That's just who he is. A counter puncher who plays the percentages..That's like trying to make Jordan a player who passes the ball and tries to make his teammates better..it's not who he is

IIRC Monfils has always been this way since his salad Junior days.

However at some point it may have been possible to pull a Matts Wilander, ie incorporate some more aggressive tactics into his game. Not an easy adustment grant you, but Matts had been the quintessential counterpuncher also but was willing to adjust for faster surfaces and ended up winning HC and grass Majors.

No way! I love it.

The Moustache wins over Kei in 4 sets.

Time for Fed vs. Original Baby Fed.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Only 1 game, Fed has already made 2 UFE. Unlike the first match this time, it is coming on the backhand side that RG is attacking.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed needed to save as many as three BPs just to hold the very first service game.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

After 3 games, Fed 7 UFE vs. 1 of RG.

 

[Fiero425]

After 3 games, Fed 7 UFE vs. 1 of RG.

......and this is the guy who's supposed to shock the world and upset the top eites to win his 9th Wimbledon crown? I don't think so!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed needs to serve at 5-6 now to reach TB

 

[GameSetAndMath]

It is TB time.

RG's flowing backhand is always beautiful to watch.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed played a very good TB winning it with a scorline of 7-1.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Fed has also made the differential +5.

Let us see whether winning the first set loosens him up.

But, he is not able to get into RG's service games much and so I think even though he will win the match, it will be like pulling teeth.

I only started watching with the tiebreak and...wow. Roger looks great. Very heartening.

 

[El Dude]

I don't want to jinx it, but shades of AO 2017...he looks light and quick on his feet and his forehand has some bite. Backhand looks good, too.

Of course whether or not he can tap into this level enough to go deep, is another matter. But it is nice to see that he still has it. This version of Roger can beat anyone here.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Wow, I stepped away for a while and Fed has won the second set with a score of 6-1.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Also, Fed has 35 winners to 19 UFE for a differential of +16 compared to RG's +4.
