2018 Men's SF: Chung - Federer

[El Dude]

I'm hoping Roger quickly goes up a break and then starts putting on a clinic of different shots. Right now he's playing it pretty safe and conservative - just forehand attack. He doesn't need to do anything more, and presumably won't. But it would be nice to see some drop-shots, saber, etc.

Is roof closed?

 

[Federberg]

Oh boy, Before I could get up and brush my teeth one set is already over.

According to AO site analysis, Chung's first serve is 10 km/h less in speed compared to the average of other five opps of Fed so far.
Chung's second serve is even worse. It is 20 km/h less in speed compared to the average of other five apps of Fed. So, it is a huge
liability. The analysis was right on mark.

This was the point I was making about the differences between Chung and Novak. How good is his serve, and how does his ROS compare to Novak's. I guess we have our answer now

 

[Federberg]

That's the sort of forehand winner that could set Chung at ease..

 

[I.Haychew]

Is roof closed?

Yes

 

[Denis]

It’s the cc fh exchanges that are killing Chung. He’s getting blown off the court with those.

 

[Federberg]

Roger has exposed Chung's forehand as a weakness from what I've seen in the last few games

 

[britbox]

Chung is getting dragged way out of his comfort zone...

 

[Denis]

Chung is not even close to making a stand...

 

[Federberg]

Chung is getting dragged way out of his comfort zone...

still think this guy's a bigger threat than Cilic? Bloody hell, I hope you're right!

 

[El Dude]

Just let him have it, Roger.

 

[britbox]

Bad call by the ump.... luckily it made no difference. Fed breaks.

 

[El Dude]

What a backhand down the line - damn.

I've got them both as 3 set matches.

 

[Denis]

Ok that’s it for me this AO.

See you guys at the French!

Congrats to the Fed and cilic fans for the title.

Cilic has fans? Can't stay long. Got to get my beauty rest for work.

Yep, Fed had racquet on it. It should have been a replay.

Cilic's mum is a fan. She buys him nice groceries.

 

[atttomole]

Roger has too much variety for Chung.

Me too. I just up to give it a look and I get Chung with blisters. Does Mirka pay them off?
