2014 Indian Wells Masters Final: Federer v. Djokovic

[DarthFed]

Weak H2H for Roger, same vs. Murray

 

[Tennis Miller]

darth, no, he just cant put together more than a set and a half of fairly shankless tennis against a top player anymore

 

[kskate2]

Fed needed the wind today...heehee

 

[DarthFed]

thats part of it but in general he needs fast courts for quick and cheap points

 

[Front242]

its not just the shanks, his serve went ti crap too

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

fun match. djokovic closes the gap on rafa..federer back upthe rank chartd too.

Missed the third set, but sounded like a nail biter. Congrats to Nole for this first title of the year.

The live chat will be incorporated into this thread later.

 

[DarthFed]

His serve was mostly good I thought, the problem is after awhile he cant defend the 2nd serves because he loses all baseline

 

[DarthFed]

rallies

 

[Front242]

hopefully Miami will have some good matches

 

[DarthFed]

is the draw out yet? Must be Tuesday

 

[Front242]

yup, hes rarely going to out rally Novak. that ship has sailed at 32 years of age

 

[Moxie]

Not sure how this closes the Djokovic gap on Rafa?

 

[Tennis Miller]

its a weird kind of tennis ADD. concentration and focus just not there consistently anymore

 

[calitennis127]

Very good match. I enjoyed it.

Federer played marvelously in some stretches, and Djokovic also did a great job being resolute and solid when he needed to be. Congratulations to Djokovic.

 

[DarthFed]

See if Roger can finally put together a decent Miami, he hasnt done well there since 06 when he won it

 

[Front242]

dunno, havent heard anything about the draw but looking forward to seeing it

 

[DarthFed]

what do you mean Moxie, he just picked up 1,000 points

 

[Moxie]

AH, THAT gap.
