AO Semi: Stan Wawrinka (4) vs Roger Federer (17)

[Federberg]

interesting

 

[brokenshoelace]

This will really sting for Roger if he loses this.

 

[brokenshoelace]

The only time I like Stan is when he's bludgeoning the hell out of Novak.

 

[Moxie]

BS, commentator on my tv recently referred to "Wawrinka fans." I don't think there are any.

 

[Federberg]

I think he's starting thinking about 18. Before he was having fun. He has only himself to blame

 

[Federberg]

I@m not going to invest emotional energy in this. Been down this road too many times

 

[Moxie]

Well, and Stan, FB.

 

[Moxie]

MTO Wodge.

 

[Federberg]

I think this is more on Roger. He had a chance to step on his neck and he didn't. He let the Stanimal out. And we all know what happens then. NOt on your racquet anymore

 

[brokenshoelace]

The third set was dreadful. He just imploded for no reason and gave Stan belief. It's not like Wawrinka is playing that well.

 

[britbox]

Roger was a little tight in the first two sets... but Stan was worse. There was no excuse for that third set debacle.

 

[mrzz]

The only upside on this is that if finds a way to win, it would be more confidence building than a 3x0 win

 

[Moxie]

Giving Stan believe is a dangerous thing. Ask Novak.

 

[Tennis Fan]

No worries, Moxie. Tennis Fan doesn't care who's a fan of who. Tennis Fan only worries about herself.

 

[Moxie]

I was thinking about the sad volley, doll.

 

[Tennis Fan]

I feel the same way about Wawrinka, BrokenShoelace, no discernible reason either. He just rubs me the wrong way too.

 

[Moxie]

TF, I think everyone does. That's why I'm laughing at the reference to his "fan base". ??

 

[britbox]

Wawrinka will be smelling blood. Dangerous times for Roger. Has to protect that serve

 

[Moxie]

That was rather a long MTO.

 

[Tennis Fan]

It's weird isn't it? What is it about him? I can't figure it out.
