away deeper in the direction it was hit, making it super hard to get to. In other rallies, his slice stays low and buys him time, requiring tennis players (who are usually tall) to dig low and return the ball. This means Federer usually gets a neutral shot to feast on. The slice is a shot that is very effective and has helped him have such a good winning record against the taller men in the game.
This is not to say that these two shots are the only reason these players succeed. Federer moves very well on clay and has a killer forehand, and Nadal can attack well on grass too. It's just the simplest case to illustrate the difference between the two surfaces.

Imagine being Nadal in that final and having to be all like "damn, Roger Federer, your fuckin' quickness and finesse, all centered and balanced and never missing backhands. I would totally have your backhand, both my clay form and the none clay me." when all he really wants to do is insert another 16 needles in his dressing room. Like seriously imagine having to be Nadal and not only sit on your base line while Roger Federer flaunts his superior athleticism in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing your receding hairline, and just sit there, shot after shot, set after set, while he perfected that backhand. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fucking forehand but his superior sportsmanship as everyone on the court tells him he's STILL THE GOAT and DAMN, A 35 YEAR OLD PLAYS LIKE THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his one handed backhand contort the ball into reaching areas of the court you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been injecting nothing but a healthy diet of roids and TRT and later HGH for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the mud huts in Spain. You've never even seen anything this fucking talented before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on his bandanaed forehead as he strikes the ball in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his GOAT Status "FedeGOAT (for that is what he calls himself)". And then the umpire calls for another let service, and you know you could kill every single person one the court before the slams security could put you down, but you take your second serve, because you're fucking Nadal. You're not going to lose your future Roland Garros win for this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

>Then, as the teams came together for the cameras, Nastase put his arm around Anne Keothavong, the British captain, and asked for her room number â an uncomfortable moment given their 37-year age difference, as well as her status as a married mother with a second child on the way.

This is fucking repulsive. An absolute battler like Ramos making a Masters final completely devalues the achievement.
Also matches like these are why everyone who cried about the big 4 were always wrong. It's far better having an established pecking order than having random shitters making/winning finals.
And Pouille will never achieve anything of note. Nothing more than a solid Jack Sock tier player. Embarrassing when he gets put in the discussion with elite talents like Kyrgios.

Kyrgios is 3 years younger and already far more accomplished than Sock. I have nothing against Sock, but he's clearly not a future slam winner. No one really pretends he is but some do with Pouille.

Wonder if Federer is having second thoughts about skipping the clay season. Literally could've made the final blindfolded here. He'd wanna win another slam otherwise throwing away the #1 ranking is going to look pretty pointless at the end of the year.

THE NEED TO SLIDE
Because of the fine covering on top of the surface it simply isnât possible to move as effectively on a clay court using the same movement techniques that are used on a hard court.
Being able to slide across clay is the easy part, the tough part is being able to time the slide into the shot while maintaining balance to be able to swing freely through the shot and then to finish in a strong position to allow good recovery back into court. Sliding is an art and can only be mastered through spending a considerable amount of time on the surface.

>404 - tits not found

>>75417468
yeah
A CONSTANTLY CHANGING SURFACE
A clay court will play fast with high bounce on a dry, sunny day and on an overcast, wet day the same court will play much slower with a lower bounce.
The bounce of a clay court is more variable than that of a hard court. With constant play (clay gathers at the end of a slide) and the effects of weather, it is near impossible for clay courts to maintain a consistent bounce throughout the whole playing area during a match. Even with daily maintenance and proper upkeep, the very best clay courts will produce the odd bad bounce.
It is worth noting the lines on a clay court are usually made of plastic and when the ball hits the line it shoots through very quickly â so be ready!

THE EFFECT OF SPIN
A ball hit with topspin reacts differently on a clay court compared to a hard court. The gritty surface of a clay court means a ball hit with spin will bite more into the court and will enhance the effect of the spin put on the ball. If topspin is put on the ball, the ball will bounce higher and sharper off the clay court than the same ball hit on a hard court.
Clay also plays slower than hard or grass courts, which makes it tougher to hit unreturnable winners. Due to the clay courtâs high bounce and slower conditions the majority of clay court specialists go back further in the court to hit the ball, creating more time to set up for the shot and allowing them to take the ball under shoulder height, where they can generate maximum power.
>>75417594
>no tits
>no ass
FIVE REASONS TO TRAIN ON CLAY
- Improved decision making as longer rallies are played.
- Improved mental toughness and endurance.
- Players learn to be a lot more patient.
- A variety of shots including spins and angles are required to win points.
- Softer surface provides less stress to the body.
Nadal looks darker each passing year.

Rafa hits a ball out. it's called out. Rafa challenges the call. Mourier goes down the check. says it's in (it's not).
Goffin mad. Crowd mad.
Goffin was up a break until that game. Rafa breaks back. Rafa holds his serve in the next game. and then breaks Goffin in the following one
>>75418697
Rafa didn't challenge, Mourier just went to check as they usually do.
>>75418697
thanks, did he get the wrong mark?
>>75418717
yes

that's more stupid than I originally thought

>>75418853
>>75418853
You mean crippled Fed who had struggled with injury all year and didn't play again for the rest of the year after that match?
>>75418853
Remember when he said he lost more than Raonic won in the post match press conference?

Goffin didn't shake the umpire's hand. that's very unlike him
>>75418967
it's not (entirely) his fault he lost this match. that one call fucked him up. he could have taken the first set

why should he? it was the umpire who fucked up the first set hardcore. completely changed the dynamics or the set, and match...just by being a dumb frenchman

are you sure that's the right word? why would I have contempt for Goffin? I'm actually a Goffin fan. I've cheered him on in so many of these threads?

>>75419173
it's unlike him in the sense that he's never shown so much emotion on court. but I can empathise with him. like, I understand why he did it. for some reason, I expected him to shake hands as usual. it was unexpected but I get it. I don't really disapprove of what he did.
still don't see how that would indicate contempt. I'm clearly on Goffin's side

>>75420752
Because there was no need to.
>>75420752
he should not make anydecisions favoring anyone at all pedro
>>75420752
>he only cheated once
>>75420775
So, you are telling me that one bad ref call is enough to break goffin's spirit?
>>75420971
One absurdly and clearly malicious bad call.
>>75420752
do rafa tards really think this way?
>>75420971
it's because he was clearly wrong and everyone knew
>>75420777
>>75420876
>>75420777
Perhaps I didnt put that correctly. The referee took a bad decision and it happened to favour one player. Seen that happen a lot of times. But, of course, I agree it was quite shitty of Nadal not to say anything about it, yet it also was Goffin's attitude from then on.
dare i say, perfect face?
>>75421116

>>75421099
it's not really the bad decision itself that flustered him but because he went out of they way to make it, nobody questioned it was out, Nadal didn't challenge it
it was just weird
>>75421328
bet she'd rock a skin tight hijab 2bh
>>75420999
Now you are just imagining things, dude. I would also think it was rigged if the referee took away the ad point from Goffin and gave it to Nadal, making the score a deuce, but his final decision was just to replay the point with Goffin still being at 40-ad.
>>75421475
are you dense senpai?
there was no need to replay the point because IT WAS 15 METERS OUT and the GAME WAS WON
>>75421556
https://youtu.be/f5BQEq4Kb88
>>75421405
My opinion is that he just took the wrong mark. Because the right one was too clearly out for him to doubt the line judge and make them replay the point.
Can't wait for Goffin to take revenge.

Rafa-Zverev/Kohli rematch. and if Rafa gets past them then Goffin-Rafa rematch in the semis
>>75422074
Wimmin just don't understand sportsmanship.
>>75422302
Shit, Murray's draw is tough. But I think he has made the right decision participating in Barcelona. He certainly needs more matches to build his game and confidence to stand a chance at defending the myriad of points he still has left in these upcoming clay tournaments.
>>75421604
That's mental.
>>75422535
I remember reading an article where Murray said that he's not 100% there yet physically. he said that he had to had to decide if he should rest up to be 100% fit or if he should get more practice to perform better
I would have recommended the former 2bh
>>75422302
>Kei Nishimura
Remember when this guy got into a slam final?
>>75422648
>I remember reading an article where Murray said that he's not 100% there yet physically
I question myself if he really had a tear in his forearm as he claims he had, same with Djokovic's elbow. An actual muscle tear takes waaay more than 3 weeks to heal and allow someone to even practice. See Raonic. Must have been a pretty tiny one.
>>75422849
they just wanted to rest
>>75422849
pretty sure Djokovic was just fine. he just wanted to chill for a bit
>>75422814
>Injued during clay season AGAIN
He is too stupid or careless to ever get a good seeding in slams
>>75422901
>he just wanted to chill for a bit
Didnt he chill enough after the Australian Open? Didnt play any tournament for like a month or so IIRC. Not a good sign when nothing is wrong with your body and you feel you need to rest constantly due to the state of your mental game.
>>75423028
his heart's not in it anymore. I don't blame him. I think he's started to try again though. he put a commendable fight against Goffin yesterday. I suspect he has a couple of slams left in him
>>75423094
>ywn truly discover what happened to him before wimbledon 2016
>>75422814
Oh, yes. Who can forget he was the one who handed Cilic his first and only slam of his career.
>>75423108
he fulfilled his purpose and found himself in an existential crisis
>inb4 "marital troubles"
>>75423108
Big reason is probably winning the career GS.
I mean you have to insanely ambitious to challenge Fed's record.
>>75423108
He ran out of gluten free food and his egg chamber broke.
>>75423164
>>75423167
at last i truly see
>>75423167
He also played the best season of all time in 2015.
But I guess he thought it wasn't worth the effort anymore. Or he just stopped roiding.
>>75423167
I remember Meligeni saying on TV once that when Guga was no. 1, he talk about how hated that life, that it was too draining and all he wanted was to chill and have some time alone. Maybe it's the same.
>>75423094
>his heart's not in it anymore. I don't blame him.
God knows what really his problem is. At times during his match against Goffin he started punching his legs after failing a return as if they were not responding to what he wanted to do. Maybe he is truly physically declining and cant generate anymore the needed speed and suppleness that were the trademark of his tennis. It was pretty notorious when you compared his court speed to Goffin's, it was like he was playing in slowmo compared to David.
You have to hand it to Vinolas. To get to this final took some fucking doing.
>>75423985
For certain. Admirable the mental fortitude this guy has. Winning against Murray being outplayed constantly and not being the slightest disheartened after losing that closing game and tie break in the second set and being broken again in the first game of the third set in his match against Cilic. What this guy lacks in talent he makes up for it with willpower.
It's his first final ever in this level of tournament and against no other than the best ever on the surface. Let's hope he shows up and doesnt give in to the nerves so that he at least he make things difficult to Nadal unlike Verdasco.

He will, just to save tennis from Roidal
>>75425993
>>75425748
He will break his leg again if he makes another attempt to win the French Open. Besides, if Nadal accomplishes that feat at the masters, which I seriously doubt, he will make mincemeat out of about anyone in the FO because his confidence will be in the stratosphere.
