2016 Australian Open Semifinal: Federer vs. Djokovic

[Kieran]

Things will become exponentially more difficult for Federer if he loses the first set, and now he's down a double break...

 

[Frode789]

And the match is essentially over when Fed hands him the double break in first set... Fed won't come back when a set down, we all know this.

 

[Kieran]

I thought BBC might show this one, but... :nono

 

[Frode789]

And first set 6-1 in just 22 minutes. Awful, just awful play by Fed. If you are a Fed fan, just do yourself a favor and turn the TV off.

[Kieran]

I wouldn't get too dramatic just yet, it's only the first set. Unless you're one of them Truthers who think that a set and a break down is game over.

I expect Federer to up his game now, but the task has multiplied, no doubt about it...

Kieran, BBC announced a few months ago that they will not broadcast the AO this year, for budget reason. I read it on the net.

Nole has an early dinner reservation w/ the Mrs. and Boris! He is "smoking" Roger like a Cuba Libre! :eyepop :nono :cover

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Just woke up and saw one game only. Usually people have nightmare when asleep. I am having one after waking up. The score is 6-1, 5-2 to Novak. :cry

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Tomic is right! Roger is nowhere near Novak's level. :cover

 

[herios]

It was worth waking up for this one


6-1, 6-2
:clap

You should now go back to sleep, that is your remedy for the nightmare

 

[isabelle]

is there a match in AO ? pitiful performance, boring match, what a s...semi, very disappointing for the first GS of 2016, hope Raonic/Murray"ll be better

6-1, 6-2

On another board we were hoping for a "beat down" like this to encourage the next generation! Right now, Roger's playing well enough to suppress their progress it seems! uzzled :nono :angel: :dodgy: :cover

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed holds twice in a row in 3rd set.

Backhand UFE: Fed 29, Novak 0.

What happened to all those whopping 100 UFE?
