2014 Aussie Open SF: Fedal Volume 33

[zalvar]

Fetal Position Disengage

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

there is the first set...rafa looked a bit better overall. no BPs for Royer yet

 

[Omair]

I can not see Federer coming back from being one set down. He played horrible two points to give two mini-break lead to Nadal.

 

[Moxie]

Interesting, Murat…no BPs for Roger yet?

 

[Omair]

Hope he does not retreat back into that shell and keeps trying and pushing Nadal.

 

[tented]

Im not sensing the confidence he had against Tsonga and Murray. Rafa brings up too many bad memories, I think.

 

[Omair]

Completely agreed Tented.

 

[Denis]

Rogers backhand is going well though, hes not afraid to hit it, so Im still giving him a chance.

 

[kskate2]

This match was always going to be a tough ask for Fed no matter what tactics he employs

 

[rafanoy1992]

I felt like Federer went passive towards the end of the set hence the longer rallies

 

[Omair]

Especially the volley he missed in the tie-break.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

good for rafa but clown fed try to baseline rally..where are edbergs input..its same old same old from fed.

 

[Omair]

Rafanoy, Federer went passive in his last match as well against Murray

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

i agree tented. In that game where it was 30-30 on rafas serve, where he had an easy forehand, he just missed it...

 

[Front242]

Mirka downing copius amounts beer to ease the pain

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

that is lack of confidence right there

 

[kskate2]

shes not drinking beer, shes preggers

 

[tented]

I was wondering about that, Front. Shes pregnant, right?

 

[Front242]

yup lol

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

rafa has a holiday..inside feds head.
