Pacific Life Open- Indian Wells

[red+black]

Looks like another one to the Ignore List.

 

[Geddy Lee]

Really?

I didn't see you making big calls in this thread for me to attack.

I was wrong. Federer is notoriously bad in opening matches and played at about 30%, Canas was experienced enough to take his opportunity, unlike Srichapan, Rochus last year. Well done Canas

 

[Geddy Lee]

It's now out of Haas, Hewitt, Roddick and Murray.

 

[Baxter Stockman]

Lleyts may have lost the first set but u can never count out the aussie battler!!!

 

[Cameron_K]

Hewitt is in big trouble here.

Could lose Federer, Safin, Robredo and Hewitt all on the same day

 

[Ricketts]

People still think Hewitt can still win tournaments.

Reality is he struggles to string more than 1 win in a row.

Sorry didn't he just win in Vegas?

He played pathetic today, the break in the first game of the match hurt him in the first and he didn't deserve the win.

All credit to Tipsarevic, Really stood up in the last set and deserved the win.

 

[red+black]

LOL at Hewitt and supporters.

nth tier event. I think he is incapable of reaching top 10 again.

 

[ShearMagic9]

This tournament is Lleytons!!!

Really?

 

[Cameron_K]

Obviously you have achieved so much more than Hewitt and can sit on your high horse

If Robredo, Blake and Ljubo are top 10 then anything can happen

 

[red+black]

This is true. Still don't see it. He needs a good draw at Wimbledon, a good result, which should then get him a top 16 seeding at the US.

Top 10? You're being a bit generous.

He's incapable of reaching top 19 again.

 

[Cameron_K]

He's incapable of reaching top 19 again.

Lets put some money on this

5 grand he will be top 19 with no doubt at all.

 

[Ricketts]

Slightly out of my bankroll zone.

Are you as confident that he will finish 2007 in the top 10?

 

[Cameron_K]

I believe he will finish 2007 around 10-13 especially with what he has to defend in the upcoming months. If his body can hold up and he can get back to playing as many tournaments as he has in the past I would say its 50/50 that he is back in the top 10 come 2007.

I honestly believe he will make it back there even if its at the start of 2008.

 

[Thrawn]

Fed has 41 consecutive wins (12-0 in 2007) and has something to achieve each round:

1: bye
2: 42 wins - Canas/Hajek (equal 3rd with John McEnroe)
3: 43 wins - Moya/Stepanek (outright 3rd)
4: 44 wins - Hewitt/Ferrer (equal 2nd with Ivan Lendl)
Q: 45 wins - Blake/Djokovic (outright 2nd)
S: 46 wins - Davydenko/Safin/Murray/Haas/Gonzalez (equal 1st with Guillermo Vilas)
F: 47 wins - Ljubicic/Roddick/Robredo/Nadal/Nalbandian/Youzhny (will hold the new record outright)

Thanks for jinxing Fed.

 

[Drummond]

I get home to see Federer lost! Canas you beauty! He's just returning from a drug ban I recall. He is a class player though as he'll be amongst the top 15 in no time.

Can't believe Hewitt lost though. Just when you think he's gaining a bit of form he loses to Tipsarevic. Tipsarevic is useless, Lleyton destroyed him only a few months ago in Adelaide. Very disappointing.

Hewitt is not as good as you think though.

These days guys like Tipsarevic have his measure.

 

[Arcadion]

hahaha lord federer is going down. i love it!!!
he'll probably come up with some arrogant excuse.

What, like this?
"I think he played very well and I didn't think I was playing poorly at all"

 

[Geddy Lee]

Hewitt is not as good as you think though.

These days guys like Tipsarevic have his measure.

But guys like Safin, Roddick, Blake don't. Hewitt played with a back problem, that's why he lost to a clown. I don't like him, but I give him the credit he deserves.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hewitt played with a back problem, that's why he lost to a clown.

And tehre it is again. When Hewitt loses it is becuase he is injured...all the friken time!

 

[Mr P@H]

Murray won... Good win really, in straight sets.
