2014 Aussie Open SF: Fedal Volume 33

[Moxie]

Some cat and mouse there to Fed.

 

[tented]

Relatively easy, straightforward holds in the opening 3 games. Theyre still calming down, and settling into it.

 

[Omair]

So Fed serving first holds for 2-1 at 30.

 

[zalvar]

at least Rafa didnt get broken first game

 

[Front242]

I know, K. I need to make one. I have one on all movie forums I use cos it didnt need formating to such a small size

 

[Front242]

no Photoshop or any such program here

 

[kskate2]

No breaks yet. That just means there will be some later.

 

[Si Si Simona]

its gone be a huge match this one. the "new federer"...

 

[tented]

Feds already continuing the aggressive net play he used against Tsongs and Murray

 

[kskate2]

Im taking wagers: how many minutes into the match before the chair gives Nadal a time warning?

 

[tented]

0-30 -- now it gets interesting.

 

[Moxie]

Federer is not going to wait for Rafa to beat him, clearly.

 

[Front242]

well, he took his sweet time before even serving his first point

 

[tented]

Great passing shot.

 

[kskate2]

thats going to happen alot to Fed if he continues to come in. Will he change it up?

 

[tented]

He shouldnt, I dont think, because hes not going to beat Rafa from the baseline.

 

[Front242]

probably, K. Hell go all passive and crap at some stage

 

[tented]

I meant, he should continue coming to the net.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

some forehand

 

[Moxie]

God, what a ROS!
