How does Rafa even look? Is the decline inevitable or is he saving up cycles for only the French these days?

GSM Murray, 6-2 6-0. I mean, we thought he was done when he lost to Ferrer and Almagro on clay last year, only for him to routine Roland Garros. I would be very surprised if he manages to win another slam outside of Roland Garros or even comes close, though.

Talking about Almagro, he played his first matches since retiring at Roland Garros. 6-3 6-2 loss against Wawrinka and 6-4 7-6(6) win against Lopez. He withdrew from Doha because he isn't happy with his movement yet.

Ok maybe I was a bit optimistic on Nadal being number 1 at the end of the year haha.

Djoko looked so good against Stan though.

amazing genie

OMGawddddddd Genie stepping up her game for 2015. Them legs!

I think Brisbane draw is out for females yuuuuuup

mens draw is out too. LOL FED, gets a bye to the final

Must be the only person in the world that happens to think Genie isn't all that special. Tennis or looks-wise.

cibulkova-keys R1 and pova-lisicki R2 are juicy.

last year hewitt beat nishikori SF and fed in the F. He could do it again.

Kindly leave

Nah, don't leave. DGBG did this to me at the beginning of 2014 when I was entirely correct about a completely reasonable critique of her game, which is limited in all the ways I pointed out previously. DGBG is a slappy and bad poster, you are right about Genie.

I should be fair, DGBG is a GENIE slappy and bad TENNIS poster. Otherwise he's fine.

lol hoya. Yeah I remember your critique of Genie basically being "she has no game, but she'll probably win a bunch of slams and get to #1 because lolwomenstennis." That's not a critique, that's spewing hate while covering your ass to make yourself look like you made a correct prediction no matter what happens.

+1

lol krunic wanting it one way, I said I can fully understand how she'll lurk around top 5, possibly higher, and possibly win a slam or maybe 3 or 4

I also said that's the result of her terrible - still terrible, btw - service game and limited groundstrokes, which don't miss but don't dictate anything against anyone good, which is why her results against top 50 women are scattered proof of the variance box that is never missing but dictating nothing as a tennis strategy, which is both boring and completely unworthy of the slurping she gets here, and is also the dominant strategy on the women's tour, which is why it is basically unwatchable as a sport, and also why it's so sad to watch this thread routinely be incapable of accepting that the world is that way

it really is that way

she's fine at tennis, she's fine at looks, you guys are absolute clowns because saying that she's merely fine at tennis and fine at looks gets you so riled up that you literally want people who disagree with your view of her game, which is wrong in the first place, to leave your precious thread, even when they're the only people in the thread who actually know what they're talking about

lol you, always and forever

or putting it differently

dude comes in, states he doesn't think she's all that

is told to leave for being a hater

lol

if you wanna hate on cute ~top-5 players, go do it in the PUB or something

Someone throw up the DIDS someone may dislike a woman bat signal.

the funny part is I don't dislike her at all, I dislike the ethos of the tennis posters on this specific topic, which they managed to make an issue by being a boner to heh for no reason by post #38

Genie

Guy got really mad at me for telling the guy to kindly leave huh?

Relax brother we're all here to have a good time. No need to start a new season that way. Not sure I can be a slappy for Genie when I all but agreed with krunic's assessment of the outlook for her in 2015. If anything I'm rather critical of Genie and if you go through some of last year's posts I blow my top during some of her sub par performances. I tend to do that with all my favs because I truly get emotionally invested, sometimes too much. You have the right to your opinion though even if I find it humorous you'd write a paragraph and post multiple times on a sport you are all but claiming to be a joke. My only gripe with you is calling me a bad tennis poster. For that remark you can kindly leave and **** off.
