Hewitt v Roddick

[roostersgal4eva]

he will probally say lleyton, i say...

GO MARAT!!!

 

[SYDNEY_EAGLE]

I'm shocked by the lack of support for Hewitt.

Roddick is completely one-dimensional and has been flattered by the draw this year. Who has he beaten? No-one.

Hewitt is battle-hardened and won't give Roddick an inch.

Get behind Rusty, because he's got a date with the Big Russian on Sunday.

Expert!!

Here's another one.

It was just a prediction.. take a chill pill and ease up.

 

[McLeodMagic]

Well done Lleyton.

Roddick was ********e after the 1st set, his serve went off and when the rally went on for more than 5 shots he usually loses it going for all power hence the 50 unforced errors.

Should be a craking final, but I think Safin will edge Hewitt.

 

[SYDNEY_EAGLE]

I'm gonna listen to u from now on.....what do u think about the final?

The final is on Safin's racquet. His best tennis will be too much for Hewitt, but if he has a typical meltdown then Hewitt will be all over him.

Either way I think it will go the distance. Safin is in form and has been able to keep it together so far. The tennis he played against Federer would have crushed anyone else in the world.

Safin in a classic.

It's like I said....

just have a look at Hewitt's hunger. He's been on a emotional rollercoaster from day 1 in this tournament. He won't back off now.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

sydney, if marat has meltdowns he would of done it by now

he learns to cool it, he can beat annybody

Has it been confirmed if the final is live all through Australia.

Nothing personal. Although I believe you've given me plenty of attitude in the past.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't......and pi$$ed off if i lived somewhere it wasn't.

I tipped Safin to win.

Maybe not meltdowns, but at least lapses at crucial points.

Look at the sets he dropped against Federer. He got broken serving at 5-6 twice.

That is a f*cking costly lapse, and that's the sh*t that Safin is still prone to doing.

That said, I think Safin will win in 5 classic sets.

Got it in one Safin showed last night that his best is better than anyone's but the way Lleyton fights I just dont know?

true but he could of given up after 6 match points saved, the old marat would of

Agreed. It took a legendary effort to beat the legend.

I reckon it's almost too close to call. But by rolling Federer in 5 sets, Safin deserves to start favourite.

Hewitt's efforts suggests that he will fight it all the way.

In the end, I think Safin has too many weapons and too big a game. Roddick is one-dimensional, whereas Safin's groundstrokes will not break down as easily as Roddick's.

Safin in 5 sets.

 

[Sheeds]

This is going to be a great final.
I also find myself slightly more excited with the night final as well.

 

[SYDNEY_EAGLE]

Fine. I agree.

I'm just saying that even amongst Safin's new and improved focus, there are still points where he drops his bundle.

also agree, but he is getting better and better at it

 

[SYDNEY_EAGLE]

I will be barracking for Safin.

He beat Federer and therefore deserves to win.

If Hewit was playing Federer in the final, he would lose in 4 sets.

Only once i have replied back to your post (before this thread)..which was in the safin support thread.Figure it out yourself

 

[Funkalicous]

To be honest, I think both deserve to win. Hewitt has played quality name players throughout the entire tournament and has battled an injury. IMO he's made this final on heart. Whereas with Safin, the way I feel, if you beat Federer in a major you deserve the trophie. Go for it champs!!

 

[Bronx Bomber]

We can predit all we want but we will never know until abot 12 oclock Sunday night.

I'll be bold and tip Hewitt in 3!!

Quality name players? Like who?

An 18 year-old ranked outside the top 50 and two baseliner Argentinians with no weapons.

Safin beat Federer. He deserves to win.

 

[footyfreak]

Its a tough one to call. Safin beat the almost unbeatable and when at his best is an incredible player. But on the other hand this is almost Leyton's destiny, and i'd hate to playing against that, plus he just never gives up!!

I'm gonna tip Leyton in a classic final

CMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You lost all your crediblity there.Nadal is a very dangerous player who is breaking through now with a huge forehand.He destroyed federer last year on hardcourts with that weapon. You are looking at statistics too much.
