And I believe the winner is…. 40ShadesOfDeuce who picked 6-4, 7-6, 6-2, actual score was 6-4, 7-6, 6-1. Nicely done, you are the prediction GOAT!
Watch your back ballboy 🙂
Ballboy2012, 40ShadesOfDeuce and Aimee are looking good predicting 6-4, 7-6 for Set 1 and Set 2
Quietly confident 😉 commiserations Bernard Tomic’s Hat 🙁
Update after Set 1: Quite a few people picked Roger to win the first set 6-4, now for Set 2
Federer 6-3 6-2 6-4
Fed to win in 4 sets.
6-4 6-7 6-3 6-3
While I hop Tomic wins or at least plays well, I think his last match showed a few weaknesses & it going to 5 sets would’ve taken its toll on him too… David v Goliath here, I hope it’s a good match. A 5 set epic would be nice…
Fed rolls 6-3, 6-2, 6-3
Federer wins 6-4 6-3 7-5 in 2h17…
Thinking Fed in four. 6-4, 7-6, 3-6, 6-3.
On behalf of my dad:
Federer in 4; 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-2
No disclaimers about family so
Atomic to drop his bundle, Dodgy Roger to win in a relative canter…
6-4 6-1 7-5
It will be a tight tussle. An epic battle… Roger Federer in 4; 6-7 7-5 6-4 7-6
Roger wins. Tom will get the first set but thats about it. 5-7 6-4 7-5 6-4
I’ve been thinking a lot about my prediction. I think Tomic may be able to get a set of Roger. My prediction is Roger to win in 4; 5-7, 6-4, 7-6, 6-3
Rog to win
7-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-3
Not a happy Fed fan today- a no show on practice court today after awaiting 30mins!
Nonetheless Fed to teach Tomic a lesson 6-4, 7-6, 6-2
6-0 6-0 6-1 to Bernie.
Sympathy game for the old man.
Federer will win , 6-4 , 6-3 , 6-3 ! 🙂
Not this time Bernie, Federer to win 6-4, 7-6, 6-3.
