Roger having trouble staying away from the Tsitsipas forehand. Seems to have found a bit of energy again at least. Tsitsipas backhand has improved a lot and Roger isn't really winning long rallies.

15-30 on Federer's serve...Tsitsipas is starting to return Federer's serve now.

Predictable. Feds been serving like crap since near the end of the 2nd. What an embarrassing performance.

So so weak, Roger. If you're gonna lose let it be because your opponent wins and not into the net or wide every second point. So so lame. The scoreline might be similar to their Hopman Cup match but the quality is way lower.

This is embarrassing. Fed could not convert in 12 chances, but the young guy converts on his 3rd chance. Fed's conversion ration has gone to 2013-16 levels.

Well, at least he won't lose to Rafa. And to be honest, while I want Roger to win, I'm also excited to see Stefano rise.

I'm wondering if Roger is thinking about 2001 Wimbledon. Cycle of life.

Because tomorrow is sunday, I stayed up for this. Otherwise, I would have just gone to bed.

I'm starting to hop on the "Federer is done train". Looked low on energy by the end of the 2nd after gagging badly to let the kid back into the match. Maybe he can do something at Wimbledon but I doubt it. If anything the mental walkabouts are more deadly there.
