2016 Australian Open Quarterfinal: Federer vs. Berdych

[El Dude]

Switzerland's Roger Federer (3) vs. the Czech Republic's Tomas Berdych (6).

Who goes on to face Novak or Kei?

 

[El Dude]

Roger is playing well, but Tomas has upset him before. I still think Roger wins it, although Tomas takes a set.

 

[mrzz]

Federer in three. Berdych will show signs of fatigue, and people will start to drawn an asterisk even on Federer's trip to the semis. If Djokovic-Nishikori goes to five, they will have it (the asterisk) ready for future use.

Ditto!

Roger, Roger, Berdych, Roger.

Roger is playing well, but Tomas has upset him before. I still think Roger wins it, although Tomas takes a set.

I'm sure Roger will be cautious because if you're Berdych you need to improve upon the last 3 time he played Roger - you know...when he got schooled all 3 times.:laydownlaughing Let's see how much Roger uses the drop shot tonight because the last time they played in London at the Tour Finals he must have hit 10 drop shots and Berdych never won a point. Surely he'll have prepared for that after London. Undoubtedly Roger will test him on it pretty early in the match.

Roger in three.
The movie has changed but the script is the same.

Exactly. Roger in 3.

Even though Tomas won their 2 GS encounters this one goes to Roger in 3

As Serena looks like she is about to close it out, I wonder, is anybody going to be around for the match?

For at least 5-6 more hours; night owl here in The States! :dodgy:

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

I am in...for a set or two. Serena gets broken, I might change my mind.

At least for a couple hours! I am enjoying my new apple tv, so I can watch this on my tv instead of my computer and sit on my couch with laptop!

Now let's get Fed and Berd on the court!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

In Berd's last match Birds came. Today the planes are coming.

Bird will be uttering the phrase "It's a Bird; It's a Plane" and
then sees across the net and say "It's Superman"

 

[Riotbeard]

They're on court!

Nobody and I mean absolutely nobody voted for Birdman

I am rooting for him, haha. Amazingly Kei got way more votes in the other thread...

 

[Riotbeard]

Both guys with strong opening service games.
