THIS Federer has zer0 chances against Novak. Nada, Nil. :negative:

Now, now there. steady on. You can't just base it on the standard of his play in his match versus Millman.
Fed will rise to the occasion against arch rival and the king of the time wasters. The fact he's able to win in straight sets versus Millman (yep i'm calling it early) playing lesser standard, speaks volumes for his chances.

It's late and I've got a heavy week. I'm going to figure that Roger wins today. Would love to stick around and say shitty things about Roger, but that's not really me. I'll leave that puniness to some of you Fed fans. B-)
You are free to say shitty things about Roger.:)

why's he struggling with his serve tonight ?

Say mate, where can i watch this game online. Over here in Oz the coverage is fairly limited as SBS television, a free to air broadcaster, are doing some of the tennis this year, are only showing the USO from the quarterfinals on to the finals.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Usually @britbox has good links.

OK. Let me see if i can get a picture, insight on why Roger's struggling.

Is it because he's playing a night match? Are the conditions "heavy" and court plays slow? Is it related to age as in playing very patchy stuff ? Is he doing enuf at present, to keep the opponent Millman from gaining any sort of psychological boost, that he can get back into the match?

That or leave. Britbox just gave me rather a Fuck you. If I choose not to be as nasty or bitter or profane or slanderous as some others, it gives me rather less purchase. I used to enjoy the banter here, but it's getting poisonous.

I just think starting with the late rounds of Indian Wells he has struggled to be consistent match to match and within the matches themselves. I don't think going 2/20 on first serves to start the second set was due to heat. His serve has been subpar for large stretches this year and that was just extreme.

He's done enough to keep Millman at bay so far but this level would get him a short night against Djoker.

You can usually get a good stream on this Russian gambling website. @Hoergren found it.

thanks. Hey this year there's been some big announcements and changes with free to air tennis coverage in this country. It's great that SBS tv is getting the rights to do the French and US Opens. Next year C 9 will be doing the Australian but what about Davis Cup and Tennis cup Masters and Wimbledon? Will the Championships still stay at Seven ?

Well this match just got a lot more interesting after another late set gag from Roger.

No, I was complaining. And if you were a proper Admin, you'd hear it, and know why. I'm not the only one that's had enough of some of this. EDIT: NOW I'm being catty.

Not sure about Wimbledon, but I'm liking SBS covering sports. They cut through the crap. I like it when they get Premier League matches too.

This gag is a good thing if he actually recovers and wins the set. And if he does blow this set there is a decent chance he loses the match.
