CMON ROGER!!!

really hope he gets those 750 points. i just want him to pull the **** away from the pack now. obv insanely hard to do as another rosol/nadal level upset w/ djok/nadal is pretty damn unlikely.

Re: Olympics: Tennis - AKA Wimbledon Part 2

Petkovic and Kanepi confirmed out today. The way I understand it, this means the German federation will be able to put Barthel on their team instead of Petko.

Rus is still not in tho. Since Timea Babos had an ITF WC and was one spot below the cutoff for direct entry, she's now eligible for direct entry, taking Kanepi's spot. This frees up the ITF WC, and the ITF gave the WC to Mariana Duque Marino.

Don't need an upset if he can win the coinflip and get Murray in his half instead of Nadal. Beating Murray then Djoker can't be any tougher than beating Djoker then Murray.

^ it is grass, not clay... He is favorite against anyone. Joker is the biggest threat imo, not rafa.
Also, this is london => a lot of chance of rain => indoor => unbeatable

Nadal is skipping the Olympics, most likely to start a new 'roid cycle.

i'm lazy. source good?

if so, that's 1 down. now just gotta beat djok. i'd say he's even money or a SLIGHT fav. either way it'd be a super close match and one that would probably be worthy of olympic history.

this is, btw, the only summer olympic sport i give like more than 2 ducks with an f about. winter olympics there's like 4-5 but none i know as much about (even though i follow lots of freestyle moguls even on non-olympic years, tennis is so much easier to follow lol).

so CMON ROGER and let's see an epic djok/fed match and have fed take down the gold. i want roger to end his career as the untouchable best player to ever play the game.
