2019 US Open QF: Federer vs. Dimitrov

[don_fabio]

Dimitrov only managed to beat 1 top 10 guy ever in GS. Is this true. It's Andy Murray who lost. What a backhand !

 

[DarthFed]

Fed S&V far too much so far, odd

 

[DarthFed]

Dimitrov is playing well outside of the disastrous first few games. Roger looking pretty poor but still holding.

Grigor’s play is getting better.

Dimitrov has a pressure of must winning this set. I have a feeling he will crack at some point.

 

[tented]

I feel a tiebreak coming ...

 

[mrzz]

Now we have a pretty good match after all.

 

[DarthFed]

Decent hitting here and there from Fed but not consistent enough aggression. Dimitrov can't handle pace that well, part of what makes him a poor returner.

 

[don_fabio]

Grigor needs to improve his first serve percentage

 

[Double Bagel]

Grigor' s service game has been better this set and he is dictating the play especially on his service game making this a good 2nd set. If he can pull a break he could be right back in this match.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Just started watching from the beginning of second set. Grigor seems to be holding on his own.

 

[mrzz]

Is it just me or Federer's slice is floating deeper and higher than usual?

Just started watching from the beginning of second set. Grigor seems to be holding on his own.

He is now, but he barely even realized he was on court in the first before it was over.

 

[Double Bagel]

There you go. Just what he needed.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Federer is starting to shank...yikes! Grigor breaks...

 

[Moxie]

The plot thickens, a hair.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed blinks

 

[DarthFed]

Roger hasn't won a neutral rally in about 20 minutes. If he ain't playing first strike tennis he can lose to anyone

 

[rafanoy1992]

If I were Dimitrov in this set (now he has the break), just focus on your serve!

 

[Double Bagel]

Huge game here for Grigor.
