Yoda Cup - 2015 Roland Garros discussion forum (Page 1 of 2)

Not sure of the exact date but the draw ceremony is this friday so after that date sometime we can start to pick teams.  Please see the post counter in the bottom left of your photo area so need to count your posts.

Welcome Poison to the insanity.  A word of caution.....everyone is super nice around here but they do know their tennis......don't be left behind...hhahhahahhh  I am thinking Stan.....

I did my picks.....I am rarely successful to begin with, but I am totally clueless in this particular Slam.  The whole Nadal/Joker thing is a wrench.

Nope, your Arvisness, I predict it will once again come down to the women's team.  Always does at RG.  Many great big flying wrenches thrown in the trenches among the wenches, y'know.

Hopefully Murray or Federer can clinch the title, "stealing" it from Nadal/Djokovic. That would be so awesome.

Nah, Federer has a way bigger chance at the title than Bouchard. She's been really bad this season, Federer has played great the last year and he has by far an easier draw than Nadal, Djokovic and Murray has. Actually that is something that actually speaks for a winner from the bottom half of the draw, the really tough draw on the upper half. On the other hand, it has been seen in the past many times, having a tough draw can also be benificial sometimes...

Unless the winner in the first quarter plays a 6 hour marathon match then has to face Murray after that, let's see how that goes, shall we? (Djokovic decision to rest a little bit can be an extremely important factor for him in this tournament).

However, my prediction is that we won't see an extremely tough match in the first quarter I actually think Novak will run over his opponent fairly easy in the quarter no matter who it might be

Federer can face Monfils, that is a dangerous one though, but if he's in good shape I don't see anyone stopping him from the final, but he definitely needs to play good tennis, he can't afford a bad day, I can agree on that. But comparing his chances to Bouchard's is to push it too far I think. She's not even won a slam ever, plus had a really bad season.

Arvis is known for being slightly facetious, Madman.  At least I hope so this time.  He did pick Bouchard to win the tournament though.

Don't forget Thiem too

Well, I don't see it Cuevas beating LaMonf

Why do you think I have three guys in that section?

Haha.......Cuevas is a pretty handy clay courter though Edu, a Fed v Monfils 4th round match will be highly anticipated, I think that's why so many of us chose either Kei or Tomas to make the final in Yoda, if there was no Monfils in Roger's section I bet there would have been more people predicting the maestro to make the final....I might have even been one of them, maybe.
