In the third set, Fed lost a game early and then was serving with a score of 2-5 (yes 5 games to Noah) and in that game Noah had two break points that Fed needed to save. Otherwise, Fed would have lost the third set and that too as a double break set loss.
However, Fed won three games in a row to make it 5-5 and then forced it to tie-breaker and won the TB quite easily.
After the fairly easy first two sets, ESPN switched to some other match and so I don't know what exactly happened. But, Fed seemed to kick his legs and catch the foot (like one does in some stretching moves after biking etc). So, it looks like physically he is not 100%, either due to lingering injury issues or because he got tired after two sets. Independent of what is the case, it does not bode well. I think QF may be the ceiling of Rog at this AO.
