2018 Wimbledon Men's QF: Federer - Anderson

[kskate2]

He could save this match in 4 if he can get it to TB

Now to the 5th set.

 

[DarthFed]

Because he is almost 37 years old...

37, 7, 87 it doesn't matter. This is a mental loss. He's had a lot of those in his career. This set will be over in 20 mins, 6-2 or worse.

KA is full of confidence now. His ROS seems very good and serve is good as usual.

Main problem seems to be Fed's forehand is MIA.

 

[rafanoy1992]

The good thing about Federer in that last game is that he started to return better.

Now we will see...

 

[DarthFed]

Just tuned in. Why is Fed imploding?

He blew MP in the 3rd set, as soon as he lost that set I gave KA a 75% chance of winning the match. This is what Fed does when he loses MP.

There is no good. He will lose, id bet my house on it. He never steadies the ship after what's just happened.

It is all about missing forehand

he does mate, you just remember the bad stuff. Looks like he's starting to come forward every now and then. If he can just focus on that this might actually be a good lesson for him

 

[Federberg]

Apologies to you Kevin Anderson. I thought you fist pumping was a bit preppy and annoying. Clearly it's working for you..

 

[atttomole]

But Anderson is lights out right now.

 

[Federberg]

I can barely put myself through watching this shite anymore

 

[atttomole]

This looks almost over.

That Paire match is the only one I can remember where he lost match point and then won it. Playing Anderson, Rafa, or even #300 in the world I'd bet on a Roger loss here. I know his psychology all too well.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Fed is too slow right now...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed back to living on edge on own service games.

 

[monfed]

Fed needs to break early, it's the only way he can save this match. Kanderson is not gonna hand it to him, notice how he goes big when he's down and he's hitting lines.

I posted in Fed fans thread the complete list of matches lost by Fed after having match points and also won by Fed after saving MP.
They were fairly close. I think 17 and 18 or something like that with just one difference (can't remember which way).

 

[monfed]

Wondering when is Kanderson's level gonna drop a bit here. He's been ridiculous the last couple of sets.

 

[monfed]

Fed playing passive on return. Not gonna get it done like that Fed. Gotta counterattack.
