fed could chuck some gerbil food over the net maybe,

 

[GameSetAndMath]

finally a love game by fed; keep it up dude.

Why are they showing boxing on tv? It is not the case that JO Willie is on court either.

That's what I'm wondering. Earlier I had little league, now I've got boxing. Watching on the internet. Why to I pay for the Tennis Channel, then, if they're not showing a MS/Premiere ATP/WTA combined event?

 

[TennisFanatic7]

This is increasingly reminding me of Roger's Miami loss to Kei this year. David coming out of nowhere this week after an R2 loss in Wimbledon, a QF loss in (was it Bastad?) and that loss to Leo Mayer in the Hamburg final....

This match could go either way.

I know people don't like it when fans of a player blame a loss (or potential loss) on said player not playing well, but if Roger loses this it is such a clear case of him...losing and Ferrer not winning. Roger is so dominant over Ferrer in terms of their matchup, so clearly above Ferrer's highest level that he will have to shank his way to a loss. And he very may well do so.

I think it's fine to say that on occasion, when it's true. The problem is, with Fed, it's always what his fans say.

Really? I only say that when the match-up so clearly favors Roger, like against Ferrer. I don't say that when he loses to, say, Rafa - where the match-up favors Nadal.

Great pass gives David a BP at 2 all.

True, it's others that say it more, but do give some credit to the opponent here. And it's not like he's ranked #50.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Big hold from Roger. Every hold is big from here on...

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

tannoys got a bit of bee gees going on..AH AH AH AHHHH STAYIN ALIVE.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

From 1-10 what's the level of this match?
I say may be 8

 

[GameSetAndMath]

got out of trouble. but it should not be that troublesome in the first place.

 

[TennisFanatic7]

It's 4.20am for me. I honestly can't believe I'm still up watching this. Roger should have done this something like 6-3 6-3...

I can't complain though, who wants straightforward, predictable matches?

I give credit to Ferrer hanging in there in the third set, but the second set was all Shankerer.

[TennisFanatic7]

Roger pulls away then?

What's with this low down camera angle? Bugger off I want to see the match....

A lot, yes. He had about 2x the UFEs. And now he has the break, so it may be moot.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

A Break then fed tries a shank into orbit.

Tannoys?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

OK. good; now, don't give it back.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[TennisFanatic7]

What a glorious way to clinch that game from Roger

I had a confused headache going on until now but at 5-2 in the decider I think it is beginning to fade again.
