Tennis : What Happened To The Plan Of Dorkovic Dumping Federer Out In The Semis

Bjorg must be more nuts than a bowl of Swiss muesli if he thinks his record isnt getting beat in a few days. ~~~ erm ~~~

Best Answer To Tennis Question

Basically Borg and Djokovic both look like complete idiots after Djokovic lost to Safin. Borg implied that should Federer lose Wimbledon this year, he will no longer be the best and should immediately retire from the sport (ie just as Borg did in the early 80s after he lost to John McEnroe). Then Djokovic didnt focus and started to look too far ahead in his draw. In the end, Federer is the winner, as he was truly gracious in response to all of the criticism; when asked about Borgs comments, he refused to bite back. However, I still think Federer may have trouble if he plays in the final against Nadal.

All Answer To Tennis Questions

Answer 1

If I remember correctly, Borgs favourites for Wimbledon 08 were: 1 Nadal 2 Djokovic 3 Federer I thought that was a bit of a gamble, but Im sure he had good reasons. In response Tim Henman said he cant see Federer Winning. I agree - on grass he is just too good. A betting friend of mine agreed with Borg, saying that Djokovic has a very good record against Federer in recent matches:- ?id=53706 That is true, but when Federer gets on that centre court he always plays his best tennis. I dont think Djokovic could have matched him anyway. What Borg didnt account for is Safin. Time is running out for him to fulfill his potential at wimbledon, which could be the reason he played the best tennis Ive yet seen from him. Djokovic didnt play badly, but just not good enough to match the way Safin was playing. Its easy to underestimate Safin at Wimbledon because in recent years he has had a short temper and was always injured. This year Im watching him closesly now - he just might be able to do an Ivanisevic. For more info check out my tennis website:- /

Answer 2

Yeah, youre right. I think his mind might be slightly changed, but if Im not mistaken... the person he chose to upset Federer was none other than............... RAFAEL NADAL!! Yup. I still think that hes going with Rafa to win this Wimbledon title.

Answer 3

Dont listen to Bjorg. His RG pick for 08 was Roger (on his least fave surface) and then Roger 3rd on his favorite surface. It doesnt make sense.

Answer 4

who is borg?..i dont remember...
