2017 Australian Open Day 7: Sunday, Jan 22 - Order of Play

[GameSetAndMath]

Good job TMF!

But, it looks like Kei has edge if rally gets longer.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

OK, must win a set has been won. :clap

But, no time to rest on laurels.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed has 4-2 ad in h2h. But, these two have never met before in a GS.

Career five-setters:
75% Djokovic 27-9
75% Nishikori 15-5
72% Murray 23-9
71% Berdych 20-8
69% Nadal 18-8
68% Cilic 25-12
66% Ferrer 21-11
63% Tsonga 15-9
62% Raonic 8-5
57% Wawrinka 25-19
56% Federer 24-19
40% Del Potro 6-9

Fed is way down the list. I'm surprised at how bad Delpo has been, even more so the fact that it includes Davis Cup matches. In Slam five-setters he's even worse, 3-8.

 

[El Dude]

Unfortunately I have to wake up in seven hours, so am going to bed. We're going whale-watching in the morning, so my girls will be waking me up all excited. Hope I wake up to good news.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Maestero makes the move and gets a break.

p.s. Who is that girl behind Mirka?

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed gets esurance break. :clap

Thank god it is sunday and I am able to watch it.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kei is still able to read Fed's serve accurately, but not able to control the damage.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

That was a quick set, with three breaks, exactly what the doctor ordered. :clap

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed +16 and Kei +3 in differential at the moment.

 

[10isfan]

The girl behind Mirka is MJ Fernandez's daughter. She babysits Fed's kids.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Kei breaks Fed. It is 3-2 to Kei.

Fed was careless on a overhead shot and it cost him.

He needs to get back on track. If this goes to 5th, statistically Fed is at a disadvantage.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Oh well, onto 5th set.

Advantage to Samurai.

Only positive thing is that Fed will be serving first.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed is +25 and Kei is +8 in differential right now.

But, one loose game from Fed will cause all the chaos.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

TMF breaks :clap

But, need to be very careful

 

[Front242]

Went for a snooze with the little guy and woke up to find Fed up 5-2 in set 5. First time in ages he's in a winning position in a 5th set. Good job, Roger.

 

[Front242]

Time to serve it out, Rodge.

 

[Front242]

Great stuff, Roger. Way to go.

 

[mrzz]

Good luck you went to sleep, Front. I doubt that there is one Federer fan who wasn´t sure he was going to lose after he lost the fourth. In fact, after he missed two BP´s in a hard fought game at 1-1 all in the fourth.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Congrats to Fed on a 5 set victory over a person who has the best 5-set record in open era. :clap
