How about the sodomization that Djoker put on Granollers? That isn't a score line you usually see this late in men's draw. I didn't see the match, but Djoker has to be in top form with a result like that.

per tennisabstract.com. For each player, the percentages listed indicates their chances -- as projected by Jeff Sackman's computers -- of getting to the semis, getting to the final, and winning the tournament. He gives the slight edge to Novak over Rafa.

Rafa has LOTS of trouble with the Djoker. And both guys are playing well. Should make for a great final if it happens.
Please let this final happen. I got Djoker in 5 sets

Ferrer doesn't have an 8% chance to win this thing.

It looks like Ferrer has an 8% chance to win his quarter final match.

I agree. Should be more like !% or less. I love that site, and I think the guy that runs it is really doing a great job in filling a much needed void in the way of tennis analytics. And it's only been around for a year or so. He's constantly improving it and adding new bells and whistles -- like player consistency ratings and comprehensive statistics filterable by seemingly anything* -- that I find interesting and useful. And so I don't wanna talk bad about his probability tree algorithm. But it's probably fair to say that it just looks to Ferrer's "power rating" as a player based on cumulative results, and isn't sophisticated enough to factor in the undeniable truth that Ferrer couldn't beat the top four players in a five set match on a hard court if his life depended on it (assuming no random injuries during the match a la Rafa 2011 (or was it 2010) at the Aussie Open.
Anyway, his computer did give Robredo a zero percent chance of winning the tournament, which is of course quite correct.

*If you wanna know what Thomas Berdych's first serve percentage is against opponents with 7+ inch erect cocks (measured from the bottom), there's probably a way on that site.

I dunno know about that. Frenchmen just love folding under the pressure. It's what they do best.

I can't really disagree with that prediction.
I really want Rafa to get his second USO, but Djoker appears to be rounding into peak form. I can see another epic final just like the 2012 Aussie Final between them. Which is one of my favorite matches ever.

Also, I have money on Ferrer, so I'm hoping he pulls this out.
Posted on 9/4/13 at 4:30 pm to bobbyray21
Ferrer drops a 5 setter to the frenchman.
