Man, I was wondering why the live score was stuck at where it was without any explanation. That sucks. Feel sorry for the guy. I am sure Grigor feels like shit too.

Goffin came to the net and Dimitrov, who was closing in on the net, hit a passing shot to Goffin's backhand. The ball glanced off of Goffin's racquet and hit his face/eye. It wasn't a deal where Dimitrov hit the ball directly at Goffin.

That's some bad luck for Goffin. Wasn't it just last RG that he rolled his ankle on the tarp or something? That chair umpire that Shapo hit in the eye had to have surgery, but that was a direct hit.

This interview gives Roger's take on a lot of the stuff we've been talking about regarding what Roger thinks about #1 and some other priorities

Sir Grigor played the role of Biff and sent Goffin back to 1955.

I know, too soon. Hopefully he's alright, he can't catch a break with these wacky injuries.

Mr. Federer wins in straight sets, the second in a tiebreak. His record and tiebreaks for the last year must be incredible and I do not know if he has lost more than one this year.

Seppi tried to make a match of it, but Federer was too much in the tiebreak.
Dimitrov vs. Federer in tomorrow's final. Hopefully it's a good one.

Finally, this is the match that will be really good to watch I think. Pretty match.

Fed's serve has been money. His intent is awesome. Just getting better and better I thought. He is still improving as he is going deeper into the HC tour. Just a treat to watch.

Is this match on Tennis Channel or ESPN in the US? If it’s on Tennis Channel, then I will not be able to watch it because I don’t have Tennis Channel.
Does anyone have any links for the match online?

So far, this match looks like a 16-year old trying to out drink a college kid.
I don't get why Grigor is so damn nervous. He puts too much pressure on himself.

Grigor imploding here. Might have picked up an injury. Seems to be favouring an leg. Fed in cruise control. 1 set up and a break already

Roger earned the first break a bit but Grigor has donated since. Fed returning well though, these days I pay more attention to that than his serve. The way his game is right now if he gets a lot of returns in play he is almost impossible to beat.

Seems to be moving better now, maybe Sir Grigor is pulling a Murray a bit.

You watch some of the instinctive stuff that we're so used to Roger doing and it stuns me that people question the superiority of his talent. This could be a workout
