2018 Wimbledon Men's QF: Federer - Anderson

[Federberg]

Does anyone actually believe that Federer cares he's not on CC today? Or is there a practical difference in the courts?

I don't believe he cares one jot. But the courts are slightly different. It's grass though.

 

[DarthFed]

Well he takes it. He needs to stop fucking around, legacy on the line this weekend is what he needs to think.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Unbelievable, misses two sps on own serve and then clinches the set on opp's serve. But, I will take it any way it comes.

 

[DarthFed]

Everyone else has to make adjustments to playing on different courts throughout the fortnight. I'm sure Rog can handle it.

He is defending champion and all-time Wimbledon champ for men. He always deserves Centre court. If Nole wants to be on Centre court he has to become relevant again.

76% on first serve points, you get that in high 80's where it belongs and someone like Anderson won't be in many service games.

I'm a monster Federer fan, but this makes no sense to me I know you're just jesting

Sending two forehands long on his own serve in the tiebreak, that too back to back on set points 6-3 and 6-4. What was that all about? Anderson let him getaway. No chance in the world Nadal or Novak will pass that gift up.

That's the sort of thing that he's vulnerable to.

He's a vulnerable player but that's what we have to work with. Beggars can't be choosers.

I'm not joking honestly. Why in the world does Djokovic deserve Centre court when he is seeded 12 and isn't anywhere near the draw that Federer is.

I am with Darth here. What is the reasoning for putting Fed on Court 1?

 

[atttomole]

Nadal has not gone beyond the 2nd week for at least 4 years and he is still on center court.

At least Djokovic won it in 14 and 15. How about Nadal?

Kandy refuses to go away. This is so irritating. If it was dull, Kandy would've been done trying by now.

I have to

I can get on board with the Rafa instead of Novak argument. But Roger has not played on No 1 since 2015 apparently. I think he can handle playing there one time. Come on..

Nadal is currently #1 in the world and he also is playing a much bigger undercard than Fed today. Djoker hasn't been relevant for 2 years and no way he vs Nishi is going to generate more interest from the Locals than Fed vs anyone. I don't get it either.

I am not terribly bothered by it, but what are the criteria for making those decisions? Yes, Nadal should have been on Court 1 at least.

Sorry mate, have to disagree with you there. There was a poll taken of over 2,000 people. Most felt that Rogers match should be on No1. Rafa's match was the least appropriate to be on No1 according to voters

Time to stick a fork in Andrson. Go Fed!

the funny thing is, I would be surprised if Roger's bothered by it. The guy looked at his draw and saw he's playing Anderson. A guy he keeps in his pocket. I doubt he would care a damn if he played him on Henman Hill

 

[DarthFed]

Fed holding much easier this set, would be nice to finish with a break...
