2019 Wimbledon QF: Federer vs. Nishikori

[don_fabio]

Fed raised a level

With Uniqlo, there is not much success on the tennis courts though.

Haha the damn Nike curse. Roger did pretty damn well with them over the years. And yes I'm joking around, I am superstitious but not to THAT level. Fed's struggles since jumping ship are more age related and a drop in motivation afrer #20. I have no doubt the motivation is back in full swing as his career is being threatened quite directly.

4-1 — Roger is playing much better.

Maestro in easy 3 sets! His grass game is just too good.

That is after a long time I think Djokovic fan praised Federer.

Legacy on the line and this cunt rag is going to struggle with Kei Nishikori

Chill. He's going to be back.

Esurance break for tmf

Esurance break for tmf

It’s looking like his first round match — dropped the 1st, then got the 2nd 6-1.

EDIT: Yep, 6-1 in the 2nd.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

One of the cleanest set s of grass court tennis Roger has played in a long time. Bottle it up I say.

Why don’t they use the serve clock at Wimbledon?

Was he that good ? I didn't watch it.

Chill. He's going to be back.

I like Feds game a lot.

Fed has to work hard, but got it done

 

[DarthFed]

Some bad stats from Roger:

3/12 BP's
Just 48 winners to 29 UFE
Just 8 aces and 4 doubles.

Part of that is probably shit surface but also the 3/12 is the main reason they are still out there.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Roger still wasting too many break chances. But the DTL backhand is looking much better. He needs that shot to have a chance against Rafa or Nole.

 

[don_fabio]

That running cross court BH pass by Fed was a best shot of the day so far. Yeah, he is wasting too many BPs, but his game looks way better than the first set.

 

[AnonymousFan]

4-4.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

And Fed breaks right on cue.

Nishikori broken, Federer to serve for it!

Looking forward to Fedal officially happening barring a Querrey miracle

 

[tented]

Halfway to the Fedal SF.

 

[tenisplayrla08]

So Fed gets his 100th Wimbledon win. Great day for him. Too good for Nishikori today. Nishikori's serve just too vulnerable. Always has been always will be.

Now I understand why John MacEnroe always says that the 2008 Wimbledon final is the greatest match he ever watched.
