Question

Djokovic was beaten by Safin. Will Safin meet Roger in semi?

Answer 1

Looking at the draw I'd say it's very possible for Safin. Safin will play Seppi next in R3, and likely Stanislas Wawrinka in R4, should both players win their matches and make it there. In the quarter finals he'll play whoever comes out of section 4, the strongest player left there being Marcos Baghdatis who is very inconsistent throughout matches and tournaments. Nalbandian was also in section 4 but was beaten in R1 so that doesn't leave much competition left on Safin's corner of the draw. Then of course after the QFs he'd play Roger Federer in the semi finals.

Answer 2

Safin and Federer might meet in the semis if both of them would be lucky, or rather good enough to reach that far deep in the tournament...

Answer 3

Safin has to get past the others, but I don't doubt the boy. He should move up in the rankings.

Answer 4

for me two swiss will play in semi

Answer 5

I hope so!  He is a huge talent and can beat anyone when he believes in himself.  I am a Novak fan but I think both players got what they needed.  Novak needs to come back stronger while keeping his feet on the ground and Safin needs to get his confidence back.  I hope he gets to the Semi's and shows Fed how it's done!  Well done Safin!!!

Answer 6

i hope, but i don't think he's gonna get that far.-

Answer 7

safin wont reach till final

Answer 8

Safin's game is about as unpredictable as British weather. He just (unfortunately for us Nole fans) kept a good head in his match today and was at the top of his game. If he keeps this up to the semis, he will meet Federer. If he doesn't, and the wheels fall off during one of his matches like they so often do, then he won't get past quarters. If he does meet Federer, even if he is playing his best, I doubt he will be able to win. I'm devastated that Nole's been put out, and it's just unlucky for him that crazy Safin was having a good day.

Answer 9

maybe

Answer 10

Safin is really inconsistent so it's hard to say if he will make it to semi's.

Answer 11

Will Safin meet Roger in semi?

Yes he should.

Will he loose to Roger?

Yes he will.

Are Djokovic's days in the top 3 numbered?

Yes they are.

Is today a great day so far?

Yes it is.

Answer 12

I feel the same way.  If he can maintain his consistency, yes he will.

Answer 13

I think he will, and if he plays as well as he played against Novak he will give Federer a good beating.  Safin is bigger and stronger and when he's on top of his game (a rare occurrence) he is devastating.
