It's one of those games when you're rooting for both players to lose.

For whatever reason, I cannot say I believe Federer on a serious decline. He has more young competition out there, but gosh darn, he is Great at 75% readiness.

dude i would not even respond to those silly posts, Grandslams usually attract an unsual amount of Knuckles scraping buffoonery, that serious people should ignore.
lay couple units on fedex and start feeling better about yourself. unless you have doubts and need somebody to talk you out of it.

If Del Potro wins I think it will be a sweep, if it goes the distance Fed should win it.
I haven't placed my bet yet, I'm leaning Del Potro, it I do take him i'll put a fraction of a unit on the sweep aswell.

I understand it's a fraction of a unit, but that is a waste. You're asking a guy who has never won a set off of Federer to win three without Roger winning one. I'd say that has the lowest probabilty of any of the outcomes for tomorrow. If you're not getting at least +2000 on that, it's not worth it. Even then, it's an astronomically small probability.

I don't understand this thinking.
As EaglesPhan36 said above, Del Potro has never won a set off Federer in his career, was beaten handily in Madrid, double-bageled in the Aussie Open, I can understand thinking Del Potro could come out and somehow pull a win in 4 or 5, but a sweep?
A sweep really isn't all that crazy, if you reverse the order of the names.

Del Potro is only 20, in my opinion he could be the next big thing in tennis, the guys already World Number 5, while Fed has been on the decline for a while now.
Fed looks like the logical choice and almost everything is in favor for him to win, I mean Potro hasn't even won a set against Fed, he hasn't even got to a tie-break with him!
However, if Del Potro is to become one of the next big players he will have to produce big results against the top players. Every big player was once in this position and had to earn his place among the greats.
Can Del Potro make a name for himself on the big stage? can he step up to the occasion? most probably not BUT if he does I want a piece of the action.
Del Potro or not bet for me, I won't put big units on Fed at those odds, I rarely ever take heavy favorites especially when it seems to good to be true.

Can someone explain this idea of Fed being on the "decline"?
Let's review. Name the only player in men's tennis to make it to the semi-finals of the last 5 grand slam events?
He lost the Wimbledon final in what many consider to be a top-3 match at Wimbledon---and then he won the US Open fairly easily. His losses at the French Open have been to the world's greatest clay court player, and his record is 23-3 in the last 4 French Opens.
Where/what is Federer declining in/at?
I don't see it.

Federer is determined to win the French Open like Kobe is to the NBA Finals. I'm liking Federer or Soldering (Mr. Upset) to win the French Open.

Who's watching this? Haven't been able. Del Potro I am guessing is just playing fantastic tennis. Stats look mostly even except Fed has offered up more break chances.
