2016 Wimbledon Championships: Day 9, July 6 - Order of Play

[kskate2]

Finally Fed comes through 11-9 in the TB. Onto a decider. I didn't expect this. Will cough drop reinsert himself or fall off?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

OMG, what a set it was? 3 MPs saved and wins it on the 5th SP..

But, Cilic is no clown (La Monf) and so will not cave in. Fed has to go out and win it.

 

[Front242]

Wow, tense stuff that TB. My nerves couldn't take watching that. Hope Roger doesn't botch the 5th now as he's done the hard work now. Win or lose gotta love the fight from the old guy after the injury woes this year. Unless you're, Carol of course. Then you'd be utterly disgusted :snicker

 

[kskate2]

On Court 1, Milos breaks Sam at 30-40 and wins the match 6-4, 7-5, 5-7, 6-4. He awaits the victor of CC in the SF.

Cilic choked at 3-3 0-40 Fed will win now no doubt about it

Win? He won a set but I can't see him winning 2 more.

See 2-2 now Cilic can't finish the job Fed could give him a 4-0 lead in the 5th and he would still lose :cover

Doubt that very much with Cilic's serve. All sets have been very close apart from set 3.

One of the more memorable rants by Federer after a line call! ;-)

What I mean is he hasn't got the bottle to beat Fed today , you could give him a big lead but he hasn't got the killer instinct to finish it. Apparently he has only ever had 3 wins over the top 4 players. It certainly showed on the 2 MP when he had 2nd serves to look at and couldn't even get the ball in play.

If it happens a handful of times, you overall look it, but this is getting old! How many times have I "gone off" on the 2nd and 3rd tier unable to finish? Querrey lucky Nole burned his challenges at the wrong time which might have saved him on 2 cons. bad calls! Lets see if Cilic will complete this "bulimic" act yet again! :cover uzzled :nono :cover

It's the reason why the top 3 have won almost everything. But it is tiring seeing someone play so well all match yet play average on a MP , did you see Goran he must be mad

 

[Carol]

I'm impressed with that such big energy that Roger is showing :eyepop
And also I'm impressed how Cilic is getting melted.....

Maybe not a clown, but prone to choking. He could fold here at 3-4 in the fifth.

 

[nehmeth]

Whoop there it is

 

[GameSetAndMath]

MAESTERO SERVING FOR THE MATCH

 

[Front242]

In shock. Fair play, Roger. You legend!

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

Cilic lets Roger off the hook. Might be interesting against Raonic.

Choking is an understatement , Fed so lucky

 

[Frode789]

Holy shit this was INSANE.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

This is unbelievable. Fed hangs in there, digs deep and finally gets it done. :clap

Saved 3 MPS in the 4th set. :clap

 

[nehmeth]

Old guy with the thinning hair and pudgy midriff pulls it out in the fifth! :clap
