You seem to have a chip on your shoulder.

Enjoy watching Carreno Busta vs Anderson in a semi final of a grand slam and then a one sided final. If this was a 250 event then that would be a great semi final. If your idol decided to pull out at the right time then the draw wouldn't have been strawberry floated. Do you think I'm the only one calling him out for it? Rafa called him out on it too.

Nadal is 4-0 vs Anderson and Carreno Busta. Del Potro is 6-0 vs Anderson and hasn't played Carreno Busta yet.

Del Potro, Federer or Nadal would have gone through to the final in their sleep if they were on the other side of the draw. Murray with a dodgy hip would have too.

So you couldn't answer any of my points and repeat what I say. Well done.

Tennis fans get far angrier than football fans.

You were making points that you wanted me to reply to? Sorry, it came across as a tantrum.
If your idols had played well enough to be seeded better, or even make the semi finals then things might be different. But they didn't. Had Rafa been on the other side of the draw, he might have gone out in the first round.
To win a tournament you need to beat the players in front of you, not whine that you didn't get an easier draw.
Diddums.

Murray should have pulled out. You know it you're just being a contrary strawberry float.
Like Murray was.

Murray did pull out. You're just being precious.
Like Nadal.

Federer isn't my idol. I've criticised him many times for his arrogance if you bothered reading this thread and the way he played against Nadal over the years. But you only probably show up for Wimbledon.

Played well enough to be seeded better? Erm they were the first two seeds once Murray withdrew if you actually paid attention. It's just Murray decided to withdraw after the draw was made and replaced by a lucky loser.

Rafa has been on the harder side of the draw and yet he's made it to the semi final. So even then your point is stupid. The other side must be tough when Kevin Anderson makes a semi final. Then you have a Spanish journeyman who hasn't dropped a set and has lost more games than he has won on tour. So tough, I'm sure Rafa or Roger would have struggled big time with that. They should have quit after the draw was made too with those odds.

Unlike you, I want a competitive final. Not a one sided affair like Wimbledon or the French open was. Rafa vs Federer/Del Potro would have provided that. The Australian open final was by far the best match this year. So sorry for preferring a final like that rather than Nadal/Delpo vs PCB/Anderson.

I would be saying the same thing if Federer, Nadal or Djokovic pulled that gooseberry fool. You had a injury and missed two months. Then surely you know if you are ready before the draw is made.

Rafa is the second seed. He's expected to make it to the final. Your point is stupid.

No he's not. He is the first seed. Incase you forgotten he replaced your idol as world number 1 last month. Federer if it wasn't for his back would have done so after Cincinnati.

Yes he is expected to make the final, so why did you say he could go out in the first round on the other side of the draw. Federer would have been put on the other side of the draw. He would have avoided Delpo and Rafa until the Final. He would have played Carreno busta or Anderson in the semis. I would fancy him in both of those games considering he's never lost them. Do you just repeat what other says? Maybe you should stick to your one line posts or smilies. You might make more sense then.

Murray pulling out after the draw was made didn't just ruin the tournament as a spectacle but he ruined it for the fans who paid tickets for days on the lower half of the draw. But you never been to a actual tennis match, so wouldn't know about that.

We all know that if Murray had been fit he'd have won the tournament so you're all talking rubbish. Whoever wins the tournament will still only be the 2nd best player in the original draw.

No it didn't. Your idols were seeded in places and people bought tickets before my hero pulled out. People didn't by tickets expecting to see the draw as it would be without Murray so if he'd pulled out earlier that would have changed it outrageously for the people who bought the tickets as you are claiming. But don't worry, you go back to your Fedal wankshrine as you never been to tennis match so don't need leave tossbox soon.

Drummy is right. If they pull out of this pointless argument now then it will ruin the thread.

Atleast make sense when you are insulting people. Oh you need me to say it, as you have a habit of repeating after me. That makes sense.

Also you can buy tickets in advance before draws are made. You can buy tickets for the Australian open right now. That's in January if you didn't know. But you are boring me now.
