I really have high hopes with Nishokori, Dimi. They are closing it to the big guys and I think they will now not lose to the likes to Murray or Ferrer. In fact they are almost ready to beat even Nadal/ Djokovic and in slams too.
There is no point of keeping any expectations with Gulbis. He will remain dangerous for anyone, but that's all. I hope I'm wrong here and he beats everyone to success.
I like Nishi, but can't really see him win slams. His style of play is not helped by his fragile health/stamina.
With Dimi, he has the potential, but is a long way away from slam finals and semifinals still; I am really worried for him having Rasheed as a coach, I hope he doesn't ruin him like he did Tsonga, he needs to get rid of him asap.
Did you get the chance to see Dominic Thiem?
Great forehand, looks really promising!

No No. Nishikori, dimi are not ready to wins slams as yet.. but I do think they will be able to beat some of the top guys to make lets say semis or even a final. Both of them ran Nadal very close this AO, perhaps they will learn from it. Dimi defeated Murray on his way to win Acapulco ATP500.

They now won't lose to Ferrer, even on clay.

Thiem I saw in some indoor hard tournament after AO, don't remember which one. Good player, good SHBH. But he needs to show some more results. Right now he is showing some promise, but they are never easy to keep up.

Interesting analysis of the match....though for me the tactics have always been obvious....it's the execution which is considerably harder to deliver and to deliver one needs the legs. Nadal knowing Djoko would get to most of his DTL FHs messes Natal's own plan a lot.

I am going to watch a replay this evening as I missed several games, nothing beats live adrenalin madness, though!

by Tenez Wed Apr 02, 2014 12:16 am

I tried but youtube has not got the rights, where can you get to see the match?

by noleisthebest Wed Apr 02, 2014 12:44 am

I tried Youtube, too...
TennisTV probably has it, but was too tired this evening to watch it from the desktop, Ipad app only showing live matches.
May dislodge myself from the sofa and sit at the desk tomorrow.

Not even on full TennisTV desktop version yet, will probably be up in a few days...only IW final so far, may watch that and then compare with Miami final when it comes out, should be interesting.

I was looking at Tennis tv....Is streaming quality good? Do they have all slams and 1000s?

by noleisthebest Wed Apr 02, 2014 12:54 pm

Streaming quality is very good, I think they show all masters 1000, 500 and most 250, but unfortunately no slams, which is frustrating, but only during AO & USO as BBC tend to do excellent online Wimbledon and Roland Garros coverage.
You used to watch it on Eurosport, is that any good online?

by Polly 81 Wed Apr 02, 2014 1:27 pm

Yeah I've got tennistv and I feel that the quality is really good as well. It's so handy that you don't need to go find a dodgy stream that usually ends up buffering at important points.
Also, it shows all the matches at the WTF, unlike the BBC. smiley

by Tenez Wed Apr 02, 2014 2:28 pm

Eurosport is good for some slams but I believe no or very little other atp tournaments. I managed to watch both IW and Miami on free streams and wasn't too bad.

by noleisthebest Wed Apr 02, 2014 3:24 pm

TennisTV is not bad value for money esp if you like match replays, it has lots of those , over 670 pages dating back to 2002..

by Tenez Wed Apr 02, 2014 3:38 pm

It is not good value if you are only watching a fraction of the matches they have.

...aaaaand!
If all that hasn't convinced you, one of the replays from WTF has a nice footage of me waving my NOLEISTHEBEST flag (upside down!!! ) Winking

Ah.....never saw that.
