Nobody is OLD at 30 y.o ! http://img.infos-du-net.com/forum/icones/redface.gifDjoko has a great chance, but he'll play Del Potro on next game.
Nadal has crappened on during his match against Isner
We may see great plays!
I think this tournament is very "open" to challengers.
Agreed with nobody is old at 30 but professional tennis players seem to have a limited shelf life at the highest level. Bjorn Borg retired at 26 didn't he? Not like pro golfers who usually peak in their 30's. Anyway, I also agree with the very open at this tournament statement as there seems to be a changing of the guard at the top. And there are exceptions, Andre Agassi and Jimmy Connors won Grand Slams in their 30s. And I'm in my 50's so I am old.

I concur. No one is "old" in their 30's, but when it comes to pro athletes, especially in tennis, it's rare to find anyone who can continue to play at a high level and win, much less.And NFL running backs.

The 2 Borg McEnroe finals at Wimbledon in the early 80's were the best tennis matches I ever watched. Thats when I got into pro tennis. Can't get any better IMHO.

Yes, I agree... but we talk about Federer. He is a one who can win a Gran Slam in walkerGreat thread you started here BTW. I have a question - Federer and Tiger Woods are close to the same age and alltime greats so which one will win his next major first? I would have to guess Federer since Tiger's game seems to have fallen off more. I hope to see them both win majors again but we shall see.

Having seen the match Federer yesterday, I am tempted to say Roger, especially as Wimbledon will soon arrive ... and I do not know when the next U.S. Open Golf
I want to believe because I find that the opinion has buried Roger a little too fast (although I agree it is less powerful than it was)
Djokovic - Del Potro: 6 / 3 3 / 6 interrupted by nightfall, but there the night has just been interrupted by the day and games will resume, I gotta go!
(BTW => by the way?)
