2019 Roland Garros Semifinals: Nadal vs. Federer

[Denis]

I think everyone believes he'll be keen for the Olympics next year.

Aha, so one more year then. Will he do the clay season though? Maybe he will announce his RG retirement.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Now, Ralph will be serving from the bad side; expect a break for Fed

I think everyone believes he'll be keen for the Olympics next year.

Especially with his Uniqlo endorsement.

I don't think he's going to come out and say it.

 

[Moxie]

Especially with his Uniqlo endorsement.

Yes, I think it's on Roger's shirt, actually, the 2020 thing-y.

Trump 2020?

I wish I could understand why Federer is simply not going DTL on the backhand side

But no.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

So any chances Fed will announce his retirement at the end of the year after this match on court?

It is the other way. If Ralph loses, he would have to retire. After all he is expected to win.

Not a big margin for error combined with a howling gale.

 

[Denis]

I'm going to join in on GSM optimism about Fed: at least Fed made more than 4 games already.

Was that his threshold to avoid retiring?

 

[mrzz]

and again the gift on the close encounter on the net!

 

[tented]

First DF, I think, for either guy.

 

[Moxie]

That was a great shot. Even I thought it was out.

Federer needs to drill those exchanges at the net, instead of being cute, even if it's right into Nadal.

 

[Moxie]

Great hold.

 

[britbox]

Big hold for Nadal.

 

[atttomole]

On a different surface Federer wins that point, Unbelievable defence from Rafa.

Finally! See? Is is that easy..
