Borg: Rafa will win Wimbledon 2008

[LukeParkerno1]

Beating Daveydenko is nothing, he is useless to be honest, the worst no3/4 in the world in history!

What is wrong with his opinion..nothing EXCEPT he proclaims it as fact! There is a big difference between saying "Nadal WILL win Wimbledon", and saying "Nadal is a good chance to win Wimbledon". The second saying would be far and away more correct, as it is impossible to predict the future, especially when the bloke he is tipping to win has yet to win a grass event- that is a fact TP, like it or not at this point in Nadal's career that statement is true. All I am saying is it is not wrong to have a opinion, as that is all this is, but Bjorg could try and use the RIGHT words to desribe his opinion!

I never said Federer would win 25 slams- I said he PROBALLY will win 20, and at the most 25. Really depends on injuries.

 

[Syd Kennets]

why cant be have his own analysis and opinion? according to him nadal will win it and whats wrong with that? do we on bigfooty have the only right to predict and conclude? Some w***er on bigfooty can claim federer will win 25 slams before he retires but no one else can predict anything else? if borg said that federer will win 2008 wimbledon i am sure we wont be saying anything.. and being a legend of the game his opinion carries way more value than any of us on bigfooty im afraid.

TP, you out of everyone here makes more ridiculous claims and predictions than anyone? and who are you?!?! you belittle everyone else for having an opinion, but yours is gospel, what with all your bookmarking and such.

Predictions are predictions.

Oh, and for saying Rafa would be two time champion of wimbledon if it wasnt for roger, i get to say, Fed would have been 3 time french open champion and have completed the grand slam twice.

 

[Syd Kennets]

And Predictions should be prefaced with, i think, in my opinion, not RAFA WILL WIN WIMBLEDON.

who said it was a fact??? amazing really...he is not a fortune teller but i would rather rely on his analysis than armchair experts on bigfooty. That is my point.

Anyway, so you reckon beating davydenko is less credible than beating thomas johansson?? do you want to start a poll on that one? johnasson went down 61 60 63 in this grand slam, that means the guy who beat him achieved a massive feat...since he beat a former hardcourt champion.

rafa on grass >>>> fed on clay. Even federer himself admitted it.

and here.....borgs opinion >>> yours. Borg won 5 wimbledon titles, what have you done in your life?? ****, you dont even know what a winner is.

I am saying Daveydenko is a journeyman, nothing more, nothing less, never even close to winning a slam!

All everyone is saying about Bjorg is he should choose his words better, as saying people WILL win, is different to saying people MIGHT win a slam!

agreed davy is a journeyman but at the moment beating davy >>>>>> daylight >>>>>> beating johansson. Anyone who knows anything about tennis will agree to it. Johansson like hewitt is on the way down, its not the same anymore.

According to borg rafa will win, whats wrong with that? didnt mcenrore come out and say fed will win 20 slams? i never heard anyone saying anything to that

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What is wrong with it..um something to do with Nadal having NEVER won a grass title in his life..that is sort of the problem!

so what? he has proven the fact that he is not very far beyond federer on grass and almost beat him last time around.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Almost this, almost that..fair dinkum you sound liek Collingwood! A victory for them is getting to a GF! I don't care if he got to grass finals, all I care is how many he has won..an dthat number is ZERO. Bjorg offered his opinion, nothing wrong with that, but he should use "opinion" words rather than fact words!

so what makes people say novak will win a grand slam as well??? he never won any.

When have I ever said Nole will definately will a slam? I have said he'll be a contender..and seeing he is 3rd in the word that is a fair comment!

never said you, but a lot of tennis expert said he will win a slam next year.I didnt see an uproar then

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Can't say I have seen those comments, but if I did, I would have said the same thing. He is a contender, but nothing is certain in tennis!

nothing is certain in any sport, not just tennis.Its just his opinion and prediction, take a chill pill

Then he should have said "In my opinion Nadal will win Wimbledon in 2008"..

so when did he claim to be a nostradomous anyway? obviously its his opinion. I can say... Nole will win the Aus open 2008...it automatically means IMO under my analysis, nole will win Aus open. Duh

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Not necessarily- it means what you say. You have to use "in my opinion" or "possibly" in the speech.

so whose opinion is it if i say port will win the GF this year? i dont have tarot cards or crystal balls

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Small difference..you are predicting something in 2 weeks..not in 8 MONTHS time! If you said that about 2008..i'd say the same thing. Opinion should be closely linked with opinion words!

why is it different didnt mcenrore say it last year that federer will win french open in 2007? he also said after he beat rafa on clay this year that the code has been broken and nothing will stop fed now. Its not mc just even yannick noah did.I didnt see anyone bringing that up, only cause its rafa people are bagging him?`

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I didn't hear those comments about McEnroe, so you are beating a dead horse with that one. All I am saying and it goes for everyone- opinion should be linked with opinion words. Whether that opinion be about Feder, Djokovic, Nadal or anyone else. You cannot say someone WILL win something when nothing is certain!

duh...lets just agree to disagree, we are going nowhere.According to borg rafa will win wimbledon 2008.End of the story.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Agreed, lets agree to disagree. Fighting won't get us anywhere.

 

[gaelictiogar]

no it wont, come back when nole wins a set against federer in grand slams. Rafa knows feds vulnerability and matching fed on grass court is not something anyone has done over the past 5 years.

Before the final at Flushing Meadows you were predicting Nole would win....what happened? Straight sets win for federer. Afetr that game wyou were predicting that fed would never beat nole again in a Slam...what now? When someone elsepredicts that Djoko can wein Wimbledon - which clearly he can - you dismiss that.

You do make some sense but your blindness to reason thwarths you. The best bet to win next years Wimbledon is Roger federer. If fit he will be odds on. After that nadal and Djoko have a more or les equal chance of beating him. This is the reality that the bookmakers odds will reflect next summer provided all are fit. On every surface other than grass Roger Federer is favourite to win every competition he enters and of course his off clay record against Nadal is a winning one as one would expect. On every surface other than clay Djoko is now as much a danger to him as Nadal is. If you want proof of this look at the odds for Melbourne when they come out.
