With Rogers current run of form and the way he dismantled Rafa at Indian Wells, I must say he still might have enough juice to win a couple more slams. What do you guys think?

Permalink Reply by Jazz Burks on March 29, 2012 at 11:43am Fed is a great bet to win Wimby or the USO. He is a good bet to make the RG finals and if Rafa and Nole kill each other during the clay season like last year Fed might sneak off with another French title. If Roger sticks to the game plan and latches on to the Nadal backhand like a rabid dog and volleys like he did at IW. A 2nd RG title over Nads would also put some distance between the Pete lovers and the claim that that Fed has a horrible record against Rafa.Like they said in the 100 greatest of all time "Roger couldn't beat just one guy at RG, while Pete couldn't beat anybody at the French." Imagine Fed dethroning the "king of clay" in his own house? Roger the Usurper!

I thought Roger would have his way against Rafa in Australia a few years back after having played a whale of a 5 setter in the Semi but that didn't work too well. He will have to sustain his level of play and he's been having trouble doing that- against the two top guns especially.

Permalink Reply by Mark T. on March 29, 2012 at 4:36pm Remember that Fed beat Djoko at RG after a clay season of seeing Djoko "destroy" Rafa. Then what happened? Rafa destroyed Fed at RG. RG belongs to Rafa.
Permalink Reply by Chin Be on March 29, 2012 at 7:10pm Only way probably to win the RG title is if Rafa and Nole end up in the same half and ND takes Rafa out. I like Feds chances against ND than against Rafa.
Permalink Reply by Mark T. on March 30, 2012 at 10:20am I would agree with that. But I think Rafa is in Fed's head at RG. Truly hasn't even come close. But being one and two, ND and Rafa wouldn't be on the same side of the draw.
