2018 Men's SF: Chung - Federer

[El Dude]

I'm feeling for Chung. In the end, he's a 21-year old kid playing the biggest match of his life against possibly the greatest player ever. He'll remember this match for a long, long time.

 

[El Dude]

Moxie, don't stir shit ;-). Roger is just destroying Chung, blisters or no blisters.

 

[Federberg]

I've got them both as 3 set matches.

that's ballsy mate. Cilic ain't no scrub.

 

[El Dude]

I wouldn't be surprised if Roger takes Cilic out in three, but at least a couple of those will be close. I could see something like 7-5, 7-6, 6-3.

My observation: He doesn't have enough time to setup those shots he's been whipping all across the court as FedEx is rushing the heck out of him. The roof being closed is not helping his cause any as it makes the air heavier and kind of zaps your energy when you're not used to playing in those conditions. And because the ball appears heavy to him, he's over hitting a ton because he doesn't know any other way to make an impression.

And to add insult to injury he's got blisters. Poor kid. As @El Dude says he will remember this day for the rest of his life.

 

[Federberg]

How did we hear about the blisters? Has he had an MTO already?

 

[I.Haychew]

Wouldn't be surprised if Chung retires.

For her Roger never wins fair and square.

 

[El Dude]

Yeah, he was getting his feet bound - not sure if it was a full MTO. It seemed to slow Roger's serve a bit.

on the last changeover, they were out there retaping him

If I bothered to get up, I ought to get to stir a little shit.

 

[El Dude]

24 to 6 on winners. Ouch.

 

[britbox]

Wouldn't be surprised if Chung retires.

I reckon he'll be around for a few years.. he'll get over this.

 

[I.Haychew]

He took an MTO. During the MTO, ESPN commentators said that it is a "pre-existing" condition.

 

[El Dude]

Chung is definitely hurting now.

 

[kskate2]

What! It's over.

 

[El Dude]

He just retired.

 

[Moxie]

Oh, that's a shame for the kid.

 

[I.Haychew]

I reckon he'll be around for a few years.. he'll get over this.

Good one!

 

[Federberg]

oh gawd it's over...
